Gulliver's Farm Shop in East Dorset

I’ve been a regular customer at Gulliver’s Farm Shop for quite some time, and it’s been wonderful to watch it grow and evolve. They offer a delightful menu featuring biodynamic food straight from their farm, and the quality of the food is outstanding, especially for the price. One of the highlights for us is that when an adult orders a meal, children's meals are just £1 – a fantastic value for families! What makes Gulliver's even more special is their commitment to employing individuals with disabilities, providing meaningful support and opportunities to adults with varying needs. It feels great to support such a worthy cause while enjoying a meal. The play area is perfect for kids to run around, and the play trail is a lovely addition after a meal. I highly recommend Gulliver’s Farm Shop to friends and will continue to do so."

I will let you decide the value of paying £7.50 for this sausage roll. Also Zero selection of sandwich (beef or vegetarian?) on a saturday I thought was poor Won't be visiting again.

Firstly ignore all the negative reviews Gullivers is such an amazing, welcoming, beautiful place. The staff are all fabulous and welcoming. It's such an inspiring place, the staff all round were so diverse and yet equal. People with disabilities working and being treated the right way. I cannot fault it. My dad's disabled and felt soo comfortable here. After a triple stroke this day out felt like normality and it's down to every single worker. Also did I mention the food was absolutely amazing and the service, Bruna was fantastic and the other chefs and staff (forgot names) were incredible. Go there and make memories

Nice location but 30 min wait for the only 1 pork sandwich left at 13:30hrs. Lots of vegan available but we’re not vegan. Sorry but we won’t bother coming here again.

Shocking customer service with a really bad attitude. Made to feel like we were a burden and the staff just wanted to leave. Told to fetch my own salt & Pepper. Food awful. Not willing to help at the table. Never coming back here

Took my granddaughter especially for the nature trail as advertised on the Web site. It's says you can collect a nature trail pack on arrival for a small donation. They didn't have any. Disappointed granddaughter. The trail itself was awful. Very neglected. Mud kitchen dried up and water butt empty. The whole trail very Disappointing.

Went as was a farm shop but more of a place to eat. Wanted to buy sausages, chops, pies cheese. But the only place to buy anything was as you walk in. Which is small and no farm produce. Just a few scotch eggs pies. Some veg outside. Not what I expected. But nice place to eat I should think.

I will describe this Breakfast only in one word: WOW. Definitely coming back.

We were the only ones in there. Drinks ok but poor selection of cake and both the cinnamon bun and banana bread were extremely dry. Really disappointing.

Really dissapointing, kids on staff seem generally a bit lost and forgot our order. Deli foods, salads and cakes looked good but sub standard flavour across the board.

Visited for the first time today, staff are lovely and so helpful, recommended some of their favourite food from the deli, the food was delicious!! Had the beef sandwich, sausage roll, and the brownie is divine!! Everyone also loved saying hello to our two little dogs, the loveliest atmosphere in there! A must visit!

What an amazing little treasure. Delicious, beautifully presented food. Will have to return! Thankyou to the lovely ,helpful staff!

This farm shop and cafe has the sort of ethos we all want to encourage as it supports adults with learning disabilities. The food is top rate and organic, often grown or farmed on their own farm but otherwise ethically sourced. There's plenty of parking and you can sit inside or outside in a relaxed farmhouse style.

Absolutely wonderful little gem of a place. The coffee and cakes are amazing, And my girls love the smoothies. All the ingredients is fresh, and everywhere is so clean. All the staff are fantastic. Even at their busiest times they always have a smile on their faces. Im sure can be difficult serving the general public at times, but the team here are brilliant, polite and always serve with a smile. Will definitely return soon!

I absolutely agree with Kelly who posted a review earlier the same happened to us we walked in and five or six young members of staff stood looking at us , felt like we shouldn’t be there , no one spoke ,to us no good morning , can I help you ,we have r been before and didn’t know anything , had to ask can we order something , when I asked if they could pop the sausage rolls in a micro for a few seconds I got a um um yes we ordered and payed and sat down ,the service very slow no customer chat , we ate our food which was very nice ,but we didn’t get the tea,after a while I asked a girl if our t was coming she said yes I will get it ,10 mins later asked a different girl who said it was coming ,then eventually the tea appeared, we finished out tea and left , to be stopped at the door and told you havnt paid for your tea ,so I said I paid the amount you asked for , she said you didn’t order tea , I told her I had ,we wouldn’t have food without a drink ,she said well I didn’t hear you and can u pay ,which of course I did ,usually these little farms and cafes are very friendly , think you need a supervisor to Organise the running and service of the cafe

Food is overpriced for what it is.

In a lovely area. Spacescous. Well presented. Nice mellow & thoughtful evening event. Thank you for you politeness fond the area where the event took place. Nice products available. Staff very polite with a sense of calmness.

We had a fab time here this morning. It was very wet and muddy after all the rain we've had recently but my kids loved splashing on the trail. I even enjoyed a hot coffee while they played in the play area and my 3yo was thrilled with her gluten free brownie! Fab facilities, clean toilets and baby changing area. We will be back 😀

Cool place to shop and get lunch!

Brilliant for brunch - yesterday was the first time we’ve been back since the new kitchen has gone in. We were both wowed by “Dom’s Special” which was the best avocado, salsa, chilli jam, poached egg on sourdough: accompanied by perfect cappuccino and tea. Thank you!

Very welcoming, clean and dog friendly. Great to see a shop that also involves the companions residing at Sturts Farm. Food is fresh and cooked on site. Would definitely recommend you visit this place. Keep up the good work Team Sturts Farm.

Such a warm, friendly and comfortable atmosphere . Nothing run of the mill here - the menu is varied and absolutely delicious (especially the courgette fritters 😁), I’ve never been disappointed with eating in, or when I’ve purchased food to bring home. The staff are so helpful, nothing is too much trouble. Today, chef even gave me the recipe for said fritters! Give yourself a treat and visit Gullivers you won’t be disappointed. (And no, I don’t work there lol)

Used to be a regular here but their food menu is extortionately priced and the portions are ridiculously tight. I wouldn't mind paying these prices if the portion sizes were adequate. Now I take my regular business elsewhere. And no, they claim all produce is organic which is a lie. Their avocado's for example are NOT organic.

A lovely visit to Gullivers farm shop and cafe, what a find. Wonderful food and drink at ver reasonable prices, we all had the the Leek and cheese quiche with homemade coleslaw, absolutely delicious. The service was brilliant too 👏 well done to all the staff, we will be back 😀

French toast is a must. Friendly staff

Best farm in the area all ways smiling friendly service food is very nice Daniel is the best

Beautiful quirky little farm shop. The Yurt was lovely and a perfect setting for a Mothers Day late lunch location However, the service was quite slow and the food came out a little at a time with missing items which had to be chased up We were also hurried out of the property once 3pm came. The lady who ushered us out was quite rude. Maybe she was reacting to the lack of tip, but I never tip poor service. We knew that the kitchen closed at 3pm, but at no time were we told that we hadn’t to be out of the building and that the farm shop and garden area would be closed. It was a really beautiful day so it was a shame they couldn’t be bothered to stay open until 4pm. Worth a look, but go early PS. Don’t drink the Karma sugar free Cola. At £2.85 for a tiny 250ml can it ought to be better. It was totally hideously awful

Lovely farm shop and good coffee!

We haven’t been for a while but we ventured back and oh my it did not dissapoint. They now have a waffle menu and they tasted so so good!! We went for the hummous and avocado and shared a dessert of Liv’s Banana flapjack! You need to visit! Amazing place! Run by a charity supporting adults with learning difficulties into work. This is a lovely cosy place with an orchard where we spent most of the afternoon relaxing whilst the children played safely in an enclosed area on the pedal tractors. Food was outstanding and I would definitely recommend the Dom Special! This shop is great if you want to support local produce, your local farm and a charity! Well worth a visit and we will be back!!

What a fantastic visit with the family. The service was fantastic (staff were welcoming, warm and lovely to our children). We sat in their yurt which was just lovely and cozy. They even had lots of toys for the children to play with. We had brunch and had seen the new waffle menu which we were intrigued by as it’s quite different. My hubby had the Gullivers Big Brekkie (He loved!) and I had the Hummous & Avocado. Ohhhh my! The flavours put together with the sweet chilli and sundries tomatoes was just so yummy 🤤 Their coffee is the best around. It’s hard to find a coffee shop with good coffee and to take pride in the coffee too. They certainly take pride and I ended up having 2 flat whites. If you have children and are looking to keep them entertained, they have a lovely orchard with farm toys in but also have a trail for the children with some lovely activities around it. We will be regulars and will be back soon. Special thank you to Bruna for creating a special experience for our children.

Had a wonderful breakfast here. Booking was really easy on the website. The yurt was amazing as was the food. Everyone was really welcoming and friendly. We all loved it including our dog who was made a fuss of and we will be back.

Average, long wait for food and drink, but not busy. My Welsh Rarebit was more like just cheese on toast otherwise the food was okay bit on the pricey side for what it was.

Lovely wholesome food 17-12 update. Incredible 3 course evening meal we all enjoyed every mouthful, well hosted and in the amazing, warm yurt.

Great place, very friendly staff, great range of products. Fantastic coffee.

A first class cafe, could not fault a single thing and can't wait to come back again soon!

Our first time food very good.all very rustic.nice place.

Outside dining beware of cats etc. Food and staff helpful and good

We love it hear, safe for kids to happily play and amazing vegan cakes! Today was like a little holiday and cakes coffee and curry were all amazing. What a treat! Thank you.

With 12 cyclists arriving service was a little slow, but good

A hidden gem.. really sweet little cafe. Will definitely come back

First time we had been for food .We had scrambled egg with smoked trout on soughfough with coffee. Then we had two smoothies which we found a bit too cold. Will return for their lunchtime tapas menu

Lovely farm shop, excellent coffee and service. A few animals to see, outside undercover seating, lovely place for a coffee and a browse around the shop.

I spent quite a lot of money here on a sausage roll, two steak and vegetable pies and a few carrots. The sausage roll was ok but the steak and vegetable pies were appalling. The pastry was lovely but the steak was tough and gristly, the carrots were well past their best. This is a pity and I suspect if I had opted for vegetarian products they would have been superb

Nice but not wheelchair friendly due to gravel driveway and path. Staff lovely and attentive, lovely coffee.

Fantastic place and lovely food!

I love this shop. But it’s more than just a farm shop ran as a social enterprise. The shop has fruit and veg, a deli and yummy coffee and cake but also the Waffle van out the back and food there is delicious, with plenty outdoor seating. You currently need to book a slot. Great place for kids with a shortish walking trail with things to spot on way, plus goats and sheep to see. There is a longer walk for adults. Second time here and have had both sweet and savoury waffles. Service very slow today but staff are friendly.

Had a lovely visit today - I was served by Charlie who was very professional and friendly. The atmosphere was great, and it was lovely to be able to sit down and enjoy good local food again. Charlie recommended the orchard waffle to us; the waffle itself was great, and the spiced apple compote with it was delicious. Can’t wait for my next visit!

Met a friend today at Gullivers Kitchen for a hot drink and waffles, but sadly I was disappointed. We were told the tea would be in a teapot, but it was in two takeaway paper cups with lids on and milk already added. No sugar. I had waffles with mushrooms, tomato, egg and bacon. The portions are small for the price of £11, the waffle was soggy and the food cold. On the plus side, the staff are great and it was lovely to sit out in the garden. Sorry to be negative, but I have enjoyed being at Gullivers Kitchen pre-lockdown and I am sure you will want feedback from your customers. I think the waffle idea needs rethinking. Maybe toasted sandwiches would be better, but if you stick with offering waffles, cook them well and hot.

Great place to have Coffee. Very friendly staff.

Very friendly and helpful. White chocolate and raspberry brownies the best I have ever had.

Possibly my favourite shop, great staff, and products that one can not get elsewhere, If I owned a shop it would be based on this for sure.

Super coffee and cakes. Excellent friendly service and a really good range of high quality produce. A great circular walk from here as well.

Lovely place. Great customer service. Helpful friendly staff. Good quality foods etc. Outside places including eating area open in late April. Will keep going there.

I read some lovely reviews about Gullivers and i cant dispute the produce looks lovely but yesterday was such a disappointment. We paid £3 to go on a magical fairy walk. We were handed a map and told to spot the veg, count the scarecrows and look for the fairy doors. Obviously being winter there was little to see in the vegetable garden and the scarecrows were weather beaten falling over and looking very sad. With the promise of a gift at the end our 4yr old and 5yr old counted the fairy doors. It was over so quick we even went round again to make sure we didnt miss any. '15!' they shouted. So we rushed back to the shop to declare our findings and the nice lady took the 2 girls to a Xmas tree with presents underneath. But were they real presents .... NO. What the girls received was a wooden tree bauble. £3!!!! I think we were robbed. Two very sad girls all the way home. "What are we supposed to do with this" they cried. Come on Gullivers. You had a golden opportunity to create a magical moment there during a very difficult time. Sorry to moan but it really was a let down.

What a fantastic place this is! We visited today with the children and it truly didn’t disappoint. We started with the Fairy Trail and the children loved it. The map was lovely and interactive and asked us questions as we went round. It was lovely to find out that Gullivers have given part of the land to a local allotment scheme to give people a patch to grow their own vegetables. We finished the fairy walk after seeing some little fairy houses with some lovely little play areas on the way. It was lovely to hear that all money was going back into the gullivers nature trail and would grow in the future 😊😊 WE CANT WAIT. We entered entered the shop and it was lovely to see that it was full of local produce and the shop was lovely and clean with the staff just being incredible. Zoe & Lilly in particular. We booked a table in the yurt and this was truly stunning...YOU MUST VISIT!!! We had the Gullivers burger with the children going for the sliders. Excellent value for money and we all would highly recommend!! We will be back very soon and the children really want to visit the little fairy trail again ❤️🧚‍♂️. Have a lovely Christmas.

I love this place. Everything is delicious, everyone is friendly and they've worked so hard and creatively to stay open and serving us during 2020. We went to do the Christmas Fairy Trail today and had a lovely time! Do not leave this place without a Scotch Egg, preferably a Smokey Joe. You can thank me later..

We brought the children to do the fairy door walk today was abit disappointed to be honest thought it might have been more than it was and also the gift that we had to pay for at the end was a wooden xmas tree decoration the children were ever so disappointed not really something the kids want. Even if they have been given a bag of chocolate coins or something would have been better than that. Friendly staff and lovely shop but really could make that alot better for the children not an enchanted walk that it makes out to be.

Just had a bacon roll and hot chocolate, probably the best I've had. Staff were extremely polite.

A hidden gem locally. This place will only grow further the more people go and support this wonderful little business. Top class communication from Bethy.

Had an amazing Burger in the New Yurt an outside Eating Area at Gullivers Farm. What a Beautiful cosy Place to Eat & a Lovely Christmas Tree in the Centre of the Room . Made to feel really welcome staff were amazing. Got to say Everyone enjoyed there Burgers. Looking forward in going Back soon. Well Done Staff

Amazing place call in for lunch had such amazing burger it was so tasty, the washed it all do with a lovely coffee.... we sat in the outside yurt it was so homely very very welcoming also ver festive for Christmas I would recommend you take a visit to gullivers farm shop ...

Incredibly helpful and friendly staff, great produce and reasonable prices

Great quality, locally sourced foods. Mostly produced on the farm itself. The food they produce is exquisite, never had a bad experience. Would highly recommend coming here. My only comment is if they could expand on the variety of refillable products. It's a good selection, but there is room for more.

Previously rated a five star, would love to give more! Gullivers is an incredible place, community and farm shop - with some darn good food! During this unfortunate climate of COVID, Gullivers have opened themselves up to new opportunity. Firstly, the shop was an amazing place to visit, waste free and a fantastic kitchen with a great chef! Then COVID came... and they saved the local community and provided deliveries of veg/fruit and the essentials - this was a welcome service from day one. Then, we are gifted with The Waffle Box in which Dom thrives, once again, with his fantastic food! Now, they have just introduced Gullivers Kitchen and a delivery service of the BEST food around! Thanks Gullivers for being such an incredible, valuable business and for what you do for the community! This is the only place I'd gladly spend my entire monthly wages, if I was allowed!

Delicious home made cakes and tasty coffee. Friendly staff too!

Very friendly, popped in for a coffee after visiting the allotments. Lots of homemade food available for lunch, so will try the food next time.

I haven’t visited for a while and recently returned and thought I would try the new Gullivers Waffle Box.They have excellent social distancing measures in place and the service we received was outstanding as always. I had the pulled pork on a waffle, my wife had the Special Dom and little one’s both had the banoffee one. The waffles were fantastic, such a simple idea with amazing taste. We walked down to the shop after our food and purchased a veg box where all the veg is organic! The shop is wonderful and has so much lovely produce inside as well as the refill stationMe and my family would definitely recommend a visit.

The staff were lovely and friendly. The reason for 3 stars is it's not really wheelchair friendly. If you have a motorised wheelchair with 'off road' type tyres then you'll be fine, but anything else is a no go. If you are a fulltime wheelchair user then you may find it difficult to get to the tables to eat outside. Also although the standard of ingredients in/on the waffles are very high I found it unseasoned. I had the halloumi waffle. The guac needed seasoning, the slaw didnt really taste of anything. However the chilli jam was the best I've ever tasted. The shop was lovely though. There was a lot to choose from, not just edible products. There were candles and soaps etc etc. The price was reasonable. The loaves of bread looked amazing also, so I bought a loaf and some butter as well as fruit and veg. I look forward to trying it later.

Amazing farm shop and had waffles putside which were insanely good!

Serving food and drinks - mostly sweet and savoury waffles with lots of well spread out seating in the field behind the cafe

We don't live in West Moors so only discovered this fabulous Farm Shop and Cafe recently. We managed a few delicious brunches here (and bought a lot of tasty veggie scotch eggs) before the UK went into lockdown. Since then Zoe and her team have been marvellous keeping us supplied with fresh organic fruit and veg, milk, bread, amazing eggs (even when we couldn't get any elsewhere!) etc. It's so easy and well organised to order online/by phone and collect. All the food is so fresh (try the ginger - yum) and sourced locally, and the Prosecco is one of the best we've ever had. Far superior than anything you can buy in the big supermarkets. If I could give this a million stars, I would. A great company and a great ethos too. Love it!

We would just like to thank you for your support & help during this time. We felt looked after & cared for the moment we called & spoke with Ella. We frequently visit your farm shop anyway until Coronavirus came around but the box was lovely and full of nutritious organic fruit & veg.Please support your local business and local farmers, they need us the most.

Absolutely love this farm shop. We took our family to last years Pumpkin Fest and it was a fantastic event! Looking at their events calendar and seeing so much planned for families and children it is really good to see and affordable!The farm shop has an orchard at the back which has tractors and diggers in with a mud kitchen also. The area is nice and secure so you can enjoy your food with a piece of mind.For food I have the vegetarian breakfast wrap and my wife had the Don’s Special with our little one enjoying some scrambled egg on toast! Food was excellent and knowing that all ingredients are ethically sourced and local meant I loved this even more. The food is very good value for money and the coffee is SUPERB!!!

Really great find. Excellent quality ingredients. simple dishes done with the best of ingredients allowing you to really savour every mouthful. Staff were all friendly and full of smiles. This will be a weekend regular from now on!

Wonderful place!...fantastic, friendly, helpful staff, nothing too much trouble... excellent tea and cake!...we were in the dome outside and it was perfect, cosy and warm :)

Good fresh food and great coffee. Great service

Stopped for a Breakfast with my Grandson Aged 3 Breakfast Amazing I have to Say. You were made Welcome. We were lucky enough to have our Breakfast in the Pod outside what an experience Loverly & Cozy. When we Finished my Grandson could play in the Play Area For the Kids they Have there BRILLIANT Thank You All At The Shop.

Went in December for lunch, the food was so tasty also there was so much going on for Christmas and for the kids there was elves story time.... Dom’s special was lovely.

Visited here with my husband on a very wet and windy Storm Ciara Sunday for breakfast. We arrived as it opened, sheltering from the rain and were met by friendly staff. A small cafe but relaxing. Unfortunately, the day we visited they were still waiting for a delivery of local bacon and therefore the breakfast menu a little limited as there was also no apple porridge available. Limited menu for breakfast but had a tasty 'peanut butter / banana on sourdough toast' with nice coffees. Reasonably priced and has also lovely fresh produce available to buy in their shop.

Amazing customer service great food and cosy Eating area would definitely recommend a visit to this amazing place

Certainly worth a visit - very good at all things they do - couldn’t fault in any way at all - go on, give it a try

Came here with our two dogs for a post-walk brunch and had a lovely meal! We sat outside in a glass style teepee which was perfect with the dogs. Had an amazing hot chocolate, pot of tea and two avocado, halloumi and egg on sourdough toasts! So yummy! Shop was great too, local foods which encouraged reusing jars/ containers so zero waste. Great to see!

Popped in for a coffee as was heating great things about this farm shop after winning a couple big awards recently! I can tell you that this didn’t disappoint. I popped in for a coffee which tasted so so good and I left with my weekly vegetables which were all organic and some organic beef and pork reared at their own farm. After my shop I thought I may try some food in their cafe, service was fantastic and super friendly and the food was to die for. I went with the Dom’s Special!! Tasty!!I will be returning weekly to support this local Farm Shop as they support so many local businesses also.

I visit quite regular and have been since the recent menu update. Their menu is seasonal and their meat dishes come from their own farm which their lovely member of staff Ella explained to me that this is all organic and farmed sustainably.The food was magnificent and the rancheros (not sure how you spell it) I would definitely recommend!!! Hint: I asked if I could visit their farm next door and they were more than happy to direct me to where to go and I spotted lots of piggies, cows, chickens & sheep. There was such a good atmosphere of people working on the farm I would highly recommend you visit!

Fantastic food. All sourced locally and cooked fresh. Better than any chain and many at twice the price. Great deli, wonderful bread friendly service.

Visited on Christmas Eve for some late shopping and to stock up on the cheese. Gifts they had in the shop were fantastic and they also have a zero waste area where you can all refill to reduce waste. My family loved the gifts I bought. Staff were so helpful, polite and gave me a lovely personalised experience with one staff member talking me through the local cheese they had in the deli counter. Once shopping was finished I thought I would stay for a coffee and the coffee was sooooo soooooo good!! Staff told me that this is roasted very locally in Southampton by a company called Mozzo. Thank you for a relaxed and lovely experience on Christmas Eve when everything should have really been quite hectic. Have a great new year. I will be back.P.s can you is open a farm shop in Bournemouth also?

What a fantastic evening with my wife at this months supper club. We had a wine tasting experience taken by Bethy & Zoe who were brilliant.Dominic the chef made us a 3 course meal and his baked cheesecake was divine! The evening was relaxed and enjoyable with the service being 10 out of 10!! If you haven’t already tried one of these evenings then please do! Excellent value for money and I am waiting to book onto the January supper club.See you in January!!

I have visited for lunch twice now. The environment is relaxing, staff are welcoming and efficient and the food is delicious. Prepared with care and packed with flavour. Would highly recommend for a chilled out lunch.

A lovely place to go in the summer for an amazing lunch in the orchard. In the winter it’s great too just for coffee and lovely cakes. Lunch time menu really nice. I always feel as though I have eaten a really healthy meal.

This is one of regular haunts, always good coffee and lovely food so good we take our friends there.

Fantastic breakfast, wide sort of brads and excellent service.

Best coffe on Dorset lovely retreat

Lovely place for coffee, and cake Farm shop has many local products produced

My favourite place for breakfast! Staff are amazing. Food is fresh and huge portions. Never had a bad meal. Cakes are tempted and loads of vegan and veggie options.

Przemiła obsługa pyszna kawa polecam

The food was amazing and really good value We were a party of four and all had different meals which were all delicious. It was spotlessly clean and had a wonderful selection of bread and local produce. A truly lovely experience Thank you

Lovely food in a cosy cafe ambience. Didn't seem too pricy for quality. The farm shop had excellent produce and a fantastic bulk buy frozen section. All in nice surroundings with a nice garden for those nice days.

Haven’t been for a little while but visited today during my lunch break. I had a flat white and the bruschetta made from scratch by the chef Dom, he told me it was made using their very own organic tomatoes and the tomatoes were AMAZING! I would certainly recommend. So nice to find a place that make the produce from scratch using organic vegetables....I certainly don’t mind paying that little extra knowing the ingredients are ethically sourced and come from the farm I have just eaten at.I will be back a bit sooner this time!!
