Rubbish Farm Shop. Nowhere near as good as Priory Farm Shop

We went for a coffee and a few things from the farm shop. I had a cheese and ham sandwich on white, comes with crisps and a nice little salad all very nice, coffee good carrot cake very good. The farm shop like most is expensive , but you get allegedly, free range meats of good quality locally sourced. I had chicken supremes they did taste good. Bought few other bits from the shop as a treat as I was flush that week

Attended the Oktoberfest event on 19/10. Was our third year running and it's such a shame to see how much it's declined each year. 1. Seating this year was a different layout, with the stage at the far end of the barn and tables in rows all the way down to the back. Not only does it make it impossible for people at the back (such as we were) to hear or see anything or even feel involved, but they've inexplicably gone and positioned a buffet station right down the middle of the barn, segregating the cheap seats even more. We chose to go with the £40 standard tickets as we didn't feel £60 for what should have been the same experience but with tables closer to the front and really slow table drinks service would be worth it. The website states that the earlier you book your tickets, the closer to the front you'll be... So having booked the very day that tickets went on sale, we were shocked to find ourselves nearly all the way back by the toilets! 2. Beer is obviously a big part of Oktoberfest, however, the serving staff couldn't pour a beer if their lives depended on it. Not only was bar staff painfully slow but the beers they were pouring had no head whatsoever as they weren't bothering to tilt the steins whilst pouring. Leading to a miserable looking beer with no head that tasted as though it had been mixed with a generous helping of line cleaner.... Disgusting!... Switched to mixed drinks after 2 steins. Nothing says Oktoberfest like Jack Daniels and Coke! 3. The last two years we've gone to this event, there has been an opening "oom pah band", the Flower Farm House band and some kind of headline act. 2 years ago, it was the Mariachis, last year it was an Elvis tribute. All very entertaining, however, this year, (I expect as a cost cutting measure) there was no headline act. Instead we were subjected to the AWFUL Flower Farm House band, with a lead singer who kept forgetting the lyrics, the tune and the tempo of all your favorite party songs! It was painful to (half) listen to. Needless to say, we left early, feeling mightily disappointed and certain that we won't be coming back for round 4 in 2025.

Fantastic farm shop and bistro. Popped by after a dog walk in nearby Marden park. Plenty of parking and outdoor and indoor seating for the bistro which is really pleasant inside with interesting film posters on the wall. Had a goats cheese panini and a bacon Brie and avocado panini and both came with a lovely tomato pepper and cucumber salad and some crisps. The shop was excellent too with some amazing meats including sausages, pork chops and marinated chickens. Great selection of fruits and veg, cheeses and pastries including marmite sausage rolls and huge pork pies. Polite and friendly staff. A really great find and would definitely recommend a visit.

Went shopping here instead of the usual Priory Farm. Took and aubergine of the shelf and my hand went straight through it. Rotten to the core. Tried to communicate this to the girl behind the counter and she was unable to understand. The guy who sometimes does the car park intervened and got cloth and towel. Other veg was sub par and some were certainly past consume date. I’ll stick to Priory Farm and Veasey & Sons who have their pitch outside.

Bought a kg of Old English bangers to make toad in the hole. They hardly had any pork and were mainly rusk. I can honestly say the worst sausages I've ever tasted. Also bought 6 thick pork chops. They were superb.

My experience with Flower Farm was way below average. Although everything is expensive, the service is not at the level of their prices. I love the idea and their products are good, but wish they took the feedback in consideration and trained their staff better. I know the service industry is not easy, but I've been to many places in the area where the service is stellar but that's not the case at Flower Farm.

Disappointing lunch here . Dexter steak roll and a fish finger sandwich , tea ( pot held 1.5 cups ) and a coke £42. Asked for a roll other than brioche got a flat No from a sullen waitress . As its £18 I argued the point . Given a cheese french bread instead . No one asked how I wanted my steak and the " salad" limp slimey lettuce leaf with the fish finger sandwich . The cakes on sale in the shop were in an open box covered in flies and wasps. Only the waitress who cleared the tables seemed to know what customer service is . Could not recommend

A handy stop off near the motorway, with good (if pricey) food options. Couple of negatives though which spoilt our visit: - the pastry items from the shop are vile and truly not edible - there are only two toilets, and when we were there the hygiene was very poor, which was not rectified despite notifying two members of staff.

Deli counter looked appetising but 3 different kinds of savoury pastries we got from there were all very poor quality and the majority of which were thrown away. Bottle of hot sauce for almost £8 which when we got home realised went off that day was also a complete waste of money. The butcher counter was good.

Shocked and very disappointed in my local farm which I used to be always keen to support. There is a reason why they don't show the pricing for some produce and you will only find out if you specifically ask for a till receipt. Got home and found I had paid £5.80 for just 18 cherries which was 278g in weight and was just over 32p a cherry! So much for supporting local produce and farms. I even went back to ask if they had made a mistake and the lady at the till looked embarrassed and said no it was correct at £20.86 a kilo!! Shameless and far from transparent. This unfortunately feels like a consequence of the farm and shop growing in size and popularity over recent years and now having a wider audience, feel that they can get away with it and not worry about shocking some customers with the over pricing. Don't even get me started on nearly 80p an apple!

Amazing selection of meat at Butcher, perfect for bbq, different marinades available. Deli has variety of fresh products. Meat is reasonably priced. Fruit and veg bit pricey. Picked strawberries which are plentiful if you can see past the weeds left to grow naturally. They make picking strawberries difficult and hard to navigate the paths. Coffee shop has good lunch menu with quick service and polite staff. Toilets available. Lots of parking.

Went for Breakfast. Poor customer service, an elderly couple sat down at a table that still had dirty plates and cutlery on it. The waitress brought them their hot drinks but did not take away the dirty crockery and litter. About 10-15 minutes later they were served their breakfast but still the waitress didn't take the dirty crockery away. The staff clearly aren't trained well as they managed to clear tables where no one was sitting. Having visited their table twice how difficult would it have been to take away the mess!

Regularly bought meat here, unfortunately, my last two experiences weren't great. Twice ai bought steaks that were tough and not of good quality, really hard to chew. Popped in yesterday for some sausage rolls and other snacks. The sausage rolls weren't great for the price. I will be buying from the Priory Farm shop from now on, i don't like paying good money for low quality. Paid farm shop prices for supermarket quality.

DO NOT WASTE MONEY HERE! Attended today for a pre booked mothers day meal for 2 adults 1 child. In brief we waited 1hr 15min and left angry, hungry and disappointed! To start with we waited 50min before complaining - our order was 2x roast dinner and 1 kids meal! 2x Roast dinner arrived after 50min stone cold. The waitress then came to take away my roast dinner to give it to someone else in the restaurant!. Apparently wrong order?! My son had a children’s meal of a ham sandwich, crisps and carrots. It arrived after 1hr- 2 slices of unbuttered bread, ham slice slapped on, no crisps and a few carrot sticks. Their 2nd attempt to give us a roast dinner arrived and again stone cold! The potatoes seemed 2 days old, meat was stale and cold, Yorkshire pudding had about 50ml of oil sitting inside. Absolutely disgusting! We left with our deposit refunded but hungry and an awful Mother’s Day experience! We were also not the only ones who left due to this! Will NOT be returning. Shame as we are local resident’s too

If I could give a zero I would have. Beyond terrible! Without doubt the worst cup of “coffee” I have ever had. A single cafetière with enough ground coffee inside to provide light brown water and no more. Tasteless dishwater. Smashed avocado on toast - AKA warm sliced bread with chopped up either over ripe (black) or rock hard pieces of avocado, 5 warm cherry tomatoes, rocket leaves on the top and NO DRESSING. when this was requested I received an espresso cup full of olive oil!! Such a shame that this place is being run by people with clearly no idea.

Terrible. Horrible service. Food poor apart from the waffle dish, unediable and rip of prices. Flies everywhere. Owner keeps posting this is a working farm. Been to loads of farm cafes and farm shops and have never been infested with flies. Disgusting. Need to employ pest controllers. Would advise anyone new to the area of visiting to avoid at all costs. Look pretty outside but shame does not match. Also says is a cafe but has choosen to stop selling coffee variety in this day and age this is what people want.

I've been here a number of times over the past few months with my elderly parents. They just want a run out somewhere that is pleasant, clean , and has helpful staff. Flower farm is all of these things. A proper tea pot. A nice selection of cakes. The toasted paninis are great. We've learnt that one between my parents is more than enough for them, along with a side of chips. They don't skimp on the fillings of the paninis, and they are very filling. The only downside is how far away the toilets are. It's okay for me, but my father is on a rolator and finds it a bit far away (especially if it's a cold day!)

A shame. We went for breakfast because Blossom in Godstone was closed. To start they don’t offer any coffee other than filter coffee, which is £4. The freshly squeezed orange is nice but full of ice and again £4. My partner ordered a granola fruit bowl type deal and the menu stated “layers of crunchy granola with a berry compote”. What we actually got were oats instead of granola and jam instead of compote. This was £9 I had a breakfast which was fine. Nothing special but was £13 for bacon, egg, sausage, hash B and beans. Overall it was just a bit meh, quite expensive and not even that good. I also asked why they didn’t offer latte or cappuccinos ect, the waitress said they don’t offer this because they are concentrating on the food. Which is odd because the chefs make the food and not the coffee 🫣. The waitress just shrugged and didn’t really have an answer. Happy to speak to management if needs be

Upon arrival, it was really unclear whether it was bar or table service (it’s bar). Was greeted by a hundred swarming flies outside and a less than enthusiastic member of staff behind the counter. Ordered a coffee, Diet Coke and 2 sausage sandwiches (£23). Drinks came pretty quickly. Half an hour passed, so I asked a waitress how long the food wait would be. It wasn’t overly busy. She said she would find out…..She didn’t find out, or come back to update us. I then went to the bar again (wait time now 40 mins) to just ask for a refund. Turns out our ticket hadn’t even got to the kitchen so god knows how long we would have been waiting if we hadn’t asked for our money back. Don’t waste your petrol driving there.

I can only but echo (and add to) similar recent reviews. Charmless lack of welcome on arrival. Table sticky, wrong order taken. Eggs tasteless, bacon poor, beans poor and toast £1 for two slices of toast from a £1 loaf of supermarket bread. All of this despite having a bakery, butchers and chickens on site. No fresh orange juice. Advertising as a bistro, whilst having to order from counter and pay before delivery, is stretching things a bit. The flies are still there and they seemed more interested than the staff. As we left, we offered a thank you (not sure why) but we were ignored. The shop staff have always been friendly and helpful. Hard to imagine the 'bistro' staff can't do the same course or is it a separate business ? I hope someone there is reading these consistently poor reviews and acting on them but seems not.

We whent here for a family Sunday lunch. I'm not sure what to describe the venue as really!! The feild to the side of the building is great for eating with children as they can run around and burn off energy. I would say more toilets are needed and perhaps a deeper clean. Found the food really expensive for what it was. The choice was very limited, especially as they had no pizzas available. Also no children's menu. Don't think we will be returning any time soon.

Having used the farm shop many times we (a couple) decided to try the bistro for breakfast. Walked in and received no acknowledgment from either of the two people behind the counter. Asked if we could simply sit down at an open table and were told yes, so we proceeded to sit at one of the many available tables, two others were occupied, a group of four or five ladies and a table of three. Waited for 5 minutes, no one approached us so I got up returned to the counter which now had four staff doing various things. Asked for a menu and was told they had a large party in the other room so there were no menus available. No offer was made to find us one so I returned to my seat thinking they would be trying to resolve the issue asap. Diner at the table of three got up and went to ask for menus and one of the staff fetched three menus from the table of ladies who were now receiving their hot drinks. No menu given to us and five minutes later we walked out right past the same counter with no acknowledgment. Loads of flies circling in the restaurant which was off putting anyway, Will not be returning and will use the farm shop a few miles away.

It’s a very odd one! All farm shops are more expensive, it’s a given. They don’t have the buying power of supermarkets. They also champion & support smaller businesses by getting their produce on the shelf. So don’t expect cheap. However I do think £9 for two scotch eggs is a bit much. Yes they are big. But that’s a lot of money in anyone’s terms. But the good news is you don’t have to buy it. It is a choice. The Butchers looks beautiful, honestly it’s a lovely display which they clearly take pride in. The let down is the lack of cleanliness of this place. Flies are a problem everywhere & so are ants. But surely in a place where food is sold & also cooked & prepared for consumption? Surely the emphasis needs to be on clean? Yes it’s a Farm. But it’s also a food shop & an eatery. The Farm label does not excuse dirty. We saw flies crawling inside packs of scones. So we didn’t buy them. All the staff were polite. However I think they could do with support in the guise of cleaning the place up. They are working hard to make everything look good while hundreds of flies buzz around. Flies are attracted by rotten decaying things. Like bacteria. A start would be to scrub out the toilets, scrub the internal floors, eating tables & chairs. And keep them clean. Basic hygiene. The cafe staff look under pressure having little time to wipe a table down. Racing around all the time. Rustic is in vogue. Great. It doesn’t mean you have to give up on hygiene. The presence of security is a bit of a worry. I hope the staff do not experience back lash for the issues. The sad thing is, a good clean up. And a regime of clean would lift this place & put it where it should be. I hope they decide to get to & do it. We have been going there for years. But for now no.

I booked afternoon tea for 10 people for an after-funeral wake/reception yesterday. We arrived a little late (came from Crawley Crem) but staff were waiting to greet us and show us to a beautifully set up area under a canvas cover. It was a lovely setting and the weather was kind. Two picnic-type tables were laid with mismatched china, water and glasswear etc, with spares of napkins and more on another table, with a stack of seating pads too. We asked for two more comfortable chairs for elderly parents and they were brought quickly. The afternoon tea was gorgeous - beautiful large, light and warm scones on cake stands with cream/jam/beautiful strawberries. One scone each first, then the second one arrived warm from the oven. Tea pots and cafetieres were delivered and nothing was too much trouble. After tea, we all ordered a drink from the bar to toast our brother/son/friend on his way. Having been 'in the trade' for many years, I was delighted that the tea was so beautifully and kindly delivered. Would highly recommend The Flower Farm for such a family occasion. Well done to you all!

How bizarre to get rid of coffee options in the name of being a restaurant. Great big unfriendly sign saying the decision is down to the time it takes staff to make corfee. How about training staff faster l, hiring more or getting better equipment? I’ll miss brunch at flower farm and poping in for a coffee and browse in the shop-, no interest without good coffee available- coffee is what the people want! Will be venturing to priory farm in future where nothing is too much for their customers. I get quite a miser feeling visiting flower farm these days. Expensive but not delivering on a full experience = not worth it.

This place was dire, tables all felt sticky and unclean, coffee cups were stained and there were clouds of flies everywhere particularly in the covered area to the loo which when I got there was disgusting, taps were broken and the light didn’t work. The place where they sell the meat and veg was also infested with flies and shelves were unclean . The meat counter had flies buzzing over it . There were no fly killing zappers to be seen. Also frustrating no meat products were priced not that I would have bought it anyway. I realise this is a working farm but I am not aware of any animals being particularly close by to warrant the truly awful fly infestation my horses and dogs poo has less flies on than this awful establishment. Needless to say I shall be in no hurry to return.

Lovely place and lovely food. However the online menu says Build your Breakfast. When I asked to not have mushrooms I was told they couldn't accommodate that. When I asked for scrambled eggs (on the menu) I was told they couldn't do that. Poached? They couldn't do that. Only fried. Any vegan sausages? No we don't do those. Not the best start to build a breakfast or accommodating the customer in a fresh preparation area. When the food eventually arrived it was tasty and well cooked. But more options in other places I'm afraid.

A lovely little spot in cute tea rooms and super popular too. BUT the breakfast was not good at all, so disappointing. I don't really ask for much but I would have preferred scrambled eggs to be cooked a little less so they weren't dry...

Such a shame from what was expected by the prices very disappointing, the coffee was lukewarm and all the cakes dry and tasteless very overpriced. Embarrassing as I took my clients there

We shop regularly at Flower Farm for our fish from the wonderful Stefan and sausages, bacon and chicken from the great guys on the meat counter. I was therefore so disappointed with our first visit to their bistro for breakfast. For a start the service...

We went for breakfast. Service was the slowest breakfast service of any cafe we’ve been to. The food, when it arrived, was fine but service was so slow we had to rush as we had an appointment. Slightly overpriced.

Purchased some items for lunch and dinner such as Gala pie, cheese and potato slices, a steak and ale pie etc. Really disappointed as the deli counter is not cheap. The Gala pie was horrid. Pastry dry, the jelly which came off in a slice...

Extremely poor service and cold food! We sat down and asked for a coffee, an orange juice and water. Despite a reminder, we still had not had any of the drinks after twenty minutes (they didn’t all come until after the breakfast had turned up,...

Nothing gluten free other than a pre-packed chocolate brownie, according to the serving lady! I'll have that then!

Went there for breakfast on a Saturday morning around 11, we were lucky to get a table that had been cleared up, many were not. Ordered one full English, one avocado toast and two coffees, all of which came to around 21 pound. The food...

We just enjoyed a family get-together brunch at the Flower Farm. The 4 stars reflect how helpful the three servers were throughout. They were welcoming and super-helpful - and patient given we were slow to order. The cafe scores a strong 3.5 and could be...

Firstly I would like to say a huge thank you to the waiting staff and baristas in the tea room - it is really understaffed and whilst we were there not one 'manager/ supervisor came in to check and support the very overstretched staff. They...

Popped in for scone, clotted cream and jam. Scone very nice (bit small) but the cream and jam were very miserly. It’s a shame as every else was good.

No prices on meat counter which is a little off putting …. Perhaps butcher decides on price as he sees you. !!! Asked how much were sausages …. He said rather abruptly ELEVEN POUNDS A KILO ! I said I didn’t know how that meant...

The farm shop was excellent especially the butcher where the meat was beautiful and the butcher himself very friendly and helpful, but we decided to have something to eat and a drink which was where everything went down hill. Only 1 vegetarian option which involved...

Ordered a Bruschetta for £8.95 on ‘Artisan’ bread, but it arrived on a plain white slice of what looked like a toasted slice from a Warburtons sliced plain white loaf!! Pointed this out to a waitress who said ‘we don’t use Warburtons’ and left. Must...

Popped into Flower Farm Cafe on Sunday (approx 11:30am) it was clear from the moment we arrived that they were very very busy and short staffed as we were advised that they had paused all orders, including teas, coffees etc due to a backlog in...

Stopped off at 11.15 for coffee and breakfast. Ordered and paid for 3 sausage baps (one gluten free) and one bacon bap. Paid in full, took our seats. 10 mins later told the kitchen was closed and wasn’t now preparing food. This was then qualified...

We browsed the shop first…lovely stuff but very pricey in general, although the free range eggs were good. On to the cafe which suffers from poor if not non/existent management. 3 girls at the serving point, attempting to produce a tray of coffees. No one...

I found Flower Farm online and thought it sounded lovely (not having read the reviews!). We decided to go there for a light lunch in the tea shop. My first impression was that it was OK, but could do with a bit of a clean,...

We visited this resturant morning and the breakfast was absolutely awful. Although the 3 of us requested exactly the same breakfast they only managed to get 2 correct. The breakfast were cold and the rustic bread was sliced sandwich loaf. Nothing rustic about it. We...

Visited as a family after picking berries. Berries are ridiculously overpriced just go to Waitrose! Ordered food and they have a numbered table system. Only downside is the staff don’t ask you the number and wander round aimlessly with your food going cold. Food was...

We got the serving times wrong and arrived late for lunch. The staff went out of their way and served us anyway. The food and drinks were utterly delicious! A very relaxing and friendly atmosphere with great music too. Thanks!!

Third visit and the last now. Owner did not even respond when I greeted him with a " good morning " Cooked breakfast ordered, the bacon was returned as too hard to consume, couldn't find the mushrooms as so tiny . The food and fried eggs were like warm . The owner took my plate when passing from clearing another table and my husband was still eating his food, he then proceeded to lean across my husband to grab his tea cup. The same thing happened on our previous visit. Customer service and common courtesy lacking badly. The owner definitely not happy in his work.

Had a lovely lunch at this beautiful pub. The surroundings are wonderful, the staff were friendly and attentive. Millie's service was great and made our experience perfect for a birthday treat. Highly recommend the Oven Baked Camembert, it was delicious.
