Holwood Farm Coffee Shop in Bromley

Do not understand how this cafe is still going, the organisation is shockingly bad. How does it take 20 mins to serve a Black coffee and a slice of cake when all the hot food for the group (who ordered after me) got their items straight away. Your servers really didn't have a clue, sort it out please... every other coffee shop seems to manage pretty well and you weren't exactly busy either!

The butchers does good affordable biltong

Lovely farm shop and cafe, South african butcher very helpful and friendly. Steak and pork roast amazing. Will be back.

A very impressive range of upmarket groceries, a first class butcher and fishmonger. And a nice café to top it off.

Lovely food in cafe with excellent staff. Great farm shop with local produce and easy parking.

Brilliant Farm shop, highly recommended

Lovely cafe. We held a private function there for about 20 people at one end of the cafe and there was enough space without it feeling cramped. The food was good, the prices are reasonable and the vibe was great. Well worth the visit.

Best quality of meats and very friendly staff!

Great cafe above a farm shop. Delicious coffee and cake. Very welcoming to cyclists. Perfect for a stop on a bike ride around London/Kent borders

This is a lovely Farm shop off of Shire Lane with a Cafe upstairs. Packed with Cheeses meats Pies great Vegetables and much more ! Well worth a visit .

Staff are very friendly and the meat is high quality. We will be shopping there again.

Great shop and cafe with friendly efficient service. Highly recommend milktert from cafe and anything from the butchers!

Amazing farm shop with a great cafe

Only just discovered the place but we like what have gotten.

A lovely, upmarket farm shop with such lovely produce and welcoming staff. Really worth a visit! The cafe is lovely, quirly and modern with great views over the shop. My only critisism is that you can be waiting a long time for food, they can take quite a while to get food out to you and some people that arrive after you can get served before somehow. The plates need to be bigger as my wives breakfast came on a small plate like what you would serve a child and you can't eat properly on a tiny plate.

Great everything was beautiful collection was easy no hassle drove I and out. Will definitely be going again

Wonderful choice of foods, not cheap, but worth what you pay for quality and something different. Helpful staff. Lovely café upstairs for light bites. A fresh fish shop is open next door on certain days.

Great variety of products and lovely cafe. Highly recommended

Very expensive and quite a limited stock. I was expecting the cheeses that they show on line but didn't have any of the ones I wanted. All of the Swedes they had were soft and they had no tomatoes, no parsnips and only one or two potatoes. Very disappointed and won't be returning. Stick to Hewitt's Farm, they are far superior!

Great first visit. Against cave and a butcher to praise

Tasty roast dinner, roast potatoes were amazing, we loved it. Generous portions. Mum is delighted with her doggie bag for tomorrow!

Service in the restaurant was non existant. After 20 minutes of waiting a gave up.

Not the biggest farm shop but great produce and some interesting items. Good selection of vegetables, fruits, salad leaves, biscuits, pies dairy products and meats! Lovely pot of tea and Victorian sponge cake in the galleried cafe overlooking the food hall. Lots of parking space. Easy to find but bit of a walk if you took public transport. Bus stops outside in one direction but heading to Bromley it’s a 15 minute walk. We enjoyed our visit and would recommend the farm shop to others.

The first time we came here I think june the Victoria sponge we had was amazing, was really tasty and a huge slice! And the coffee too was nice, the service by a young lad was amazing too, unfortunately we thought we would try it again as thought this could may well be our new local coffee spot but the scones we had tasted a but stale! The cream wasnt clotted, no butter offered with scone! And the worst bit coffees not very hot which were brought out to us around 20/30 mins before our scones! By which time we had more or less finished our drinks which ob we wanted together with the scone! What a shame I dont think we will be back!

Nice farm shop - good quality products, lovely looking vegetables. Great little cafe upstairs. Has gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options on offer - for light meals, sandwiches and cakes - some also gluten free.

Very disappointing breakfast, waited a long time and then brought out cold mushrooms, beans forgotten off the plate and then brought out Luke warm. Sausage was also cold. When we told the waiter I was told they just said they can’t be!!! But no offer to change! I also informed the lady that took payment and no offer to at least take some money off, disappointing breakfast and poor customer service.

Best quality, best value, huge selection of fresh produce, great vibe and magnificent service!

Great place to drop in for a coffee or lunch. Popular with cyclists. Cafe on upper floor on an interesting balcony

Very nice breakfast lovely staff strongly recommend but though shop was a tad pricey.

Lovely little farm shop and cafe. We had the most amazing vegan burgers and very reasonably priced.

Amazing fresh produce everything looked so good. Customer service really good. We will be back. Also they have the best fish monger shop everything looked so fresh . We were on a long walk and stumbled across it can't waitvyo go back in the car and stock up.

Nice and Friendly staff. Always helpful for me.

Great cafe, delicious cakes. Also di gluten free cakes.

Tasty food and friendly service. Nice shop too.

Lovely shop :/ cafe / good bike stop etc

The new garden area is beautifully done with great views and a brand new cabin style place to order food and beverages. I was shocked at the price of 2 sausage sandwiches and a couple of hot drinks and won't return at those prices any time soon.

Enjoyed seating outside in the shop's cafe and the falafel salad was really good! Good selection of cakes as well. Just a shame only one of them was gluten free though...

The food undercook and sent to the wrong table even though they have numbers on the tables and to add on to that the wait was at least half an hour. The waiters were ok but could use a bit more of their common sense. Will not recommend and will not be visiting again.

No takeaway drinks for hikers only table service.

The biscuits I wanted were in stock!! Yay and many thanks 😁

Lovey place to go with the family or friends

Excellent lunch of fishcake with salad. Homemade burgers, paninis, sandwiches and soup available. Huge pieces of cake with good selection. Eat in or outside. There are fairly steep stairs to the restaurant from the well stocked but pricey farm shop. No cash payments..set afternoon tea available.

Clean quiet frendly with good food.

Had afternoon tea here today…delicious…and so much food…took some home with us. All washed down with tea, coffee and Prosecco. Then went shopping in their shop. Lovely, friendly staff as always 😊

Nothing to rave about! Nice little place abit pricey!

Had to wait over half an hour for soup, and then it wasn't the one I ordered! Feel we should have been told there was to be a significant delay when we ordered if there was a problem. We had to chase our order twice. Other customers who came in after us were being served before us. We hadn't planned that we would be at the cafe 1.5 hours for a simple lunch.

Coffee and cake downstairs popped in to get warm good staff offer us locks for our bikes

Like their chicken and fish produce.

This is the black pudding I bought on Friday 3rd December, I was told it was in date, surprise, surprise it was out of date… just the rest of the meat I purchased on that day… they should close up shop before they make someone seriously ill or worse if they are selling out of date meat, makes you wonder how they handle the food…

Went in there Friday, bought some black pudding, sausages, steak, beef rib, and chicken. Chicken was dated use by 6/12/21, took out the packaging this morning smelt off, the short beef ribs was also off with a use by date of 8/12/21 cooked the chicken even though it smelt bad this morning 5/12/21… Tasted it nearly threw up, I will happily add pictures later on to prove this isnt a fake review. I believe they are using out of date meat, repackaging it and sticking a new date on… stay clear if you don’t want to get ill with salmonella or other disease… wasted my money here won’t be returning… The chicken smelt like rancid rotten fish, it all had to be thrown Also keeping this for record incase I do become ill and can take action against this business

Not much of a farm shop. Almost no fresh produce at all just standard pre-packaged supermarket stuff.

Wouldn't go there again! Food was not great. Rice was not freshly made. Not catered towards all taste buds with variety of sauces. The meat counter assistant was not using gloves while handling meat and used the same hands to go on the computer, printer and other meats!! Plenty of cross contamination going on.

Visited the cafe which to my mind was rather overpriced. The sandwiches are served in 'pappy' cheap supermarket bread without any garnish, and at £5.95, I would expect, at least, fresh bakers bread. The sauce was served in a plastic bottle and wasn't 'brown ' as requested but 'bbq'. I feel in today's environment, sachets would be more hygenic. Service was slow and all in all not very welcoming. After being shown to a table and asking if it was waitress service we had to gain the attention of a member of staff to give our order despite a couple of them walking around clearly not having anything to do. This is such a shame, as the building is a stunning vaulted barn which could be utilised to provide a wonderful dining experience. I also think the lighting could be improved. Not sure why cheap amateur painting were for sale on the walls either?

Love but of food. Helpful staff

It was ok I wanted to be better Disappointed on poached eggs were hard very disappointed on the sausages very salty 🧂 😕 cup Cappuccino Was good Friendly staff I think that we will come back but not to eat the sausages and also they Charge for babyccino Which is frothy Milk £1.65 in baby cup

Four of us had delicious all day brealfasts

Beautiful little farm shop and cafe tucked away with ample outdoor seating and great views. Only went to the outdoor cafe so can’t comment on the rest, but there was a wide selection of local drinks and the food was nice if not slightly small portions. Cakes were delicious! Service was a bit slow as there weren’t many staff, but didn’t really affect our enjoyment.

Lovely produce and gifts but a bit pricey!

Great little shop. Staff are friendly. The cakes are great as is the butcher and cheese counter.

Lovely tea garden at the back serving great cakes, perfect for a refueling stop when out for a bike ride 👍🏼

As good as a farm shop should be

Visited today for first time for a very long time. Would now rate as 4 stars as it has a far better and wider range of stock than when I visited previously previously. Would describe it as a deli rather than a farm shop though. Perhaps on the more expensive side of the pricing scale for its products..

A great find….lovely shop, cafe and tea garden….we will definitely return soon.

Popped by for tea and cake in the new garden area with my mum and it was lovely. Great set up and it's a little more peaceful than other places as they don't have a kids playground so you can just have some chill time. The girls working there were so kind and friendly and the cake was excellent!

Friendly brilliant place good fresh veg. Support your local shops . Easy parking.

Food is good but the atmosphere is well.....odd. Greeted outdoors in the car park by a full face visored employee asserting that masks must be worn set the tone. Inside it looked like the young staff are in some kind of pandemic induced fear standing back wearing masks behind high screens and unhappily watching and watching customers with fixed unsmiling faces Nerves were almost audibly jangling. I think this lot needs to calm down. Also, there really is nothing particularly fresh and local being sold here and it seems unlikely that the shop is connected to a farm. All a bit odd.

I didn't visit the shop as I find it overpriced. However I had a very nice lunch at the cafe that was also reasonably priced in lovely surroundings if sitting outside.

Fab farm shop. Great local delicacies and lovely coffee shop. Definitely worth a trip

Lovely Farm Shop with a nice selection of items. Coffee shop in the back is a quiet, pretty setting. Good Coffee!

Very friendly and helpful people - great service (I had booked to collect yesterday and forgot, they called me and said just show up tomorrow…) and great food for BBQ!

Butcher, grocer and baker all in one. Nice shop with parking. Very nice staff.

Absolutely great Great food and service The place is also quite beautiful

Good selection great choice. Meat and cheese first class. Overall very impressed. Will have to try Fishmonger next time.

Great new outdoor seating with social distance and ample cycle parking!!

The shop is a seller of goods from small businesses and farms all over the UK, which is very good to see, a shop supporting small business owners and farms. However, this is not a farm shop in the sense that we expected. There is no farm there and therefore no local on-the-farm produce. Supporting these small businesses is great if you have the budget, but we did expect maybe local strawberries or eggs at a straight-from-the-farm price and were disappointed. The cafe attached to the shop uses ordinary commercial restaurant little packs of butter and jars of cream. The cream was also supposed to be clotted cream but was a runny double cream or single cream. The scones were more like rock cakes. The staff were mostly unhappy. This business should be honest about what they do, rename themselves, and put an accurate description of what they really offer. Having said all the above, it was an interesting visit to somewhere different.

Shop is lovely The food dining not so good . Burnt fish cake served up. Youngsters need guidance on how to relate to customer and there needs . Polite but lack professionalism Cake & cuppa or coffee to be safe. Unless it improves.

Great having lots of spaces to lock up your bikes easily. Lovely views in the rear garden area.

A very sweet shop and cafe. Lots of cheese and meat variety.

Lovely service and delicious coffee and cake

Holwood have created a new open space for coffee and nibbles. It has a lovely outlook over farmland and trees. Parking is as before and very convenient. The menu is limited but the quality is good and the price reasonable. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Excellent little shop very helpful staff

Great resource in difficult times

Love the new tea garden! Safely socially distanced tables, waitress service, very friendly staff.

Does not accept cash !!, i will not be supporting this business, which is a shame as it had some nice things

Lovely outside venue, and Holwood Farm has done all they can to be Covid compliant and made you feel very safe, unfortunately the grub was terrible and really expensive. Sausage sandwich for £5.95, yesterday's stale bread and tough skinned sausages... not good for this price. Left the sandwich because it was so bad, asked what cakes they had, every flavour other than Victoria and Carrot cake.... good job really because it might have cost a second mortgage..... I won't be going back.

Nice shop with all sorts of tasty goodies.. LOVE the new garden tea room, really beautiful setting & fabulous food. Just make sure to take a coat as it can be a little exposed to the wind..

Produce is good, if a bit expensive. But staff always seem so fed up and unfriendly. No smiles or eye contact. Only go there for quality of meat, not the customer service.

Terrible food, stale bread cold bacon, expensive

A good selection of niche products. Fish mongers / store next door.

Great farm shop. Delicious food and drinks. So nice to sit in the open space.

First time here. Staff were quiet unwelcoming and was made to feel that being there was an inconvenience to them. Shall take my business elsewhere in the future.

First time there. Lovely deli and bread. Didn't like the sausages - tough skins. Veg looked good.

Tried out the click and collect service for the first time last week and cannot fault the ease of process and high level of service we received. Always a great selection of products available, and our choices from the meat counter were full of flavour. The chilli cheese bread and scotch eggs are a firm favourite in our house. Yum!

Great farm shop, fantastic selection of produce and gifts with an excellent butcher and fishmonger on site.

Appalled at how we were spoken to by a member of staff. Having used the shop and the cafe for years we expected better and will not be returning. I'll update with a view to the owners response. My family arrived at the shop having walked from our home and we were totally compliant with all of the covid protocols that were in place. It was only I who entered the shop and did so without questioning policy. I purchased a chocolate bar for my son (aged 2 who had cycled to the shop) and I then popped into the fish mongers based on site who were extremely polite and helpful. I purchased a small box of sushi containing 4 pieces. As I left, my son asked me to open his chocolate. We paused, sat on a railway sleeper in a near empty carpark and I opened the chocolate bar for him. We then opened the box of sushi. Within approximately 30 seconds we were approached by a member of staff who announced 'Hi, I'm very sorry, but with everything that's going on, we're asking people to get what they need and then .... you know...'. I enquired further as to what he meant and explained that we had just purchased the sushi to which he replied 'yes, and it is very nice.' He lingered with the apparent intent to usher us away. I am appalled at the arrogant, contemptuous and what could be perceived as being a money grabbing response with which we were met. At no point were we posing a risk to staff and the owners response to my initial feedback simply ratifies previous reviews I have read referencing a lack of understanding of covid compliance. It is such a pity as we have always been such fans and supporters of this business.

Badly managed. Rude. Expensive and lame.

Just collected our holiday food shopping - all looks really good. Charming service. Really efficient system of click and collect. Salmon en croute for tonight - delicious!

Had the Full English Breakfast and it was really nice. Big serving size and freshly cooked. Staff really friendly as well. Will be certainly coming back.

Nice food available. Occasionally have deals on their meat from the butchers stand.

A fantastic little cafe in a great location!!.. superb food and service. Staff were very welcoming and friendly.. loved it!! 10/10👍
