Fodder Cafe in Harrogate

Overall good place for light lunch, however management need to do something about the doorway into cafe. It opens directly into space and because it is in use all the time gives unacceptable draft wherever you are seated within. Spoilt an otherwise nice time. Food wise, always fresh with good selection if somewhat pricey. Last visit our quiche had very little ingredients in the custard….literally had to seek out any bits ham within it did taste nice though. The ploughman’s was particularly good.

Beautiful Beef Sunday lunch, was to die for. I wasn’t expecting it to be this good, we were both blown away by the quality and amount of meat we got. Fabulous lunch we will definitely be back again soon

Visited for lunch. Lovely, tasty food served by friendly staff, in a bright and clean cafe. Would visit again.

Surprisingly long queue on Sunday afternoon, despite there being several empty tables. Service was rather slow but when the afternoon tea arrived it was spectacular! Enough food for four rather than the two it was meant for. I'd rather have smaller portions and a lower price! But they did offer 'doggy bags'!

Great place , been many times. The staff were very friendly. The warmed cheese scone was the best I've had, delicious. The cakes were amazing, a very enjoyable visit.

Yet again another fabulous meal at fodder. The beef pie was simply great. Full of meat and veg in a nice flavoured sauce, served with sour cabbage. The quiche just melts in the mouth. Too marks for the chef. The customer service was good with polite and helpful staff.

Great breakfast with plenty to choose from.Local suppliers . All delicious from bacon sandwich or healthy options to full English . Great service, nothing too much trouble .

Delicious food made with good quality ingredients. Friendly , welcoming staff. I never feel rushed so it is a great place to take friends.

The burger with cheese and onion and a portion of chips ! Just love the food from the streamline outside just the best !

We discovered Fodder by chance today as we we were stopping at the Sainsbury’s for petrol. A really worthwhile discovery of a farm shop and farm cafe. Good efficient service and great home cooked food and baked goods. Well worth a visit if you are in the area

I love Fodders and think it’s a great venue. Sadly last few times the food has not been great. The quiche has a scrambled egg texture and really not pleasant. Today I had a steak and blue cheese sandwich. The steak (small amount) was nice as was the cheese however it was on soggy bread covered in tinned tomato and Luke warm. Such a shame.

The thing i like about Fodder is they use the best ingredients,cook and present them well and dont try to fluff it up to be something it isnt in order to charge more. Staff very friendly and helpful,service quick,excellent value for money. Faultless !

Tasty, delicious food served promptly and staff all courteous and friendly. Toilets accessible for me as I am disabled.

Excellent range of local produce at reasonable prices- showcasing the best of regional products. Great to be able to support independent retailers

Excellent service amazing food staff very helpful food arrived nice and warm lovely local produce lovely view over the fields

Good choice of locally-sourced products, excellent eating place, very helpful and considerate staff. Highly recommended.

The restaurant and shop staff are so warm and friendly. The food is excellent. Spacious, family friendly with an excellent little play area for young children outside. A real treat to visit.

Very poor food choice for a coeliac on a Sunday. They did find him a gf quiche and what they call a salad. No cue, no tomato. I had a v tough burger, over cooked wedges and again some limp lettuce leaves they called a...

Fodder goes from bad to worse in my opinion the cafe I mean,first of all who thought of the nutty stand outside in the cold to queue for a table?I've never queued there I enter from the shop but won't go back.The shop although massively...

We arrived at Fodder and we were greeted with, you should have used the other door. The cafe was half full. The staff member took my friends hand and led us to a table, most inappropriate. The side door was open and it was cold...

We were given a voucher for the afternoon tea as a present and decided to use it recently. You get a choice of two from four sandwiches plus savoury and sweet treats. We were given one small plate and one set of cutlery for everything,...

Great farm shop with big cafe. Good breakfast choice , food is top quality, sausage excellent so extremely filling , will totally set you up for the day

Fodder staff are very helpful and friendly serving the best Yorkshire produce both in the cafe and the shop. After one visit you will not want to shop anywhere else!

Lovely ambience Friendly and helpful staff High quality products on sale particularly the butchers counter

Good lunch served by really nice people. Good farm shop especially the butchery. Plenty of parking and a nice terrace if the sun shines.

Had Sunday lunch (roast lamb with the trimmings). My wife just fancied a scone and jam but nothing was too much trouble. The food was superb and Hayley our server did a great job. If you have not eaten at Fodders before, we highly recommend...

Perfect venue for family meet. Excellent service. Good coffee and food. Sit outside and your kids can play while you relax.

We’re regulars to both shop for food and eat. The food served is always fresh and good and often delicious, breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea. It’s handy for dog walking (they’re very welcome on the terrace) and has plentiful parking. We use it as our...

I love the products both quality and range, the staff are always very lovely, I just wish I lived closer so I could visit more regularly

Best breakfast in Harrogate. Served wonderfully hot & using the best local ingredients. Just fabulous.

Just love Fodder we are very lucky to have such a place to eat and shop , the staff especially make it a very friendly relaxed atmosphere We normally come for breakfast and one a month use to have breakfast with friends 😋

Wonderful service, wonderful atmosphere . The locally sourced food and goods are first class and it's difficult to find anything it the area to compare.

I LOVE the homemade quiche! Love the salads, alway The staff are awesome, always happy to amend when u don’t eat tomatoes. Hayley is always happy & cheerful.

Bought a fillet and rib eye steak fir the BBQ. Sadly neither had any taste. I think they are the most disappointing steaks we have ever purchased

Friendly helpful staff, lovely environment and great products. Also love the free piece of fruit for the children initiative as my children keep asking to go back as a result!

Staff are always so very helpful knowledgeable friendly and attentive. Clearly you only choose the best 👌

Great for different types of products. They now sell the spelt pasta that I have been buying online! Love the meat counter with their friendly chaps on hand to help with cuts of meat for a Sunday roast

lovely food, good selection, very attentive and professional staff - beautiful surroundings and of course the 'farmers' shop to browse afterwards

I adore going here on a sunny day. They do delicious food and it’s lovely to sit outside looking out at the fields to eat. I love the shop with all of its local produce too; I can never resist popping in after I have...

I visit Fodders once a week to buy fresh food - fruit, eggs, veg, meat and bread. All first class quality and good value for money. Exceptional customer service from all staff from the moment I walk through the door to when I leave. Friendly,...

Always a cheery welcome from the staff. The shop always looks colourful and inviting with lovely fresh produce. We always feel valued as customers, thank you!

Always excellent service here, and I find the butchers to be especially good. Really proactive, really friendly. Quality is always very high, and they've some interesting homeware bits which make nice gifts. I make a point of stopping here when I'm in the area, and...

Highly Recommended for breakfast and shopping for quality food. Great service too. Their scrambled eggs are superior to most, throw in a couple of rashers of bacon and a slice of toast or two and, well I'm drooling just thinking of it.....!!!

Good value and good quality with beautiful views of the Yorkshire countryside. Fodders is my favourite cafe in Harrogate.

Ashton Bentley has made me one of the best cheeseburgers I've ever tasted. And I've been around the world twice ! Eaten scores of these, but.......this was the best. Kudos Ashton

Our visit this time was, spoilt due to que in the rain for 20minutes - under cover just - the annoying thing was watching about 6 or 7 tables with people just using the restaurant as a coffee lounge - just with a cuppa -...

Staff always helpful and friendly, good quality produce, not a 10 because you are a little bit pricey.

Tracy is an absolute credit to fodder so positive, informative and a delight ... she has always guided us to the best produce and offered us the Fodder loyalty card.. thank you ... also Philipa was lovely too ...love your ethics and look forward to...

Great experience talking to your butchers. Really friendly and helpful. Gave me advice on cuts and cooking times. Will definitely return.

The variety and quality of the meat and other products are the best. The meat choice and quality are superb. The cafe is brilliant, just wish you could get a Bacon or Sausage sandwich all day.

Afternoon tea at Fodder was amazing! We went for my birthday and we were very glad we did. They managed to get the perfect balance of sweet and savoury! It’s good value for money and the staff are happy to provide a box so you...

I love this shop, the produce is excellent and Fantastic value for money and the staff are so helpful and friendly.

Probably Harrogate's best breakfast, but get your order in before 11:30! All food served is top quality.

Really friendly helpful staff & great products. Butchery and cheese counters are especially good. Good range of local gins too!

I always rate fodder highly and in general have a great experience. As it is mother's day the restaurant was very busy. It took over 25 minutes to be served, the only reason a waitress came over to us was because we had stood up...

The staff are always friendly and helpful and there is always a great variety of produce ! The cafe is welcoming and has a great choice too

Hate to leave a bad revue but…. Staff - the girl serving needs to learn how to smile, was not rude but certainly could learn to be a little more polite Food - breakfast was mediocre and very disappointing given the price. Bacon seemed undercooked...

Had full breakfast £11 but portion very small, fruit scone was good size but £4.50 😅 all very average but expensive, won’t recommend it

What lovely staff. Everyone, from the waitresses who served us a very yummy breakfast (rosti with spinach and egg) to the young chap who was on the till when I purchased an extremely tasty, locally made, pork pie was polite, friendly and just generally cheerful....

I go to Fodder rather frequently as it’s reasonably priced, the food is amazing and the staff are all so lovely. I couldn’t recommend the place more!

Great service - pleasant staff - very clean - food excellent and good value - very nice surroundings with pleasant views over farmland

Fodder sells a nice selection of food and gifts and it is in a nice location. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. The coffee caravan outside with outside seating is great when you have a dog.

Wonderful local food! (Even managed to get fresh food from the Hebrides!!) Lovely staff! Really easy to get to. Lovely walks nearby, especially with dogs.

Excellent locally produced food. Service prompt and efficient. Very good disabled access and facilities.

We love the cafe/restaurant. Staff here and in the shop are always so helpful. Always finding crayons for my little girl whilst she waits for her mini breakfast. We visit as a treat :)

I go in every week and it’s always a pleasure. The products are displayed beautifully. Every member of staff are super polite and helpful

Lovely friendly staff who are so welcoming and excellent coffee. Absolutely delicious scones - highly recommended! My go to place to meet a friend.

Shopping at fodders is always a pleasure, a large variety of products from fresh food to gift ware , friendly and knowledgeable staff are always on hand too . There is plenty of parking available too and of course tasty treats to enjoy on site...

Friendly staff , excellent food . Good service . Everything was lovely ,thank you . Look forward to our next Friendly staff , excellent food . Good service . Everything was lovely ,thank you . Look forward to our next visit .

Nice friendly staff in the cafe and shop, really good food and fast service , all at a good price, I would recommend fodder

Locally supplied food and well presented. From breakfast to lunch and afternoon teas. Good coffee and tea with other choices available. We keep going back so that should say how good it is .

Enjoyed delicious hot chocolate and Bonfire cake on a cold November day whilst watching kites soaring and swooping over the fields and woodland opposite. Friendly, attentive staff.

We have been coming to Fodder for many years. Took my Mum today and we were expected to queue..yes, that's fine but gad to queue outside in the cold and damp...I went to the door and asked if my elderly mother could sit inside until...

You have good variety of products. The prices are really good. The meat products are really good and cheap.

Everything is right. The staff are polite and competent. There are no long waits. The food is excellent with something for everyone. The restaurant is light and spacious, the toilet facilities clean and pleasant. I really can't find anything negative to say. I wish there...

Fantastic cafe with very nice coffee and cakes. Farm shop is good value for money with lots to choose from.

I have emailed Fodder and the response I got was typically dismissive which was pretty much the same service we got in the store. Rude Café staff, cake was dry and inedible oh and don't expect to be able to simply order hot food ten...

Everything about fodder is fantastic but i believe your prices are beginning to get to a level whereby they are out of reach to some of your customers. Be careful once you have lost them it will be difficult to get them back 🤔🤔

Great local farmers produce served by a great team. Always friendly, helpful and authentic. Particularly accommodating when have the dog with us.

.I love the cheese counter with its very varied range - including lots of local cheeses and a knowledgable salesperson. And at the check-out, the young man who served me - I think his name is Jack - was delightful and SO helpful. He always...

Love the cafe, especially for a Sunday brunch after Harrogate Junior parkrun, and it's always great to be able to pick up some quality groceries as well.

Saturday lunch. Two childrens lunch boxes arrived with Labourer style sandwiches. No other way to describe them really. Hardly suited to small children, not value just waste. Ham and crusts not trimmed, not well presented. A teeny tiny triangle of flap Jack, yoghurt drink and...

This was my first visit and won't be my last. Had a lovely lunch, good choice on menu for adults and children. Very generous portions and the coronation chicken was tasty and piled high. Shop has such a variety and staff very helpful especially Jack...

Great farm shop, great selection of fresh produce, veg and meat. Range of chilled meals as well as lots of cakes!

This is a great place to stop on the outskirts of Harrogate , just at the entrance to the showground. it has good parking, a lovely restaurant and extensive farm shop with on-site-made and local foods. There is a lot of gluten free choice for...

Visited here on our last morning visiting Harrogate - excellent full Yorkshire breakfast to send us on our way home to kent - thank you

This is a very accessible shop with plenty of parking space and a great cafe. It stocks a wide range of Yorkshire produce and goods and the staff are always friendly and knowledgeable .

Excellent products both in the shop and cafe. Knowledgeable, friendly staff. Many local artisan foods and gift items.

Amazing bacon buttie from On The Hoof. Plus even better bacon & fried egg one! Delicious! Lovely service too, a real pleasure. Highly recommend 😀

Lovely and clean, the food and produce is amazing. Staff very friendly and helpful. The afternoon tea looked amazing but unfortunately we didn’t her a chance to have one as we only made a quick stop here for a drink and snack but I would...

Friendly, relaxing, welcoming cafe and shop. Delicious and excellent quality food. I’ve been loads of times and loved everything I’ve brought. The staff are all wonderful

Fodder’s Sunday lunch has always been the best, we’ve tried many. We were late, so there was no queue, plus it was quiet. Price increase (fair enough), but portions definitely smaller than they were, but still delicious. Service good and friendly as always.

We enjoyed breakfast sandwiches again from on the hoof. It is something we do regularly while we’re out for a walk. Always fresh tasting from quality ingredients.

Excellent service and good food. The cafe is our regular coffee/lunch stop and we always pick up some nice things in the food hall.

Friendly helpful staff, great quality produce, attractive display. There is also a very good cafe adjacent to the shop.

My husband and I went to Fodder yesterday for Sunday lunch. The dinner was delicious apart from the meat which were two very thin slices. On previous occasions we have always had thick slices. Maybe it was a one off as other people appeared to...

We were recommended Fodders for our breakfast by relatives who live in the area. It was excellent! Enough choice on the menu for all tastes and generous tasty portions. Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. We would definitely visit again if we were in the area.

We attended the Yorkshire Show and after a six-and-a-half drive from Devon were ready to eat, so went to Fodder. We were presented with menus with a good range of dishes, but when we ordered, were told that none was available, except cheese scones. Overall,...

One of the tastiest and fresh burgers I have tried in a while. The burger came in a brioche bun and thick cut chips and coleslaw. My other half had rarebit which was also tasty. Service was fab too.

The quality of the products is great and wide ranging - the meat is simply the best and your butchers have lots of imagination whilst always retaining old favourites. Most important of course is that every member of your team make us feel valued -...
