Glebe Farm in Cheshire East

We deliberately didn't take lunch with is as we know that's not allowed! Went to cafe which was all open, signs out, etc decided what to have and then was, quite rudely, told kitchen was shut! At 2.30pm??!! No explanation, no alternative. Very poor!! Would not recommend or return!!

All the family loved it here free entrance free parking, great food

We visited the cafe for breakfast, the menu choice was great , our food was prompt and staff were very friendly 👌 we will definitely be returning . Thank you

Great place to take the kids. Feeding the animals at a small cost is a lovely experience for them. Some very nice retail units with a quality butcher.

Fabulous experience from 1 to 99 years old and it's free!! Donkeys Alpacas sheep pigs Shetland pony peacocks and many more animals to pet and feed. An aviary with parrots budgies golden pheasant and others.. Meerkats, small playground 1-10. Wash hands stations.. Farm shop with excellent range of food. Cafe.. Ice cream.. Arty shops and others. Great place to spend a couple of hours with little ones. And maybe spend some money too. Been loads kids always love it.

A bit conflicted on this place - don’t get me wrong it’s lovely with a nice variety of kid friendly activities and shops. It’s just that I’d far prefer the butchers and deli to be on the High Street. As it is they are both decent places to get good meat, local beer and spirits and for a more quality orientated shop. Butcher’s can get you most things with notice - personally I’d like a bit more variety as a walk-up customer but understand their constraints.

My Husband and I visited on 17.04.25. What an excellent place to visit. The farm animals were all so friendly. We had lunch in the cafe. I can honestly say the food was amazing especially the steak pie. We also brought steaks from the butchers shop. Admitted we thought they we a bit expensive, but I have to say the were amazing. Definitely we will visited again Well Done Glebe Farm

It was a fabulous place to visit, and our granddaughter loved it. It's free entry and everything was reasonably priced inside. We bought feed bags, which were only £1 each,with which to feed the various farm animals. There's a little playground for children, we took a tractor ride around the farm(only £1 each again)and there's plenty of little shops there too. It's incredibly good value and a lovely trip out for children.

Love this place ...ice cream n a look at the animals...brilliant

Nothing to do and the prices of food / ice cream are ridiculously expensive!

All the animals were so delightful to watch. There were two new born lambs which were adorable. Whilst most of the farms had paid tickets, this one was free of charge which was best. Additionally the cafe had the best oatcakes, good ice-cream and also fresh meat if you wanted to take back home 🏠

Nice place for a quick reasonable day out parking available but not a lined car park but acceptable cafe reasonable

Fantastic place, lots to see and do, feed the animals and cafe👌🏼

Great for the three grandchildren

Lovely place. Great grandchildren love the animals and play Area. The food in the cafe is great but avoid peak times. Great range of shops too.

Animals are cute, the animal food is reasonable price the livestock at the front of the farm are well groomed and clean ones in the back paddocks might as well be roaming free for all the attention they appear to have. shop is a bit of a mixed bag some products reasonably priced even more are very expensive usually the local companies who think they have a premium product. Love the small independent stores Cafe your met with a wait here sign and staff will seat you unfortunately no staff available to do that the café is very expensive with poor customer service the footfall was steady and the females behind the counter looked to be struggling you expect this at major attractions not so at the local farm shop especially when they encourage people to do fitness sessions on site. That said cafe was busy with families who where making regular return trips. It's popular place but not with me.

Lovely little farm. Free entry. Bags of carrots or feed for £1.

Gorgeous farm. Lovely and friendly staff especially the young girl working with the animals. Great organisation and I loved the independent shops and the little park. My only grunt would be the policies and or young staff member at the cafe who wouldn't let me eat my £10 oatcakes outside with a proper knife and fork who then became quite disturbed that I was busy with my toddler and didn't collect my hot drink in her precise time 😂.

Nice for families and it's free. a few craft shops and a well stocked farm shop.

Great little place. Free entry, farm animals to see, a nice small park, ice cream parlour, cafe, a few independent shops.

Nice place to go with children to see animals, walk and play.

If you are only looking for something to do for a couple of hours, then this is the place. Free to visit and you only have to pay for food if you would like to feed the animals. The cafe is lovely and there are some nice gift shops to visit on site

Amazing spending time walking round today animals are all chilled

Lovely free little farm, just pay for feed which is super cheap too. Tractor rides also available at small charge. Onsite cafe and other little shops. Great for a family visit.

Greater anger of produce. Good food in cafe too

Very good place take kids car park needs major improvements came on a busy day myself and others got blocked in by other customers coz there are no proper parking spaces so everyone was parking all over the place could do at least with posts and ropes to lay it out like wheelock farm has in Sandbach

Great for young kids and older ones too that like to feed some farm animals. Great little selection of shops enough to pass away a few hours

Very tasty food in the Cafe. Great to see all the animals and birds. I particularly liked the Aberdeen Angus Calf. What a beautiful animal!

Great place for families with young children

Farm is lovely to visit! It’s wheelchair accessible, and being able to feed all the animals with non-expensive carrots and pellets was amazing. Wide variety of animals to see and visit! The cute little moo cow was definitely the highlight of my last visit!

It is good for young children to engage with a variety of animals. The cafe could be a lot better. The whole place gets muddy and dirty, so take a change of footwear.

Great place for all animal lovers especially kids, lots of animal feed available for £1 at the machine, i even had some to give away. It was a nice surprise to see 2 meerkat and 2 peacocks! The only improvements I would suggest is to give the animals more space or let them into other areas to roam in the day. Also it would be good to have a poultry feed machine so we can feed the geese, ducks and chickens etc.

We love coming to Glebe farm, to feed the animals and a ride on the tractor. Some lovely shops too, the butchers is a must though! Best thing is there is no charge to enter or to park.

Car park pot holes need sorting out!

Brilliant place. Super cheap hour out, the Mrs loves it and my daughter does as well.

Nice little farm with a few quirky shops , we only stopped for tea and cakes at the cafe and ended checking out the few animals there and shops ..

Love going to glebe my son enjoys the play ground, even when busy great place to go with a child with autism. Butchers is good value and always great produce.

Free farm with some nice shops. Regular activities for the kids in the warmer months

Another great Xmas turkey purchased and now consumed

Very cool that you can feed and pet the animals. Especially cool is the goats. Interesting to visit it all, but the shop was disappointing. Few local products and quite a lot of products from the general shop

I've been going to Glebe farm for a couple of years now with my young children and it improves every time we come. There is a good selection of animals that children will enjoy seeing and feeding (animal feed available for £1) as well as several shops and a newly updated park. The staff are friendly and welcoming in my experience. Definitely worth a visit. The only downside is general maintenance. On my most recent visit (Jan 23), the carpark was in a shocking state with huge potholes and muddy puddles everywhere. Also, one of the animal fences was damaged meaning that area was unused. Hopefully this is something that is looked at soon as they are clearly investing in the farm to make it nice for families.

Lovely farm, good butchers, cafe serves warm scones that are just delicious and 1 of the best milkshakes I've had. Kiddies can pet and feed the farm animals, nice little craft shop. All in all, a good little stop with the kids

Wonderful live nativity hosted by St Marys

Lovely place with an cafe that produces amazing food

Absolutely done with the butchers. Sold my mrs a hunk of tough, god knows what when she asked for rib eye. Texture was like braising steak. How hard is it to get your staff trained up. They should know what they are selling. Mugging me off charging me for rib eye and giving me some substandard cheap cut instead. Tasted like ass as well. I've noticed their beef has a funny taste lately. Been buying for years but now I'll shop elsewhere had enough. Absolutely ruined my dinner tonight and id been looking forward to it all day. Fuming.

Really enjoyed visiting this farm! There’s loads to do, from activities for all ages to getting up close with a few animals. We loved the tractor ride—it was so much fun! The farm also has a café, a butchers, and some little shops to explore. It’s a brilliant spot for a family day out with plenty to keep everyone entertained.

Absolutely fantastic family run farm. Our experience as a live music group for their annual Astonbury family festivals is 100%. Rob and Leslie are wonderful hosts and have been for the last 6 years we have done the event. Brilliant farm loads for the family to do and see

Great location, fun friendly and worth a visit

Brilliant farm shop, with loads of choice and great fresh produce. Would definitely recommend.

Got a very good butchers counter, with a very good range of meat, also a great coffee shop

Great local farm shop with mix of small shops Butcher particularly good meats lovely and fresh

Nice little farm, happy animals, getting well fed. Chance to feed some. Some animals clearly taking sanctuary with them. Little play park, nice shop and a great cafe and ice cream place. Lovely environment and duper nice staff/setvice throughout.

been dialling coninuously for half an hour to place a pick up order, phone just engaged all the times 12.30-1.15

Great day out. Some lovely little shops. Vape shop spoils the place, does not belong in a family friendly farm.

We arranged a visit to Glebe Farm, having been there before, to meet family travelling from the Southport area for breakfast. The four of us went into the cafe and asked a member of staff if she had a table for 7 people. She pointed at the table in the far right corner and said “ You can have that one”. As we sat down another member of staff came over with the breakfast menu. I asked what time they served breakfast to be told 11:30. I said that we would probably want 7 large full English breakfasts but would call the three other family members to confirm. The time was 11:25 . A female waitress, who seemed to be in charge, walked over to the table, collected the breakfast menus and literally threw the lunch time menus, skimming them across the table. To say that she was extremely rude would be an understatement. She said “ You’re too late for breakfast, you will have to have something from the other menu” as she stormed back to the counter. And stare over at our table with a look of disgust It would appear that she is obviously on a one woman crusade to damage the reputation of what was once a fantastic cafe. We walked out of the cafe, waited for the remainder of our family to arrive and drove to the Bleeding Wolf whereby we ordered 7 fantastic main course meals that were served in a lovely atmosphere by welcoming staff. I will not be going to eat at Glebe Farm anytime soon.

Visited today as a group of 7 (3 adults, 3 young children and a baby) as a cheap couple of hours out for the kids at the end of a very expensive 6 weeks, planning to have a few coffees, ice creams, feed the animals and take a tractor ride along with letting the kids play on the park. Took picnic food with us to keep costs down and to feed the kids and sit at the benches that we have done many times before. However this time we were greeted by a lady (unsure if a busy body or an actual member of staff) pointing out a (new?) Sign stating that "only food purchased on the property can be consumed" there. After telling the lady that it's ridiculous and that it'd never been an issue before she walked away. We carried on eating regardless and then continued about our day with the kids. However we certainly won't return if in the midst of a cost of living crisis, they'd rather lose visitors completely than just allow people to have picnics in the name of greed. It'd have cost upwards of £50 for the 7 of us to purchase what is probably frozen processed mostly inedible food from the cafe! Probably explains why the place was dead!

Butchers, spent £20 on a piece ofbrisket today. Always have had wonderful meat, shopped here for 8 yrs. Today the brisket was almost all fat. So dissapointed and annoyed

Lovely little petting farm feeding the animals and had ice cream 🍦 😋

Great that you can feed the animals and most of them looked well looked after. However, the meerkat and rabbit enclosures did not look suitable and made me concerned for their welfare. The meerkats didn’t have any fresh air and it was sooooo tiny. Idk why there are meerkats on a farm. The rabbit also looked lonely as they’re social creatures and it was alone. It didn’t have any toys or chew things which are so important for both enrichment and for their teeth. It looked bored. Obviously I’m not there all the time though and only saw a small glimpse into the animals’ lives, but I left with an uneasy feeling.

A rustic working farm with lots of independent micro-businesses and animal encounters for the kids. Enjoyed a nice coffee and icecream. Fed the animals and had a tractor 🚜 ride. No entry fee which is excellent 👌🏻

Nice way to use a couple of hours with small children

We love coming to Glebe farm with our toddlers, feeding the animals with their own little buckets of food, and playing on the playground. Today however we were enjoying your Cart d'Or ice cream when my little boy fell off the bench and dropped the whole cone which went splat onto the floor! After queuing to buy another for my terribly upset 3 year old, the kind lady sorted him a replacement for free. Thank you ☺️

My 2 year old son can't get enough of the animals. Always a great time had by all. Don't forget the ice cream, it's delicious 💯👍

Had a lovely time the Highland cows where so cut and one was pregnant so can't wait to go back and see the baby

Great little place. Free entry and £1 (coin) for tub of feed to feed the animals. Enjoyed feeding goats, ponies, etc. Lovely display by the peacock. And saw meerkats, birds, and the cutest pig. Take care - some animals are labelled not to feed, but you can feed most of them. Good little farm shop with meat and veg to buy. Also selections of jars and beer, though less than last time we came. Then there are all the little quirky shops, my favourite being the crystal/rock shop - bought a beautiful owl necklace there today for only a tenner. There is a café too, though we didn't try that. And ice cream, including vegan options which is important. Definitely worth a visit to Glebe Farm. Highly recommended 💜

Farm animals, tractor rides, gift shops, cafe and lots more at this brilliant free entry location.

Lazy server on the ice cream counter.Another can't be bothered "computer says no" type.One star is too much really.

Lovely place to visit. Free entry. £1 coin needed to get a bucket of animal feed. Good range of farm animals. A great way to spend a morning out afternoon.

lovely little free farm with play area and shops ,food available to purchase for the animals and tractor rides, perfect for keeping little ones busy for a few hours on a dry day. Nice little farm shop and cafe. but we were a bit baffled as to why they sell supermarket ice cream over a locally produced one 🤔 would be interested to know the reasoning for this.

Good food great for the children, however the car park is just terrible, just to many cars, pot holes mud and unfortunately a car backed into my car. Won't be going back there.

The butchers at this farm seem to be a miserable lot and are really put out if you go there to buy more than a few items for your freezer. They will actually complain to your face that you didn't phone in advance with your order! Yep, complain that you want to spend so much money in their shop that they have to fetch extra items from the back! Sorry but no, I'll take my money elsewhere from now on.

A little gem of a place. Animals clearly loved and used to being petted by children. Staff very friendly and patient with young children. Highly recommend - a lovely visit. Spent 2 hours there, lovely cafe and tractor ride - perfect Sunday morning with the grandchildren.

The farm itself is lovely, you can get a bucket of food for £1 and feed the animals. The enclosures are a little on the small side but the animals get lots of attention and are very friendly. The aviary is absolutely gorgeous. We paid to go in the sensory session which was run by a lovely welcoming lady who was so accommodating and really good with my son who has additional needs. We had lunch in the cafe. I hadn’t seen the sign that you should wait to be seated and there was nobody there to greet us so I chose a table for our group and sat down. After I’d sat down and moved the used pots to the end of the table a lady came over and very abruptly said “THERES A SIGN TO WAIT TO BE SEATED” I immediately apologised and said I hadn’t seen it and offered to move. She replied “How many is it for?” There were only 2 of us at the time but we were waiting for 3 more otherwise obviously I wouldn’t have sat on a big table. We ordered food and then my son’s meal wasn’t right. I explained at the counter that we had asked for fish fingers and were given nuggets instead. Only to be told I was wrong and I asked for nuggets. When I repeated again that I hadn’t she told me I had. No apology, no offer to change it so my son had the nuggets instead of what he had actually asked for. I’ve given 3 stars because of the rude, abrupt and to be quite honest unkind staff in the cafe. I wouldn’t eat there again but would visit the farm.

great place to take the grandchildren to feed the animals plus a lovely cafe with friendly polite staff 👍

Lovely little farm with some fantastic little independent shops. Kids love the animals and the play park. The butchers sold an amazing steak pie. Highly recommended

I regularly shop at Glebe Farm butchers and I ordered a turkey breast for Christmas which we had on both Christmas Day and Boxing Day. It was excellent! Really moist, tender and very tasty. I also bought stewing steak for a casserole on Christmas Eve and that was lean, really tender and tasty. I can’t recommend Glebe Farm butchers highly enough.

Lovely place all ages. The animals are brilliant for introducing youngsters to the care and welfare required. The bonus is, it’s all free! Highly recommended.

Lovely place to visit to see the animals and have something to eat. Special shout out for the brilliant Santa Christmas experience .. very reasonable price for a train ride, gift and very authentic, friendly Santa! Children absolutely loved it!

We come here throughout the year to feed the animals with the kids and generally it's good/ nice farm. We booked the Christmas train this year so the kids could see santa. It wasn't great, if anything it was quite poor value for money. Santa wasn't great, the train is very small and it's a working farm so unless your wearing the appropriate footwear you will have to buy new trainers on your way home. We won't book the Christmas event again, shame really as I'm not sure if they genuinely tried or it was just an opportunity to cash in on the season.

Lots of small shops selling crafts and various goods, hairdressers, dog grooming, yoga, photography studio, cafe, farm shop, camping shop, personal trainer gym, play area for the kids, animals to look at, tractor ride etc......good day out for adults and kids!

Very disappointed. Unless you have young children, they will love the petting animals, most of the stores were closed and it was too cold to sit out with our dogs for a coffee

What's a better way to introduce children to a farm environment than through one that has free entry? Carrots and animal feed are available from the shop for £1 each and you can feed most of the animals here apart from the Shetland pony and pig. There's also highland cattle, alpacas, meerkats, goats and donkeys. More unexpectedly found are meerkats saved from a van. Tractor trailer rides are £1 per person (babies go free with prams and pushchairs welcome aboard) with contactless being accepted.

Great place for the kids, feed the animals and tractor ride are big hits

This was my first visit and I was so upset that the poor pony lives in such a tiny dirty pen, non of the animals looked particularly clean , their hay stank, the pony needs to live in a field where if it wanted to it could run around , places like this disgust me and sadden me

Nice place to visit, great if you have young children. Mondays are quieter as alot of the shops are closed. The animals are well cared for, and respond well to people carrying little white buckets of food (purchased at the farm shop)

A few animals to keep the kids amused plus tractor/trailor rides, some cheap jack 'shops' and a caff. No admission fee

A good quality full English breakfast. However, they've changed the rules and now you're not allowed to make substitutions on the breakfast which is a shame as its a simple courtesy to offer. Would of been 5 stars if they were more flexible and customer friendly.

Ok glebe farm itself brilliant for young children, free entry £1 for food for the animals, safe petting zoo, play area, and great tractor rides for £1 Would have been 5 star but… and this is not run by the farmer… there is a miniature steam train… it cost £8 for 2 adults and a child!!! The track is soooo short it’s literally a small hill!! Not even round a field, or the farm couple of minutes uo a hill sit at the top of the hill for 5 minutes and come back down! Absolutely disgusting and seriously overpriced.. robbery and taking advantage of children. Very wrong for the length of time.. even the children are disappointed and can’t believe how short it is… but the money is outrageous! Spoils the whole day tbh!!

One of ( if not ) the best breakfasts available in the area. Everything is cooked to perfection and quality ingredients used. You'll not find better.

Had a great time with our Grandson.

Great... definitely worth feeding the animals

Lovely time spent at Glebe farm, friendly staff and plenty of animals and a great little play area!

Fabulous cafe with indoor or outdoor, undercover seating. Opportunity to feed the animals (£1) and a tractor ride (£1 per person). Lovely short walks to see the animals and a play area to top it off for the kids. The produce in the shop look amazing although we weren't buying on this occasion. Some independent shops to browse also.

Small farm. Very good ice cream served here

Went for brunch on our way back home, I chose the full English, and the better half chose the pair of staffordshire oatcakes. The quality of the food was outstanding, and I openly admit to being a food snob, but there was nothing I didn't love about it. I sampled the bosses oatcakes (professional standards, honest) and again was impressed. The quality of the raw materials was quite evident, but the price was reasonable, under 20 quid with a pot of tea each. I will go there again, it's a lovely setting with really pleasant staff. I even left a tip, which surprised me as normally I'm as tight as a ducks arse.

Brilliant place for children able to feed a selection of farm animals ,everything at very reasonable prices and free admission. Great children's play area,and ample free parking.

Excellent place for a family trip out to take in the farm and what comes with it is very much worth the visit.

Fabulous afternoon for our grandson For a few hours of free fun, it js a good attraction for young children

This Farm Shop is as good as any I've been to. Not cheap, but good quality usually isn't. The butcher's is great. The bacon and burgers I bought were really good, and the prime fillet steak (a special birthday treat) was beautiful. The other outlets are interesting too. There is quite a wide range of shops.

Lovely place for children. Animals to feed such as sheep, alpacas and goats. A nice play area, farm shop and a cafe and some other smaller craft type shops..spent about 2 hrs here
