Craigie's Farm Deli and Cafe in Edinburgh, City of

Gone down hill, used to be better quality and freasher food. Over priced. Very slow service in spit of lots of staff. Staff clothing dirty.

Here for Easter activity day and was really good value for money, kids had a ball.

You've had years worth of feedback on what to do to fix the cafe/ restaurant and ignored every bit of feedback. Everything except the cafe is good.

My 12 year old stepdaughter had the Clydesdale experience with Wendy today. She really loved this and Rhona who took her round and showed her what to do was really amazing- made her feel really at ease and taught her a lot!

Craigie Farm rescued our day out when we couldn't get a table in nearby South Queensferry: spacious, airy cafe, with fantastic views over the Forth and the added bonus of being able to see the planes land at Edinburgh airport. Friendly and accommodating service and delicious baked tattie skins. Go!

Best play centre we have visited. Kids enjoyed going to farm area, inside play and outside play. We had a snack then went to visit ponies. Returned to the play barn and did everything again! Good that the shop had a variety of toys with a range of prices. Great that we could go in and out. Staff were helpful and friendly. Cost pretty good for the time spent there. We will definitely be back.

We visited little farmers with 1x 1 year old and 2x 4 year olds. The 4 year olds loved it. As did the 1 year old. But, seriously, 2 adults and 3 under 5 £38.85 inc booking fee? It's very expensive. As a mum with a 1 year old, just the two of us would be £16 + booking fee. I think that's excessive. My boy can barely walk! I can walk but, don't really need to be there but for my child. The food is expensive. But, nice. I would probably buy more food and drinks if I wasn't paying £8 for entry? What do I get for £8? Another chance to run after my boy? You do get a "free" cup of tea or coffee but, I don't drink either. So, overall, it's an expensive day out when you can go to the park for free. However, as I said, my friend brought her 4 year old twins and they were absolutely loving it. She might still be there now!

I went yesterday with my dad and a uncomfortable experience with a waitress there . It was not nice . And has put me of going back .

Our daughter (and us actually) had a lovely time. Play barn is unlike any softplay we've been to and getting to see the animals and actually groom one was incredible. Price probably limits how frequently we'd visit but would definitely come back!!

I felt quiet uncomfortable with one waitress serving us today . Part from that it was ok . Its putting me off going back . It's very for families with kids the experience today was quiet of putting

Visited here on Saturday for breakfast. The place was nicely busy and staff friendly. I had the lairds breakfast. I can't complain about the quality of the produce. But unfortunately, the breakfast items were cold. Maybe just because of the way that things are stored. All in pre made bain marie's. Won't stop me returning to try again.

We came for a coffee to heat up after the allotment. Anna J was an absolute delight! Super smiley and welcoming. An asset to the team!

Our first visit today. Great location, easy to get to and great views from the cafe. Well stocked farm shop too. Really enjoyed our time there.

Coffee was really good and staff were welcoming. If a family of 4 adults are attending with 1 child we thought the price was overpriced - not reasonable - 3 adults just wanted coffee and to see little one play - no allowance for this and therefore extremely overpriced !

Really rubbish experience in the cafe. The service took forever and was disappointing. They have a shop full of lovely local produce that clearly doesn’t make it to the restaurant. Real mass produced rubbish. They are also pointlessly serving drinks in disposable plastic cups, I thought was pretty irresponsible for a farm cafe, simply to avoid washing.

Lovely lunch and very good service

Arrived at 11.30 and told we may need to wait 30 mins, which we said was OK. We ordered bacon rolls and coffee and asked that they be served together. 1 hour later the coffee arrived and we had finished the coffee by the time the rolls arrived!! The waitress Helen was really apologetic and was as helpful as she could be, but the fault was not with her and I hope she is valued as she was really trying her best. Completely unacceptable.

We had a lovely afternoon tea at Craigies for Mother’s Day. The service from Michele was fantastic. It would have been nice to have had a menu which described what all of the items of the afternoon tea were as we were only informed of what was in the sandwiches. It would also have been nice to of had the option for a plain scone. It would have been nice to have been given the option to sit in the area that has recently been done up too.

Good selection, great quality and attentive service. Would recommend.

After a wonderful morning at the little farmers play area we headed over to a deli to buy some fresh produce. We were sold already cut piece of St Andrews’s which I queried already in the shop that it looks a little bit black. The server brushed me off that it’s how it’s meant to be. After cutting it at home one day later we realised it was all mouldy inside. Really disappointed as they are giving the impression of premium service. Won’t buy cheese or eat there from fear of food poisoning

The staff were very helpful. The afternoon was excellent! Good value for money !

Enjoyed a beautiful afternoon tea here this afternoon for Mother's Day. The food was lovely, everything was of great quality and you could tell it was all freshly prepared using their own produce. We unfortunately couldn't manage it all so took the rest home in a box. The girl serving couldn't have been more accommodating, as was the lady who greeted us on arrival. A pleasant afternoon all round.

Firstly let me say, I love Craigie’s Farm! I love the cafe and the farm shop. Both are top notch. However, on this occasion, my self and my daughter (15) were meeting family (2 adults and 1 4yo) for coffee and a catch up in “The Little Farm” play area. Myself and my 15 year old daughter were charged £14 for the privilege of a table and a chair to sit in, which included one filter coffee or cup of tea each (15yo does not drink tea or coffee). I am sorry but this is an absolutely ridiculous price! I understand paying for children to play, absolutely no problem. And of course, I would expect to pay for food and drink whilst there but £14 to even enter the building with no children of playing age is daylight robbery. Be ashamed of this Craigie’s and please do better!!! Even if we had been spending time with any of the animals (which I believe you can) £7 each is still expensive. Maybe consider a tiered approach to your charges and people would respect you more. Feels like you got a bit big for your boots. Hate leaving less than favourable feedback but feel it was warranted on this occasion - sorry.

Disappointing service and staff that were not really bothered. The cafe was quite so there was no excuses of staff being busy! Had to send main meal back as it was cold and when we ordered cakes after our meal we waited 15 min's before I had to go and ask a member of staff where our order of 2 cakes and a pot of hot water was only to be told 5 min's later the order hadn't went through and she would put it through again, by this time our teas and coffee were finished so we were't wanting cakes with nothing to drink, there was no offer of refills as an apology all I got was if you don't want to wait I can box them up for you to take away (most likely charging full price). Completely there fault this order didn't go through and the girl who served us didn't even notice we were still waiting I had to ask. Won't be back in a hurry as I would hate to have seen the level of service if they had been busy.

Great play area Plenty of room for kids to play Complimentary coffee/ tea was lovely Good choice of food and particularly breakfast items Animals are very well looked after Petting animals was a real highlight for the kids A must for a family visit

Popped in for a gluten-free steak pie on Monday. They didn't have any in stock, so Olly made the effort to find out why and if they were getting a delivery soon. Unfortunately, he was unable to tell me why at the time but said he would phone be and let me know. He called back later that afternoon and said he still didn't have an answer but has asked his colleague to find out and give me a call. I received a call on Tuesday to say that pies had been ordered and that they would put 2 aside for me for collection. Picked them up this morning. Thank you so much for your excellent service. 😀

Family of four (regular visitors) enjoyed another tasty breakfast of filled morning rolls and poached eggs on toast. Food was very well presented and all tasted amazing. Lovely service too. As always, bought a few goodies from the farm shop. Looking forward to our next visit.

Went in today and ordered a Caesar salad , well few lettuce few croutons and an egg is not enough to feed a child ! This costs £9 and if want to add chicken that’s another £3 , wow how can you justify this price ?… ridiculous ….

Went to the playbarn on 2nd March with family and a 2.5 year old. Usually love the playbarn but on arrival today tables and floor were incredibly dirty with discarded food everywhere. There was not a single usable high chair due to mess. We went...

The staff are really friendly and helpful The young lady handling the animals , pony was pleased to pass on information on the animals she was looking after very knowledgable My 4 year old grandson had a great timer well done all

We visited Little Farmers and it was brilliant! Really clean and easy to navigate for our shy little one who can bit quite cautious at soft play places but was straight in here and loved it all! We were served by Gabi and she was...

Visited today for breakfast and unfortunately had a very poor experience. Myself and family agreed the breakfast was rotten and not worth the money. I wouldn’t waste your time. My juice was served in a plastic disposable cup. I’ve had better breakfasts in a super...

Been ages since I had a cooked breakfast so I popped along on Sunday morning. All very good and no complaints. On arrival the waitress informed us that they were busy and there could be up to a half hour wait. We were in no...

My Daughter’s birthday party was at this establishment. Freya took care of all our needs and was amazing and so friendly. Freya kept coming up to the party room to make sure everything was okay and to see if we needed anything. The pony groom...

My son just had one sausage roll no salad, was charged £9 the same price if he would have had it with salad and coleslaw. Even to be charged £5 for the sausage roll would have been better than the £9, they are selling it...

Good children's play area in a natural farm setting in a working farm. Friendly staff and good intro to live animals. Tranquil would be a good description, mindfully that there will be lots of young family friends having fun.

We went for the Halloween walk through. It was fantastic and such a good laugh. The staff were nice and friendly no problems at all. Little bit pricey for food and drinks though but overall a good experience and it’s good for kids too

The little farmers play area was really good and my son loved playing it. We didn’t go outside as it was raining but the outside area looked fab as well. The animal experience was good although some were difficult to see. My little boy enjoyed...

Great selection of fresh farm produce its pricey but top quality so worth the extra.

I just had some homemade raspberry jam delivered to my house and I can confirm it’s the best jam around. Literally 2 ingredients which you’ll won’t find in any store bought jam and the taste is next level. It’s the closest jam to my nans homemade jam I’ve had. The biscuits were great as well! Really good delivery service. Will for sure be ordering again.

Good local food with great staff. The views over forth worth a view or even a photo

Greeted nicely by staff and offered a table with great view. When I looked at the menu was disappointed by vegetarian options, several of them, however either cheese or lentil/pulses. I am vegetarian with reactions to these foods. When I asked if an egg sandwich...

Why is it that farm shops and garden centres seem to think that they have an almost divine right to overcharge? This afternoon (9/02) I popped into Craigies on the way back home from Edinburgh with a good friend for a cup of coffee. On the way out I rembered I needed bananas and picked up a bunch of six at the farm shop there. I just avoided a heart attack at the till when I was asked for £3.12. Did I buy the bananas? I did not, but on the way home I went to Asda and bought 6 bananas at a cost of 84pence. Make up your own minds about that. The coffee was fine.

Great staff, brilliant range of activities but too expensive

My daughter loved it and the staff are very good with children. Would recommend

Dining area recently updated, looks nice and current with a bit more space. Online ordering caused some problems but the team at Craigies were quick to work around the problem.

Haven't been here for years - pre pre-COVID. It's lovely to come back and find that an 'old friend' doesn't disappoint. Even with the changes they've made over the past few years the four of us loved it. Two of the party were newbies but I'm sure they'll return when they're back in The Burgh in May💋❤️

Yesterday I went to Craigie’s for lunch with my Mum. When I was shown to my table, I was promptly told it was table service only whilst I walked past the kitchen area that honestly looked like school dinners. The atmosphere was far from a...

Piuttosto costoso ma il cibo è locale e di qualità.

Just a very quick review to say we love the playbarn. Our boys (7&5) think it’s brilliant and never want to leave! It’s not plenty for imaginative play and is sufficiently different to other places to be special. The cost is inkeeping with other local...

We booked a party package for my son's 3rd birthday and if was perfect from start to finish. Honestly can not fault anything.

Lovely place for breakfast with a beautiful surroundings. Egg Benedict was delicious but portion was rather small. Child friendly staff and area. High chair provided and they have playground outside for older kids. Shop is lovely. Great for gift shopping. Great variety of cheeses, wines, sweet stuff , teas and coffees. If you're lucky you can see highland cows in the area. Definitely recommend.

We booked Little Farmers at Craigie's for our daughter's third birthday and it was fantastic. The party room provided, Oink, was lovely and roomy with enough space to have a large table for all the children, space for adults to stand and sit, tables for...

Went here for Santa Grotto. Good experience. Little one enjoy the time with Santa. Soft play was ok. But not clean, some ppl wearing their shoes to the soft play. I think they need someone to look after the area. Not many food choices at...

Having not been to the cafe since pre covid we were looking fotwstr to eating there since it had been done up. No more order at service. Limited selection. Super slow staff, food arrived small portions and cold. Definitely preferred it prior to it moving to table service.

Get my turkey here and various other bits for the Christmas meal ,always fantastic service and first class food .

Santa grotto, amazing experience, kids and us loved it. Very professional and funny, gifts are fantastic and good quality Thank you so much for all🎁

This was such an amazing Santa experience , so relaxed, calm and very well organised. Mrs Claus was my kids favourite, she was fabulous

Quality breakfast, absolutely delicious. Great staff. Wonderful.

Absolutely appalling ! We came in to the shop to buy wine that was priced at 8.49 online. We drove for an hour to get here (fuel price) and wanted to buy 2 full cases. Unfortunately in the shop the wine was priced at £10. When we spoke to the customer assistant about it and said that instead of ordering on line we can just get it here he said he would speak to the office. He came back in 10 mins and said that they cannot discount alcohol but I could still order online for click and collect. When I went online the prices were updated and the customer assistant said the person in the office updated it just now. I find it very rude and sneaky. We were going to buy a substantial amount and I feel we were lied to and dismissed. Absolutely disgusting and I will never be back.

Santa was fantastic and the trail leading up to meeting him was lovely. I have a 7year old and a 4 year old and they were both swept up in the magic!

Really had a great time there. Our 1 year old daughter loved it and was really impressed the Santa experience. Would recommend for sure.

The Santa experience was a great family 8day out! Would recommend and will look forward to visiting next year!

Visited many times with my 3 year old granddaughter who loves everything about it. I enjoy it too mainly because due to its booking system it's never over crowded. It's spacious, clean and inviting. Good food and coffee. Staff are always cheery, professional and welcoming. I've been to many farm places of this type and many have put in minimum effort here they continually put in maximum effort and it shows. Well done.

Went with my wife and 2 young kids for the Santa experience and the kids loved it, highly recommend it

Good breakfast. Very busy. Slow service but nice food

THE perfect Santa experience for your little one. There was a little story and adventure until you got to meet the happy fella himself. And the gift the wee one gets is lovely! I'll be back next year for sure, far nicer experience than in the centre of Edinburgh where its rushed and not personalised and nice like this - GO!!

We went to see santa. The 3rd year of going and it never disappoints. It made my 5yo very happy. Would definitely recommend.

Great selection of local goods with the opportunity to pick your own. So much to choose from, we chose lettuces and cabbages from the selection outside and several punnets of raspberries, strawberries, plums and blackberries: all were just perfect. Inside there is a large range of other, high quality goods, mostly from Scotland but others from further afield. The cheese counter is a must.

We went to see Santa? It was great, my granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed. Would highly recommend it, we had a hot chocolate.

Brilliant, plenty of stuff for kids to do, can get outside in nice weather and the animal sheds are a great idea. Will return

Brilliant for kids, plenty for children to do with the indoor and outdoor space, the animal sheds are a nice idea. My son (2 Y/O) loved it

We visited for the Santa experience and had a fabulous morning, it was magical for the kids and really nice to see Mrs Claus not often you get to see her! Definitely Recommend :-)

Nice and cozy place. Great service, great products. Great view.

We had the most amazing time at craigies little farmers Santa adventure at the weekend. The boys absolutely loved every minute, the full experience from start to finish was just magical. Thank you so much for an amazing day 🎅🏻🎄

We visited Craigies on Saturday for their Santa event and what a magical girl we had. From Elf training school , making reindeer dust with Mrs Claus, hanging our wishes on a stunning Wish tree to meeting cute ponies, naughty elves and the loveliest Santa himself. Everything about our morning was beautiful and we left feeling full off Xmas spirit and wonder. Thank you for giving such magical memories .

Popped into Craigies to buy a Christmas tree and the. went to the shop to purchase a gift for friends. Nico was fantastic helping put a bespoke hamper together. Genuinely kind, considerate and helpful - a great asset to the organisation with superb customer service....

Always something to bring away.This time was a Christmas tree and some most excellent scotch eggs. Yum.

Been looking forward to today for a while but unfortunately it was just so disappointing and not worth the money for the Santa experience. Spent over an hour waiting in the cold to meet Santa after two interactions with santa’s helpers which lasted around 5 minutes. Quite a few upset kids and a few annoyed parents too

Visited last weekend with my family .. lunch for 3 of us. Such a lovely place and first impressions were good. Staff accommodating, clean, tidy and warm. Not sure what happened after that .. We decided to order 2 grazing boards - one meat and...

Disappointed meals initially came out wrong and cold. They did get it right eventually. After complaining they gave the children 1 tray bake cake each. With so many places around now serving quality hot food they really have to get it right first time around. Wasn't that busy either.

Home made cooking in restaurant good selection at butchers and deli. Nice indoor play area for kids and children's farm.

Hi John, I held back on leaving feedback previously just in case our experience was a one off. However, having returned a few times now I support the theme of several other reviews here. The deli cafe seriously let's the place down. Staff are rude and indifferent. On this occasion we stood at the "please wait to be seated" for what seemed like an eternity, staff saw us but no-one approached. My wife eventually went up and spoke to a waitress at the servery, and was met with the usual dismissive attitude. We just turned round and went home this time.

My sister and I took our nephew to the spooky tunnels and to do pumpkin picking. He had an absolute ball. It was well laid out, loads of pumpkins to choose from, and the story teller was excellent.

It's an amazing place, just outside the city. Great food, activities, and the owners are lovely sweet people. If you're in the area, it is a must visit, especially for the little ones!

Another great visit to Craigie’s, this time for breakfast. Family of four enjoyed a very tasty combination of full cooked breakfasts and filled morning rolls (with haggis, delicious). Food was very well presented and all tasted amazing. Lovely service too. Of course, a visit here...

Wonderful Halloween event, really enjoyed the thought that went in - it was fun!

We had a great time at both the deli and the play barn. Great place and friendly staff. We would definitely go again.

Great food and good service. Went to Craigies for the pick your own pumpkins and then stopped by the cafe and shop afterword. The food at the cafe was great and reasonably priced. It was easy enough to get to Craigies from Edinburgh, just go...

Went for a Halloween event with family. Everyone left disappointed. For the amount of money we paid we were expecting to have at least a good hour of entertaining night but what we got was 5 min walk through muddy tunnels with Halloween decorations ,...

Used to be great but really gone down hill. The system for the cafe does not work, queuing over 20 minutes to get seated then awaiting 30 minutes to have our order taken. Overall 1 hour and 10 minutes to have a cup of tea...

Great day out ! We normally search and search for the perfect pumpkin well not this year we decided to search for the ugliest pumpkins. Every pumpkin deserves a home ! Then haunted tunnels, what a laugh my girls and I laughed and screamed !...

We had a lovely time at Craigies pumpkin picking. Special shout out to the two guys on the till at the exit of the PYO who were very nice.

Went pumpkin picking here. We were packed in like sardines, we had to go somewhere else as couldn't fit in the cafe. This was frustrating as I didn't want to have to go anywhere else. We paid 23 for 2 people and you didn't even...

Really great service. My daughter has asd and they helped her meet her food needs and staff were fab. Thank you

We’ve visited craiges a few times now and quite pleased with this place! The apples are Delish and one of our favourites and the highland cows are beautiful! Pumpkin picking was more expensive this year it felt but as excepted. These are grown themselves so...

What a complete rip off. Never going again. Pumpkin are a disgraceful price. Company that run the place lining there own pockets. Rip off families looking for some season fun

Хороше місце для проведення часу з дітьми. Є ігровий майданчик з тракторами. Спробували морквяний торт, смачний і з корицею, але крем містить дуже багато цукру. Горячий шоколад теж був смачний. Була невелика черга щоб сісти за столик. Є сувенірний та продуктовий магазин. Можна придбати гарбузи. На території ферми можна погодувати тварин. Є великий паркінг.

Was busy but really lovely soup

Had a nice afternoon visit here. The place was busy, and so the Service wasn't the best. We kept getting the wrong orders delivered to our table...and they tried presenting us with someone else's bill after we'd already paid. I guess they might have been short of staff? The staff were all very pleasant and helpful, however. Would recommend.
