Ferny Hill Farm in Enfield

I can only rate as I have experienced here and reckon these are probably a 3.5 on a better day. Took 40 minutes for the food to arrive and we only stayed because my grandson of 3 years was so hungry. We did hear others who came in being warned of a 45 minute wait, we didn't get that warning. Not an easy task keeping a hungry 3 year old boy settled at a table for that length of time. When the food arrived, my grandons cheese and ham toastie was a cheese an onion toastie. Not a chance we were going to send it back and wait however long for a correction, so scraped the onions out and thankfully he was ok with that. The Big Breakfast. Good and Bad. It was big, no complaint there. The sausages were really really really good, the bacon was very nice and not too salty. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the buttered sourdough was also very nice. Now the Bad.... The beans. Just my preference but i would have preferred them to have been served seperately in a pot as they often are. There was a very generous portion of them and way too much juice. Don't think they were served from a slotted spoon, the plate was dominated by bean juice and infected everthing. They tasted ok though. The 2 inch diameter tomatoes were cooked but served whole, not a great look. The mushrooms were horrible, black, spongy and stewed. Black Pudding.. don't eat that !! so no comment either way on it. Half slice of fried bread was drowned in bean juice so soggy. The tea was ok, nothing special. Very annoying however that tea for 2 came with a small jug of milk for 2 cups of tea for a pot that done 4-5 cups easily. Had to get a refill from very busy servers.The Black Americano coffee was not good at all though, like really not good. No one would order this twice ever i'm certain. I'm sure if i'd attended during a less busy time when service was normal and orders delieverd accurately, I would have scored them higher. But you can only review what you have experienced and experience is relative to cost too. 2 Big Breakfasts, Cheese and Onion Toastie, tea for 2 and a Coffee, £42 odd. I think 2 stars is fair for our experience here, probably 3.5 with normal service. Could be 4.5 with a better detail to breakfast items and should have been better given top dollar prices. Again great great sausages though.

Really Friendly staff and it was very busy which was a good thing as we thought people must love it here. We waited about 40 minutes for our breakfast but it was so good we really didn’t mind. Everything on the plate was delicious, I don’t think we left anything.

Waited an hour for simple food - sandwich. Food was then given to other customers. Food was then made again in a few minutes. Avocado on toast £8 was literally one slice of white with avocado on top, no garnish, big empty plate. Then went to Trent Park Cafe which was quick, great food and choice.

Stopped in here for tea and cake on Saturday afternoon after walking our dog on the London loop . We each had afternoon tea for one and it was superb warm homemade scones , with clotted cream and quality jam . Dog friendly with water and treats provided and an excellent stop after a dog walk . We will definitely be back

Don't let the surroundings fool you, this is not your typical farm cafe with all fresh ingredients. This is basically a greasy spoon type breakfast, ie cheap catering sausages, cheap margarine not butter on the toast. Also the service was extremely slow as other reviewers have pointed out, around 40 mins. The staff were friendly and it's in a beautiful country setting.

Very surprised at so many good reviews. Firstly when we first sat down the place was really cold and quite uninviting. Mocha arrived and was lukewarm. I ordered the Big Breakfast- definitely quantity over quality. Bacon overcooked, sausages were virtually tasteless- definitely not local produce as expected. Massive lake of baked beans- also tasteless, why couldn’t they be in a separate dish as in most restaurants? Whole tomato which was rock hard- why not cut in half? Insipid white bread which was supposed to be fried bread. Toast arrived pre- buttered- I don’t eat butter so couldn’t eat it. Why wasn’t it served without as in most restaurants where butter is usually provided separately. The only tasty element was the mushrooms. Very disappointing. We always get a fantastic cooked breakfast in Cornwall several times a year full of local produce, local sourdough bread and perfectly cooked. Served in a lovely restaurant overlooking the sea.The breakfast we ate today cannot be compared and was more expensive!

Amazing food, friendly staff and such a happy environment, and also dog friendly. Would definitely recommend for breakfast or lunch

Very god coffee, Plenty to eat. Friendly staff and surrounded by countryside, only just outside the London postcodes. I plan to go back.

Excellent freshly cooked locally produced food. Courteous, helpful and cheerful staff - nothing too much trouble. Great attitude with children and dog friendly. What more can you ask for? 👍

I took my cousin and her husband here for his 60th birthday and he absolutely loved it. I am a regular visitor because the food is good, well sourced and well made. The staff and the owner are delightful and bend over backwards for you. They are dog friendly too. I am reluctant to big them up because it's my favourite place and I want to keep it a secret but they deserve the shout out.

Stopped for lunch before visiting the arboretum at Beales 5 min away. We were hoping to sit outside as it was a lovely sunny autumn day - over 20 degrees. There was no outdoor seating which was a shame - there on our last visit. Inside was quite busy and a bit noisy. It is however, a nice old farm building with original beams, sympathetically furnished. We were also hoping to have a look around the farm shop which was attached. This had unfortunately closed. Our order did take some time - over half an hour to arrive after we had ordered - it was a simple order of soup and omlette. When it did arrive it was fresh, tasty and well made.

We have been meaning to come here for a long time. As we were passing by on our way home decided to drop in. The cafe is very pleasant. Very spacious with some outdoor seating. We both had the breakfast full and half. Everything was cooked well, sadly the black pudding was the exception being rather dry. However that was my only gripe. The staff were fine and the service was quick. Certainly will return here.

Found this place whilst staying around the corner, what an amazing find. The staff were truly amazing with their service. I cannot get over the VFM, just over £4 for a cream tea!? The views are idyllic, not what you expect on the outskirts of London. A true oasis, will definitely be back here soon!

Excellent outside seating with a view of the countryside to enjoy a cream tea, in the afternoon. They also have non-diary cappuccino.

Twice I have attended the cafe and feel certain waitresses dress and behave very inappropriate towards towards my partner. Not only are they disrespectful but they got my food order wrong also. Won't be attending there again.

Really disappointed with my recent visit! Wasn’t very clean and staff were not as friendly as they used to be. Won’t be heading back anytime soon.

What a breakfast! Every aspect was delicious. The bacon and sausage are particularly good quality! My partner also thoroughly enjoyed the cream tea! The scone was warm and fresh!

Superb service! Excellent food and a beautiful place to go and have breakfast or just a tea/coffee.. very friendly and polite staff :) would highly recommended!

This establishment advertises itself as being open to 4pm, Wednesday to Sunday. We called at 3.30pm on Saturday 4th September to be greeted at the door by a member of staff who told us they were about to close and could not serve us. We pointed out there was half an hour before their purported closure and were they sending us away? He said yes, and I responded that this would now be permanent as previously we had been regular customers. We were not asked what we wanted to eat or drink. We would have accepted being advised that they could no longer supply hot dishes but could provide cakes, sandwiches, teas etc at that time but we were not even given the opportunity to decide. The majority of the staff are kids, including the lad who turned us away. When dealing with kids, you must be expected to be treated like kids, it seems. We have always assumed that closing time means when the establishment is prepared to take last orders, not when the staff want to get home. Despite being locals, we will not be returning to Ferny Hill Tea Rooms anytime soon. No stars.

This little tea shop is a great little gem- it feels like you're in the middle of the countryside. The 1/2 cream tea is a great idea and was lovely, as were the pancakes. Would highly recommend this for a spot of tea.

Regular visitors before lockdown we have visited several times since. It's apparently under new ownership although some of the excellent serving staff are still there. They are under pressure and doing their best to maintain a full service with reduced staff due to covid:. They...

Just been there and it was REALLY good. New menus, excellent friendly and professional service. Thanks ladies!

This cafe feels like it is the countryside but you are only a few minutes from the edge of London and inside the M25. The cafe is located in old farm buildings that are rustic but surprisingly practical. We were a group of more than...

I reviewed Ferny hill, BC, earlier in the year and decided that I would give my longstanding go to breakfast a miss for a while. Needed some tlc. Recent visit - wow! Back to what you do best. Best breakfast within the M25 by far.

Been here several times now and never been disappointed. Covid rules adhered to properly . Scrambled egg on toast with smoked salmon was excellent ; not the cheapest ever but ... large portion of egg and salmon which was a full meal . Coffee good...

A visit after a mooch around garden centre with mum. Lovely freshly made scones, plenty of jam and cream and a great cup of coffee - what's not to like? Great service and value for money 😊

Popped in for lunch on a Friday afternoon, much busier than I expected it to be, but parked easily and found a seat and were served promptly. I drink a lot of coffee and the latte I ordered was about as good as it gets....

A nice setting, cafe. I had excellent breakfast, superb ingredients served by some great staff 👍👍 highly recommended

What a lovely place, close to home but away from it all. Very surprised to come to this farm site and get home food - breakfasts , delicious soup and scrumptious scones and cake. Service was good and with a smile and the surrounding area...

Friendly and helpful staff and good food on offer as usual in pleasant surroundings. The only downside was that prices appear to have been raised by about 25%, I wonder if Ferny Hill now has new owners or managers and this is the reason for...

Been here a couple of times. I would have rated it very good as I've had the cooked breakfast before and it's always been good and a decent portion. However recently I went there for breakfast and the crockery needs a good overhaul...not so much...

Called in here after playing golf at Trent Park. Food was all fresh. And everyone enjoyed it. Nice quality produced used. I thought lay it was slightly on the expensive side.

Firstly half the food on the menu was not available. Eventually ordered two meals. Ploughman's lunch was way too expensive which included some lettuce, cucumber and tomato, with some coleslaw, Branston pickle a few olives and two pieces of french bread. Oh I forgot the crisps!The other meal was a mushroom omelette. T he omelette was okay, but was served with crisps! and a few pieces of lettuce, some cucumber and two slices of tomatoes. This being the side salad. Anyway, was very disappointed in the meals and the prices. Must admit the service was okay,

Very disappointed ordered small breakfast arrived within 2mins of ordering, Luke warm at best, this should be a freshly cooked breakfast, I told the staff and they said that they would cook a fresh one!, when it arrived my wife could see the staff touching the food to see if it was hot, when I said that I did not want it, the server got very aggressive, the manager did apologies, but this situation should never happen. With regards to cleanliness, the table was sticky to the touch and the window seal had cobwebs on it, such a shame. On a personal note we will never return, only went for breakfast not a fight.

Met up with family - lots of talking and no body tried to rush us out at all. The food was great value and plenty of it. A busy spot with a good farm shop too

Ordered all day breakfast with latte. Coffee in milk difficult to detect , black pudding tasted like plastic ! Beans dolloped into the middle of the plate engulfing everything in their paths like a bean volcano.

Have been using for years, excellent all day mansize full breakfast although smaller version available. Friendly hard working staff tables usually available but always busy. At lunchtime other homemade delights available. Farm shop attached next door. Grandchildren love it.

Lovely setting, country side veiws home cooked soups are delicious! Would be nice to include some vegan options.

We drove out to the farm for afternoon tea and arrived at 3-45pm to be met by a member of staff in the car park who said they were closing today Wednesday at 4pm.

Although the food was good but expensive, the unnecessary, disgustingly rude treatment my friend received from one of the waiters was not acceptable. I shall not be going back!

No matter how many times you go here for breakfast or lunch you will get excellent service and fantastic food. The full English is gorgeous, my follow diner had the large breakfast, I didn't think he would eat it all but he sure did.

I often have delicious cream teas at Ferny Hill, either with family or friends, their scones are cooked fresh daily. Wonderful meeting place. Also a shop that sells lovely goodies to take away.

Yet another visit to Ferny Hill and as usual excellent and friendly service by staff I had smoked salmon and scrambled egg with toast, really delicious and a good price too. Will be visiting again soon for sure

We went with a few kids and they quickly cleared a table and made room for us, so it was a fantastic first impression. The restaurant is right next to this nice fresh farm shop also which is nice. Plenty of parking outside, great fresh food, and friendly staff, I will be happily returning and recommend this place also.

Trent Park Sunday Walkers Christmas Brunch As always an excellent experience. Very good freshly cooked food with attentive and professional service. Can highly recommend

I run a small business locally together with my colleague,,,,,,,,,, as a Christmas get together for a group of our clients I booked a table at ferny hill,farm, after visiting on a number of occasions and enjoying my visits and never having cause to complain. I spoke with the owner prior to the date of our visit as a matter of courtesy to ensure they were happy to cater for us and clearly stated that we were catering for tea, coffees maybe sandwiches and cake. He suggested pre ordering their platters or maybe cream teas but then suggested we wait until the day and order from the menu as we went along. I took his advice on ordering on the day. We arrived at the cafe and it became clear very quickly that they had very little to offer cake wise and in fact it became quite uncomfortable with the reality even though we were booked and I had this conversation with the owner, that there was not much to be able to offer our clients. The lovely young staff were absolutely amazing and bent over backwards to accommodate and find ways to make up for this total lack of organisation. I spoke in person to the owner explaining the conversation we had which he basically denied and tried to state that I had not been clear in my requirements,,,,,,,,, I was beyond frustrated and frankly embarrassed at this point as I had a table of 20 clients and really was not relishing having to deal with this. His final unprofessional and beyond rude solution was to tell me he was not going to speak with me and walked away. I was speechless .......... I can on,y thank the lovely staff that bent over backwards to ensure that our afternoon was salvaged with absolutely no apology from the owner. I live locally and will absolutely never re visit ferny hill farm again. The one star is for the staff who I cannot thank enough.

Always buzzy and busy. Great traditional cooked breakfasts, reasonably priced and loads of it! Friendly and efficient service. Never disappoints.

Not sure why this is headlined as being vegetarian friendly as there were no veggie options on the menu. I ordered a toastie with the limited vegetables they had and some cheese. Firstly they presented me with a ham sandwich. Then we found my "toastie" on someone else's plate. It was two slices of cold toast that was literally falling apart and everything inside it was cold. The cheese wasn't even melted. The waiting staff were lovely but the service was very slow (half the table had finished before the other half even got theirs) and it definitely wasn't worth the wait. Won't be going back.

Visited the tea room last week with my wife. Large breakfast was superb, so was the lunchtime special which consisted of homemade soup and a toasted sandwich. Convivial atmosphere and view of countryside. Be prepared to wait to order for as tea room popular but staff polite and welcoming. Once ordered, food arrived in time one would expect.

My partner and I have been going to Ferny Hill Farm Tea Rooms for many years now. We have always have fantastic service by all the waiters and waitresses who work their,especially Jess she always has a smile on her face. The all day breakfast is fantastic,having said that everything you eat their is fresh produce and made to perfection. The deserts and soups are especially good.

I visit this place quite regularly. The big breakfast is very good. The team rooms has a small but decent menu. It is run by friendly youngsters. I can't believe somebody gave it one star purely on the basis they were asked move tables. The food is very nice and I have always found the service to be very good. I always look forward to coming here. There is a decent farm shop next door to the tea rooms.

Just come back after having had a wonderful breakfast! Beautiful cooked and sat overlooking beautiful views of the countryside! We go frequently and it’s always a joy! Service is great and staff are always so friendly! We’ll be back soon!!!!

The service was slow but polite, we waited 20 minutes before someone came and took our order. People were waiting to be seated and the staff said it was busy and a bit more hectic than usual. The coffee and the tea were of good quality, the sandwiches were well filled, very tasty and well presented for a snack. The surroundings are rustic cafe and the cost is quite reasonable. Will go again.

I am a fairly regular visitor and have always been impressed by the friendly and efficient service.Good food and good prices to match. I have never exprienced bad service on any of my visits. Good location looking out over open country side but only a few miles from North London.Car park can get a bit crowded at busy times.

Arrived to the t room with my family, to see the car park was packed I was guided on where I could leave my car, hoping we could get a table.

Food excellent good service lovely location.Have busted many tea rooms but this one is at the top end of all of them.

Have read some negative reviews about service at Ferny Hill. I visit regularly and have only received courteous helpful and efficient service. The fact that it is always packed especially on weekends is probably evidence that many people are very satisfied with this great eating and meeting cafe

We were driving past, liked the look of it so popped in. Nice roomy and bright place, plenty of tables. Unfortunately, even though our waitress was very sweet, the service was shambolic. We ordered a scone and piece of carrot cake. Now it's not rocket science is it to bring both at the same time? But whilst I got mine my husband had to wait ages. Eventually we had to ask. There was no apology at all. Sadly it wasn't worth the wait. Nearly £4 for a small piece of dry shop bought cake. The coffees were good but we won't be going back.

Service was terrible. They didn't bring a single order the way it was supposed to be. Confused everything. Couldn't remember the drinks we ordered as well. Weren't friendly.

We used to love coming to Ferny Hill for the excellent breakfasts, however the past few visits have been awful. Cheap bread, overcooked meat, poached eggs that look horrendous and taste so much of vinegar they’re inedible. We won’t be coming back until we hear normal service has resumed!

I've been going to Ferny Hill Farm for years. I've recommended so many people to try it, because of your location people will not just come from passing trade.

Really good inexpensive menu for a lunch snack meal. There is lots of choice, all well cooked and presented. The coffee is excellent and you leave feeling that you might not need an evening meal. The service is friendly and attentive. We girls have been many times and will continue to enjoy all the food.

Lovely staff, quick and speedy services. I ordered the smoked salmon and scrambled egg, But received cooked salmon flakes mixed with the scrambled egg which I was keen but still tasted delicious. So if you’re thinking of order, don’t asked for it to be mixed.

Been told by people to visit, so I did.

Went with mum dad and sue been before nice size breakfast good product nice staff no 5x this time as black pudding was overcooked dry and awful first bad experience here to be fair

We have visited a few times as a family for breakfast in the summer. Lovely if you get a table outside too. It does get very busy though on weekends. Food and service is good. Nice countryside setting.

Nice Location Very good warm scones with real cream and jam Great Earl Grey tea with chilled sparkling water worth the visit

Huge warm scone With strawberry jam, clotted cream, earl grey tea and great views. Nice farm shop. Now im just writing to fill up the ....

Visited Ferny Hill Cafe for Breakfast - enjoyed a typical English Breafast in a rustic ambience. The Cafe is located in a beautiful Country side and has a laid-back atmosphere.

There isn’t many places in Enfield you can have a lovely breakfast with the view of fields after a beautiful walk round Trent park!

Great place for brunch. Had the smoked salmon and scrambled egg. requested for just the scrambled egg white and they accommodated my request. Food is fresh, service is impeccable. Love it

We used to grab a drink in Trent Park cafe after our walk until we found here- now we have breakfasts.

Good choice on menu, standard fare but all our meals were tasty and well cooked. Reasonably priced, friendly service, and all very clean and well organised. Farm shop is really a gift shop though, not much local produce the day we came

What a delightful place this is.

This place is on a quiet road a couple of minutes drive from Cockfosters underground station, but feels a mile away from London. It's on a quiet road, a minute's drive from Parkside pick-your-own farm, and the location is a great part of Ferny Hill.

lovely place cheap breky and view easy for parking and nice and quick old school English breakfast veg or not

Very nice looking place. Lovely little farm shop to buy fresh produce. Lunch was a jacket potato which was delicious and couldn't have been better. Was very fast. Reasonably priced. Waitress was very polite, helpful and patient.

By far the best breakfast in the whole of London

He estado aquí por el brunch desayuno el domingo / varias veces durante su estancia con amigos, y es localmente un lugar encantador con un ambiente muy rural, tradicional. Hay mucha variedad en el menú, aunque tienden a quedarse en el mismo: huevos escalfados y tocino en tostadas, con un adicional de salchichas. Siempre muy bien, y nuestra visita más reciente no fue una excepción - los huevos estaban bien, el tocino crujiente como solicitado, y la salchicha estaba delicioso. También tuve un jugo de naranja fresco y una taza de té de frutas.

Parece que lejos de la gran ciudad, perdido en algún lugar de los campos. Gran ambiente de granja. Hamburguesas caseras con excelente calidad de alguna manera recetas originales.

Tucked away on Ferny Hill is the tea room. A lovely building with great views over the surrounding green fields. The staff here were all friendly and efficient and made for a lovely atmosphere.I ordered the half size breakfast which was plenty big enough. I couldn't even manage a gorgeous looking cake afterward :( The place was packed, obviously a firm favourite with many. It will certainly be on my radar from now on.

We went here on a recommendation and at first sight it seems nice, with plenty of parking and a nice, though expensive, farm store and gift shop. The restaurant itself (we went for breakfast) is a bit dull in some parts but brighter in others and has plenty of space. The exposed beams and rough woodwork are attractive but covered in a thick layer of dust so we had to be careful not to touch it. The food and service was quite good but a bit overpriced and for quality, quantity and value does not match up to some other eating places in the local area. Not bad but we would not rush to go there again with better options just a few minutes away.

The staff here went out of their way to help us from little things like bringing extra cucumber to the table or additional crockery without being asked. The food is nice and I'm pleased that they have done up the toilets. The only downside was that the harnesses on all the highchair were broken!

Extremely average food and service Not very child friendly either Better places to go nearby in Cockfosters

We are recent converts to this venue. Popped in for a breakfast and the food was great. Good quality ingredients, cooked well and served by attentive staff.Love the Salmon & Scrambled Eggs. The Full English has really good Bacon and Mushrooms. The Ham & Cheese Ploughmans is a really nice meal.Not as cheap as a greasy spoon, but you are getting premium ingredients which makes a real difference to the enjoyment of your meal.The setting is good and with ample parking it is a great stop off point during the day.

Food is good, portion sizes are right. The prices are fair. Much of the food is locally sourced. There is a nice shop if you want to buy local produce. All in worth a visit.

I am surprised to see Ferny Hill has only had a 11 reviews to date as we've been going there for years. We call this place 'Big Boy Breakfast' as the full breakfast, with double rations of everything, is formidable! Great quality produce means it not your standard cafe fry-up which is reflected in the price.Good for afternoon tea too! I've been told.Can't recommended it enough.Josh

My wife and I come to this venue once in a blue moon so I thought it only right to write a piece about it. If you like a full English breakfast then you can do no better than here. Excellent food, nice and clean location and very good staff. You cannot ask for more. I would recommend this establishment to anyone. Good prices, this place is a goldmine for the owners. Keep up the good work!

Good quality food, and friendly staff, but be prepared to wait....incredibly slow service.12ish on a Sunday.Over 30 minute wait just to get our tea and juice.Not nice being made to wait so long, especially with kids.

A nice cafe with great homely food, huge portions so make sure you are hungry. Some of our party had the Big Breakfast and it lived up to its name, only those with the biggest stomachs didn't struggle to finish it. I had a omelette, very nice but on the large side. For some reason they were not dong milkshakes, not sure why as they are simple to prepare but I wasn't given an explanation.

The farm is set within the Green Belt Area, and looking from the windows as you eat, it is hard to believe that you are minutes from the end of the Piccadilly Line in one direction, and the M25 in the other. A full English Breakfast is served till 3.0 pm, and there are lunch time specials too. Food is wholesome, and service friendly. Gets very busy on Sunday mornings with families.

My partner and I stopped off for a quick lunch here on the 2/1/16. There is a farm shop on entrance to the tea rooms which I did not have time to browse but it was appealing. The place was busy which is always a positive and we chose the lunchtime special of home made soup with choice of crusty bread or grilled sandwiches with a number of fillings to choose from. The portions were large,satisfying and good value.Service was friendly and prompt, tables were being cleared and cleaned thoroughly. I can imagine in the summer months the views to be very picturesque, however even on a cold, wet and grey day in January it was an enjoyable experience and would recommend.

Had a late lunch here around 14:00 after some hospital visits. The views are lovely out from the seating area and warrant a photo or two. Having eaten at a few restaurants in the area with mostly dismal results, I was keeping my expectations low. Thankfully the staff at Ferny Hill proved me wrong. Great prompt service and with four of us with intricate orders, they got all the details correct. The food itself was basic but tasty, exactly what we wanted. They did load the smoked salmon rather thickly which was lovely, especially from a London area restaurant. Coffee was great, and the farm shop had great gifts and food. Would easily go for a meal again.

Brilliant, great value fry up with a lovely outlook across the farmlands and up to The Ridgeway. Great quality ingredients and swift friendly service. Love it here.

We had lunch here. Cheese on toast , 2 slices with crisps &a salad included . Salmon & cream cheese sandwich with crisps & salad included. Plenty of choice . Lovely view with outside seating if preferred. Farm shop which is well stocked. Hertfordshire at its best .

This is an ideal stop on the way to the "pick your own" Parkside farm.Friendly staff and good selection of dishes and cakes. Also a farm shop

We been seated for breakfast and latter on when we were ready to order been told by the same waitress to vacate table as he made mistake and is another couple will sit here!!! Oh no full restaurant, but was one table with newspapers and plenty unused chair which could accommodate couple no effort been showing just you make mistake you think how to solve not to just kick off guest which been seated by you already!!!! Crap service!!!!

Ferny Hill Farm is on the south side of Ferny Hill, at the Cockfosters end. The menu is slightly restricted but everything that we've tried there, over several years, has been excellent -- including the quality of the service. One of our favourites in brunch, which is available at the weekend, but the best of the lot is the clotted cream teas - with home made scones and strawberry jam. If you eat your brunch fairly slowly you can even slide straight on into a cream tea. The restaurant is usually busy, regardless of the time of day, but we've always been able to get a table. The farm shop - in an annexe by the entrance - is also well worth visiting.
