Elm Kitchen Cafe in Woking

Coffee shop very pleasant food and staff nice. One point need to check open before visiting we arrived 3.10pm supposed to close 3.30pm but shut we drive a long way so not so happy shame

Lovely place - cafe, little farm shop, and nursery all worth a visit.

This continues to be a lovely, family run nursery. A great place to get bird food, plants and advice. Very friendly and helpful staff. The grandchildren have also enjoyed visiting the farm area and cafe.

We hired Elm Nursery for the afternoon to host our two year olds' birthday party. She (and we) had the perfect time! It's such a great place for kids that age, very doable in two hours, and not expensive. Hiring it was very easy - great communication and a lovely space that was ours. Would definitely recommend for party hire in future!

We had a birthday party for our 4 year old at Elm nursery, they loved it. Stroked some alpacas, fed the guinea pigs and chickens, then played, danced, and did some crafts in the nice covered party area. A great and equally affordable alternative to the usual 'village hall' kids parties.

Had a lovely birthday for my 4 year old in August. We did our own catering and decorations. This really kept the cost down and much cheaper than some party venues. The kids also loved time with the animals afterwards

This is a lovely place to bring children .

Lovely little petting farm . Granddaughters love it

A cute little farm for small children with a great sandy area. The price is good as well . All the other big ones charge extortionate prices for families .

We have celebrated our son's 4th birthday at the Elm Nursery which we regularly visit on the weekends. This is an amazing set up for any weather/season having closed weather proof space as well as shaded private space outdoors. In addition to amazing well taken care of animals which children adore and can feed, there is also playground, WC and a cafe if you are short of drinks or snacks for the party. Easy to arrange, welcoming and supportive team. Our son and his friends said this was their best party ever! Thanks to Elm Nursery!

Love it here, perfect for the smaller children! Did only take 30 mins to go round the farm but the play area is perfect for them, great for them socialising too! Lovely cafe! Good seating, covered too for the hotter days! Good amount of parking round the back if it's busy! Nice farm shop too! Highly recommend this place! Staff are fantastic and can't help you enough! I love coming here! The farm is so cheap too! £5 per person - child and adult! And £1 for food - guinea pig or chicken! - and the chicken food has dried meal worms - perfect for adventurous kids - and those who don't like the thought of touching it it's good for them too because they'll get abit braver with it too 🙃 Come to elm farm! Summer holidays are perfect excuse! Also, they do themed events, Halloween, Xmas etc, I loved their Xmas display! Extra fun!

Need more attention towards cleanliness

We love Elm Nursery! The areas where kids can play outside is great. Feeding the guinea pigs and chickens is our favourite thing! The coffee is nice quality and the Toasties are delicious. It's one of the only places that doesn't rip you off....kids under 2 are free and it's £5 entry for me. We could stay there for hours. Such an easy, chilled place.

Had a great day out with my 7 month old baby.

Small, family run nursery where the lack of variety is made up with a friendly service.

We used to love this little farm. But on our recent visit find a lot of the toys are broken (bike s, cars missing doors, toys very old) animals - mainly just ducks and chickens. With the price increase we really don’t think the experience is worthy anymore.

This farm is our happy place and we became regular visitors since last summer. My son really loves it here and is so excited to see all animals or to go and play with toys … we can feed animals anytime and see them closer! There is beautiful family atmosphere and staff are extremely friendly and helpful . As soon as you walk in there is lovely lady at the reception Sophie who is amazing and really sweet ! You can also find lovely gift shop where is very helpful and very friendly lady Donna ! Also they sell fresh eggs from the farm. Absolutely love it and will suggest to all of you ! Prices are good and also lots of parking ! Only one thing we would like to add is more outside toys -or more slides :)

Amazing place, they really love their animals there, staff are wonderful, plants are really nice. Cafe has great food. Great place to go all year round.

Elm farm is such a lovely place to take the children. Staff and warm and friendly. Their provide lovely activities, such as during Easter and Christmas. The cafe provide warm meals and refreshments, with lovely sitting area both inside and out. The shop provides lovely flowers, and plants with a variety of lovely gift ideas.

For the kids in the animal zoo bit brilliant well worth a visit

Lovely farm, great place for little ones and the cafe is nice too.

Excellent place for younger children plenty of animals. The best small cafe in the area cater all ages.

Had a lovely trip the staff we very friendly and our 3 year old loved feeding the guinea-pigs and chickens. You could also stroke the animals that come up to you so she got to stroke goats and pony's. The Lammas and alpacas were too busy eating the grass to come for a stroke 😀. As others say it's not huge but there is still lots to see. There is also a small play area and sandpit Will definitely be going back and would recommend it to anyone else.

Love each visit here with my little Granddaughter ❤️

Lovely little shop and friendly staff!

We had an amazing time, super friendly staff, a cafe that was so welcoming for children. Definitely would recommend.

A few small animals ( Guinea Pigs, Rabbits, Pigs, goats, Llamas ? Shetland Ponies, Donkey, chickens, geese & ghosts

Great place for little ones and good value

We loved Elm Nursery! It's not big but that works in its favour. Our little one loved playing in the play area, feeding the guinea pigs and chickens and looking at the animals. We had a lovely lunch and we will definitely be returning!

Small children's farm which is reasonably priced, a small Nursery and a cafe and farm shop.

Great place to spend the morning. I took 5 little ones and they all loved it.

Great place to take little children.

A lovely little farm with lots to see. One star deducted for the terrible food. Always take a packed lunch!

Shop was a bit sparce of food Range quite lacking

Charming family run children's farm. Small but a nice venue for a short trip. Be aware that chickens roam free and are enthusiastic about the food that can be bought for them - be aware that they will jump up and grab bags from smaller children!

Avoid at all costs, a truly awful local business. I asked to use the children's play area for ten minutes as it was raining and I wanted some shelter, there were no adults or children anywhere on the site, it was deserted. I was told by one of the owners that I had to pay £8 to do so and " it was the law"? A rather depressing interpretation of how COVID legislation should be adhered to by small businesses considering the site was empty and my son and I needed to get out of the rain. No discretion, no attempt at explanation, no sympathy towards a dad with his toddler simply wanting to escape the weather for ten minutes, it was as if our presence there was completely resented, which in actual fact is a common occurrence there nowadays. ( The price rise there now is £4 per adult and £4 per over 2 year old, and when you factor in buying bags of animal feed etc it is definitely no longer a value for money excursion/activity). I said as a family we had been regularly visiting for nearly three years, children's birthdays, farm shop, regularly bringing family, guests etc but the owner wasn't interested in the slightest and incredibly raised her voice towards me, a completely disgusting attitude towards customers. I did email that evening to ask for an explanation but never received any response whatsoever which just speaks volumes and so placed this review to warn as many people as possible of what to expect. I would have been more than happy to receive an apology or some form of explanation as to where this behaviour came from but nothing? We are a local family and word of mouth actually counts in an area such as this. Probably the most unpleasant treatment by staff/owners of any business I have encountered for a longtime especially considering that we have just come out of a year of on off Lockdowns and you would imagine that keeping returning customers happy or actually being polite would be a priority but not here sadly. (Mine is not the only incredibly negative experience that day shared to me from another visitor to the farm I might add, the theme is normally being shouted at or having arms waved furiously towards any customer driving onto the site at 1mph over the 5mph limit). We wont ever be returning or recommending this place as a result of this experience and shame on them for how they behaved and for refusing to even acknowledge the email sent to them. If you experience anything similar then please ensure you place a review.

This is a great place to bring my small children for a few hours to spend some time seeing the animals and for me to grab some plants/flowers and bits from the farm shop. Online booking system is easy to use. I always find the staff friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. It is wonderful to see fruit fresh and the colour it should be, unlike some of the large supermarkets! The cafe has lovely food and drinks and has a fab theme to it that the kids love. Milkshakes are amazing! The kiddies birthday party area is well decorated & gets the thumbs up from my little ones. They’re now asking for their next one to be there! At Christmas time they have a large selection of trees as well as a grotto and lovely Christmas inflatables, sleigh etc. In summary this was a great little find during lockdown last year when the supermarkets had queues around the car parks. A refreshing change.

So ein netter Ort! Unsere Tochter liebt es die Hühner zu füttern. Der kleine Shop daneben ist auch toll. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder.

As a working nanny for many children I have been going to Elm nursery for years. Each year they get better and better and staff are super friendly. Loads for children to do and plenty for the adults ... Cakes coffees and a massive selection of plants and expertise to help you in your garden. It's clean and very well maintained, and can make a full morning or afternoon of it. Def 10 out of 10 ⭐

Fabulous place to take your children to support a family run local business . We have been many times and bought from the farm shop and the plant nursery as well as visiting the farm and cafe. A very reasonably priced outing for a family 👪

Thank you Elm Nursery for my beautiful pots again this year, you really have done a beautiful job again. I also popped into the shop and grabbed some of those delicious tomatoes, can’t get enough of them 😋. The farm is looking lovely at the moment and really lovely to see everyone out enjoying themselves 🌞

Elm Nursery is a hidden gem and so much more than it's beautiful home grown plants. The farm with all it's wonderful animals, the farm shop with many goodies to tempt you and the cafe make it well worth a visit. The family that own it are so welcoming. Our Guinea Pigs were bred at Elm and my son even named his after Emma, one of the lovely owners, he was so taken with her. He has special needs and she was so patient and caring with him while he got to know his new pet. We were allowed to visit them until they were old enough to take home. A lovely touch. Thoroughly recommend.

Very temperamental owners running this business. Genuinely surprised with the last few incidents. Sadly we won't be returning.

Great dropped off my pets and they were treated amazing they got time one the grass and we're played with (geunia pigs)

The little cafe is delightful. Run by a lovely couple. Great bacon baps.

Lovely place, really nice for kids to be able to walk around running free chicks and ducks. Thank you.

It's alrite. Few animals and a play area for kids. Cafe did a decent bite and a top milkshake! Nursery was great, shop was ok. Staff solid throughout - friendly and well mannered. Will definitely visit again for a few hours out with the kid.

A friendly, helpful team. What more could want? Gooseberries, when they are due I say :)

Nice café, lots of plants for sale. Small farm shop. Interesting animal section. It's a small and informal place which I like.

My boys love going to Elm nursery to see their animals as well buy their fresh duck eggs. The staff are always friendly and helpful.

Possibly my daughter's favourite place, we visit as much as we can

Lovely place, great for the kids, and very good cafe!

Great place for small children. We bought a great Christmas tree

Great shop , full of great veg and products but overcharged by 4: 50. Pay attention as their maths isn’t great! Problem quickly resolved within a couple of weeks so I have changed my review from a one star to a four star.

Re visited The Elm Cafe today after they replied to my previous review. Had a warm welcome from Holly who rememebered when we were there. Holly appologised about my recent visit and the not so good bacon sandwich. David cooked my son and I a lovely bacon sandwich today which gets an 8/10 from us. Holly and David thank you so much for our sandwiches today. AND We will be back to visit again xx

Lovely environment to have a snack and a drink. The coffee here is outstanding, and the friendly staff adds up to a great visit.

Best children's farm around. I would highly reccomend to any family wanting a affordable day out. The animals are clearly well looked after and are happy. An added bonus is that the animals are tame and friendly with kids. Cant wait to visit again!

It's a nice place to go to kill a bit of time in the afternoon kids love it and very reasonably priced.

Very modestly sized Garden Centre, and Farm Shop. With a play area and sandpit for younger children. But there are two other excellent reasons for you to visit. Firstly the on site Café usually does great food like fried breakfasts, etc at a reasonable price. Secondly, for an entrance fee of £3.00 per person, you can visit the farm animals. Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Chickens, Ducks, Geese, Goats, Pigs, Alpacas, Shetland Ponies and a Donkey. The kids will love it.

Fab place. Kids had great time.

Visited today, lovely place and the owners were so friendly. Great take away cornish pasty and my two year old loved her lunch box. Good value and great food

Cafe /shop/farm Fantastic friendly family run business

Stopped by today for a bacon sandwich. Advertised as the best of their facebook page.To say i was disappointed is an understatment Very expensive at £4.00.2 slices of bread and 1 slice of bacon. see photo below

I visited the farm there today than when to the cafe for a coffee what a lovely place was told that it was under new management a young couple who have put a lot of effort in to it give it a western cowboy look the kids loved it the food was lovely all fresh nice coffee milkshakes look lovely was told the they are going to do more on there menu has time goes on well worth a visit

Another lovely morning at Elm nursery - good outside play area and great little farm. My 2 year old loves it and nice and enclosed so feel safe to sit and watch her play. Will be taking a pack lunch next time:)

Fab place to go with the littlies

Lovely place for the little kids, the cafe people were really bubbly and lovely for our needs.

Back in March it Was the other half’s birthday and I promised him full English at Elm farm! We’ve been there before and met the new owner Kate it was lovely. Then the dreaded Covid hit and no birthday breakfast was possible. We shall be returning very soon. The food was scrummy the service charming and it was super clean.

Booking for animals at moment. Had great time with kids

Cute animals! Alpacas stole my heart, but other farm animals were nice as well 😊. Plus super tasty eggs which you can buy from shop at the farm.

They look after our pet rabbits when we travel abroad. They are a nice bunch here definitely recommend them for boarding.

Obviously off season but still a pleasant visit - the indoor play area was really grubby (I know it's a farm but might be good to wipe down the tables and chairs). Lovely cafe!!

Lovely little petting farm. Cafe.

Great coffee and walnut cake today.

Very friendly staff with good food in a pleasant setting. Great for kids with the animals outside and a nice picnic area for when the weather improves.

have been here several times, and the food has been delicious every time, from homemade soups, paninis and brunch of avocado smash on toast to coffee and cake. There is a choice of non dairy milk too and vegetarian/vegan options. Shame it closes at 3pm.

I come here with my cycling mates and we are always well looked after. Veggie/Vegan options keeps the whole group happy. Staff are always freindly and helpful even when clearly under pressure.

We used to meet at Elm Kitchen most weekends - lovely location, amazing service, great home made cakes & food and a really welcoming, warm atmosphere. However, we visited a couple of weeks after the new owners took over and we had such awful service that we didn't go back (cold coffee, dirty tables, unwelcoming service). This afternoon we decided to give it another go but sadly it was even worse! We didn't even get a smile and hello when we walked in to an empty cafe. We were served coffee reluctantly and felt very awkward and unwanted; I guessed there had been a busy lunchtime service and the staff just wanted to close up and go home! There were no cakes to go with the coffee and we were not offered to order anything from the kitchen. The cafe smelt of cleaning fluid; we visited at 14.30 on Sunday afternoon so I'm guessing again the staff were closing down but no excuse for poor (if not rude) service. I would never normally give such a negative review as I feel that it's down to everyone to make up their own minds and what suits one may not suit another but I'm so disappointed a business can be so complacent that they don't even extend a little politeness. I'm sure Elm Farm Cafe will regain it's former glory at some point but sadly we won't be returning.

A lovely family run place. My little one loved seeing the animals. The cafe was small so there was a bit of a wait for the table but the food was worthwhile. The lady making coffee was getting a little stressed!

Variety of farm animals, opportunity to feed the chickens and guinea pigs, great for children with play areas, lovely farm shop and cafe

Such a lovely place to introduce little ones to a variety of farm animals, it has a great Tea house serving tasty home cooked food at a very reasonable price ,and a farm shop and nursery.Well worth more than one visit we have been several times and will go again.

Love visiting this place with grandson, he loves pets corner and feeding the animals. It's got a great play area for the little ones and a cafe. Good parking. Love the farm shop 😍😍😍👍👍👍

Dropped in to visit the garden Center and animal park and decided to stay for lunch. The new owner Kate is lovely! Really chatty and very helpful with local information. We had lovely homemade soup and paninis which were all freshly made and really tasty. The place is really comfy with corner benches and funky decor. Will definitely be coming back and recommend the soups and cakes.

Great children's farm and very friendly staff.

Great cafe excellent coffee and food. Facilities for baby changing and very friendly staff. Lovely children’s farm with mainly rescue animals.

We used to love going to Elm Kitchen and the farm and tried it for lunch recently under the new owners. They seem very nice but the coffee was lukewarm, menu not very interesting (a few paninis, brunch only served until 11.30). Coleslaw had too many onions in it. The kids menu also doesn't have much on offer and the kids sandwich was thrown in a bowl. My panini was also not warm enough with the cheese not melted properly. very off putting (and unhygienic) was that the owners dog runs around the cafe and tries to get your attention and owner strokes the dog in between serving food.Didn't try the cakes - didn't look appetising.Needs a lot of improvement.

Lovely but the cafe is quiet expensive

Great Christmas trees again this year.

Friendly, caring and well managed family run business. They take a genuine interest in the well being of the animals and have been so very good and kind for taking in and looking after our guinea pig after her companion passed away.

Great place for the kids, the cafe was always lovely but recently taken over by someone else, haven't managed to get back to try it yet, hope the breakfast is just as good.

We went to the Christmas fayre. Lots of stalls some expensive, the tombola prizes were fantastic. Parking could have been organised better. Children as always loved the farm area.

They just keep expanding the children's activities here - fabulous. Thank you for providing such a lovely area for our kids to visit, play and learn in.

Good little farm for looking at farm animals, and it's cheap to enter. With a cafe.

Elm kitchen is in a league of their own... independent, family run business Jacqui and Georgia and the team have created a wonderful oasis in Sutton Green!They only serve home made food to the freshest and highest standards on beautiful plates with a warm welcoming smile!Their home made sausage rolls and scotch eggs and multiple varied cakes have kept my boys (and me!!) going through school and uni!There’s something fresh and exciting every day to enjoy whatever time of day you visit! And they make a mean double macchiato too... delicious coffee every time !!!Their outside catering is always innovative and tasty and exceptionally good value!We will miss you all but wish you every happiness and success in whatever venture you decide upon...keep in touch!☕️

Lovely place to take young ones to walk around and see their animals for a very reasonable fee. Café is lovely too!

Great little farm for small children

The kids love elm nursery for the "farm" and play. I love it for the great plant choice and friendly staff. The independent cafe on site is marvellous. A good way to spend a morning (or afternoon!)

Really lovely family place to spend an hour or so. My little one loved all the chickens running around. Also my dad got his hanging baskets from there and they look so beautiful, so much better than any garden centre.

Have driven past this place do many times and never been in. However I was prompted to today as I had discovered that there was a little farm and a nice coffee shop.My 20 month old granddaughter adored the farm but we needed some refreshment so we went to the cafe and enjoyed an amazing sausage roll, a slice of cake, a gingerbread bunny and a mineral water. The whole morning cost me around a tenner. Absolute bargain

It real lovely farm for children to go and see the animals
