Ducks Farm Shop & Cafe in West Dorset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A lovely place for breakfast or lunch. Our family of 4 stopped here for a delicious breakfast and cakes.

Great cafe, good food and the shop sells all manner of goods.

Drove over for the first time hoping for a tasty lunch and to buy a few bits from the farm shop. When we entered the cafe we were struck by how dirty everywhere was and the amount of flies buzzing around. We dubiously took a seat and ordered some coffees and lunch. The coffees were served fairly quickly but we couldn't drink them as the actual cups and handles were scolding. My Americano had no crema top at all so we could only assume the coffee was just filter and had been heated in the microwave which would make sense as to why the cups were so hot. It took simply ages for the food to come, app 25 minutes, by which time we could just about pick up the cups. My Welsh Rarebit was served on bread not toast...unbelievable. Needless to say we did not visit the farm shop after, instead we made a hasty retreat never to return.

Stopped here for breakfast whilst in Weymouth. We got the veggie full breakfast. Sausages tasted of nothing, beans tasted like a no frills brand and hash browns were soggy. Shop next door had some nice products but over priced. A real shame as it in a lovely location.

Lovely well stocked deli with small cafe serving light meals and sweet treats with a good range of drinks. Small car park. Toilets including disabled.

We ate breakfast here as it was provided by the Kings Arms pub as part of our bed and breakfast stay. The breakfast was good with good quality produce and tasty. Well recommended

The most delicious banana and toffee cake 🎂 and a fabulous bike ride!

On a rainy Dorset morning we Popped in for coffee and a cooked breakfast. Perfect latte presented in charming pottery. But best of all was the local food particularly the amazing bacon!! My Eggs Benedict was delicious, made with bacon and perfect eggs. Across the table big thumbs up for the full English with added black pudding. Friendly staff who ensure tables are kept clean, much appreciated. Will be back and can only recommend.

Excellent service, love their farm food. Regularly pop in for a top up.

Good food. Dog friendly. Had a really good breakfast. Friendly helpful staff.

Stopped here for a coffee and a cake when travelling along the coast road. It’s easy to spot, good parking. Nice selection of cakes, good coffee, friendly service Small farm shop to wander around

Stopped for coffee here, but ended up having a 🥪 and a piece of 🍰as well. Both were lovely and fresh and coffee was excellent.

Nice place but the selection seems a bit limited

Quite a disappointment. Breakfast Menu very restricted. I hate sausages, but menu said No Swappsies, so there they were on my plate. However everything tasted good, nice and hot, (stingy with the butter though) The biggest disappointment was the shop. I wanted to buy some preserves as gifts, but although they looked home made and aesthetically pleasing, but they were made in Cheshire!! Why? I want authentic Dorset produce. Anyway, they had local honey which was lovely. Last of all, difficult access for disabled. A step up into the cafe at both entrances. Oh, and the parking spaces need repainting. Very haphazard at the moment.

Awesome breakfast and lovely people

Often, wander down the hill for an ice cream and drink with the children. Friendly staff, range of produce, and groceries. Lovely cafe.

Great choice of produce; real quality and value for money.

Quality place to stop for a very decent coffea

Easy parking, nice farm shop, pity we didn't have time to stop at their cafe

A splendid find. Top quality breakfast at a very reasonable price. Staff friendly and the furniture was comfortable.

Food in the cafe was excellent. Lots of local produce to choose from

Lovely food but expensive as is everywhere now.

We passed this farm shop on the way to Bridport. I’m sorry to say this is not a farm shop, no local produce in fact hardly any produce at all. I’m not sure what has happened as previous reviews are good and fully stocked shop! Very disappointing. I can’t speak for the cafe as we didn’t stop for food.

Terrible - rude staff Breakfast arrived cold and undercooked Beans were cold,eggs clear film over the top and toast (warmed bread) Sent it back had to wait 15 minutes for the same plate to arrive back beans were boiled eggs were like rubber and had 2 hairs found on them and toast was black and still cold. Wouldn’t recommend or return!!! Here on holiday on the campsite opposite which is amazing

Decent farm shop with a good cafe, that serves the usual baked potatoes and sandwiches, you can also select something from their deli with two sides, food and prices excellent.

Great stop for breakfast and to collect a few groceries. Cracking little find. Staff were polite and lovely.

Excellent all day breakfast and service. Highly recommended.

Very expensive ie grapes in coop £1,85 same size here £3. 00 RIP off

Friendly staff, Good breakfast and coffee

Nice Dalle, full of flavour, shop had great choice of local produce.

Lovely little village shop very very expensive but we appreciate they need to survive in business. There black cow vodka with English strawberries is an absolute must try..... you can taste the strawberries and cream beautiful 😍

Excellent bacon bap and a good cup of coffee served by very friendly and welcoming staff as usual. Can’t believe the negativity of the review just read, it should not be allowed as it’s nothing to do with the food.

You should be ashamed of yourselves, once again, disgusting treatment of your staff. Every one of them is worth their weight in gold and this is what they get in return. I was told the other week you were reducing their hours, ok so November is a quiet month, now I’m reliably informed you’re letting them go. I bet the staff in your other businesses are sweating, and so near to Christmas too. Enjoy the new house you’re building , while your staff are struggling to pay their mortgages. Great food, service 2nd to none.

I had the pancakes with bananas and maple syrup. Delicious! The pancakes aren't the fat ones but nice thin English ones like you make at home. Good coffee too. 😋

Staying at a campsite down the road so thought we would visit sadly to late for the cafe but bought a few things from shop with lovely friendly staff and reasonably priced local products would highly recommended

Great selection of local Dorset produce.

Only went in to buy some milk so it's unfair of me to leave any good or bad points but seemed fine to me

We had a lovely full English here, having previously popped in for a cuppa. Food was of a good quality, and there was plenty of it. Very friendly staff, always nice when they want to ask where you’re from etc. Stayed at the Dairy site, so this is ideal

Lovely little farm shop , lots of goodie in it

We had a lovely light lunch in this small cafe, staff were also friendly and very helpful. The ploughman’s lunch my wife had was very nice, although crusty baguette, was substituted by nice white bread which was strange, but not in appealing. The coffee was hot and well made; the farm shop was well stocked with a wide variety of local produce of all kinds.

Ignore review about unfriendly staff very friendly lady from Bristol, great coffee, and eggs royale . Would recommend

Lovely little shop- staff helpful and friendly. Served a very tasty full English breakfast. Will definitely return.

Dogs not allowed says good selection of meat but only bacon and sausage’s

Nice breakfast, nice gift shop.

Fresh farm produce but very pricey

Not very friendly, ignored when arrived and at till when placing order as someone on phone and other staff member just fiddling around not looking at us. Food ok, nothing great- very basic. Ploughman’s for £12 had three very small pieces of quite old cheese and came with cheap sliced bread! Cheese and onion scone tasted like a day old as was quite tough when it had been heated. The farm shop was expensive and not stocked extremely well, looked as if they are struggling a bit. Looks better from the outside than in, wouldn’t visit again. Also loads of cars in car park but only two sets of customers, must be staff cars.

Very pleased with our visit here on a wet day in Dorset. We had tea and fresh scones....and more tea as it was still raining. All excellent, friendly service, interesting farm shop which is worth looking round.

I’ve read some strange reviews about this place but I have visited 3/4 times and my experience has bee excellent every time. Rye is a particularly friendly face in the cafe.

Ate breakfast here twice recently (at the start and end of a walking trip). Small and friendly and we all had two very good meals. Lots of choice and very good value. We can recommend both the ‘duckling’ and the full breakfast.

Oh dear, what has happened to this lovely little cafe? I've often been in for its imaginative dishes but today I called by for a quick soup of the day. Unfortunately it was served so scalding it burnt my mouth, and the bread was two slices from a loaf, how boring was that? The hot chocolate was flavourful and made up for some of the disappointment

Had a light lunch today. I had a steak and ale pasty and my wife had the fish chowder. The pasty was rammed full of steak and there was loads of fish in the chowder. Both dishes were delicious and well worth the visit. The staff were very friendly. It is a shame we don’t live locally so can’t visit again in the near future.

Great little café for a drink or lunch stop. Much nicer than it looks from the outside. Great deli too with a wide choice of goods, some local.

We enjoyed breakfast on three mornings at Duck's Café while on holiday in Dorset recently. The quality of the food was excellent and the coffee was delicious. Staff are welcoming, friendly and efficient. We look forward to returning when we next visit Dorset.

Dropped in on this chilled place for supplies while on holiday and food looked so good we stayed for lunch. It was delicious. We had the quiche and salad and it was sensational. Also the deli shop has plenty of tasty treats along with standard...

Waited ages whilst 2 members of staff continued their private conversation even though it was obvious I was waiting at the checkout. Eventually a lady appeared who rang up the goods but there was no words from her and no eye contact. Just thrust the...

Good hot breakfast and good coffee. Friendly staff and lovely and clean, great if you are staying at camping site opposite

Staff pleasant but poorly trained. Problem with kitchen equipment meant a 30 minute delay in serving a cooked breakfast. We were only informed of the delay when I went to chase up the order. Properly trained staff would have told us of the delay, offered...

We love coming to Ducks for coffee, brunch or lunch. Their bacon rolls are amazing and my son always has the full English. The staff are always nice and helpful especially to a friend who is very particular about her bacon!

Great farm store with products at fair prices.

We stopped in for breakfast and both had the eggs Benedict which was delicious. The prices are slightly higher than your average cafe but this is clearly reflected in the quality of the ingredients. The attached farm shop has an interesting array of meats, cheeses, etc. My only gripe was that the tables feel quite close together which means it was rather noisy. However, this isn't a deal breaker for me when the food is this good. Post-covid update: food still great and still recommended.

Brilliant shop and deli. Good choice of goods. Nice place for a coffee too and the food looked goid.

Can't recommend this cafe and shop enough! We had three breakfasts here. All were AMAZING! Full English breakfast was delicious with sour dough bread and locally sourced bacon, sausage and egg. All staff absolutely lovely, friendly and helpful. The shop a cornucopia of delicious food items and Dorset specialities. Also, sells daily papers! Wonderful! Thank you for making our stay so great!!

Lovely cafe, pretty cheap for a farm shop cafe but was really nice. Staff were also friendly. The farmshop is also nicely stocked, with a bring your own container section which is nice to see.

Food very good staff pleasant and nothing to much trouble will be going back

Popped in and so many unusual pet gifts,food! Loved the array of foods gift and cafe looked lovely but didn't stop!

We ordered 2 breakfasts, jacket potato and a Welsh rarebit. All good apart from my husband said the sausages weren't the same quality as they used to be. Also the 2 scones we had were dry but the custard slice was delicious. Very good cappuccino.

This little place is just lovely, the staff are friendly and helpful and happy to have a little chat, the menu is small but perfectly done. I went off menu and asked for scrambled eggs as I detest egg whites. They were more than happy...

Stopped here for lunch - delicious food, great quality and lovely service from the friendly staff. The shop has a huge range, not inexpensive but all highest quality. Would go back for sure.

Fantastic shop and terrific Breakfast 👍🏻

Lovely cafe with good cakes and lunches. Well stocked farm shop- we managed to get some nice Christmas bits.

We was staying in Portesham and popped into Ducks a few times. One morning we had breakfast in the adjoining cafe and it was delicious ! One of the tastiest breakfasts ive eaten. Top produce on that plate ! When next in Dorset i will...

We bought a Xmas tipple but we returned it as we felt it had turned to vinegar The staff refused to refund us as they felt it was fine I do feel disappointed with there attitude towards us and we left the bottle with them.

Never been before but driving back from Weymouth thought I would stop for a cream tea. Saw the menu and opted for portabello mushrooms with a welsh rarebit sauce, on a bed of exquisite finely diced salad and leaves,delish. Staff very friendly and could not...

Husband went in for takeaway sandwiches while I waited outside with the dog. He said the staff were extremely friendly and couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. They made the sandwiches freshly with whatever filling he wanted. We certainly visit again

Lovely lunch, great coffee. Staff very friendly. Stopped here by chance but loved it. Reasonably priced too.

Delicious breakfast served beside a well stocked traditional English farmhouse with lots of goodies

Pretty good selection of most things, though prices reflect proximity to the campsite. Nice cafe to try too.

Great farm shop with unusual products and nice cafe with outside seating area. Friendly staff, great coffee and ploughman's with pork pie. Cafe and shop both reasonably priced.

We stopped by and had lunch. The Dorset rarebit was tasty but the portion is quite small. As a farm shop we were surprised at how little fresh produce was there but they did have a variety of condiments, drinks etc.

Lovely food, great service. So many great products to choose from in the shop.

Relaxed place to eat. Small menu but top draw food. A lot made fresh in house. Staff BRILLIANT.

I was shocked by how rude the lady behind the counter was. It was like I was an inconvenience to her rather than paying over £30 for breakfasts. No smile or thanks or help at all. There was no Wi-fi despite the advert. They are...

An ok farm shop let down by selling some cash & carry stock which can be picked up at a corner shop cheaper

The coffee was not good but the breakfast was.

Me and the family recently enjoyed a breakfast here. The food was exceptional and the staff were very polite and really couldn't do enough for us all. Every food item was bursting with flavour! We could all tell that the food was to a very high quality and not cheap, tasteless rubbish. All in all a great experience and will 100% be back anytime I'm back in the area. 10/10

Excellent Farm shop and cafe. Stocks most essential house hold supplies like a village shop but then has all the things you would expect of a farm shop and more. Lots of locally sourced produce. We tried some very tasty Dorset cheese. The cafe service was friendly and efficient. My cheese scone was delicious. Will definitely visit again.

Wonderful food and friendly staff

Great for a short stop off and a sandwich. Super farm shop too.

Really disappointed. Had to wait for a table which doesn't bother me as it's usually a sign that the place is popular/good. Had our two girls with us (4 and 6) and sat and watched a table of 4 finish their drinks and then just faff on their phones. Another couple at a table for two doing exactly the same. So I asked for the table for two which was free for the girls so that we could get them seated and their food ordered. One very expensive pancake and some beans on toast later, both other tables are still faffing on their phones. It would've taken little effort to ask either table if they planned on ordering more food/drinks, and if not, would they mind vacating the tables to let waiting (paying) customers to be seated. I'm sure the food would be great. For the price, I'd certainly hope so. Unfortunately, by the time we were ALL seated, the girls were almost finished and we'd lost our patience. So in summary; probably good food although pricey, but we lost our patience with the servers and their lack of abilty to turn tables around. You lost so much potential revenue from so many other potential paying customers walking out just in the time we were waiting. Just so that other people could occupy your tables and suck up your wifi.

An amazing range of exotic & eco-friendly produce, much of it locally sourced, and mixed with practical items that camping and self-catering holidaymakers need. It is really worth a browse, you won't come away empty handed!

Great coffee, cake and sausage rolls

Wow. Just, wow. We waited for a table only to be ignored by a member of staff standing two feet in front of us asking the white couple behind us if they’d like a table. On raising the fact that we’d like a table, we...

Came into little old ducks this morning for a spot of breakfast. One word; phenomenal. The staff were ever so friendly, nothing was too much bother and the place was bursting with laughter. The chef was out front making fresh sausage rolls right before our...

Ok farm shop & cafe serving some fresh pies, quiches and baked goods. Some outdoor seating in the car park on the road

Stopped off for a spot of lunch, would recommend the vegetarian ploughman’s lunch with a cup of tea. Very clean and the COVID system works well, food and service of the highest quality

We had two ploughmans lunches , very nice, lovely and fresh I had a pork pie with mine and hubby had a veggie option , nice fresh food

Shocking what a rip off , over priced and rude staff , limed parking for disabled and not dog friendly at all , wont recommend to anyone

We went for my wife's birthday breakfast . We have passed many times and have always been very busy, so we came early and was not disappointed. Service from the moment we entered was lovely ,greeted by two happy smiling faces from behind the counted , who told us to find a seat menu's where on the table and to order at the counter . We chose a big and little breakfast for me and my daughter and my wife got the eggs royale. All came out very fast and very tasty we wolfed the lot down . Amazing presentation and happy friendly customer service from start to finish . Will call again whenever we can . Keep up the great work guys .

Stopped off for Sunday brunch. Staff were polite. Granola and yogurt was nice, as was the coffee. Cooked breakfast large but a little too greasy. Good value for money

Very disappointed. Heard good things about Ducks farm, so on our way home from a lovely weekend of camping, we traveled 30 minutes out of our way to visit to have breakfast - only to find out on arrival that they don’t allow dogs! Very surprised as most farm shops are very accommodating and welcome dogs. This one was not. I asked the girl behind the counter, as I saw the shop was not dog friendly, if we could have breakfast in the cafe with our small dog. Her reply was a simple no. No customer service skills whatsoever.
