Farmshop in Stroud

Lots of lovely food, but expensive and was very busy.

We were turned away from the restaurant with our small dog and baby at 8.30pm at night after a huge all day drive after Christmas. Needed to make one last stop. For a place that says they welcome dogs, they don't, you can only go to the foyer. My dog met 10 other dogs in the minutes we were there, but apparently our custom is not wanted. We will never go here again.

Of your passing worth a stop really nice products bit prisy but food is really good

Want KFC crowds and clatter? Then this place is probably not for you. A peaceful oasis and sanctuary from the M5. Well worth its top spot on the Motorway Services Billboard chart.

Not your usual motorway services. Fresh produce quality gifts and pleasant helpful staff. Definitely worth visiting on the M5 north or south.

Friendly staff,great coffee,very clean, warm and welcoming. Lovely atmosphere.great selection. Lemon drizzle cake was excellent.

I love this place and whilst i understand its a service station, the prices are a little bit spiteful..didnt stop me buying though

Interesting place but not cheap.

Love this service station, however we decided to have breakfast this time . Wouldn't do it again everything had been under the lights too long . Definitely not worth the price.

Greek salad and iced tea heaven...

Expensive, but lovely food. Soup for lunch was very nice 🙂

Gorgeous food, so much choice, definitely recommend the macaroons

A nice little services. A decent cup of coffee and some fine food to eat, The farm shop looked terrific, but the prices looked terrific too! I would buy their produce for a special occasion, or if I came into a lot of money!

Great place to stop, good food, good shop very clean

Nice place to stop worth trying.

By far the best service station we have stopped at. I wish I passed it more often now. Well worth the money.

Lovely stop off Gorgeous homegrown food cooked and plenty of spacious seats with a pleasant pond to look over at whilst eating Fabulous farm shop too Definitely Worth a stop

Always a pleasure to stop here on the M5, have breakfast and do some shopping!

Lots of great ideas for gifts and beautiful fresh bread. The sausage rolls are fabulous

Fantastic range of great produce

Very busy but food is amazing so worth the stop if you don't mind the crowds.

Unnecessarily stressful experience. Victim of own success. Queues for absolutely everything.

Gloucester Farmshop is always excellent, from food options to merchandise everything is excellent value and of a high quality. The service is excellent and great free parking

It's just a really good service area !

Lovely idea for motorway services. The farm shop is very nice. Used to be really good food... but now nit so much! They can do with some gluten free options 👍

What a delight to find this as a service station. Decided to drive back 40 mins today to get some meat supplies & cheeses & pies . So happy to see this so close to warwickshire

Great example of how motorway services can/should be. The Farm Shop is incredibly well stocked and represents very high quality. You do pay a premium for the high standards though.

Excellent location with activities for the whole family. Fresh hot food available different menus for every choice

Good place to stop, especially if you have a pet as they have an area for walking dogs & little quiet places to sit & admire the view. Or you can just relax with a drink & bite to eat

What a great selection of foods. Not stupidly expensive. Steak has been the best I've ever had. Great stop. Shame petrol is 30p/l more expensive

Stopped off here this morning on journey home & am now trying to plan journeys so we can visit again 🥰 fabulous place - great concept, food, staff & shop.

Horrendously busy had a wee and left

Gloucester motorway service station is the best in the UK in everyway my humble opinion please let's have more similar it's a great example!

Great range of local products. So much better than normal service stations.

Very well run, good decor,clean.

Wonderful shop with a huge range of fresh and delicious food. Could spend a fortune in there

On our way down to Devon we stopped for a break and to get some food. Usually everything is 5 star. Got to the till to pay and noticed the strawberries was not looking good. The lady said to take some from another box. The second person at the till said they have had a lot of complaints about the strawberries. Why didn't anyone take them away. How many people got home to find the bad state of them and had to throw expensive strawberries in the bin

Stopped here on the way back from holiday to pick up some veg. 2.80 for a cauliflower which was no better than Asda. Checked the broccoli this morning all yellow bits on it. Off to marks then

Like many travellers we were not there for long but it is one of the larger farm shops. We just got sandwiches but there was much for the souvenir hunter etc.

Nice clean environment, good quality food, have had food at the cafe twice and both times it's been great. Polite and friendly, helpful staff. Much more spacious and relaxed than other services recommended.

Lovely products. Unfortunately much too expensive for me.

First visit. Absolutely fabulous. Very clean. Staff so friendly and courteous. Will be back.

We cannot understand all these recessions. You are completely ripped off here! Everything is way too expensive and when I look at the plates of food... everything looks soggy and overcooked (mass production) and I don't even want to talk about the coffee prices, it's an outrage! 1 star for being very clean and 2 for the fact that there are enough clean toilets for the masses of people.

Brilliant lots of fresh stuff a bit pricey but if you like it fresh you won't mind

Wasn’t great. We were looking forward to food that wasn’t the usual fast food from services, unfortunately it wasn’t to be. The ordering was straightforward but the food looked nothing like the picture. I ordered the Brie & bacon toastie, which in the picture looked really full & appetising, however my toastie had what could only be described as a couple of shavings of Brie & only a couple of fairly overcooked pieces of bacon. The only thing that was in abundance was the marmalade chutney 🙄my kids meals were also much smaller than pictured & very disappointing. As someone else wrote, I don’t mind paying premium prices so long as I get food that matches that. This was not.

Bad behavior makes you feel like he is pushing you to eat. If you don't give them a tip, they will put a commission on your bill, but the food is, frankly, nice.

Not cheap but always worth the effort to stop off at. Amazing choice of fresh and local products

Stopped here on Saturday morning, extremely busy, used the self service to order the coffee, long wait and feels very impersonal now. I have stopped here before and liked it but not anymore. Coffee was expensive and not as nice as last time.

This shop has very fancy local and international products, anything from groceries, delicatessen, butchers, to house products and clothing. They have tasty cakes, and I particularly love the chocolate and salted caramel cake, it never disappoints. The quality is very good for all the products we have purchased.

Beautiful rest stop! Food was tasty and fresh. Pet-friendly, handicapped accessible, and clean. Gas was priced a little high, but overall, a great stop.

Really lovely place to visit! Although a bit expensive, the quality of food and veggies are premium. Everything we bought lasted a lot longer than food bought from your local lidl for example. The meat also taste different and a lot fresher! They also have very nice bakery section. Must visit!

Stopped on the way home to grab a bite to eat. Service from the smiley young lady behind the breakfast counter was amazing, just a real shame that your bacon was left under heat lamps and like tasteless chewy cardboard……

The building and the concept is terrific but sadly the food and the service is mediocre at best and overpriced. Very happy to pay £15 for a meal with a soft drink but this really was disappointing.

My breakfasts here are always absolutely spot on. Great place for a meeting too. Unlike any other services, this is actually a nice place to be. Friendly staff too.

Large, clean, lighted parking lot, shower, toilet, you can't pay with a SNAP account, only Visa or Mastercard! 23 pounds and 5 pounds back for coffee, food, etc...

First visit was awful. 2nd visit to give the benefit of the doubt and it was closed! Not everyone travels at day time hours. I won't be back.

Great place to visit. For us, it's a one and a half hour drive, but it was well worth the journey to go there. Lots of produce, to choose from...Nice place to eat out at too.

We visited Southbound service driving to Devon 4 days ago and today popped in to Northbound driving back home. Very impressed with both services: Freshly baked all sorts of bread and deliciously cooked meals. Unfortunately the prices in the Farm Shop are astronomical: an aubergine would cost you 6 times more than in Lidl. We could not find any prices for the cooked food apart from 2 daily specials. Regardless to this, we had to eat, so we were pleasantly surprised when we weren't charged a fortune for a cottage pie and a lasagne. As well I was given for free a sticky toffee pudding (because I had a daily special). All three dishes were absolutely delicious and the portions were generous. As well, we could not stop ourselves from buying focascia bread for home. All the staff there are very polite. Will we stop at these services in the future? - YES without hesitation

Had some food after a long journey from the north east and it was fantastic. Not sure what farm supplies the shop but it all tasted super fresh and delicious!

Lovely place, but I don't know who decides the prices but they are shocking compared to my last visit.. Tea 3.15 for mug not a pot 4.15 for a flat white, brownie 3.95 for a little square and so on, you seriously need to sort those prices out, disgusting the way you're treating 😑 people coming in....

Stopped here on our way to Bath to use the restroom and grab some lunch. We were pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. We had expected it to be just like your regular service station but it was far from it. It really had a natural vibe to it all and the food and restrooms were of great standard. Spacious, clean and had a fair bit to do.

Overpriced and disappointing quality. I bought a steak and ale pie that was all veg and gravy, one tiny bit meat in the whole pie for £5.95. Tasteless! Stingily filled sandwiches and very bland vegetarian options. An absolute rip off! My advice: make and take your own sandwiches for the road.

Extremely expensive. £7.90 for 2 cappuccinos

You can't call it 'Mac n cheese' if there's little to no cheese involved! Please sort it out, cheese is cheaper than meat! AND you're a Farmhouse stop...everything else makes it the best stop in England.

The best cakes in the area and delicious ice cream, other products are also of very good quality, this is definitely my favorite service. Whenever I'm nearby, I always visit there

Two bacon rolls = £13. Honestly! No butter. Not toasted. Tepid. Roll tasted old. No garnish or tomato. Terrible dry brittle overcooked unsmoked tasteless bacon & unlikely of good provenance. I'd pay it and not complain if it was quality, fresh and lovely - like you get at Baffle Haus for eg. Absolute rip off outfit sorry as have had better at 2 star hygiene truck stop vans! £8 for two coffees on top. So disappointed. Never again as value is not an abstract concept unrelated to quality!

Tried chocolate cake and ice cream, both great taste and locally made but extortionate prices given they are made not far from site. I bet same products from half way across the world would be half the price

Makes a journey on the M5 worth it! Has Fast Charge Points.

Best services in the UK by far!

It was early on a Friday evening....the hot food was average and overpriced....and Owen and his colleague, whilst making my coffee, lacked integrity and dcency in their conversation making me and my family very uncomfortable. The whole experience was disappointing

Just what you need at a service station, a loaf of bread for £3.80, and garlic beer

Really disappointing coffee ☹️ beautifully landscaped service station but really expensive and poor coffee.

Nice and modern shop with a lot of great quality products. There’s also a cheesemonger, a patisserie and a deli inside. So many local products and things from all over the UK. The prices are quite reasonable too.

Head & shoulders above any other service station I've been to. Farm shop is quite expensive though

Oh my goodness. SO NEEDED this. Food to please many 'fussies' like me. Absolutely delicious. You can't resist temptation. Yumminess and good for you, too. What's not to like? Xxxx

FABULOUS - a breath of fresh air!!!

Lovely clean toilets, food a little expensive at £6 for a toasted cheese and bacon sandwich to go and little bits of overcooked bacon made it a big disappointment 😞

Great services just off the M5. Really fancy local products, nice friendly staff. 👍

Stopped on the way to south wales, so lovely had pie and chips wanted to buy everything there 🥰

Best farm shop around. Great restaurant, lovely products in the shop. Definitely worth a visit

The best service station I've been to in the UK, for sure. It's not cheap, but food and products taste/feel quality so you largely get what you pay for.

Always a nice place to relax and eat. Highly recommend this place.

There is an outdoor terrace for the cafe with tables and chairs. This is the lake beside the terrace. A lovely, peaceful oasis on the M5 - my favourite motorway services. I always stop there for lunch to and from Devon. The food is good, local and ‘home cooked’.

Whilst the atmosphere and facilities at this services is second to none, I personally don't believe the price of many items is wholly justified. The farm shop is stocked with a plethora of different locally sourced items; from clothing, to toys, to alcohol. All of which seems to be of a high quality, however the price tags are not for the faint of heart - if you are looking for a high end, luxury services experience then do consider stopping here.

If only every service station provided this quality of food and service. So much better than all the rest. Good value, tasty food - the steak and ale pie with mashed potato, peas and gravy was excellent. Loos spotless, in fact the whole place spotless. Design of the building is fantastic and allows you to truly have a break from driving. My only suggestion, request - please will they buy up more of the shoddy, lacklustre, overpriced service stations out there!

Always stop here, south and northbound. Food is good and the shop is even better 😋

Lovely Food slightly overpriced on some items , but the Quality makes up for it .

I'm a sucker for a good mid-journey shoppertunity and this is one of the best

A real treat for a motorway services. Proper food and no real junk stuff. No gimmicky souvenirs all quality produce.

Great farm shop with so much choice. Also had a drink in the cafe area. Lovely so much better than your standard service station

Great place, so clean and good quality local produce

Bring your credit card!!!! £4 for a sausage roll

Best steak and Ale pie I have ever eaten

Absolutely gorgeous motorway services. Beautiful design, and amazing range of produce from locally sourced suppliers.

Lovely place high quality produce

We stopped here yesterday around 8:30am, we had a bacon roll and a sausage and bacon roll and it was cold and bread was stale. Very disappointing.

A phenomenonal experience highly recommended 👌

Absolutely wonderful as always. The varied choice of food and goods was great.

Lovely place to stop, always worth making the effort, not cheap, BUT great value, and superb quality.

An impressive selection of meats, cheeses, alcohol, condiments and other non-food items to choose from, at fairly reasonable prices considering its a farm shop inside a service stop. I would like to return to try different items next time!
