Hilltop Farm Shop And Cafe in Melton

Lovely food served by people who obviously enjoyed their work. Good management and friendly staff. Great range of desserts which we will try next time.

Came over from Nottingham with a few friends and decided to pull in for something to eat. I wish we hadn't bothered! The staff rude and were all kids who clearly couldn't care less. The food, when it finally arrived, was mediocre at best. The farm shop was ridiculously over priced and the plants all looked half dead. We will never come here again at all. You would be better off going to Fernley's on the other side of Melton Mowbray...a much better experience!

Good food, ample portions and very fast service. The shop is a bit pricey but the veg is great. Nice atmosphere even when busy and a very nice place to go.

We visit Hilltop when we can, mainly when visiting family. On Sunday we met up with my girlfriends family and had a light meal, which was very good. I went into the shop to buy a treat for a friend of mine, a cherry bakewell cake. It looked nice, more money than l thought it would be worth, but it was for a friend. He gave me his opinion saying that the label over sold, and the product under delivered. He said there was no taste of almond, and little cherry taste, the drizzle on the top of the cake was only on the top and had not soaked into the cake. At over £3 for this gift, l was disappointed. I think t is captive audience syndrome..my review of 2 stars is not indicative of my general opinion of the venue..

They regularly have a couple of gluten free cake options but only one of these has clung film on, the other is in a cake cabinet without covering. I have asked why this is, no response... I havr explained the issue of cross contamination and still no response.
