Hayton Farm Shop in Carlisle

Really nice Sunday roast and I loved the Carmel crunch sundae and bought some lovely biscuits. Would definitely come again.

Good place to stop for food and drinks

A variety's of goods and great ice cream. A few nice kitchen items and gifts.

We have visited this establishment on many occasions and it has often been a good stopping point on the way home to Newcastle upon Tyne and we have enjoyed the nice atmosphere and lovely home made fare. However on this occasion the café was awful .This was a Sunday and it was busy but the waiting staff did not listen and cared even less about the food we received .We ordered a child size portion for my companion however this was ignored and we were charged for a normal adult meal . we asked what the desserts were and received a half hearted even less interested description and consequently received the wrong dessert ,my companion has arthritic mobility issues and cannot get up to look at the counter so relies upon the waiting staff knowing something about what they are serving . Whilst i appreciate that food prices have risen considerably , the prices charged are not good value for money anymore.

Terrible Farm Shop, don’t understand the previous reviews. The shop is my issue, no fresh produce or meat and eggs to buy, which is crazy for a farm shop. Don’t visit if you are looking to buy food.

Upon first entering, we had to wait to be seated. There were several empty seats, but it took a long time for anyone to acknowledge us. When someone finally came to seat us, the woman looked miserable. Sitting down to decide what we wanted, we noticed all the staff looked unhappy. When taking our order, I asked for a slight change and was bluntly told it was only what was on the menu. I was only asking for cheese in a different toastie. I actually wanted to leave, but we waited. The food came and I have to say it was delicious. But all in all, it was a very miserable place. Oh, and they have a lovely gift shop.

Excellent ice cream good choice of flavours

We came across this lovely converted barn on our journey to Scotland and decided to stop by for a quick bite. There is a shop connected to the cafe where we purchased a gift for our friends back home. We were greeted by two lovely ladies and served promptly. We both enjoyed a cup of tea and a delicious homemade fruit scone with butter and jam at just over £5 each we thought was well worth it.

Looking rather shabby these,days...

Had a very nice bowl of pea and ham soup. Thought the victoria sponge at £5.00 a slice was a bit expensive but would return.

Stopped for lunch on the way home to Scotland from Newcastle. Food okay and a bit expensive.

Good selection of quality meals and drinks, friendly professional staff, will be back next time we are in the area!

Miserable staff £4.50 for half a child’s sandwich ate out scones before the coffee arrived over priced cafe won’t be back.

Nice food but a bit pricey, lovely ice cream tho

Gorgeous homemade tasty homemade food, I can recommend the quiche.

Stunning cream tea, excellent value and friendly and attentive service.

We arrived & were seated quickly but then had to wait ages for someone to come & take our order, we had to signal to someone before they came over, we were told there might be a bit of a wait but to be honest they weren’t that busy! We waited at least half an hour to get our drinks & 45 minutes to get some sandwiches, 2 of which arrived wrong! The staff didn’t seem to be in any hurry & there were uncleared tables everywhere, I had to wait for ages to pay & was then overcharged, very disappointing really as I know people who have had very positive experiences here. I won’t be back!!

Beautiful pool. Excellent ice cream.

Lovely farm shop with private pool located there.

Nice cafe with friendly and staff.

Lovely little farm shop and cafe, beautiful ice creams and cream scones!

I had lunch homemade steak pie 🥧 it was delicious 😋

We had hoped to get some food supplies from this farm shop after a long journey to Cumbria but arrived to find it had closed early. This was on a Saturday afternoon. We (four adults and two children) returned the next day but couldn't find any useful food supplies to buy. No cheese, milk, bread etc. Drive to the Co-op in Brampton instead.

Enjoy my walk around the farm shop , and took a couple of nice things home .

Food was absolutely lovely, highly recommended!

Called here on the way to Newcastle and it was well worth the stop, I choose a BLT and my wife a Tuna and Cucumber sandwich from a excellent lunch menu and we weren't disappointed, (they also serve desserts with a large selection of home made ice cream 😋). The staff were polite and friendly and the cafe was clean and tidy though a bit dated. Downsides, there are no signs on the approach road which travelling at 60mph it's quite easy to miss, by the time you see it you're past it ☹️, the place looks like it could do with a freshen up (new paint etc) but don't let that put you off as it's a really great little cafe

Nice coffee and sandwich selection, decent options for those with dietary needs given it's a farm shop (i.e. gluten & dairy)

This is quite a large eatterie popular with an older clientele. There is a well stocked farm shop attached. The menu is varied and the food and choice of sweets very good. The tables and chairs are a little dated now and generally the staff are pleasant and helpful.

First visit. Coffee good and very reasonably priced. Expected to see meat products being a farm shop. Plenty of other goodies including biscuits and cakes.

Expected it to sell farm foods but it was more jams and chutneys, the tea room looked nice thou, loads of space to sit, cakes looked yummy too!!

The shop is lacking any real "farm" produce, it all appears to be bought in. The food is very expensive for what you actually get, the scone was very dry, the "luxury" hot chocolate was basically chocolate powder with water, cream marshmallows abd a flake and you get extra hairs with your coffee! Would not recommend this to anyone!

We must have driven past this place hundreds of times and stumbled on it by accident. Friendly staff, good food and drink options at the cafe and a decent range of goods in the shop. Will definitely be calling back in

Great food. Good value. Staff very helpful

Good choice of food. Partner got haddock goujons, chips and peas, plenty on the plate and you could tell they were homemade. Delicious. I got the quiche salad which was lovely. Pavlova for dessert was amazing and plenty. Would definitely come back. The staff are really friendly and the prices are reasonable aswell.

Stopped for lunch and got there just as they were finishing the hot food service, but happily accommodated us. Had the roast beef and was good value for money. However we had visited due to it being a farm shop and had hoped to pick up some supplies too. Whilst there were plenty of jams, chutneys and gifts, there was no fresh produce and such that I would usually associate with a farm shop. Definitely visit for the cafe.

Very nice triple chocolate cake with cream and tea following a Ramblers walk went down well! Will come back again to try the lunches one day.

Very busy place, should have booked but didn't have to wait long. The food was exceptional, followed by an ice cream for the birthday girl (71) sat in the conservatory area listening to the birds outside followed by the heavy rain! Good coffee!

Served by the friendly Fiona our lunch was served promptly. There is a varied menu and choice of sweets and ice cream.

A great cafe for a good lunch. We popped in en route and had a lovely home made lunch. The ice creams looked lovely but we didn’t have space for them! Really friendly service and a good place for a pit stop. Also had a clean and roomy baby change.

Lovely surrounding, however you neex to book to get a table

Always good food, especially the cake!

Great find. The stuff are so friendly and helpful. The shop had a good selection to choose from.the cafe area was huge. Ice creams selection was great, and they certainly tasted good.

Great service and food choices all delicious

Good cafe, with plenty of choice, tasty food. Prompt and friendly service. Massive ice creams and nice pies.

Good food just a little pricey. Helpful & friendly staff.

Lovely food best 🍋 lemon meringue in the county

Good food, quick service reasonably priced.

Called in today for two ice creams as we have regularly done on the way home. However, we were very disappointed with the ice cream and service. It looked very soft as it was put on the cone and as the ice cream was passed to us it was melting. We asked the assistant if the fridges were working properly only to be told they normally make their own and this was a different supplier. Don't really see how this excuses serving such a sloppy ice cream. We were then charged £3.75 each for two single scoops. Looks like the price has gone up and quality gone down. Will not be rushing back

Went swimming here. The pool is beautiful

10/10 service, food was alright

Excellent service very kind staff great service great food marvelous coffee

Sunday roast. Lovely beef and good size portion but... 4 new potato, 7 slices of carrot,about a dessert spoon of broccoli and same of cauliflower..... between 2 adults. We asked for more. Next table I overheard discussing lack of veg and they asked for more gravy. BUT STAFF LOVELY

Hayton Farm Shop, very nice, clean and tidy with a good selection of snacks and food, staff also very nice and friendly. Plenty of parking spaces and also ideal for cyclist's wanting a stop off for coffee and cake 🎂 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️👍

Lovely food & friendly staff excellent service

Nice meal. Friendly staff...toilets could do with an upgrade but they are functional.

Great staff, very nice lunch and delicious ice-cream sundaes!

Just popped in on the way home for a hot chocolate coffee and Ice cream. This has been a staple stop off for Ice cream for my family for years. If you've not been you are missing out. Ice cream made with milk from their own cows. And if you fancy something more substantial they do lots of delicious meal choices as well 🙂

I have been to this cafe many times and it’s been excellent, but the standard today of the childrens sandwich was just awful, one slice of white bread folded over with minimal filling and 7 crisps I know the staff where extremely busy as tables were full of pots , but this was a treat and money is tight I hope they can improve on this in the future

Visited whilst on holiday and was surprised as it is described as a farm shop but does not have any fresh produce at all. It does have homewares, biscuits, jam etc but I think it's description is a little misleading. Having said that the cafe was very good, nice sandwiches and ice cream and it was very busy so that says something. So if you are going for a traditional farm shop you will be disappointed but will get a lovely bite to eat.

Great place to go to on a Sunday for either scone/cake & tea or Sunday lunch. There was people of all ages eating and the tearoom also catered for families of more than five. My mother and I had quiche and salade it reminded me of the old farmhouse style which was the best. For desert we had to try a homemade ice-cream sundae each again great taste and quality. All this washed down with plenty tea. The table service was excellent and after giving our order we didn’t have to wait long for our food. There was lots of cakes and scones to choose from also being a Sunday there was a specials board with the Sunday roasts and puddings. All the food looked like good traditional farmhouse fare. I will mostly certainly be calling back again. Thank you for great food & service

Lovely place, portion size slightly small but prices the same

Delicious lunch and ice cream sundaes, friendly staff and great shop

A modern old fashioned business, located off the main road down a well made narrow track. Loads of parking well attended, a pearl in the oyster of the countryside. My large scone was very appealing enough butter well served but dry.

Not exactly a farm shop. It's a huge cafe with gift shop attached. Good food at a good price. Busy so service can be a little slow at peak times. Cakes, scones and sandwiches. Hot and cold food/drink. Good for less abled customers.

Had a delicious waffle and raspberry ice cream

Lovely farm shop and cafe. Staff very welcoming and icecreams are yummy

Stopped on our way back home after a week away and glad we did! The home made quiche was divine, mac & cheese delicious (so I was told), fish platter yummy and my son demolished the coronation chicken wrap & chips so I assume that was good too 😋 We had cakes and ice cream sundaes to finish us off and they were all amazing. Lovely ladies serving and cooking. A delightful pit stop. We won't be needing tea tonight! Recommend.

Not a bad experience, reasonable food for the price, and the little shop and some Nice little brick-a-brack style bits, shame about the lady serving us who had the biggest cob on ever.. apart from that, I’d say worth dropping in if you’re passing while out on a weekend potter

Food is lovely from there,but felt a bit like we were an inconvenience standing waiting to be served. Maybe a better system or more staff to take care of folk waiting for a table versus waiting to be served ice cream pies,quiches etc bit unorganised.

Good food for a good price. Kind staff.

Great pool, coffee and ice cream. Shop itself is more gifts than farm produce

Very nice place and and the ice creams are superb 👍🏻

Serves meals indoors which are very good indeed. Also sell a great selection of ice creams among other wares. Worth a call in.

Stopped had a lite lunch food really good ,deserts to die for

Lovely food served promptly with a smile. The ice cream selection is absolutely gorgeous.

Stopped to visit the Farm Shop, which should really be called Gift Shop. Some attractive touristy gifts and local products ( but why Berwick on Tweed honey?) No fresh produce on offer. I am sure the large coffee shop/cafe popular but did not stop for this.

Hidden Gem. Excellent food and delicious coffees. Had the Brie and Cranberry toastie and their home made HedgeRow ice cream. Will come back again.

Great food and friendly staff will definitely call again 👍

Visited this morning for a coffee and a scone, lovely cheese scones, very nice.

Very nice place to eat quite and relaxing busy place and homemade ice cream, the food is fresh and well presented steak pie was delicious.

Went just for a coffee which was nice, place was very busy so if you want to eat you need to book in advance.

Good food. Great cakes. Nice gift shop.

We went for ice cream, the choice is amazing. Very friendly staff. Will definitely go again

Scones were really , really delicious

Little gem good food and friendly staff.

A lovely place a few miles east of Carlisle a very good large tea room with delicious homemade food, it can get very busy at times so a you may have to book a table in advance, lovely and helpful staff, the shop sells many various kinds of products, jams, pickles etc, locally brewed beer to jewellery it also has a very good private swimming pool which you can hire by the hour, a visit is highly recommended if you are visiting this area

Lovely place but ice cream was only ok

really nice, good time at the pool with family.

We were a returning couple and found the service was slower than our previous experiences at this location. The food is good solid fare with an excellent choice of sweets and ice cream.

We stopped for lunch on the way to the lake district and the soup sandwich combo was lovely.

Not bad, good choice of cakes and ice cream, and a swimming pool!

On our way to windermere we stopped here for lunch and well worth it to. Lovely food, we had the soup and sandwich combo.

Was nice, food ok. The shop was more like a gift shop than a farm shop, mainly jar products, little amount of baked goods and gifts.

Great place to go for a coffee and/or, take the grandkids for an ice cream.

Felt very safe. Staff all wore masks. Tables were well apart and sanitised between customers. Food and service excellent.

Lovely place great food, and the people that work there are so helpful will definitely be back.

Lovely lunch, great range if gifts in the shop.

Great meal and service was here for a family Christmas meal.

Been here a while back and been here half of a dozen times and the experience has been amazing every time! Went here with my brothers and they loved it and it really relaxed their muscles and minds!! I definitely recommend going here but prepare to book in advance prior to it being so booked up for weeks when we went.. The pool is a lovely blue colour to swim in with warm temperatures in the room! A bit of an echo to be expected but I brought my rubber ring with me and sat on the water with it and it was awesome!

Nice food, fast service and family friendly. We stopped for breakfast after checking out of near by glamping accommodation. No real complaints as such but there was no toast with the full English breakfasts, theres not many breakfast choices and they could offer smaller portions for children as the bacon sandwich my daughter got was huge and she couldn't manage more than half of it. A few more breakfast choices ie scrambled eggs with toast wouldn't go a miss. Will definitely return if we go that way again as the cream teas looked nice.
