Farm Shop & Resturant in South Holland

We have been coming here for over 30 years on our way on holidays from Norfolk. We heard it is closing at the end of the year so we came in for one last breakfast. As usual, the staff were polite and friendly, the service was quick and the food hot and delicious. Excellent value -a good plate full for £7.50. I have no idea why there are so many negative reviews on here; I have NEVER had a bad experience. It’s closure is very sad and the end of an era.

Huge signs saying big breakfast etc etc. Get in there and all they will do is a bap with a sausage etc. 11 quid for a bap and a tea in a cardboard cup.... Won't be back, far better places on that stretch of the road....

Dreadful food with little or no choice in sandwiches. Staff not interested and toilet situation a joke. If I didn't know better it looks like is been taken over by the establishment over the road. My wife has been stopping here for over 50 years. Never again

The farm shop was ok in itself - a bit expensive but the main problem was the toilet policy - someone in my party has a toilet issue and has a medical exemption card which they had to present in order to use the toilet and this was mortifying for them to have to ask - man in farm shop was sympathetic but by rights one shouldn't have to ask to use the toilet. Cafe was expensive and rude staff.

We visited the cafe on our way to an activity centre with 103 students on one of the hottest days of the year. Very patient staff and excellent service so we also called in on the journey back. Very clean and efficient service dealing with so many hungry, hot and very thirsty children. We also received free staff ice creams for having such polite children which was much appreciated. Thank you.

The ‘reviews’ tab at the top doesn’t seem to be working so will post on here. I have been coming here regularly for around 35 years always for breakfast on my way on holiday. It has been through good times and bad times. Today was not so good. A young European lad was learning the ropes on the tills. That was fine, there was someone with him and everyone has to start somewhere. But when my food was brought out by a young European girl who I also guess was new she read out the ticket ‘small breakfast no beans’ I pointed out that there were beans on the plate so it wasn’t mine. She then read the ticket again and tried to give it to me. She clearly had a limited understanding of the language. My husband then returned from getting our cutlery and tried explaining again that it wasn’t what we ordered and repeated what I just said. She eventually took it away, only for a different person to bring exactly the same plate back! They also brought it with toast although I had ordered no extra bread and my husband had ordered bread and butter and not toast. We did get the right food eventually, and I have no objection to youngsters learning a job, but surely it makes sense to ensue they have a good grasp of the language? The food of course, as always, was EXCELLENT , it was hot and good value for money! On another positive note there is FINALLY a disabled toilet available! Woohoo! Up through the bar and towards the flower shop, in an empty part of the warehouse. Ramps have been put in for access. It is also nice that it’s accessed with a radar key so you don’t get all and sundry using it. A much needed recent improvement to make the cafe accessibly for all.

Absolutely atrocious customer service. Our rugby team stopped here on our way to Norfolk to grab a coffee, and a quick bite to eat…however, almost as soon as we walked in, we were challenged by an extremely confrontational lady who stated that we couldn’t go in, nor use the toilet as we hadn’t bought anything….we’d literally just walked in! I understand that they want to keep the toilets etc in a decent state for those who actually buy items, but to install a key code to use them, and to challenge us before we’d even had chance to buy anything, was simply awful- my rugby team by the way are U11s, so some of them found the lady’s attitude rather aggressive. Do yourself a favour, if you don’t want your day to be ruined by over-officious aggressive customer ‘service’ don’t stop here for any reason…..if however you enjoy being spoken AT and greeted with a growl rather than a hello, then this is the perfect place for you!

Its a transport cafe and, as such, is "fine" in terms of quality and price - and does benefit from some recent redecoration. Nothing salubrious, but thats not why you stop there

For some inexplicable reason this has been chosen as a coach trip "comfort" stop. Awful. A transport cafe with unpleasant car park , no shopping facility for sweets, newspapers etc

We arrived about 1pm on Monday 29th November, two coaches already there and two more arrived a few minutes after we did, there are not so many tables as there were before the Covid social distancing but we shared a table with another couple. Food was served quickly and were the usual generous portions. Although the two coaches that came in after us were full and contained over 100 people, they were not long being served and receiving their food. Toilets were clean. The code number for the toilets is a bit of a pain but understandable, we used to use the toilets before going to order food but now obviously have to order first. I have been using this cafe for in excess of 50 years and have seen it expand over the years. It is about mid point on our regular journey. I have no complaints and will continue to use it whenever we travel that way which is currently about twice a month.

From the decor to the food its hard to see a positive. Old School canteen service. Staff friendly the the till. Code for the toilet is quite welcoming.

This has always been our regular stop when passing however over the last few years we have seen it go down hill but our last visit this week was terrible the staff looked like they did not want to be there and the person collecting the plates looked like she had chewed a wasp the food and drink was horrible and very expensive however what i think is the worst do not enter bursting for the loo as you have to purchase something from the counter to get a code to enter them and if there are 10 people in front of you well i rest my case so we will never go there again and i must say we have found very nice tea rooms with open toilets within a mile so all i can say is beware

We always stop here on our way to and from Norfolk. We stopped here on our way to Great Yarmouth. Normally there is a great selection of hot meals to choose from but we noticed the menu has shrunk considerably. We ordered the Steak pie and chips and the Ham, egg and chips. My mum ordered a cup of tea with that. This came to £19.50 (I didn’t order a drink as I couldn’t find a non-carbonated soft drink other than bottled water) which we thought was quite pricey for what you got. The cup of tea came in a paper, take away cup. This place used to be great but now it seems to be after making more money from less quality produce. The toilet code issue is frustrating (although we totally understand why they have done it) and could be worked better.

Very dissapointed, piece of cake was upto £4.50 and £2.00 for a hot drink from a machine, the food is so over priced, drive on fdown a little to the next town or village, you will save money even with the extra fuel you use.

It was sad to see the elderly lady on our coach trip go to the counter and ask for the code for the toilet to be refused until she purchased something as she did say she would return she paid for tea and toast and asked for them not to get it ready until she returned only to find a lady walking round shouting toasted teacake before her return

My advice.. stay clear! We stopped on the way back from a beautiful holiday in Yorkshire for some lunch... but I'm so glad our visit went the way it did. Where do I start the awful decor and the smell of grease.. we can cope...

Have also been using this place for years, and despite a slow decline in food quality have kept loyal. However, this has now stopped. Like most people on a jouney the reason we stopped was to use the loo, freshen up, have some food and...

As a paying customer you are entitled to use the toilet, that’s all this company expects, put yourself in their shoes, would you allow this, it’s a business that’s why people fold an go under, so pay for food and don’t give people a hard time when trying to earn an honest living

Purchased drinks just to use the loo!!! My granddaughter 8yrs, who was coming to Norwich on her holidays wanted to choose her own fruit today from the farm shop. But when we got home to Norwich we were missing some items, although I had given...

Food was good although not good service as usual, waitressing service very moody & slow haven’t seen usual waiter with brunette hair & glasses always welcome my family and always polite hope to see her next time !!

After seeing many poor reviews of late I felt I had to give my take. We have been stopping here for breakfast on our way on holiday for 40-50 years. We stopped here as usual and were not disappointed. Many tables removed, to space out...

You only get use the toilets after you’ve made a purchase (the security code is on the receipt), so you seemingly can’t freshen up or wash your hands before placing an order. The cakes, pies and sandwiches had no prices on them so I wasn’t...

A nice mixture of farm shop and cafe. It is difficult to find places that are any good along main routes, but this place does very nicely. Staff cheerful and food good value.

Don't normally leave poor reviews because most places try their best but I must comment on this once pleasant place to break up a journey. It seems to me the prices have nearly doubled while the quality has halved. Had to wonder if they're trying...

We called in at this cafe as we usually do when going to Cromer. We hadn't been for a couple of years but we're shocked to find how poor it was It used to be quite nice but now it's more like a truck stop...

We always stop here for a break on our way to the coast. Always pleasant staff and a good range of food, Prices reasonable for a main road restaurant. The meals are a decent size. Clean and Covid safe. went to the shop also which had a huge range og summer garden plants. I wish I had more room in the car as they looked very fresh and healthy and a good price.

The food was quick and very tasty. But our visit was marred by the lady on the counter refusing to give my autistic grandson the code for the toilet he is only just learning to hold it she said I was being rude as she was serving someone else but I did apologise and say he was in a hurry she just kept saying it was on the receipt by the time I had ordered and paid I thought we would be to late but the very nice lady who had been in front of us had given my daughter the code already I understand they don’t want just anyone coming and using the toilets without buying but we were in the queue to order food surely a couple of minutes wouldn’t make a difference

Been stopping here for years and it always felt OK, edible food, decent portions.This year, possible the worst meal we’ve ever had and I’m not one to leave reviews unless I’ve had a really good experience, this might be the first time I’ve been compelled to whinge, but we’ve just been taken for £35 for a £20 meal at the most. Couldn’t even drink the cup of tea, as there was an odd unpleasant smell and it tasted like dirty water. Can’t think of another way to describe it. Bit like powdered tea. The ‘jumbo’ fish cakes were grey inside, I’m sure they were safe, (fingers crossed) we were starving so tried eating them. The bread I picked up smelled like tuna juice (I’m sure it wasn’t the fish cake), that’s when I gave up. The cakes looked nice so thought we’d grab some sweet treats for the journey home. But can’t work out what cost what by the receipt. What the hell did we pay £5 for? And was that rotten tea £3 a cup? The chips were absolutely fine. The Avocado and Courgette cake tasted ok, but dry on the edges, but by the time I got to that and the smell of my tea... I’d lost the will. Who knows, but after 40 years as child and woman I won’t be returning. If this had come to under £20, I wouldn’t be so appalled. But £35! We were at the table less than 10 mins. Give it a miss I’d say.

called in Tuesday am, not very busy, food was good although only takeout. The tray was good quality and coffee was good surprised they had no tables outside it would have been better rather that eating in the car as we used the cafe as a halfway stop, will soon be open as normal hopefully. Didn't visit the shop this time as it was too much hassle to go back into building once in the carx

Stopped here sunday on the way to Gorleston as we usually doPlenty of hand sanitizers even on your table, they have taken out some tables to abide with covid rules all staff wearing masks.The food was good as usual, i ordered the small breakfast, as you can see it wasn't that small, A keypad now let's you into the toilets, you get the code from your bill, the toilets were pristineWe will be back

To the reviewer below make your mind up the establishment either smells of urine OR it smells of disinfectant are you la lawere the peas hard or overcooked because if peas are overcooked they are soft they cant be bothwell not in my way of thinking anyway obviously you dont cook or cant we visited the same day faultless and immaculate excellent food and facilities what i would say is dont believe everything you read on here go try for yourself we did and were extremely happy,covid secure,clean 5 stars

So sad this once famous cafe now a shadow of its former selfNo atmosphere smelt of disinfectant sticky plastic table covers, if you like overcooked peas sloppy meat pie like dog food in flaky mush all for £8-50 cold coffee this is the place for youHam egg and chips no condiments on cold plates peas hardWe will not returnCode for toilets door entrance stained and a germ paradiseSmelled of stale urineYou need to sanitise upon leavingThe flowers in the vegetable shop all poor quality and appeared dyingFarm shop a waste of timeWe will never return as this site needs to close such a shame

We always stop here on our way to Lowestoft. Its been done up!! We do like it but we did like it before the refurb. It was quirky. Staff are nice and its lovely to have some good food that is plentiful and well cooked. The staff are masked and measures are in place. Prices are a little more but so is petrol on major roads. Looking forward to our next visit.

Family have always called here on our way to Norfolk. Always been part of the holiday but sadly no more. On pulling up in the car park we noticed that 90% of the customers not wearing face coverings just wondering around and not asked to cover. The place looked dirty. With the pandemic that we are all fighting we decided to go else where and will not be returning anytime soon.

Friendly welcome.I have visited twice and had a very good breakfast laid out well as covid-19 safe. Food comes out fast and brought to table

Just paid £7. For a rotten cauliflower brown cabbage and runner beans like rubber so dark can’t see wot your buying thinking fresh veg the potatoes cost £1 so £6 in the bin about rubbish

we always stop here. its a part of our family holiday. plenty of parking for cars.caravans. and lorries great food. great service lovely staff.

Stopped off for quick bite to eat for lunch. Paid for lunch and noticed that the man serving on the till had filthy hands. Tables and toilets also grubby. Left lunch on the table and moved on. This is not the time to dine anywhere which is not scrupulously clean!

Loads of choices and plenty of seating at this road stop eatery. It’s a place to go for quantity rather than quality and I’m a very fussy bear so wasn’t keen. My food was edible but I didn’t really enjoy it or the place. I used to go to the friendly farmer and thought I’d try this as an alternative now that’s closed, as it’s joined to a farm shop I assumed it would have similar food and the options resemble it but the quality doesn’t. The lady serving was very nice. All in all you might like it if you want a fry up, burger, sandwiches and are after cheap (ish) and cheerful and you want to pull in on the A17 without going off route. Having said that omelette and chips was nearly £8 but there were other cheaper options such as sausage or egg baps.

Wife has just visited the shop for fresh veg, came home very dissapointed. Prices have increased significantly since the last visit, the produce want the best it was not fresh. The previous visit was OK but will not be calling in again!

Stopped at tea time and had a couple of sandwiches, two scones and a coffee but felt at almost £13 we should have stopped for a couple of supermarket meal deals instead at half the cost.

Popped in here for breakfast - had a big bap full of bacon, sausage and egg. The place is clearly set up to accommodate coach loads of people arriving at once, all wanting a cooked breakfast of some type and it gives off an unfriendly / conveyor belt / school canteen vibe. As I lifted up my food a huge pool of liquid grease formed on the plate, and that told me all I needed to know. It was food, but it was lacking and care or love. I don't think I'll be back.

We visited here on return from kingslynn ordered two breakfasts and a sausage sandwich and a bit of carrot cake, coffee her was good with a nice strong flavour, breakfasts were served quickly but I found that it wasnt that hot I'm guessing everything is pre cooked with just the eggs done to order? It was all ok lots of mushrooms and beans taking up the plate but everything else was a average.The toilets here are poor had to take my 2 year old son into Male cubicles and the first one was destroyed and left in a appalling state, the second one had no toilet seat at all and the third I had to clean to allow my son to use itWould we return I'd say doubtful

The Farm cafe is a well known stopping place while travelling to/from Norfolk. There is a huge range of good value food and it's quick and convenient. Don't expect luxury or gourmet food, but it's always open and reliable. We always make a point to break our journeys here!

Three of us called here on the Sunday Morning having stayed in King's Lynn the previous evening. It wasn't our first visit here having experienced it about 15 years ago. Oh how sad we where to discover how it has changed. Back then everything was farm fresh but this time it didn't seem to be. We order 2 breakfasts (one large and one regular), one of the party was still hung-over from the night before and expected a hearty farmhouse breakfast just like we'd had previously. Whilst the meals were hearty enough, we got the impression they'd gone to commercialized and apart from the tomato the rest of the meal seemed supermarket bought. This was sad given that it sells itself as a Farm Café. It doesn't seem to have bother most as whilst we where there it got very busy and at least one coach party had arrived. Overall the breakfast was OK and reasonably priced but not what we'd hoped for.

Stopped here on route to the Thursford spectacular. This independent services is a hidden gem on the A17. Non of the over priced plastic fast food you associate with the word services can be found here. Here they sell honest good fare at reasonable rates on real plates. The café is run like a well oiled machine, the service is swift and efficiently and the food is good. We had a "Billy's Breakfast Bap' each, which consists of a large bap filled full of bacon sausage topped with an egg. Very filling, cooked fresh, what's not to like. We stop here every time we pass this way. There is also in way of a bonus a large farm and produce shop attached to this services.

Five of us (all family), visited here on our way to Derbyshire. The service was very friendly; however the food was dire. I had jacket potato with tuna. The tuna tasted like vinegar; the salad was old. The kids had chips, burgers. The chips although plentiful, some were cold, some hot, which suggested they had been put in a microwave. Tjey were served to us almost instantly after our order.They looked old/overcooked. I left 80 per cent of my lunch, the kids 50 per cent of theirs. We all agreed we could not go back there. The bill was £31. In contrast we had a similar lunch in Bakewell today which was £29, and it was absolutely outstanding.

Toilets here were disgusting, parking area was dirty and restaurant wasn’t welcoming. Lady who obviously worked in kitchen just sat outside smoking

Toilets are absolutely disgusting. Dirty and unclean. Water all over the floor. Nappy bin absolutely stank the whole toilet out.

Not a lot of choice on the A17 and have passed the Farm Shop & Restaurant dozens and dozens of times. We were in a motor home on this particular journey so stopping here was ideal as the car park is vast. Inside I don't think the place has changed much in decades. Huge hand written signs for food and drinks. It's a coach stop after all and will cater for 50 people at a time.

We have been coming to the farm cafe for many years and have always enjoyed It here . Remembering it well! It seems however that the owners have in fact forgotten a very important fact, that it is in a TRANSPORT cafe and not an upmarket fancy restaurant! £9.50 for gammon, egg and chips eaten off plastic table cloths and tables circa 1982?!! Artek ceilings and toilets that had so much bleach down the toilets, they made my eyes water! An M&S; packet sandwich costs £2.75. These are £3.50!! We shall be moving down the road next time to the ‘other’ transport cafe who clearly have not forgotten they are as such, having won the transport cafe of the year award 2018! Maybe the farm cafe needs to tottle along there and see how much their gammon, egg and chips are?!

The food is awful and expensive. The toilets stink. The fruit and veg shop sell old produce. Theres nothing good to be said about this place.

Went for the large breakfast for £8.50. I've had alot better else where. I was very disappointed. Presentation, quality of the produce and quantity were all a let down. Try somewhere else.

On our way up to Kenwood Park, we stopped to have lunch at The Farm shop and Restaurant. There were seven of us so needed two tables, my husband and I went to sit at a table for two. My husband being disabled was about to sit down when Janet, one of the waitresses took the time even though she was run off her feet to offer to get him a higher chair with arms so it would make it easier for him to get up. She then gave him a paper plate to fan himself because he was hot and not feeling very well, also she answered all our questions politely. In fact her customer service was phenomenal and everything was done with a smile. To be fair the staff who took our order were very understanding and patient, also polite and helpful, unlike one of the other female waitresses who found it too much trouble to help.

Ok so we gave this place another try as we’re needing the toilet and some breakfast on the way to Norwich. What a mistake it turned out to be again!! Sausages are worse than Tesco basics, very gristly and disgusting. Burnt beans, or just very stodgy We WON’T make the same mistake again - oh and the toilets, they still need checking more regularly, DIRTY toilet paper on the floor near the urinals is not a good look

I have lived in Norfolk for nearly 30 years and travel on the A17 many times a year but because it’s so close to home I have never seen a reason to stop here until on a coach holiday we stopped twice both ways and the outward bound trip was early morning but still ready for a bacon butty!

Terrible service, dirty, toilets look like they haven’t been cleaned in years! Food all microwaved and hot drinks watery. Not one person cared about complaints and customers were virtually ignored as they were too busy chatting between themselves! Awful place!

Mum wanted to give it one more chance because the place has so many memories from when dad was still with us ... but this will be the last time ....the girl in the fruit shop spoke so disrespectfully to mum ..this person has no respect for people or produce ...I was going to buy some fruit but watching her bruising everything with her heavy hand by throwing produce onto the displays was off putting to say the very least . Mum was upset as we left because this is where my dad would bring mum for lunch and they would spend a good few hours reminiscing and purchasing plants , old fashioned sweets , fresh produce etc . We’re very sad to say that that was the last time ! Mum would wants to remember it how it was ...not how it is now

Like most people I suppose it was a coffee stop on the way to Norfolk. The drinks and cakes / toasted teacake were good. Slight gripe it's difficult to find a price for anything and it does turn out to be top end.

Stopped on way back from a week away and had the minty lamb pie special was really impressed lots of meat in it and good melt in mouth pastry.

Stopped here for drinks on the way to Norfolk. Drinks were very good value and they have a good selection of herbal, fruit and green teas which I like. We noticed that meals and snacks were a bit more expensive than we would have expected and the cakes didn't look too appetising. Prices were confusing too, there is no clear menu, just prices here and there, could do with having a proper ordered menu.

my close friends that drive from Grimsby to get their plants every year persuaded me to come with them on Friday . We arrived Friday dinnertime , the beautiful displays that used to be in plant shop are no longer in there , there were no outdoor displays either , the plants that they do have are now in the fruit and vegetable shop …...may I add not watered and uncared for . What a waste of a journey !!! The women that was serving in the fruit shop was disinterested and very rude to us , she knew absolutely nothing about the plants , maybe instead of standing there doing nothing with a surly look on her face , she should water the plants , my friend asked a simple question , only to be snapped at by this thing that works in there !!!! There were other customers in there who were quite clearly disgusted with her rude behaviour , we all stood outside chatting with the other visitors about this person that works in there , all the while she was looking at us like dirt . I think it was the owner that walked in while we were chatting outside , her attitude changed and she was all smiles . This is for anyone whose thinking about going there to buy plants ….DONT bother there all dead !!!!

For a "transport café" - and I don't mean to be detrimental by using this phrase - the Farm Shop is very good. Good service, good food and reasonable prices. Always worth calling in when passing

On our way back from Liverpool so came in for a cup of tea and cake.Spotlessly clean lovely cup of tea.There is a very varied menu good food, we went into the farm shop where we both some home made pickled onions and and some jams and also bought some fruit and veg which were lovely and fresh will defiantly call again on the way home.

The end of era ..... the plant shop girls have gone ..why??? The best part of stopping off here was the atmosphere in the plant shop , over the years they’ve brightened many a dismal day , I’ve popped in + was told by a young lad “they’ve gone + good riddance” very disrespectfully.. the place will never be the same a again ..

Bullying is rife enough said ... when one of the daughters took over the reigns , I thought good good about time , because I have been going there for 35+ years , and it needed it ....but my god why when given a chance ...why let it go to your head .....please please just do good wholesome well priced food + remember above all that staff moral + how they get treated is upmost in any business

Food is basic with a large range of reasonably priced menu consisting mainly of fried options, sandwiches, and a good choice of cling filmed cakes with no prices (a brownie turned out to be £2.40 and a little stale). Ok for a coach stop on the way to Norfolk as service is pretty efficient but woudnt choose to eat here otherwise as there is negligible use of veg and the food tastes far from homemade.

When we arrived there were 10 coaches already there and a long queue for food. The staff quickly and efficiently dealt with the queue and the wait was quite short. There is a wide range of fresh foods which are prepared quickly. It is what it is - an efficient and fast

Stopped here on my way to Norwich from Leeds. There was lots of choices but all were with chips or fried foods. No healthy options. I had a bacon bap but it was more bread than filling and had cheap butter on and deep fried bacon. Would never stop here again!!

we bean hear quite a few times over the years good large car and coach park dissabled loo very clean food you get quite a big plate full coockt while you wait so it come very nice and hot great menu a large choice to choose from great staff plenty room to move at the tables right side of the road so easey to find

Been a few times and as the title says it is. Tons of parking and a farm shop as well. The staff are always happy to help you as well

as a roadside cafe this place couldnt be faulted, food served quickly and at cheap prices, very large cafe so plenty of places to sit and ample parking outside.

Stopped here for a comfort stop to and from our holiday in the Lakes. Remember coming several years ago and enjoying a hot drink and a slice of delicious fruit tart. Was pleased to revisit this week and have a wander. Excellent choice of tempting goodies in the shop and purchased one or two. Lemon curd delicious. Enjoyed a nice cappuccino in the restaurant which at the time was almost empty (3pm on a thursday). Unable to comment on the food as didn't have anything to eat but the menu looked good and the prices reasonable.

Firstly let me say the place is clean and tidy...will give top marks for that

Stopped hear for breakfast very poor standard of food come out quick but was like everything had been sat there for a week and is not cheap which I wouldn’t mind if the food was good will not be retuning

I would of given a higher rating because the food was lovely as was the atmosphere.......until i witnessed the verbal abuse towards a female member of staff by what I assume was the ‘manageress’ although I use that term loosely ..it took my appetite away . There are laws against such treatment . Don’t let one bad apple ruin the whole bag .

Food was awful, the service was awful, the decor old and dirty, and the toilets filthy. Plant shop had plenty of out of date products

We stopped with our two kids expecting high quality ingredients from a farm shop. Very disappointed to be served low quality highly processed burgers and sausages. Disappointed and won’t be going back.

On a coach trip home from Wells next the Sea to Nottingham. A planned stop of 20 minutes to use the facilities and grab a quick refreshment. Clean but dated facilities. Plenty of seating and appeared to be a good number of staff if several coaches arrived at once.

we came back hear for a change it is always clean good hot food a large car park and you can take coaches there plenty parking spaces quite a good menu to choose from they do take away as well plenty seats and tables disabled loos a good size shop

Awful. Nothing else to say. Proper Trucker Cafe. Oldest furniture, greasiest plates etc that I’ve ever seen and as for the decor....you’re having a laugh!

wouldnt stop again though it has a nice farm shop and plenty of parking. This is on the eastbound track of A17

My husband and I have been calling here for years on our way to Norfolk. The place has never changed, the food is brought to your table promptly and is fresh and plentiful,good quality we have never been disappointed

Terrible breakfast lukewarm very greasey, brunt toast, very expensive paid £11.50 for 9 items complete joke, total rip off, never go there again.

My daughter and I stopped here yesterday on our way home to Norfolk.

well out and about with one of my two support workers had look round Holbeach and then time for dinner bean a while since we bean to this great place large menu to choose from and quite big so can get a great deal of people seated they come some times by the coach load it as good size car park on the side of a main road staff very good food great and good price

Stopped here on the way to and back from a holiday in Norfolk as we always do. Had the Steak Pie on the way to Norfolk. Very nice although we did notice the portions have got smaller. Had the Cheese Burger and Chips on the way back which was delicious. New Staff we’re very friendly. Will stop here again.

Long old business drive and I stopped here for a cracking chicken chips peas gravy and mug of tea. All in 7-90 and proper cooking. Way better than fast food places. Don’t be fooled by the trip back to the eighties this place is great and I got to watch bargain hunt on tv in a no rush friendly place! Bought a sack of spuds on the way out. Top pit stop . Thanks v much. Mach.

Good value food. Handy location on the A17. interior a wee bit twee with farmstyle cottage furniture, plastic tablecloths and artificial flowers but above all its nice and clean. Plenty of choice on the menu, all very reasonably priced with burgers and hotdogs only £1. Lots of cakes to choose from - savoury or sweet scones too. We had bacon baps which were good although why places put butter on i just don’t know! Food came out quickly and was freshly made. The other plates coming out looked great- steak pie, ham egg and chips, you name it it looked very appetising. The service was friendly and efficient enough but without finesse. In fact we joked we were playing bingo as the order numbers were called out whilst they were brought to the table.

Finally some decent food to offer!

It's not the Ritz, but it has damn fine cherry pie. It's got its own thing going on. Clean, friendly and convenient. You can't knock it as it is what it is. I will definitely stop here whenever I'm passing. There is a huge opportunity for location managers wanting an American style, road movie type vibe. Love it.

Stopped off here on way to Norwich. Had a full breakfast and really wished I hadn't. Being a farm shop I expected half decent ingredients, oh how wrong could I be!

I have been calling here 40+ years but will now check for other places. Hubby got a cheese burger and I got a tuna mayo sandwich. He took a few bites and gave the dog the rest and it turned its nose up. My sandwich...

We always stop here on our way home, we love to visit the cafe which serves great hot & cold food as well as snacks and of course drinks. Service is always good and reasonably priced. We then go to the farm shop next door...
