Farm And Table in Cherwell

Good to go for a brunch or coffee but not for main meals

Fantastic fresh local ingredients. Really enjoyed the atmosphere!

Possibly the best full English I’ve had , incredible sausage and black pudding . The Sourdough was brilliant too . Great farm shop next as well. Staff very friendly and chilled . Well worth a visit .

A mixed bag. We'd heard about Farm & Table locally and wanted to support a local business. A full English, eggs benedict, coke and coffee came to just shy of £40. Which was frankly ridiculous. The menu has a no substitutes policy, which seems reasonable for a small business but an extra slice of bacon was £3? For one slice? The portion size of a breakfast for £15 was tiny, also. Hubby had shell in his eggs and a skin to the house beans. Eggs benedict was ok, but lacked flavour. Waitress was lovely and sweet though and the setting and decor nice. It's just too expensive for what it is and we sadly won't be back.

We went on a busy sunny Sunday morning for brunch. My three friends and I were waiting for another friend to join with her baby and considering how busy it was, they did what they could to get a large table for us downstairs and help with the buggy. Service was quick for how busy it was, food was delicious and I’d say fairly priced for the quality. Couldn’t fault the food and drinks. The farm shop strawberries looked and smelt incredible and a lot of the fruit and veg were some of the largest I’d ever seen. Would highly recommend and definitely return :)

Had a lovely lunch here. Starters were generous and everything we had was delicious. Regret not having Sunday lunch as it looked incredible, but we'll be back!

Great brunch. Super breakfast eggs rouale especialy

Came for Saturday tapas & cocktails: Amazing friendly service from two young gentlemen - attentive but not pushy - great cocktails, wine and the food was really delicious and reasonably priced considering quality/portions! Wonderful cosy atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back :)

Delicious food, Had the beef roast dinner. The meat was tender, crispy roast potatoes and the Yorkshire pudding was amazing. Only thing id say, is only a small amount of cauliflower in the cauliflower cheese (ordered as a side dish) but it was still very tasty!

Having visited Farm and Table a few times, the food quality is always excellent and consistent. We are always found a place to sit even though it's constantly busy during breakfast and lunch time. Staff are always lovely and coffee is delicious.

Excellent breakfast. A touch pricey but this is an upmarket eatery and the ingredients top notch so worth the bit extra

Such a lovely place to have breakfast and the food was amazing

Visited this place for a Saturday brunch. Really enjoyed the food - had a veggie full English and brownie. Brownie was delicious. Ambience is lovely.

Ridiculously expensive for 1 x mug of tea with a teabag in it, and 1 x tiny slice of sourdough toast - cut in half to make it look like two slices - with marmalade.

Fantastic place for either a snack or full lunch. I held a private party for 40 people there and it was simply fantastic in all areas, the staff went the extra mile to accommodate all our needs.

First visit just for coffee and cake. Lovely. But lost a star for only 1 toilet and it's a big place. As a man of a certain age you need more toilets.

Update: We had our first lunch here today. The RUBEN sandwich was absolutely the best thing I’ve eaten in the UK so far. Honestly I’m gonna be craving this sandwich. We also had the chicken caesar salad which was delicious. We drive from Birmingham just to eat here. That says a lot about the quality of the food and staff, I admit I’m hard to please. We will be back……….Our second visit for breakfast. Excellent again. We look forward to trying lunch soon.

Sunday roast dinner was ok, did enjoy after 21h fasting but I was expecting more meat on the plates. On the other side mushroom soup was good but the best part of meal was a slice of sourdough bread and butter.

Perfect breakfast, Really fast service even on a busy Saturday morning

I called and asked if they had space for 2 for Sunday lunch if we come now, on the phone they said yes that's not a problem. I confirmed that I'll be coming now, and again they said they have a table. Arrive 15 minutes later and told there is no table. What a waste of time. Next time, just say you don't have space and we won't come.

Updated response to owner: I understand that you wish to cover for your employees, but turning this around on your customers and stating we were rude and disrespectful to your staff is despicable. I would be more than happy, and even request, for you to post & share the CCTV recording of the event on your socials, but I can guarantee you would be too ashamed to do so. In fact, please do send it to me so I can share our experience online. My takeaway coffee cup from Starbucks was empty and I brought it in to throw it in the bin before having lunch with my family. Maybe I am in the wrong for that, too. Your staff member was incredibly hostile to myself and my wife for absolutely no reason at all and did not inform us that you were closing in half an hour and couldn’t have lunch. Although I’m very pleased we didn’t. Original post: We live locally in Middleton Cheney and I took the afternoon off work to take my wife and our baby out for some lunch. We were told about Farm & Table by some friends of ours and we were looking forward to having a nice meal here. However, we didn’t even get as far as sitting down. We were greeted by one of the most obnoxious members of staff I’ve ever met. We’ll never know if the food was any good as we turned around and walk straight out and will never return. Farm & Table, I would think carefully about your hiring as bad word spreads faster than good.

Very friendly staff. Nice place for a coffee or to eat.

Very nice cosy place. Great food

Have been here twice now: once for the brunch service and once for the evening tapas service. Both times the food was incredible and the service was great thanks to very attentive and friendly staff.

My first time here and it won't be my last, as the food is excellent. On Friday and Saturday nights the menu is tapas based, with a good selection and generous portions. The plates come out as they get cooked, so you don't feel overwhelmed at once, and we probably over ordered, but we did finish almost everything. Staff were also very good, efficient and attentive.

Great food. I was unlucky to be late for full english, but everything is delicious int here, so no regrets. Shop is well stocked as well. Good quality meat, and pre made meals.

Food: We had breakfasts (full one and super one), overall the quality of the food was good and on the larger side of portion sizing, coffee was average. The only gripe was a rather long hair in mine. I natually made them aware, I did finish the rest, so we agree'd on a % off for some compensation. They claimed it was thier supplier, I shall leave it with them, obviously I can't do much more than acknowledge my experience. Service: We were greeted and served as expected, no problems there. Atmosphere (decor, etc): Obviously has that farm feel with the use of brick, wood, etc, which is nice. Atmosphere (Staff): Somebody wasn't happy today, as an elevanted voice (sounded a French) kept making an appearance in the air, with very critical tones. The kitchen is open to the tables so the sound travels well.....use your loaf a little (pun intended) with such an arragement. We all have off days, and maybe today was one for someone, but personally i've learnt to do it in private where applicable.

An off day for the Eggs Benedict, sadly - eggs over, muffin under, sauce cold. Also staff need to get on top of customers watching videos on phones without headphones, whether it’s Mums with kids or grown-ups as in this case…it’s irritating.

I was disappointed with the menu. Set in a lovely Located on a farm with extensive farm shop there I was only one dish that had vegetables which was mushrooms and avocado. No vegetable were a side dish or included in any of the other meals available. So I ended up with a (chicken burger) that had salsa and 2 limp leaves of lettuce, encased in a brioche bun. I didn’t eat the brioche or the lettuce I ate the chicken fillets dipped in the salsa. The fries, unfortunately overcooked for skinny fries I ate the edible ones. We shared an avocado side dish which was heavily sprinkled with salt!, maybe some lime juice and some chilli flakes would have made it more edible. This experience could have been so much better and maybe some more consideration taken for vegetarians, and lower carb preferences.

The fish stew I had today was absolutely delicious. I would recommend it to everybody

Good brunch, fairly priced we thought. Worth a detour/visit.

A brilliant place to have breakfast and shop your groceries. I would recommend looking at the cheese counter and buying some delicious cheese.

Excellent place for breakfast and to buy natural farm food.

While on holiday we were after a nice breakfast place, well we sure found one! Amazing coffee, delicious food and great service. Highly recommend.

If you want top notch tapas / steak in a classy barn conversion, Farm and Table does not dissapoint. The food is absolutely delicious and the cocktails are pretty damn good also.

Well priced, quality fresh food. Very friendly, helpful staff made for a happy, relaxing visit My first visit. Will be back, for sure !

We came for the Friday night tapas and cocktails. Great food and friendly staff. Will definitely be returning.

Went with two friends for lunch. Food, service and atmosphere all great. We all had Caesar salad. One of my friends dislikes garlic, we told the waiter and the chef made her a special, and delicious lemon(?curd) dressing of her own. We were all impressed and will return again soon. It is a good place to meet friends, parking is easy and there is a very good farm shop alongside.

Strange manager. Asked for a takeaway cup outside not allowed. Ordered the last two crossaints (everything else sold out) then it was sold to someone else so only had one. Bought a pastry from shop (this is permissable) but was then interrogated as to where it came from as the manager doesn't like outside food. I would say if the manager, who was obviously observing us had an issue perhaps they should come out themselves instead of hiding behind the 16yo waitress who was obviously embarrassed and nervous to ask us. Also I would say the manager should perhaps focus their time on getting stock levels right rather than trying to catch people out. Oh and finally it's all overpriced. Won't be back.

Went here for breakfast whilst on holiday. When we arrived, we stood around for a few minutes with multiple members of staff ignoring us. The guy making the coffees acknowledged us with a somewhat friendly remark, and we got a table. (I will say, the coffee guy was absolutely run off his feet and seemed stressed). We sat at our table, and after 10 mins, a couple sat at the table next to us. After a further 5 mins, a staff member started taking the other tables' orders. We said something about having been there longer and another staff member served us. We waited 20/25 mins for our food, which was fine, but by the time food came out, we hadn't had our hot drinks, we asked about this, and they arrived 5 minutes later. We noticed several tables dissatisfaction at the wait times for ordering. One table made a bit of a fuss, and one male staff member asked a young female member of staff to take there order, we heard her say "oh, these people, I will try to be polite", very unprofessional and what an attitude when you work in a cafe!! The food was ok as we're the drinks. We wouldn't return due to the attitude of most staff. As I said above, the place was fairly busy, and staff certainly weren't standing around doing nothing but........the staff are quite young and probably need managing. Some of the attitudes were really poor. It was also pretty expensive for what it was.

Really great brunch place. The farm shop also deserves a visit, as it has quite a large selection of produce.

Great service and lovely little farm shop but had the trio Sunday road and wasn't impressed at all very small portions for price meat was cut wafer thin, potatoes looked amazing but were actually soggy. Given a tiny amount of gravey on the plate could have done with some extra. The vegetables were really nice but the meat was very disappointing and flavourless. Would definitely return to the farm shop but not for Sunday roast

This is a delightful eatery in a nice location. The food was very tasty. We had the lamb and trio mix roast dinner followed by some delicious icecream. The portion size for the roast was good, although I would have liked more than one carrot. The servers were friendly and efficient. Dogs are welcome and can be treated to doggy ice cream. The only thing I would say needs improving is the upkeep of bits whilst service is going on I.e the cleaning of the toilet (I could only find the one shared toilet) and the replenishing of the free ice water dispenser outside. This isn’t a cheap eatery however, the food is well worth the money so I would recommend here for a nice treat.

Food was really nice, and we appreciated that you would serve a half portion to an adult with a small appetite. Service by very young people pleasant. Music in restaurant far too loud. Loo a bit basic. Nice, though. Will come again.

If you had heard, what was said as I walked past the kitchen you would never step foot in this place again. Food was overpriced and ok. But it seems they treat there staff very badly. I hope who ever was on the receiving end of those remarks has the curridge to speak out against such toxic culture and behaviours. Harassment is illegal.

Best way to have a good time and food 🥘

We had booked for Sunday Brunch, following a friend's recommendation. What a treat! The place was full but we were seated quickly, and ordered coffees, and breakfasts , as we had looked at the menu online prior to our visit! Full English was delicious - we highly recommend! Coffees were really good. We also really loved the Super Breakfast, with salmon, avocado, spinach and eggs. The artwork gives plenty to look at, staff were super-friendly, and we will definitely be back, when we are next in the area. April '24

Lovely breakfast. Beware Service charge added to bill.

Had a great evening with old friends. The food was really good with a causal atmosphere. Staff were attentive and helpful in ordering the right amount of tapas for the group size. Perfect for a relaxed meal and drink, will definitely be back.

Lovely cafe with delicious food

It was our first time in Farm and Table, the atmosphere and place itself is very sweet. We ordered an asparagus dish and a Ploughman board, and they were both nice. The service needs improving, our drinks didn't come until we asked for it after food arrived. Everytime we needed to get staff attention, we had to wait, I personally preferred to go to them in the end. I asked for an extra slice of bread(1 slice of cold sourdough cut in half and a cold butter on top) they charged us £2.50 for it!? I believe that was a little excessive. I saw another review written 3 month ago about charging £2.50 for an extra slice of breed, I guess they didn't take the feedback seriously. The restaurant is dog friendly, and there is a balcony section indoors where dogs are not allowed, which is a good separation.

Genuinely one of the best meals I've had in years, and I've been to a lot of brilliant London and international restaurants in that time. Just very fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked.

Well worthy of a visit. The asparagus festival was amazing. Food was excellent although service was slow due to high demand. All nice and friendly. Dogs welcomed. Great farm shop

Lovely breakfast , can get busy. We arrived at opening time. Lovely farm shop too.

Lovely place just outside of Banbury to have brunch. All of the food is locally sourced within a 30 mile radius.

A very nice discovery! Food is delicious and authentic, and staff really friendly, will come back for more!

I recently dined at Farm and Table and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! The food was absolutely incredible, every dish was prepared to perfection and full of flavour. The ingredients were fresh and locally sourced, which made the meal taste even more delicious. The service was top-notch, the staff were friendly and attentive, making sure that we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also fantastic, it was cozy, intimate and rustic, which made it the perfect spot for a romantic dinner. I especially enjoyed the farm-to-table concept, it was great to know that the ingredients were all fresh and locally sourced. I highly recommend Farm and Table to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner or a casual meal with friends, this restaurant has something for everyone. The food is absolutely amazing, the service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. I can't wait to go back!

We visited today for a late breakfast, and unfortunately didn’t enjoy the experience despite the food being really nice. I do understand it was busy, however we ordered coffees with our breakfast and had finished our breakfast, still not having received any coffees. The waitress did say there was a backlog making coffees, we waited maybe 15 minutes or more for our food. I’ve never experienced that before and maybe they need to review how they manage the front of house. I personally didn’t appreciate allowing dogs, I had one dog jump up at me whilst eating from another customer. It’s a small restaurant and can get noisy, adding dogs to this is not a great experience. As a suggestion, on the coffee front why not consider having filter coffee on the go for quickness. We only ordered black Americanos, this could have be very quick with a filter coffee option. Farm and Table used to be one of our favourite places to visit for breakfast or lunch, but I’m not sure I’d be returning anytime soon. I’m happy you’re busy and successfully, as the food is amazing, but seem to have outgrown the premises and need more front of house staff. (I also feel I might have been mis-charged or a 10% service charge was added, pretty poor if it was the latter given the coffee situation)

The restaurant looks so beautiful. Very much my style (barn conversion with beautiful interiors). The staff were so lovely and the food delicious. Already going to be bringing my friends and hoping to visit plenty more times.

Had a lovely time here- me and my partner stopped on the middle of our hike and the waiters were lovely and food was really really good! Drinks were also of a high standard - I liked the coffee! I’d recommend :)

Delicious food all day, I have so many favourites. Good wine and drinks selection. The tapas menu is amazing. Staff are wonderful, friendly and professional. Warm and welcoming atmosphere - for dogs as well.

The atmosphere is great and the quality of the food is good too. Is just a shame that there’s no children menu.

Superb Mother's day lunch 😋 thank you all

Gave me one slice of toast with my scrambled egg on toast. When I asked for another they tried to charge me £2.50. I won’t be buying brunch here again.

The staff are so nice and friendly, food is great (potentially the best full English) and relaxing venue. Thank you

Tea is served in a mug, just a tea bag in boiling water. Please think doing pots of tea it is so much nicer. Lady serving was pleasant but seemed distracted and had no time for pleasantries.

We arrived for brunch slightly late only to discover they were transitioning from breakfast to lunch service. Fortunately, their lunch and specials menu proved to be just as attractive. The staff was very welcoming and accommodating to our needs, especially to our very energetic dog. The whole experience was delightful, and we enjoyed a delicious seafood risotto and a savory mushroom on toast with poached eggs.

The building is lovely and there is plenty of space between tables. The food was well presented and tasty. The only criticism is that a service charge is added but not disclosed in advance. There is also a tips jar by the cash register. Personally I don't believe service charges should be added, but if you do this then it should be made obvious prior to orders been taken or by the cashier when you go to pay. The receipt was presented after payment.

Fantastic as always. High quality food and brilliant staff.

I am a regular at this venue and have never been disappointed. The food is superb, lovely interior and friendly service. My only small criticism is that last weeks Sunday breakfast service was too slow at the peak time we came in. We are patient people but there were obviously under-staffed and it does get noticed. But that should not detract from an overall good experience and we shall certainly remain regulars.

Amazing - the place has a really nice vibe to it and the service was great. Possibly one of the best chicken burgers I've ever had! Definitely recommend if you around Banbury

First visit for breakfast and we were not disappointed. A lovely welcome and the food was fantastic, made all the better by the great service of Libby who looked after us all very well. How lovely that this business has such friendly and diligent staff, we will be back and recommending to frends that haven't visited yet.

Lovely barn converted into the perfect place to have brunch. Connecting to an amazing farm shop.

Great food and relaxing atmosphere

cozy farm place to have breakfast 🍳

Food is good however I realised I had been overcharged on my order and when I queried it I was told that’s because of the service charge. There is no mention of any service charge on the menu and I was only eating with one friend (who was also charged more than menu prices) If you want to charge extra you should be transparent about it rather than adding fees on and hoping customers don’t notice. Very underhand way of running things. It wouldn’t have been so bad had the service been outstanding. My friend was served and finished her breakfast before mine came out. A glass was smashed on the floor beside us and not cleared properly. Not an issue for me but I had to get up and warn a couple who had come in with their dog in case the dog stepped in the shards of glass.

Adults food delicious, kids meals are waaay to large, and overpriced.

Came last week for a Sunday roast and was blown away. Absolutely delicious roast dinner. Everyone enjoyed their meal and there probably about 15 of us. Thanks to chef for dealing with our difficultness with some of the group arriving late yet still delivering outstanding food. Very good size as well. Service was just as good as the food and the place was really nice to be in and a cool location too. Price worked out at about £30 per person which isnt that bad considering there were a lot of drinks involved and most of us had a 3 course meal. Cheaper options were available but we splashed out a bit as we’re celebrating 3 people’s birthdays. I would even travel 30 miles to eat there its so good - definitely the best in Banbury and probably a lot of Oxfordshire/Northamptonshire. Thank you guys for the amazing meal and service and hope to return.

Rude staff. Overpriced and unaccomadating. Would love to support local, but not when the insist on ripping off their customers and are rude. Totally unacceptable behaviour from the management, rude and aggressive. Been three times in total. Tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, but had an awful experience everytime. Wouldn't recommend to anyone. Won't be returning.

A good breakfast in a vibrant barn.

We were a party of 13. As a family we can be quite difficult, as we always want extras! 😂 We were very, very pleased with the service. The food was absolutely delicious, I recommend the pork belly. The Yorkshire were massive, and the carrots were cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was so nice. Best roast dinner I've ever had out. All in all, a ten out of ten from us! Definitely reccommend to anyone.

We always receive fantastic service..and the food is always beautiful and tasty..the staff are so helpful and friendly

Came for tapas night and everything we had was delicious! Loved the live band!

Great food. Slightly slow service but worth waiting.

Great service, excellent food and really friendly atmosphere.

Love this place. Food is always fresh, local and superbly cooked and presented. The team are all very friendly and nothing too much trouble

Very impressed with every aspect of this place! The building itself is airy and tall with art hung on all walls. Small decorations add to the artistic feel. I had the Grey Mullet with Gnocchi, a special for the day which was incredible. Every ingredient felt like quality and was cooked perfectly. The gnocchi was soft and the peppers it was cooked in seasoned perfectly. The fish itself flaked apart and was succulent! Overall I'm so impressed, we stumbled upon this place by accident but we'll definitely be back!

Quite possibly the freshest and tastiest breakfast I've ever had. Plus the farm shop is excellent - big range of veg and meat at affordable prices

I'm no expert, but I'd say this is one of the best places to go for weekend lunch in the Banbury area. Check the specials before you order. I had a Thai curry and it was superb. Also great for ice cream, if that's your bag.

Great space. Nice staff. Exceedingly good food and coffee! But, let your customers swap an item on the cooked breakfast if they don’t like something please :-)

Fantastic food and amazing cocktails. The basil daiquiri is a must. It has to be the best restaurant in banbury for breakfast, lunch and dinner by a country mile!

Don't really want to give 5 because it tells everyone else how great it is!

Our first time, really recommend, but I really dislike the way. Restaurants are currently adding service charge to your bill without a asking first. Please don’t do this.

We went there for breakfast and each of us ordered different things from the breakfast menu. I ordered the Egg Royale. The salmon was very tasty and salmon, egg and avocado on top of the toast made a great combination. However the next time I go there, I'm ordering the full English breakfast because I got jealous of my friends. I tasted the bacon and it was so good. Everything was very fresh, from farm to table. There is also a vegetarian option available. I also ordered orange juice, I was a bit disappointed because I thought it would come freshly squeezed but it was still far better than other store bought ones. They also have a shop for you to buy things from veggies to meat. Obviously they are a bit pricey because they are from the farm, but if you prefer organic I recommend you to visit the shop.

By far the best breakfast I have ever had! Amazing service, staff genuinely seem happy to be there, dining area is well decorated, the atmosphere is very pleasant, plenty of parking, good stop for bikers (be courteous and keep noise down) Could not recommend a better place for breakfast!

Went this morning for a nice breakfast, and boy they did not disappoint. By far the best full English I have ever had!

Great place for a cocktails and tapas evening. The food is delicious, authentic tapas style and flavors. The service was very attentive all night and accommodating for dietary requirements (gluten free).

Hidden gem. I came across this great place when I googled the best place for breakfast in Banbury and it was on the list. Its a lovely working farm with a deli as well(a bit expensive though. The deli) The restaurant/cafe has outside space in the courtyard as well

We love this place!! Everything artesanal and delicious. We go from London to have brunch at this farm. The service, the best!😋😋😃😃

The food was so so good and the service spot on. Got to be one of the top spots in and around Banbury 👌🏻
