Glebe Farm Shop & Tea Room in Kettering

Me and two friends went for just some cake and coffee. I called up a day before to book a table on a Sunday and was told we didn’t need to book for just cakes. When we arrived we where told they only have people for roast dinner on Sundays and I explained about the phone call, so he sat us down about 20mins after we got our cake and coffee we where told we had to leave in 5 minutes as they had somebody coming in for the table we had to leave without finishing our drinks or cake and paid full price. This was absolutely disgusting behaviour and a waste of money

Had roast dinner and was very impressed. Nice selection of vegetables but not too much. Lovely desserts too.

First time here for afternoon tea today thanks to treat from my friend Jane for my birthday, it was all delicious and well presented.

Love this spot - been going there for years :)

Been a few times it's very expensive and I always seem to be on the 🚽 toilet afterwards for an hour or two 😑

We had a voucher for afternoon tea and ordered a take away. It was absolutely delicious and so fresh. The tray was impeccably laid out and had a varied choice of sandwiches, savoury pastries and cakes. Also we had a choice of scones to choose from. We settled on fruit and had a small pot of jam and a tub of cream. We even had some tea bags!! All in all it was wonderful and we will definitely be ordering a takeaway tea again. Well done to the staff and thank you.

We booked in for afternoon tea today (27/9) I have to say that it was absolutely scrumptious and the whole experience was superb! The table setting was very well presented, the sandwiches, the savoury selection and the cakes were so delicious! We were even given the option of fruit, cheese or raspberry and almond scones! The staff were attentive and made sure we had plenty of tea and coffee - Thank you to all of the team at the tea room for a lovely experience! If you haven’t been, we highly recommend visiting!

Was brought here on my birthday for afternoon tea which was wonderful. The view out the window was very picturesque. We did have to wait a while for the food to be prepared but it was so worth the wait, everything was fresh and tasty. We were quite late in the afternoon and the choice of scones was limited so we chose one of each and shared so we all had a taste of each and I can honestly say they were all delicious. My only criticism would be the tiny cups of coffee one cup is included in the price but it's so small and needed to order a second cup. I would definitely recommend coming here.

Slow service, average food. When we ordered, they asked for upfront payment but refused to tell us how long the wait was for what we ordered. We waited for nearly 40 minutes. If you're on route, it's not worth the wait. The view however is lovely.

Fantastic place. Lovely scenery food Fantastic

Was very busy, and the food was lovely and hot

We visited the farm shop for lunch today But We will not go back The staff was very rude

Lovely little place to eat. Took my girls for an afternoon tea. Arrived and told there would be a wait of around 20-25 minutes...not bad...even better when we were sat 10 minutes later! Bonus! I ordered an afternoon tea for myself and wanted 2 little glebe lunches, yes it states for 12 and under, however, I have a very fussy 17yo and was told very rudely by our waitress that no she can't have it, we are very strict on our policy and there is no movement or leeway. Fair enough, but when informing her that my 17yo is fussy again she said no we are very strict, no sorry or apology given. I get there is an age limit, but working in hospitality myself, I know there can be some discretion given. The lady was rude, dismissive and just felt like she didn't want to be there. And this came across in the way we were spoken to. I would visit again as the food was fresh and delicious. You can see the care and love within the food served. Well done to the kitchen team. Younger servers were helpful and smiley so this helped the experience a little.

Good views, ordered a panini but gave the wrong order. When I challenged this and they said nothing, I accepted the order but asked for the chips that were due with my order, this was given. Later, told, they put the wrong order through and I now had to pay for the chips they gave. Also told no coleslaw available which comes with our order. They should have checked and looked into the order then, rather than wait for us to finish and charge us extra. Just not very nice.

Hidden gem! Stunning views of the rolling hills and excellent service despite being a little slow. The brunch menu is extensive, with great options. But, I highly recommend the smoked salmon and scrambled egg bagel.

Visited with my family for an early lunch yesterday. We all had different things and everyone left satisfied. My partner was especially impressed with the jacket potato, labelling it one of the best things she has ever put in her mouth. All in all this is a great spot close to Kettering and Rothwell with great access to the A14

We visited Glebe Farm Tearooms and thoroughly enjoyed our time there the food was good and worth the trip there. Based on that we decided to buy gift voucher for afternoon tea for our friends, unfortunately this was not a good experience. After waiting too long for the voucher to arrive I contacted the office who said there was nobody there on Monday but would call me around 9am on Tuesday, once it got to 11 am no calk so contacted again. The young woman I spoke clearly would gave preferred not to take the call. No apology for delay just said it was still pending no help to me, after I pushed she said she would take the voucher and post that day which she did and I received the next day. The overcharge on postage and attitude was not acceptable. So I would not use this service again but Hooe our friends enjoy a lovely afternoon tea.

brilliant food and lovely staff. we had the afternoon tea.

Stopped off on the way to Norfolk. Very busy when we arrived at lunchtime, but once inside it was easy to see why it is so popular. Good food in generous portions. Very pleasant surroundings, with tables spread with a good distance between them Lovely outdoor seating area overlooking rolling countryside.

Hi I'm a local guide and staff front of house are so friendly and helpful, I went with my parents for a catch up home made cakes, outside views are stunning cant personally remember the junction of the A14 going west bound big round about going east bound towards Kettering other wise west bound doesn't take hgvs

Lovely breakfast - busier than I expected at 9.45 on a cold Sunday morning! Service was great and all the staff were friendly and helpful. I took my elderly mum with me and the staff were very considerate, opening doors to enable her walker without being asked and checking that she was ok. Will definitely go back there again

Have been here on many occassions, never once had cause to complain. Staff are attentive without being overbearing, all food I have eaten has been excellent, service is also excellent. Would highly recommend Glebe Farm.

Having had previous good experiences here before, I was looking forward to breakfast this morning. It was only once we had been seated we were advised that there were no sausages (most breakfast items on the menu include sausage). No bother, not the end of the world so settled for a breakfast bap and asked, taking into account there would be no sausage and expected to pay the same price I politely requested mushrooms as a replacement. Wow, what total game changer. Staff became passively rude and through gritted teeth we were presented with our food....minus drinks which we had still not received. I reluctantly paid and again could feel our presence was not welcome (I assume because of small request of mushrooms). The food is overpriced however I am happy to pay the extra for a pleasant environment and customer experience both of which were severely lacking on this occasion. For this reason I will not be returning.

Very obliging, friendly staff, as always a beautiful setting. They made just an ordinary sandwich into something special. First class

Made it. Easy to find and parking. Packed. It was just a stop of on route to Norwich. Coffee and cake, they do Sunday lunch, but advice is book before hand.

I met two friends here today, our first visit. Our name was taken and we were told two other groups were ahead of us for a table. We waited. More people arrived. And more. After 45 minutes, we were told we had a table, then told no, someone else was getting it. Then, with no apology, that once seated, there would be a 30 minute wait for food. Then, a group of two got a table even though we were next. At that point, we left. The attitude was dreadful on top of the disorganisation. We won’t be bothering again. We decamped to the nearby Brewers Fare where we received a warm welcome and a lovely meal.

Always good but very busy.... £12.99 for the brunch breakfast - tea / coffee extra..... Onsite parking available.... If you haven't booked expect a 20min wait.... Great views in the summer if you sit outside...

Great food ,great service ,great people big thank U to the wonderful lady Jennifer she's amazing, always smiling and brightened my day

My 2 daughters and I, my granddaughter and my Daughter in law came in today for an afternoon tea. Firstly the view from the window is stunning, secondly the food was fresh, tasty and lots of it. It was the perfect afternoon tea session and we all very much enjoyed it. I will be bringing people again as it was so lovely. Thank you very much indeed

Visited today for afternoon tea. It states on the afternoon tea menu online that you can have luxury afternoon tea including china tableware, on Saturdays after 2.30pm. However on arrival another table was being set up for luxury afternoon tea. The service was very basic, a drink was missed from the order which I had to ask for when the food arrived. I’ve visited numerous times before and really enjoyed coming but this time was a lot different.

Please don't get me wrong the food was very well cooked & tasted lovely but I had a full breakfast with black pudding £1 extra & a large latte & all I got was a pound coin change out of a £20 note . Apart from tasting nice it wasn't piled high or cooked by Gordon Ramsey so when did things become so so so expensive. I really think you need to check your price's. Other things on the menu like a toasted sandwich £10, maybe it's me because ss people say it's always busy at weekends !!

Excellent place for a meal 👍, but get there early as it gets very busy, will definitely go again.

Just popped in for coffee and cake. Very nice

Has to be one of the best places I have visited for both breakfast and lunch. I have been many times. They also have parking available which is free. Service is always fantastic and food is amazing. One place that I’ve never had a bad experience from. Keep it up! The views are amazing from the place too

Fabulous sunday lunch with the family. Food outstanding. Super staff

Sunday Lunch was one of the best we have had. Definitely be going again.

We will most definitely come here again! Me and my friends have had many afternoon teas through the years but I think this has become our all time favourite! We pre-booked so we got the upgraded version as it was for a birthday, and we were so impressed. The place was so lovely and the table was dressed so nicely, the food was delicious and there was so much of it! Anything we couldn't finish we were asked if we wanted to take home. It was so lovely we stayed for hours and didn't realise the place was empty and the staff were so lovely they just started to clean up and let us chat! Thank you for a lovely experience and for making my friends birthday lovely.

We visited Glebe Farm in Kettering today for afternoon tea as it was my birthday. It was so busy there but as we had booked a table we were taken straight in. The food was gorgeous and you could not fault the service. I would highly recommend this venue and will certainly be returning. Oh and the cost, £20 per person. Well worth every penny.

Great atmosphere, great prices, and delicious food

Was busy and service was a little slow

We thought we'd give Glebe Farm a go for our group Christmas lunch and we were delighted. All the staff were very helpful to the visually impaired guests and all our orders were correctly prepared. The roast turkey was lovely and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food, especially the vegetarian selection. But the desserts...I wished I'd chosen pavlova when I saw it but the lemon and raspberry mousse was incredible. The ginger and pistachio shortbread should be sold in Harrods! Beautifully presented but beyond delicious. The gang certainly never want to go anywhere else. Ever again.

We had a lovely afternoon with our friends, the meatless carvery was delicious and the pavlova looked amazing and tasted great, really good portions, excellent customer service, a lovely Christmas atmosphere 🎅🎄🌻💛🌈

Having been referred by a friend I visited this tea room with my son and we had the fruit scone cream tea. Oh my goodness! Absolutely wonderful! Having lived in Devon and enjoying cream teas there, I can say that Glebe Farm's cream tea is very good indeed! A warm relaxing environment with friendly staff, excellent service, with a nice view when sitting out back. I would definitely recommend! 😋

Terrible service ( actually no service) so we walked out. It’s like we weren’t even there and it wasn’t busy ! Such a shame , won’t be back I’m afraid.

Lovely tea room and great views

Really lovely food, very pleasant staff. Just perfect. Desserts really scrumptious. Well worth a visit. Been here countless times, thzt says it all really.

They made access to the shop easy with my powered wheelchair.0

As usual busy. Had a thoroughly enjoyable bruch, Great service and food in a lovely room. Highly recommended

An unfailingly excellent food experience. High quality produce cooked with care and some flair. Good size portions. Service warm, friendly and efficient- without ever being intrusive.

Highly enjoyable eating/breakfast experience at Glebe farm. I’ve never seen a place so busy on a Saturday morning ! The service was (expectedly) slow and is reflected in the rating. The food was excellent (I enjoyed the breakfast bap) as was the Vanilla latte. It was a rather wet & misty day when I visited, but I imagine the sweeping vistas across the North Northants Country Countryside outside while having your breakfast would be stunning. Highly recommended.

Very tasty, great quality produce.

Still amazing food and drink. Panini's and chips and battered chicken sweet chilli salad with sauteed potato are a level above other places. Milkshakes are thick and tasty. Deserts and cakes are gorgeous and homemade. And the location is just off A14 of course.

Would highly recommend the Sunday roast it was absolutely delicious.

A very busy place - best to book - but found us a lovely seating area for delicious scones and hot drinks. Service was friendly and efficient - not intrusive. Only one thing - no blue badge parking that we could see, which made crossing the gravel interesting for my husband, who has some walking difficulties. Otherwise great place for a cuppa or lunch at a very reasonable price..

Delicious lunch, great selection of breakfast, brunch and lunch options. Lovely cakes and tray bakes to eat in or takeaway

Good lunch stop for light bites. Full of 'Ladies that lunch' All food cooked to order so don't be impatient.

The tea room was busy and full when we arrived, the lady greeting us took our name, it didn't take too long to wait for a table. The milkshake was gorgeous made with fresh strawberries, the food arrived fairly quickly. It was hot, tasty and well presented and a decent price point. There isn't a farm shop which is a little disceptive, but the view is stunning and staff efficent, would definitely visit again

Nice meal for the meat eaters but take care ordering the vegetarian option for Sunday dinner - despite the menu online showing the vegetarian option was a tart or alternative this wasn’t served and not available.

Completely, wow nicely surprised perfect breakfast and club sandwich, brilliant service very friendly staff nothing was to much trouble well done.

This is a great stop off, just off the A14 with lovely views over open countryside to enjoy whilst eating. Breakfast is really good, reasonably priced and staff are friendly. We always stop here enroute to Suffolk. Only downside is coffee isn't the best, but maybe that is just our personal preference.

Afternoon Tea is a wonderful experience at this farm , we turned up early but was showing to our table straight away , the table was set up with old fashion crockery and tea pot . The sandwiches, cakes , savoury are excellent quality and all baked at the farm , value for money is excellent, plus you have a lovely view of the countryside of Northamptonshire

This has a really cozy atmosphere and has a lot of options for gluten free! I had the scrambled eggs and smoked salmon on a gluten free bap, the food was lovely and well seasoned. I also had an oat milk latte which was also very nice. My order was taken swiftly and the food and drink did not take long to arrive. They also had a very nice selection of cakes and I got a gluten free one to take home with me. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Would recommend going to a pleasant meal or a nice coffee and cake.

Great food. Large portions. Just took a while to assign a delivery driver.

We have been coming a while, my dad and I who ordered the Eggs Bennedict without bacon. Dads eggs are pefect everytime. How do you do that??? The staff are helpful and smiley, I have read a couple of other reviews and to me they havent stopped at the same place. This place is a Little Diamond and we will continually come weekly and enjoy the food and take a sneaky cake as you leave for afternon tea. You wont regret it! And just a quick point, if you have any issues on the day, tell the staff immediately so they can sort if. Dont go home and became a key board warrier, as that is just not nice and stop hidying byhind he keyboard to make mean comments. I thank you????

Although we live relatively locally this morning was my first visit to Glebe Farm Tea Room for breakfast with a friend. We arrived early and sat outside overlooking the lovely view across the valley. We both ordered the vegetarian full breakfast which was delicious, a nice full plate of varied food - we were both too full to finish it all. Our breakfast was freshly cooked, eggs to your choice, not greasy at all. As we left people were queuing to enter. The cake selection looked fabulous, so we’ll definitely return asap for coffee and cake. Staff very friendly, would definitely recommend.

Somw food missing. Food that arrived just wasn't nice... Sandwiches were tasteless, cake was dry, quiche was literally all onion, half a strawberry and a rock hard scone... Not what you expect for almost £25

Best lunch I've had in along time, food was great 👍

A very friendly and accommodating venue, with a great atmosphere and scenic view. It is welcoming to people of all abilities, which is good to see. We were unhurried with our cups of tea, despite it approaching lunchtime. Perhaps staff guessed from our garb we were about to attend a funeral at the nearby crematorium. If so it was thoughtful of them to be so accommodating.

This was our first visit to Glebe farm and tea room we were on a first Date Such a lovely place to visit Beautiful setting Really nice inside the tea rooms Staff were lovely Our Sunday lunch was beautiful i had the roast pork and my friend had the roast beef which was delicious had to wait a few mins before deciding what we were having for pudding as quite full from our main course After eating we went and sat outside with a pot of tea to admire the beautiful setting where Glebe Farm and Tea Rooms are situated

We were travelling between Lancs and Essex and wanted somewhere to take a break. We fancied a change to the usual services. This was lovely stop. I would be tempted to book next time. We got a table but it was busy and they were turning people away. À friendly welcome a range of specials and the menu was varied.

Food delicious just found it quite expensive Nice treat

The food was tasty but I had one small piece of toast for the cost I didn't think this was good value for money. I asked for another slice and was charged for the additional piece. To add to futher disappointment the waitress was not...

Myself and my partner visited this evening for the valentines evening, excellent customer service from the ladies out front and amazing food! Would definitely recommend & would return for another themed evening.

Outstanding food and portion size

First time ordering from yourself .. WOW good was amazing . Ordered the afternoon tea for one .. 3 finger sandwiches where fresh and perfect amount of filling..the 2 little pastry's were very far from dry, tasted like a fresh bake 😋.perfect choice on the quiche for me .. scone also with clotted cream and the cutest little pot of jam amazing.. couldn't manage the carrot cake and cherry Bakewell cake but the kids said they where really good as well ...there's definitely more than enough for 1 person.. will definitely be ordering again ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I wanted to treat my wife to Sunday lunch out, as we have not done this for a while. Any let's just say if it was not not for the wonderful food served the whole visit would have been an absolute disaster. As the service...

I thought the food quality and the attention to detail was 10/10!! The fry up was perfect and probably the best I've ever had in my life. The homemade rocky road cheesecake was also just out of this world, again 10/10. I cant rate this...

My wife and I visited today and due to my wife's allergies, she decided to play safe with a Tuna & Cheese toastie. ( I had the Sirloin Ciabatta, lovely) Catherine the server was extremely helpful, and asked what allergies we had. We explained bell...

Little disappointed in the size going by the picture I assumed the afternoon tea was for 2 but it was for 1 still great quality and really enjoyed it 😊

Lovely breakfast, really good quality sausages especially!

The food is not worth the price, £11 for a sandwich you expect good quantity or excellent quality, this was neither, shop bought cheap bread, not toasted, chicken out of a packet, padded out with salad and crisps but nothing special enough to justify the price, if you season the chips they had potential to be nice but arrived sweaty after being in a plastic container, in general very overpriced I wouldn’t be upset if it was more in the £6-£7 range.

Lovely quality food. I really enjoyed this. So glad we can get food delivered from you. Can’t wait for our next delivery 🤤

Great sandwiches, with crisps and a fresh salad.

Excellent portion sizes, the jacket potato was lovely and loaded with cheese. The coleslaw was lovely and the salad was fresh and the beans were hot enough when it arrived. I paid for the order at 12:31 and the food arrived slightly over an hour later which is slightly longer than I would have liked but was worth the wait.

My friend and I visited on Thursday morning. We were seated near the log burner so we’re warm and comfortable. My friend had a full English breakfast and I had a bacon and mushroom omelette with granary toast both washed down with a couple of...

Had a great breakfast here, lovely environment with smashing views, reasonable price, friendly staff and the breakfast was cooked to perfection!! Nice one 👍🏻

After trying the breakfast which was delicious we decided to come back for the afternoon tea. Wonderful, delicious, the best. The palace has a wonderful view, the nicest and helpful service. Just the best.

This was by far the best jacket potato beans and cheese ever! I was feeling really hungry so opted for an additional side and it did not disappoint!! Such great value for money, yummy food, delightful staff and all round great experience. Would highly recommend...

The English Breakfast - fresh, tasty, just perfect. The service is very nice and patient. The place is clean and tidy and has wonderful view. We and my parents are happy we chose the Glebe Farm Tea Room. After last day bad experience in a...

Quality, Price, Customer Service (from ALL staff met) and Presentation shows this establishment is at the top of its game. Excellent, well done to you all.

We had afternoon tea here yesterday and it was absolutely fabulous. Everything was so fresh and a lovely mixture of sweet and savoury and you had a choice of scones. The staff were very helpful and friendly . We can't wait to go back .

Great breakfast, lots of staff BIG tables quick polite service 5*

This is a delightful place for afternoon tea, in addition to the breakfast reviewed here. Service is provided by friendly and helpful staff who are unobtrusively attentive. The setting is excellent, too, with spotlessly clean dining spaces and a cracking countryside view. The good range...

Great food. Lovely setting. The only criticism, we wanted to sit outside so placed an order inside and when an outside table became empty we quickly moved to an outside table. The waiting staff found it hard to transfer our order to an outside table. Just a little jobsworth. Other than that excellent food.
