Lovely cafe which we stumbled across. Very clean and tidy place. Ideal for kids as a brilliant children's menu. Adults food menu means I will be revisiting to try more things! Ample free parking and play area nearby.

Not a great experience. Booked a table for 3, food and drink is overpriced for what you get, took a long time for our order to arrive (which was only sausage roll and chips) the chips were luke warm. Sat under the covered terrace area and there was someone nearby smoking - there needs to be signs up in this area stating no smoking, I went and told the staff who did go and politely tell the individual but then 20 minutes or so later when the individual (female)was walking our table by they came up and verbally abused me! Asking why I didn't speak directly to them instead of speaking to the staff - she was extremely rude to me. I don't think I will return to this venue again and probably wouldn't recommend it either however having said all this the cakes looked lovely - in hindsight we probably should have just had coffee and cake and sat inside as this hopefully would have been a better experience!

The food took a long time to arrive from the kitchen but well worth the wait. The portion sizes were generous and very tasty (although not entirely convinced that the pork and apple burger needed cinnamon) Attention to cleaning is needed, lots of cobwebs especially above head height and behind exit signs and on lighting cables above the counter

Service was attentive and food although it took a long time was tasty. We were offered another round of drinks because of the wait. It was ashame that I’d booked the restaurant and was put in the cafe area. There was also a wait whilst the table was cleared. The main issue was the amount of flies in the cafe area. They were everywhere and spoilt the atmosphere.

We were disappointed actually. Had booked, and lunch in restaurant. The service was great, but the food and wait not so much. Also it was very noisy - large echoey space that did not lend itself to peaceful dining. My sister had the salmon, which was lovely piece but sat on a huge bowl of noodles, which was most of the dish, therefore expensive at £15 plus. Would have been so much nicer if other things had been included vegetables etc mixed in. Seemed dull. I had Caesar salad and they accommodated a half portion for me which I appreciated, but Caesar salad should not have cherry tomatoes in it, and the chicken was very dry. So no. Will not be back. Sorry.

I am a delivery driver for Lievito Bakery and have delivered here many times. I said to my wife we must go there it looks fabulous. We were not disappointed. We were welcomed and seated, given our menus and drinks orders taken. My wife chose the Avo on sourdough and I chose the Burger. The food was the best we’ve had in a long while it was fabulous, well done chef. The service and the whole experience was brilliant. There was a Wedding at the same time and the grounds were manicured. A great experience and highly recommended.

We went to the Greek evening however very disappointed by an empty restaurant and no Greek theme at all! It was just like sitting in a cafe and thought it was a proper Greek evening. As for the food it was ok but very overpriced and have had better. I have been here many times and it seems to have gone downhill over the last year! Shame! 😢

We checked out the menu a couple weeks ago and it looked amazing. We arrived this weekend and unfortunately the menu has been reduced and is a lot more basic than we expected, we were a bit disappointed! The food was mostly pretty good with the exception of a pork burger that was still raw in the middle. The staff were apologetic and took it back to the kitchen to be cooked again. In all, staff were friendly and helpful but we weren't impressed with the food, probably won't be back anytime soon.

Visited for lunch. Menu is crazy. You can’t get a simple meal. Everything is complex- nothing for those who need something straightforward, except a burger. This place gives the impression of being green and ethical but I think not. The decor was interesting. You can book a central booth if you pay up front - it’s festooned in flowers but they’re plastic! One of our party ordered a dish which was advertised as dairy free but came loaded with cheese. They replaced the fish but it took ages and he ended up eating after we’d finished. No reduction to the bill. I really didn’t like this place. Mainly because the staff weren’t friendly, there was nothing on the menu I would choose and it purports to be green/ethical but this lacks substance. Won’t be returning.

Great food and service. However have rated down as we were able to book a table for the restaurant for 2pm earlier in the week and when we arrived were told the kitchen was now closing at 2pm so we could only eat from the deli not the main menu. We actually were seated at 1.50. When I queried this I was told the manager was updating the website. Surely our booking could have been accommodated if done before the website was changed. Alternatively, it would have been polite for someone to call and pre-warn us rather than assume we would be happy with a deli snack. We had travelled here specifically for a meal.

I never complain and I have never left a negative review but I feel as if I have to. Farm and field has gone downhill over the past year or so. Used to be a really nice atmosphere and great veggie options. Now they always seem to have run out of veggie stuff and we feel unwelcome and an afterthought. We just went for breakfast and had booked in advance for a birthday meal. We had to book outside as the inside was apparently fully booked, which is fine in itself, but the whole time we were there the inside was completely empty. We asked twice of we could move but we're told we couldn't. Just after ordering we were suddenly surrounded with around 80 wedding guests crammed in the undercover outside area, which again is OK in itself, but all the guests were standing around our table and being so loud that we couldn't hear the staff when they were trying to talk to us or each other. We asked again if we could move inside to one of the many empty tables so we weren't crashing the wedding party but they refused. All the guests were looking at us as if we shouldn't have been there and to be honest, we shouldn't have been. Especially when there were plenty of other tables which were empty for our entire visit. We have been regular customers over the past couple of years but will not be coming here again if we are going to be crashing a wedding.

Our party of 5 waited 20 minutes before the waitress came over to take our order! Then 45 minutes for it to arrive. The menu said you could order breakfast Mon-Frid. A lady ordered it one and a half hours before the cut off time and was told the menu time was wrong so she couldn't order it. She is a small eater and that was the only thing that came in small portions. We had booked the table well in advance and it was a Friday. Poor service.

A really lovely cafe, and a great place to stop for a post-Parkrun drink and bit of cake. There was a good selection of both drinks and cakes, and the hot food menu look good too. The only downside was that it felt expensive - we had 3 coffees, 3 milkshakes and 4 bits of cake and a bill of over £40. That is the way of things at the moment, though, and you are getting quality for the cost in a beautiful location so worth it as a treat.

The food was absolutely delicious so I've already recommended you to friends and contacts. The service was however not really up to standard. The staff were warm and friendly but ....... we weren't informed we needed to order at the bar when we were given our menus, we waited 45 mins for our food to come out with no updates as to where it was and why it was taking so long; and despite various members of staff passing our table during our wait we weren't even offered a glass of water, which was rather disappointing. That said the food and atmosphere was so great that I shall be returning and recommending you to friends who aren't on a tight timeframe.

My family and I visited the Farm and enjoyed a lovely visit- looking at the lake and well tended gardens. Sadly the Farm Cafe spoilt our experience and I regret to say we will probably not return again. We were kept waiting for 40 minutes with two children for our food to arrive - being the only people in the cafe I was not impressed? The pasties were served cold and the chips were like eating warm cardboard? The mimi pancakes were obviously warmed direct from the freezer in a microwave oven. The texture was awful? My wife had the chicken salad - she enjoyed her meal. The staff were in my opinion very slow and disorganised - I speak with catering experience. I truly regret having to leave such a review but things need to be greatly improved. Jim Pike

Hi there - we love your place and always want to visit whenever we have visitors, of fancy food and a stroll - your food is wonderful and the outside environment and walks are beautiful....unfortunately, this time, the service was a little challenged! We were initially told that they couldn't take orders yet as the chef is inundated - and the waitress went off to find out the situation...this seemed a little odd as we had booked a table and it was only 12.30. Another waitress came and said the same...we asked her how long - and she then left to find out, like the first one did! After a little wait one of them returned and said it would be about 20mins...which is a perfectly reasonable wait and really didn't need all that fuss - which unsettled the older member of our party. One of them then returned to take our order, and unfortunately there were things unavailable - which it would have been helpful to know upon arrival - as, again, this creates disappointment which could have been easily avoided with simple communication at the start. We then discovered they'd run out of eggs - which, again seems a little odd at 12.30 with a table booking...had we just turned up out of the blue and been squeezed in, some of these things would be more understandable - but not with a booking - and so early on a peak day. It's such a shame as all of these things could have been greatly eased with good communication and people skills - which were, I'm afraid thoroughly lacking. The young waitresses seemed quite out of their depth over these, pretty foundational things - though the omission to mention menu changes at the start, wasn't theirs. The food - as always - was beautiful (although pea shoots missing - so, again - simple communication or a note on the menu that garnish etc will be seasonal/varied with availability). Compliments to the chef. I strongly recommend these things are addressed as I have witnessed things like this spreading like wildfire amongst certain demographics of the area - which you do not need - and I, personally, want to support anyone using local produce, ethical sourcing and quality wholefoods - which I feel you do...I mean you're the first place I've been to, other than festivals, who offer Dirtea! Amazing! Your space, ethos and food are wonderful - bring some magic to the atmosphere and the service and you will have nailed it. (sigh....i should probably mention, too, that all of us, independently, felt that the menu is hard to read....some styling would help). All this said - I'm not going anywhere - I'm rooting for you to thrive. Very best wishes Lydia

It seems you have to book a few days in advance to be able to eat here, after failing multiple times because they are unable to accommodate walk-ins even though half the tables are empty. That said the food is excellent and there are regular updates to the menu.

Very disappointed with the lack of customer service. Arrived and were told there were no tables available, so booked online where there was plenty of availability. Then when we signed in with our reservation we were told we could not have any hot food, even though the kitchen closed at 2pm and it was 1.45pm at this point. Not the first time we’ve had bad customer service here but I’ve given the staff the benefit of the doubt the past few time but unless things change radically with staffing or training the staff on good hospitality we won’t be returning. I’m not the only one in my friendship who has had this experience either.

I asked if she meant 50 people but no it was only 15. Looking into kitchen while ordering coffee and staff stood around waiting. Warning they never like people just walking in and asking to be served, pre-book is a must.

It was our wedding anniversary and we thought we would start the day by having a very special breakfast. On arrival despite many staff wondering around it took over ten minutes for our order to be taken, then a further forty minutes for our meal to arrive. Even though they had only been open 90 minutes, and the restaurant was not busy, I was told they had run out of beans so my fried breakfast contained an extra egg as compensation to add to the existing two on the plate, all of which were very small in size. The bacon consisted of one strip of over cooked streaky and the hash brown was of the frozen variety. The sausage was good though. My wife's pancakes arrived cold, rubbery in texture and tough to eat. They were topped with halved strawberries with the hulls still left on. Despite the excess of staff, not one approached us to ask if we were satisfied with our meal. On mentioning that I wasn't satisfied I was offered an apology by the girl on the till, but no compensation. We left very disappointed and needless to say we will spread the word, will not be returning.

Booking must be essential...Looked lovely, turned up on a very quiet Sunday morning and the place looked very empty, there was only 2 of us so thought they might be able to 'squeeze us in' with lots of tables visibly empty and no queue of traffic upon entering we thought we had a good chance. To our disappointment we were turned away and not even offered one of the outside tables. Not sure why our business wasn't good enough for this place! Other reviews didn't sound too good either so hopefully we didn't miss out 🤷♀️

Place was lovely, staff were ok, not over friendly, slow but ok. Food was not good, even after having to wait over 30 mins for it to arrive. My daughter had the mini pancakes with chocolate sauce, they were very burnt on the bottom to the point that you couldn’t cut through them. Even trying to scrap the top layer off the burnt bottom wasn’t great as it tasted horrible and burnt. Had heard great things of your place but unfortunately we didn’t have a very good experience.

I visited Farm and Field Cafe in July last year and was so impressed by the quality of the food, I couldn’t wait to take my other half there. I ordered the same thing as I did last time as I loved it so much. But unfortunately, it was the complete opposite to my previous experience. I have attached photos from my first visit in July 2023 (first image) and from my visit today, February 2024 (second image) and the difference is disappointing to say the least. The food took 45 minutes to arrive and when it did, it was cold. My chicken was grisly, had veins throughout (see images attached) and the pancakes were dry. I was so put off by what I found in the chicken, I barely ate anything. Was given 10% off which was about £3 and told the chef wouldn’t have been able to tell if there were lots of veins in the chicken and would only know once it was cut into. We will not be returning as the service, presentation and more importantly the quality of the food does not justify the price points.

Staff are rude and don’t listen to customers, after ordering our drinks we waited 20minutes, for them to then say they were out of the milk we asked for. When we asked to wait on one drink to change the milk order (due to being in the bathroom), the girl started walking away before we were done speaking. Then they just brought out a drink with the milk we didn’t order - Staff member clearly didn’t listen or care. Asked for refund as was family member couldn’t drink it or any milk alternatives. When doing this, the staff member was patronising and used a rude tone when I was trying to explain. Also took a while for us to get milk to add to our tea - I had to go up and ask for it. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.

Great place to visit for great food, great coffee, and beautiful decor. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. The food was spot on, well presented and tasted great. Ended up popping back in 2 days later for a coffee and sausage rolls to take away. Will be visiting again soon!

Beautiful cafe. Food is presented nicely and staff are always friendly. Sometimes hit and miss on portion sizes which can be difficult for the price. It’s a nice experience though and I’ll keep returning

Lovely area. Very clean and tidy. Not many tables occupied. Attententive staff. Out came the coffee ...excellent Where was the sausage roll and fries?. After 30 minutes an enquiry said the kitchen was dealing with it. Everyone else seemed to just have drinks and the occasional cake. 10 minutes later it arrived, tasted good if a little meagre on the fries. No apology. So no going back.

The cafe is very spaced out giving it a slightly odd atmosphere and it was a little on the cool side. The menu was not very inspiring compared to other venues nearby and the food was just ok . Prices were on the high side for what you got. I don't think I would go again.

We booked a table for two at this local farm cafe for lunch on January 3rd, and highlighted a Garlic intolerance. Both the booking and the food intolerance was recognised when we arrived. The place was not busy, the majority of tables were unoccupied, and there seemed to be sufficient staff. Sat at a table, we were given the wrong menu. This was replaced when we queried if the Christmas Eve menu was still applicable. When we tried to order, several items on the menu were not available. This should have been pointed out when we were given the menu, not when ordering. We subsequently ordered Eggs Benedict, Dirty Pancakes and hot drinks. The drinks arrived within 5 minutes of ordering. We then had a 45 min wait, as a result of which our drinks were finished well before the food arrived. We asked when the food would arrive, having noted that a table that had arrived after us had already received their food. We were told that the delay was due to the garlic intolerance, and the need to ensure there was no cross-contamination from earlier meals that had been prepared. This seemed unlikely to us, as (a) we go out for meals fairly frequently, without similar delays, and (b) most places would simply use a different pan to prepare differentiated meals. We were then offered complimentary drinks, which we refused. When the dishes arrived, their presentation was OK, but both orders seemed to have been sat for a while, as: Eggs Benedict - the brioche bun was dried and hard to cut, the eggs and ham were lukewarm. Dirty Pancakes - the "light and airy" pancakes weren't. The chicken was dried out and chewy, and accompanied by very little maple syrup. A big disappointment. We won't be returning. Not recommended.

Kitchen closed before we got there, but the cookies are delicious. If you want to dine in you will need to book ahead. Great for an afternoon coffee in a picturesque and cosy setting

The food was... Ok. Not great, but not terrible either. Quite expensive for a southern fried chicken bap and so we're the fries. The building is quite large and echoes a lot making quiet conversation difficult.
