Hilltop Farm Shop in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Generally the food and service was ok but one small chipolata sausage for the kids meal with chips and beans for over £6 was very disappointing. I did mention it to the waitress. I understand how some customers might try it on ordering kids meals for adults but this was barely enough for our 18 month old grandson and definitely not enough for our 3 year old.

Disappointing. Ordered soup for my lunch assuming tomato ‘soup of the day’ would be homemade as is a farmshop and tomatoes are in season. When it arrived it looked and tasted like tinned soup. I did ask the waitress if it was homemade she said she would ask and returned saying it was . I really don’t believe this and would not have ordered it if I had thought it was out of a tin. I will not be returning

We went here a few years ago and it was really good so went back again but i guess nothing stays the same very dissapointed and not a lot of choice .

Very bland food for a farm shop and te vegaterian choice wasa joke. Slow service even though it was quiet, and overpriced. What a waste of a good site.

Went for coffee, really no atmosphere, so bought a slice of cake to take away. I was shocked when the price of one slice of cake was £3.90 but told it was apricot and almond cake, imagined it was going to be very nice. Very disappointed to find the only sign of both almond and apricot was the jam spread on top and a few flaked almonds . Shan't be going again.

Went today and was rather disappointed. £13.65 for a lamb burger and when they arrived, nothing on it, my wife got a slice of lamb lettuce, on the side no salad, instead barely a spoon of coleslaw, and chips. Quater of the plate was empty. I asked for more salad and got a very small portion of it. As I said note impressed, for that price you would expect more.

It’s been a long time since we last visited Hilltop unfortunately. Came back again today for a breakfast treat and I wish I could visit more often. Wonderful staff and good quality breakfast. Thank you Team Hilltop.

Dropped in here on a recommendation (so each to his own) and although it’s a nice setting and the cafe is airy and well laid out I waited over half an hour for food when there was no one else eating. I get that the food is cooked fresh (and it clearly was) but the wait is too long for fairly standard fair. Customer service was ok, but I was surprised not to be asked when I paid (at least) if all was well. It would’ve saved me writing this review! Food was ok, but not good value for money. Standard Warren’s sausages and very small helping for nearly ten quid. One for the tourists I think.

Be aware when ordering the ploughman's that half the plate is full of lettuce and has peppers included? 3 small blocks of cheese provided with one slice of ham. Very odd composition, the lunch ends up being very watery as the coleslaw and lettuce mix together. Could do with an update, get rid of the lettuce include a pork pie instead. Gluten free option just removes the bread and offers no alternative. Flat white was lacking and was more like a cappuccino. Staff are very friendly though, Milkshake is great for kids. Service is very quick.

Our coach party had lunch here, service was very good and quick. Marque for covered outside eating. Great farm shop

We visited here about 4 yrs ago & over our 2wks holiday had few beautiful meals here like home from home & so when back this way was really looking forward to visiting again but how wrong could we be.I had emailed 2mths previously & asked if they done vegetarian food & was told there was a separate menu for vegetarian/ vegan.Asked for the cheese ploughman's today & got told only the cheddar suitable for vegetarians & no separate menu to choose from, had got rid off all that few mths ago ???So vegetarians can have cheddar ploughman's or jacket potato with cheese & beans so much choice ---NotPlate half full off cos lettuce & 3 cherry tomatoes & bit off cucumber.Butter was rock solid so couldn't spread on bread so in total a total disappointment .Other person had the 3 cheese ploughman's & the blue cheese was 3/4 the rind

Had a fantastic breakfast here, staff were very friendly, the menu was flexible for us. The cakes looked so delicious we bought some cakes to take-away for lunch.It's just a shame that they close at 3:00, otherwise we would also have visited for a cream tea.

Have been here several times. Never disappointed. Good food, good service. Well done Hilltop. Keep up your excellent work

A huge thankyou to Jenny, her daughter/team.We visited the area from Hampshire for a special birthday.Ordered a Birthday cake from home.It was made beautifully and ready, waiting for us as pre planned on arrival. A lovely service much apprevisted!.A little gem well worth a visit and such lovely, kind helpful people with delicious treats for all tastes...ThankyouThe Gerretts

Well stocked farm and gift shop. Most importantly to me gluten free bread is available so had my happy egg sandwich

Breakfast was beautifully cooked and everywhere was clean. I first visited this place in June and just had to come back!! Lovely food and the perfect place for a quiet meal. The cakes were displayed well and the chocolate brownie was just amazing. I Will definitely be returning!

Nice setting, good food and friendly service. We had cooked breakfasts, food was locally produced and well prepared. Even though it was busy, we got food in good time. Would recommend the Big Hilltop cooked breakfast.

I can't understand the bad reviews all staff were very friendly,polite and helpful.Good selection of food on offer ,drinks,cakes,and soup we had were delicious.Well stocked shop ,bought some biscuits. Very happy

Wouldn't waste your time. Extremely rude staff. Their responses on peoples reviews shows what type of people they are. Supposedly dog friendly... but they are not. Don't follow covid regulations, seems to be one rule for one person and one rule for somebody else. Very awkward around anybody using the toilet, even being a paying customer! I don't need to go into any more details.. the reviews all seem to be similar which clearly shows something.. Give your money and custom to a business who will appreciate it.

We arrived at the farm shop and were intending on sitting down for a nice cup of tea and a bite to eat before looking round the shop. I needed the loo so asked at the counter where the lady was very abrupt and stated the facilities were only for cafe customers. I tried to explain that we’d like to sit down and order and she refused to let me use the loo until we’d done track and trace. Perfectly acceptable so I asked to track and trace and were rudely told she would not let us until we’d sat down to order. So we sat down and she walked off and refused to take our order. Not sure why we were met with such hostility, perhaps because we were younger than the usual clientele. Really disappointed as we were really looking forward to supporting a local business but felt we no longer had an appetite after we were made to feel so unwelcome.

I went there this morning for breakfast. Had been travelling for 2 hours and was desperate for the toilet. The lady was very rude and said there were no facilities. Even when I explained we were ordering breakfast she would not tell me where the toilet was until we had paid. Most unwelcoming and found her to be rude. The egg and bacon sarnie and cup of tea was good though.

As a local went with two friends for a late breakfast to celebrate my birthday, and cannot praise the meal highly enough. All three of our breakfasts were really delicious, plus we had excellent service.

Have eaten here before. The place has been well extended and space is impressive. Service was very friendly and speedy. However, our frittata was under-seasoned and the coffees lacked flavour. Unhappily, even at lunchtime, place seemed quiet, even though this place is in a prime site for incoming visitors. Some further work needed.

As a local who is not keen on crowds, I find there are few places to go to in the summer months where you can almost be guaranteed peace and quiet, but this is one place that does, at least when I've visited. Friendly, helpful staff, very good menu. I'm on a strictly controlled diet (allergies) at present but was able to find something good to eat. Outside there is fresh veg and fruit to buy, and a small selection of garden items. All well priced. Inside is charming, lots to look at, tables well spaced, very clean, lovely light and some lovely merchandise for sale if you fancy a browse - not the gaudy stuff you get in many town shops, but quality and quirky stuff at reasonable prices. Yesterday's visit was a joy, my first day out with a friend since the pandemic began last year, and I felt relaxed and safe. Hilltop is a precious local haven to while away an hour or two with a friend or family, I hope it never gets spoiled by too many people!

The Hilltop Farm shop we visited many times this week bears no resemblance to the previous review. We were staying local in Davidstow and sampled breakfast, lunch and tea at the cafe. We also used the shop for our daily needs, The produce was always fresh and reasonably priced. The staff were always attentive and very friendly. I can only assume as the owners states that the previous review was maybe for another establishment?. We are leaving this weekend to return home but before doing so will be calling in for another coffee and purchase some last minute presents.Thanks for a week of great food.

Lovely farm shop & great staff but cafe was very disappointing I had the “ Ploughman’s Lunch” for just under £10. For half a plate of salad with just 3 little chunks of cheese, ONE slice of brown bread (no butter) and a tiny amount of basic pickle. For the amount of money I excepted special homemade or locally made products. But felt like I was on rations - sorry

You have staff wandering around without any masks on, touching their hair and not washing their hands afterwards...order food for takeaway so still a paying customer but not allowed to use the toilet facilities because we aren’t sat at a table. I said I have the track and trace app but no, waited for payment before refused the use of the facilities. Over 20 minutes we have to wait for a bacon sandwich. I think it’s disgusting, rules being made as they go along, there was no logic in not being able to the toilets all because we aren’t sat at a table. Maybe they should follow the actual rules first like wearing a mask whilst in the work place before making up their own! Will not be returning to this place.

Not operating table service, had to go up to place order a member of staff not wearing a mask whilst putting out stock, food took quite a while to come out, food was generally okay to be fair a typical greasy spoon, I gather this would be great if you were hungover. Prices in shop are quite expensive too. Probably wouldn’t return in a hurry. No intention to be nasty, just an honest review.

This has fast become our goto breakfast when visiting my mum. The service is always awesome and the staff are super friendly. The food is well presented and tastes lovely. The shop is worth a look around as well.All in all this definitely is worth a visit when your in the area

Had delicious breakfast here. Extremely COVID-19 cautious and dog friendly in terrace. Easy car parking.

Not much there at all really, very small and little choice. But quality entertainment reading the reviews and owners' responses :pA much better place to go is the Trevathan farm shop near Port Isaac. Great food and location and even has some coin-op diggers and tractors for the kids to play on!

I've lived in the area for 10 years now and thought why not I'm going to give it a try! I ordered poached egg on toast and an earl grey tea.I waited 1 hour 5 minutes for 2 pieces of toast and 2 eggs. The cafe was quiet, so was no excuse.The lady at the till said we cook things fresh and ready to order. However I don't think 2 eggs and 2 Alice's of toast take an hour. Moving onto the tea, It came in a teapot that was coated in dust! (Please in times like these wipe YOUR EQUIPMENT DOWN)When pouring my tea the handle came of from where the teapot was previously broken and spilt tea everywhere. To then be given empty sugar sachets, that have quiet clearly been used by someone else. The service was terrible. No eye contact. No check back on food. And no apologies about the wait. And update on food would have been amazing. A clean polished knife and fork would have made things better. A gently wiped teapod would look better. Please in times like this. Take extra care and attention of your cafe. Empty, used sugar sashes should not be given to another customer 'by accident'

We had a lovely breakfast here! We were staying near by so very happy to have had a lovely breakfast right on our doorstep. The quality of the ingredients were great and very tasty (especially the hash brown bites!). My partner had the large breakfast(in photo) and I had the normal breakfast. Very well organised with social distancing. Would return again!

Bit out of the way. Very well organised from Covid perspective. Good Farm shop but cream tea was a bit disappointing...scones not brilliant and very skimpy with clotted cream ( for 2 scones)

Just had a week in Cornwall with my husband, obviously not wanting to cook on holiday we found the Hilltop Cafe and Shop. What an amazing little gem. We had breakfast every morning there was a great choice on the menu and something for everyone. The Cafe is lovely and bright and the shop has a great choice of produce.The staff could not do enough for you and always happy to have a chat no matter how busy they were. The social distancing was observed at all times. We will miss our breakfast now we are home. Definitely recommend.

Excellent service and the food was also excellent, catered for my wife who is a coeliac so good choice for her with gluten free food.

Stopped here for coffee and cake. Lovely produce and food, but beware possibly due to covid no toilet only a staff toilet.

Serious lack of social distancing and masks, one way system which only seemed to apply to people the staff felt it needed to. Dog friendly is laughable at best. Wanted to try the highly recommended cream tea but turned up only to be shouted at through the window that the cafe shuts at 3pm - update your website and Facebook page to say this it would save a lot of disappoint for people! How’re this wasn’t a huge problem as I still wanted to have a look at in the shop and see all the local produce, only to be ‘greeted’ if you can call it that by rude & snappy staff with a serious attitude. Didn’t even get to step foot in the shop.

I would not recommend dining here. Myself and my partner (and 5.5 month old dog) thought we would stop here to have some lunch before our 5 hour drive back home. What a big mistake that was. We initially walked in and there was a table of people smoking on the terrace which looked like they had all been there all day. There were tables outside of the terrace which the smokers should really be sat at. We ordered food (which was very overpriced for what it was!) with quite a rude lady who was very pushy as it was almost 3PM and the kitchen closes at 3PM. She kept repeating herself that we needed to be quick! (Although we were that quick we didnt have time to think!) We sat on the terrace as we had our dog and she can sometimes be anxious around alot of people. She was as good as gold throughout our whole meal. (Kindly seasoned with the lovely taste of cigarette smoke).I thought I would use the toilet prior to our 5 hour journey home and the Male member of staff, although showed me and unlocked the toilet door for me, was still very abrupt telling me to 'wait over there' (due to covid) understandable but abrupt and rude. Whist I was in the toilet, i could hear some commotion with our dog (mini sausage dog). A large dog had come into the terrace and our dog started to bark and the other dog was also whining alot. (Dogs being dogs). The Male member came out to ask us to leave if our dog continues to bark (she had only been barking for a couple of minutes and it was clear my partner was trying to get the situation under control.). I doubt they would have asked us if we were yet to order food and spend our money!! On top of this, we both found some very small black hairs in our dinners (as though the chef had his hair cut) Also, we overheard a conversation with the female member of staff saying that she refuses to participate in track and trace due to 'GDPR'... so on top of this, if any of us come into contact with covid, we wont know about it and will continue to spread. Not a very nice place. Supposedly dog friendly... I wouldnt bother.

After a visit to the superb Cornwall at War Museum, we headed for the Hilltop Cafe/Restaurant/Farm Shop.Just a few minutes from the Museum.( A39, take the Tintagel/Boscastle road, just a couple of hundred yards on the right hand side is the Hilltop Cafe).We had Cream Teas which were excellent, and included a pot of tea.Excellent service, and spotlessly clean.good value for money,and a lovely end to our afternoon out.Stewart and Ginny GarsideLancashire.

We had great food today all set in the best covid-19 protected seating I have seen. Everywhere was so clean with a set regime in place very impressive. I took my 99 year old Mum with me her first time out since March she felt safe.

We found this delightful place whilst driving around for a place to stop for a light lunch and what a lovely find. The owner and all the staff were incredibly friendly so please ignore the horrid poor review below ! My family and I shared some Cornish cream teas and pasties and the quality was very good. The menu is also very varied with lots on offers. Lovely gift shop and mini supermarket on site and we bought some delightful photos taken by a local teacher which have now been framed and take pride of place in our hallway. This wonderful farm shop and cafe are highly recommended and thank you for your very kind hospitality.

Always a pleasure! We have just popped to the Hilltop for Sunday breakfast; we do come often because the food and atmosphere are always great! The cafe has been spaced out perfectly to ensure a safe distance from other diners, without feeling isolated. The staff are attentive, hard working and always make time to engage in polite conversation, even when some guests can be very rude! It’s been a really challenging season, (we work in the holiday industry) - but this is one place we have always felt safe, welcomed and happy! Can’t recommend enough! Also, plenty of salt, pepper and sauce sachets :-)

What a beautiful little gem with lovely views. Ate lunch there for the first time today and it was delicious, best chips I’ve had for a long time! Cornish burger with bacon & cheese was yummy, we also bought food to take away, all the staff were very welcoming, friendly and happy to accommodate our needs, the owners came out to chat to us when they were less busy which was appreciated. I will definitely be going back! Thank you for a great lunch experience and the superb food you served us

The food is good but not value for money over priced and under sized.But the worst thing for me was the service I Booked a table but when I got there i was informed my name not in the diary.I ordered a meal for 3 and 2 pots of tea and a lemonadeWas given 1 sugar sachet for a pot of tea and 3 salt and pepper sachets for 3 people.In future I suggest you ask the paying customer how many sachet they would like.This is one local that will not return

I have lived in Cornwall for 22 years and have heard several people say how good the food is here so I decided to take my daughter and Granddaughter for a birthday treat. On arrival, despite booking in advance our booking could not be found in the diary. I explained that I had originally booked for Tuesday but changed the booking on Monday evening to Wednesday. The weather was extremely hot and we sat at the only picnic bench available on the grass outside before deciding to move to the covered decking area because it was too hot. We sat down and I went and placed our food order. This area is covered in perspex and whilst waiting for our food it became horrendously hot even more so than outside so I went inside and told the lady on the till that we were moving back to the grassed area because it was too hot under cover, she replied 'everywhere's hot' in a very rude tone of voice.Whilst waiting for our food I nipped to the toilet and on my return my daughter said the lady on the till had shouted across to her from a distance and in earshot of other customers to keep the dog quiet as she had received complaints. The little sausage dog barked twice as a dog passed it and was quiet at all other times so we found this hard to believe. It's supposed to be 'dog friendly,' do they not realise that occasionally dogs bark?We continued to wait for our food and my daughter decided to go and get a doggie icecream. When she went up to get the icecream my daughter overheard a member of staff talking to the woman on the till about us, who replied in a derogatory manner. Apparently the food we were waiting for was taken to the table we had moved from despite me notifying them we'd moved. The table had rejected the food and they had binned it instead of bringing it to us. Hearing the conversation my daughter had heard enough and wanted to leave. I went inside to explain to the lady on the till that she'd been rude and that we would not be staying and I requested a refund. She then accused me of being rude, which was not the case. I was then confronted by a man who joined in with her. This was meant to be a happy relaxed day in the sunshine to celebrate my daughter's recent birthday, instead it was a nightmare. In 22 years of living in Cornwall and visiting restaurant's and cafe's in the area I have never come across such a downright rude person. The lady gave me a refund and implied that it was all my fault before asking me not to put a bad review on Trip Advisor. If you have time, please read the responses from Hilltop Farm shop to any poor reviews and you will realise that according to Hilltop Farm Shop the customer is always WRONG!! I'm not aiming this review at all the staff there, just the older lady on the till who made our experience extremely unpleasant and spoiled the rest of our day. This was not just poor customer service this was downright rudeness and an attitude that if I was her Manager I would be sending her out of the door with her P45 and telling her never to return. This member of staff is a detriment to the business,Would I recommend this place, NEVER!!!!I'm expecting a negative response from Hilltop Farm shop (like all other poor reviewers received) and all I can say is, if you're into the Basil Fawlty experience (definitely without the humour) this might be the place for you, otherwise life's too short, go somewhere where your custom will be better appreciated and you're made to feel welcome, humans and animals alike...Please note - I had to rate 1* for food as it was the only option available but we did not eat here. Our rating is based on staff attitude and overall experience!!

Lovely farm shop and cafe , lunch was excellent , really good coffee, not too long await on food considering they were very busy.As for produce in shop, I thought excellent value for money as there was ample local Cornish produce, just what you expect from a farm shop.Well done to you all and definitely worth a visit

I love farm shops in the West Country being from Dorset. This was my most disappointing visit to a farm shop. Very small. Was disappointed with lack of fresh produce. Most goods were branded ones you'd find in a supermarket . Burgers were frozen not fresh. Owner was very rude and couldn't get us out quickly enough even though we had face masks on. We will not be going back. Better alternatives are the other farm shop along the road for fresh food and good service or for branded goods the local Coop or even Sainsbury in Bude.

we wanted a good old fashioned hearty breakfast and boy. We weren’t disappointed. Friendly service , a warm welcome and a delicious breakfast .. we will be back.

Food was average however the cakes did look amazing! The one thing I’d say that let down this cafe is the staffing-I appreciate the difficult situation we are in at the moment but there is no need to be rude to customers as a result. Found most of the staff abrupt and rude so if you’re looking for a homely experience I wouldn’t recommend here.Don’t open the cafe to invite customers in if you’re not going to be welcoming.

If carlsberg did breakfast this would be it!superb! really enjoyed the large cooked breakfast probably the best I've ever had so far! friendly helpful staff thank you for an excellent start to our holiday!

We camped on a nearby equestrian site and we were pleasantly surprised to find a local farm shop so close. There are reviews on here that dogs are welcome, but ours certainly wasn’t, even though they sell dog ice creams. We were disappointed with the size and stock supplied. Small veg selection and an odd assortment of tins, jars and bottles inside. There’s a sort of gift shop tagged on making it an odd assortment. Would also argue that a lot of takeaway, fridge, frozen options are not very vegetarian friendly. Some younger staff very nice/polite and some of the older staff members openly rude and abrupt!

There wasn't an option for a score of 0,but that would have been my score! We experienced an extremely rude member of staff when entering the farm shop! After having a nice experience at the farm shop on our trip down to Cornwall last year, we purposely aimed to stop at this farm shop for a coffee, treats for the kids and walk the dog. Upon arrival into the entrance with my young daughter we were abruptly asked to sanitise our hands. When I asked the woman member of staff was it OK to use the cafe for take away coffee's and food, I was rudely told (as if I should have been aware of this!!) that the cafe closed at 3.30pm and they had cleaned down, so it wasn't possible (no signs were up about this closing time and all signs still said open!). When I then asked if we could buy something in the shop and use the toilets, I was very rudely told 'I've just told you! Everything's been cleaned down and this is not a public convenience!'. I was extremely offended and shocked by her rudeness, so turned out of the shop with my daughter and said we would go elsewhere. The woman then carried on by saying to me 'No need for the attitude...this isn't a public convenience!!'. To which I replied that I didn't i didn't have an attitude and simply came to the cafe to purchase goods, have a rest and use the toilets. She carried on saying I had an attitude...while we were walking away. She was extremely unprofessional....a most unpleasant woman who was so rude to myself and my young daughter.I spoke further to the manager to complain about this woman, who, although a little more pleasant, didn't apologise and simply re-iterated about the closing times.I'll add that the whole time I was talking to the manager outside, this woman was laughing at me from inside the shop window!!If you want pleasant customer service, polite staff and somewhere which appreciates their customers, GO ELSEWHERE!! I fully appreciate opening and serving in this current climate is different and hard, but why open and invite customers in if you can't treat them nicely!!!

Visited yesterday and had the best breakfast around, the team never fail with a welcome and after a long time of not visiting it was sure great to be going there. The newly added extension looks great and it was great to feel safe during the pandemic crisis

Looking for a bite to eat after visiting the Cornwall at War Museum up the road, and found the Hilltop Farm Shop. We were quickly seated at a lovely table in their new extension and were quite pleased with the extensive menu for lunch featuring Cornish products. I had the Cornish pork & apple burger after debating having the Cornish crab cakes and loved the flavour. My husband had the Cornish ham egg & chips. All freshly made in generous portions. Clean & bright & very friendly. What a find!

A volunteer at the Davidstow war museum recommend this place. There is a cosy outdoor seating area if you are accompanied with a dog. Staff are extremely friendly. Food stops being served a 3pm and cream teas at 4pm.

On Friday last week I made a delivery to this business. I was so impressed with the way they are going about trying to help there customers in what is a difficult time especially there daughter who delivered some supplies to an elderly lady who had bought things for other people and then went on to deliver them aswell for her.i wish there was more people like this .thanks for the cup of tea which was much appreciated. Keep up the good work .

Lovely breakfast served to my Mum & I accompanied with outstanding service. So impressed infact we've booked in for the whole family to have a breakfast in honour of my birthday . Thank you in particular to the young lady with long Auburn hair in a ponytail, she made us feel so welcome!!Lovely to have such a hidden gem on our doorstep.

We stopped by at this farmshop/cafe for lunch - my wife enjoyed the home-made soup and I enjoyed a 'Ploughman's Lunch' with three Cornish cheeses.

Friendly staff Very good wholesome food with a good choice. It has a lovely gift shop with locally made gifts. Closes too early as have been around at 4 pm and was to late

Smelt fabulous from the car park Cheese Scone was home made and looked pretty good but disappointingly it was microwaved which is never a good sign Leek and potato soup - having just read a recent review I totally agree that the soup was watery , none the better for adding salt and pepper No one asked if everything was alright so I took the meal back to the counter as this was not enjoyable, no taste to the soup and the rubbery scone was hardening Regretfully I should have gone without, but ordered a jacket potato , reheated by that microwave and by now eating alone as my friends had finished The bottom of this potato could not be cut with a knife - too late and too embarrassed to mention this

we both ordered the soup and had gluten free bread/sandwich,the soup was mushroom and cornish blue cheese,it arrived looking like dish water,grey and bits floating in it,there was no thickness to it,almost like they were running out and added more water to stretch it further,I managed about an inch of it and my friend about 1.5 inch's.It tasted terrible.we had a cup of tea to wash the taste away,paid and left

We have eaten here a couple of times before, always been satisfied, today however was the first time we have had their breakfast. Wow it was so good, all very tasty and well cooked, we will definitely be back.

We had breakfast here and loved it! Freshly cooked, excellent value and in a welcoming and friendly place. Can’t wait to come back for a cream tea!

Having driven by on numerous occasions, my wife and took the opportunity whilst our littley was at school to pop in for an early lunch. We loved it and will certainly be returning soon. Thank you for a glorious lunch.

Meg and the Hilltop team recently helped us out with catering for our lowkey, spontaneous wedding at a campsite near their shop/cafe, and did the most amazing job! Meg chatted through menu options and helped make an amazing selection within our budget with only a few weeks to go before the day. The food was really delicious (everyone was stuffed and happy) and all the communication was really smooth. Would absolutely recommend them!

We came here as a 20 strong group of local cyclists. We phoned ahead for warning of our arrival and we had excellent service. Cheese scones were lovely and tea/coffee was great. Its good when local businesses meet local customers, not always the case in summer!

Popped in for a cuppa and a cream tea, lovely fresh warm scones accompanied with cornish clotted cream and jam, no faults at all, just what we needed after a poor lunch in Tintagel, we will be back for a full lunch at some point.

On the way home from our holiday we called for breakfast. The place had been recommended to us. A warm welcome from what appeared to be a family run establishment and the food was superb. Everything, sausages, bacon and mushrooms were very fresh and not from a super market. One of the best breakfasts I have had! There is also a shop selling foods, craft items and souvenirs.

My friend and I came and had a nice catch up and a meal. We decided to sit outside as it was still the end of summer - even though it wasn't particularly warm. The food was nice and the gazebo thing we were sat in was quite nice as well. The price for the food was good for what you got.

We always go to Hilltop for lunch when we holiday in Cornwall each year. They used to be very welcoming to dogs and the menu was excellent.

"A great find on" our holiday to Cornwall August 2019. Would certainly recommend, fabulous fresh local meat, foods & produce amazing fillet steaks. Staff very friendly, great service & off the beaten track away from the crowds , forgot to mention wonderful Cream Tea.

Having visisted many local farm shops with my young family, its refreshing to find one where, not only are you not ripped off, but also welcomed with young noisy children!

Such a great place to visit, great food, freindly staff, and a great little farm shop, well worth a visit

Don't go if you have young children you will not be made to feel welcome. It's not very child frendly

Whilst this place might be off the beaten track it’s certainly worth the visit! Excellent food and friendly, fun staff made for a very enjoyable lunch visit. Burgers are super tasty and Milkshakes are lovely!

Perfect for a snack. Good value and friendly efficient service. Will definitely go back during this trip.

Lovely quiet farm shop, food is amazing good quality ingredients all freshly prepared. Friendly staff good value for money.

We were a large family party with some food intolerances and allergies all beautifully looked after. There were 9 completely different burgers and each order came out perfectly which is not an easy task!

Super place. Wre had several tea and coffees, and one lovely home- cooked lunch! Very reasonable prices for top quality food and drink. Delightful staff. Wellworth a visit.

We call Hilltop our second home because we probably eat here as often as we do home. The staff are so welcoming and the food is delicious. The shop attached has some lovely locally sourced products to browse before/after you eat. Meg’s cakes are to die for!!

Excellent quality food, service and super value for money. Stopped here on a recommendation and can wholeheartedly say it was well worth it. A good selection on the menu and specials.

Fantastic vegetarian breakfast, each element of high quality and perfectly cooked. A great menu with daily specials, new, extensive vegetarian and vegan menu. Caters for g/f also. Very naughty desserts and cakes. Friendly staff team, well stocked farm shop, some plants too. Undercover dog friendly area. Amazing views across the countryside. What's not to love?

Well what can I say, we have visited several time but it is not consistent. We have had some lovely lunches and then been let down with a not so good meal. Not sure if it was volume of customers and lack of staff that was the problem.

We do like the Hilltop Farmshop and cafe. However on our last visit my eyes were bigger than my belly! Absolutely great food and drink with good portions. I made the mistake of ordering the biggest breakfast and struggled to eat it all - I didn't need anything else for the next 24 hours!! Undergoing another expansion. Excellent service. Good parking.

Another visit to this excellent cafe and shop. The shop has changed since last year and offers a good range of locally produced items.

Eventually located this lovely cafe/farm shop having decided we needed to sample a Cornish cream tea on the last day of our holiday. Website said that cafe closed at 5pm but on arrival at 4.10 we were informed that the cafe closes an hour before the shop.

We went for lunch today and had the ploughman’s , the only downside was they gave us a soft granary bap with it , it really should be served with crusty white or brown bread or baguette, but overall very nice .

We feel that standards have dropped since Hilltop Farm Shop received the Taste of the West award last year. The menu is more limited and not as adventurous, the cooking is not as well executed and waiting times can be quite long (30 minutes), even for a sandwich when the restaurant is not busy. The kitchen can sometimes close early, contradicting the time stated on the board outside the restaurant. The owners have mentioned on TripAdvisor that any problems with food should be mentioned at the time. On two occasions we have passed polite, constructive comments and have found the owners' response to be quite rude and insulting, which made us feel uncomfortable. Dining out should be a pleasant experience, but sadly, this has not been the case recently at Hilltop. Such a pity!

Quick and efficient service in pleasant surroundings. I had a cream tea, the scones were large, warm and soft with plenty of jam and clotted cream. I was there an hour before closing time and there was no hot food left, just tea cakes, cake and scones. Seemed reasonable value for money. There was produce and coal for sale in the farm shop. I'd go there again.

Service average, dining area rather cramped. Food good but not much vegetarian on offer. Rather limited choice in the adjoining shop, ditto for the fresh cakes. Got the impression the place is growing too fast for the available trade, as it is a little off the beaten track. Not much of a view from the outside dining area. Prices a little high.

Good food and coffee. Nice little shop selling anything from food, firewood, plants in the summer and great little ideas for presents. Plus the staff are always friendly and a smile to welcome you.

A brilliant breakfast this morning.

Very friendly staff nice surroundings good food and never rushed to vacate table will certainly use it more often

Had booked a table for 4 at 2 o clock on a Thursday after xmas restaurant was full ordered our lunch and had to wait 45 minutes to get our food because they had to wait for the roast potatoes I think the drinks over priced £3.50 for a soft drink

We were staying about 2 miles away for a week and visited at least twice for breakfasts which were amazing and very well priced. Staff were all extremely pleasant and nothing was too much trouble, especially as we had 3 in our party of 8 who were gluten free. The shop also had an extremely good range of a variety of food, drink and other products. Highly recommended and look forward to visiting again when next in Cornwall.

Called in here today for breakfast

We have always loved visiting this shop cafe, during the summer and winter, as we live locally. Sadly we have seen it change over the last couple of years. We went for Sunday lunch and the choice has now shrunk to only four choices; Gammon, Beef, !Minced beef pie or Seabass, nothing for a vegetarian who doesnt eat fish. The meals are overpriced, meat overcooked, thin and fatty slices. Vegetables used to be served on the side, but now it is plated like a school dinner. The carrots were clearly microwaved and parsnips undercooked. In comparison to other restaurants including carveries in the vicinity it is now sadly left lacking, perhaps that is why it was empty today when it used to be very popular. Its a great shame that dogs are no longer welcomed indoors as well, will prevent dog owners visiting in the winter. This reflects the change in the atmosphere, used to be friendly, fun and inclusive. Such a shame.

Beautiful breakfast in a beautiful setting. Handy little Shop too. My son and I often pop there for a breakfast treat and to enjoy the peace and quiet.

We enjoyed our visit last time so much that we've come back again and we weren't disappointed. The staff are so lovely and the food delicious. The service was very quick too! Had to buy some 'essentials' from the shop but they stock so much it was hard to make a decision! Hope to be back again soon. Would highly recommend.
