Home Farm Tea Rooms in North Dorset

DO NOT BOTHER!!!! 1.5 hour wait for a bacon sandwich is enough to test anybody’s patience. Refunded, walked out and had to change entire days plans. They were still taking orders at this point. Absolute joke Avoid Avoid avoid!!!

This place is a solid 10/10. The food is just fantastic and the surroundings are beautiful. I've been twice - once for a mother's day afternoon tea & once for the Friday evening pizza night - and have been so impressed both times. My husband is gluten free and the fact they homemade the gf pizza base was well impressive (usually places buy in the generic gf bases from the supermarket and charge a small fortune!) The team are so friendly and attentive that the whole experience has been so positive during both of my visits. I just need to get in and try breakfast next...! I highly recommend a visit.

What an absolute gem nestled in beautiful and tranquil countryside. We visited with our cockapoo for breakfast today. The food, venue and staff were wonderful. Sadly our pup didn’t go much on the doggy ice cream as he was far more interested in sampling our delicious bacon and sausages 🤣. We sat outside to eat in the sunshine all the while being entertained by the resident donkeys, goats, chickens and ducks ( bliss) We could have stayed all day. After breakfast we had a lovely walk along the many bridle paths on the dooorstep. The owners have clearly wanted to provide a first class service at the same time as keeping it as an integral part of the local village. Lots a seating inside and out. We are planning to book for one of the regular pizza nights. Think we are fast going to become regulars!

Really nice breakfast in a nice location - great staff! Went with friends and we did a little walk afterwards. Good coffee.

So glad I found this little gem to celebrate my mums birthday. We had afternoon tea and it was all beautiful, there was so much we needed to take doggy bags home! The staff from start to finish were very attentive asking us if we were enjoying our food and if we required more tea or sandwiches. The fact that it was in such a beautiful location was also an added bonus! Will be recommending to friends 😊

I'd give the coffee 4/5 but score brought down by nearly stale coffee cake. Shame cos it's a lovely location in the middle of green countryside. Coffee only next time I think!

Went there on Sunday morning , with my wife , very nice place , The Guy we ordered from very nice and polite , ordered two Coffees and two Bacon and Brie Sandwiches went and sat down by a pen holding Goats and chickens , on an uncleared table and dirty ashtray full of Dog ends , Wasps flying around , Girl waitress walked by Not cleared , then Had to wait a long time , Coffees came , then a very long time For the Bacon and Brie Sandwiches, looked well presented , but when eating , found there’s hardly any Bacon mostly Bacon fat and Brie Cheese , a little piece of bacon hardly cooked , bread was ok , won’t be going back ,shame as it’s in a nice location

I was really looking forward to having breakfast here, so I drove twenty minutes to get there in time to sample their breakfast menu. The location is gorgeous, the setting lovely - I sat outside with chickens and goats in the field next to me, and the staff who greeted me were wonderful. I ordered something to eat and had a delicious coffee and orange juice and waited for my dish (avocado on toast with bacon and poached eggs.) to arrive. It didn't take long, but when it arrived I noticed it had quite a lot of balsamic vinegar all over the top. I tried to enjoy it, but the taste was so strong it obliterated everything else. I hate complaining, but it had made the meal, for me, inedible. I gently and kindly explained and the lovely staff member went to talk to someone. A few minutes later I hear someone say quite loudly as if they were really annoyed...'Where is she??' A woman (the owner) came out and I stood up to greet her and said hello. She then proceeded to tell me that the balsamic vinegar 'made' the meal and was what made it taste nice, and that in five years no one had ever complained. I was basically made to feel like a mad person for not agreeing that balsamic vinegar is the best thing ever. She angrily declared it was not her fault. She was rude and dismissive and I felt really upset. She reluctantly said she would cook it all from scratch again but it would be at least another half an hour, but by then I felt it was probably best to just go. She was pretty miffed that I dared ask for a refund, and walked off. It doesn't matter whether balsamic vinegar is the best thing ever or not, (I think it is an acquired taste, and a strong one at that, so not everyone is going to like it, despite what the owner thinks...) if it had been listed on the menu, I would have had a choice. But it wasn't. I didn't get breakfast, and I still feel upset to have been made to feel so terrible for something that wasn't my fault either. This place is lovely, and the quality of the ingredients is clearly good, and the staff are really lovely and helpful (they are a credit to the business) but the menu needs to be clearer, and if a customer dares to 'complain' the owner needs to listen to them rather than invalidating what they say and getting annoyed. Perhaps she was having a bad day, it happens. I wish them all the best and thanks for a lovely coffee, but I won't be back.

Good food and charming service but would not recommend at this time of year due to a plague of wasps that make trying to eat and drink quite unpleasant

Excellent homemade pizzas cooked in a traditional pizza oven. Very friendly service & live music. Would certainly recommend a visit. Well done to all the staff.

Always knew of the place but never stopped for lunch until now. Lovely food great setting very homely and rustic.

We enjoyed a wonderful Afternoon Tea this afternoon to celebrate our Mum's 70th birthday. Fantastic food and cake, with welcoming and attentive service.

Our visit had its origin in a search for farm eggs. However, it developed into a lunch visit, and a successful shop. We were shown to a table in an outdoor marquee, which was quite busy with groups of what seemed to be local people who knew each other, and had their dogs with them. We chose halumi burger, and chips, and avocado on toast with extremely tasty streaky bacon and a poached egg. Both combinations much appreciated. Pleasant service, with a smile. In the shop, as well as the eggs, we bought some home made frozen lasagne, which we have since enjoyed. The shop carries a few ‘daily requirements’ as well as a range of local produce and some lovely fresh looking vegetables. In a field adjacent to the eating area there were some splendidly healthy looking hens, and some goats, of great interest to visiting children and dogs....

Great food, delicious vegan choices, lovely cream tea and very sweet farm shop! We really enjoyed our visit and the animals!

Difficult to find (follow the satnav and don't give up!) but well worth the detour. A very friendly welcome. Serves cafe-style light lunches as well as tea, coffee and gorgeous cakes. There is an annexe for large groups but only one, functional toilet. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Good disabled access.

A group of twelve of us booked for afternoon. We had exclusive use of the quaint little outbuilding. Dainty, mismatched crockery with plenty of tea flowing. Tasty sandwiches, warm scones and a piece of our chosen farm house cake. Fantastic! Would recommend unreservedly.

Been going here for 5-7 years great food and service it’s a little gem really nice people as well cakes are fantastic

Outstanding pizza night. Really great pizzas, Live music,lovely atmosphere. Very enjoyable & must recommend to others.You won't be disappointed. Great service by owners & staff. Well done. 10 out of 10 for marks. Best wishes for the future. Thank you for an enjoyable experience. Wouldn't hesitate to return.

Right out in the sticks, really good farm shop and cafe. Best jacket potatoes and ace cake :) Very nice setting with paddock of hens and goats next to the outside sitting area. Excellent selection of deli and veg in the shop.

Had a lovely lunch here with my daughter. The food was excellent and the staff friendly. Its a bit off the beaten track, but well worth the lovely drive there. We will definitely be returning.

Really cute nice place , took my parents and my baby daughter. Really lovely ladies and love the farm animals , my daughter enjoyed seeing them. Yummy quality food. Nice and peaceful. Will be back !

Once again lunch at the tea rooms ...homemade chicken breasts wrapped in pancetta and a cream cheese filling ...superb.Also the chill con carne ..again home made on a bed of rice ...excellent.Followed by Lime cheesecake and ice cream ..again home made. Full marks Marlene for a super lunch in rural surroundings at a leisurely pace

I called in whilst out cycling, for a coffee and cake. The coffee arrived very quickly but after about 15 minutes the cake hadn't so I thought it had been forgotten. No, they were merely very busy as they were dealing with a large breakfast order ahead of me. Fair enough, though why that would prevent an apple cake, and not a coffee, being provided promptly is a bit of a mystery. I got a somewhat begrudging apology for the delay but I think it would have made for a much happier customer if I had been warned about the delay when ordering. I wasn't in a particular hurry and it was a lovely day. Its all about managing customer expectations. On the plus side the apple cake when it finally arrived was superb and very reasonably priced too.

We had a breakfast here which was very nice served by friendly staff. The homemade cakes looked delicious. Lovely place in the middle of nowhere. We will be back for another visit!

Lovely place, enhanced brilliant February sunshine. Table right next to field with fabulous fowls and gorgeous goats, all of them came to say hello. Brilliant ploughman's lunch.

We went for breakfast not having been for about a year - the family atmosphere is amazing and is a must visit if you want a totally outstanding breakfast (see image) - we were met by such helpful and professional people - but this did not detract from from the total family atmosphere - with mum and gran all working super hard - amazing place and we will be back, best home cooked food and such nice people :-) - thanks - mark & lesley Ann

Found a review and decided to give it a try, lovely coffee and brilliant fruit cake. Bought some great biscuits

We’ve walked in the area a couple of times now and decided at last to visit the lovely looking tea room and shop for a break mid-walk. The shop is incredible and the produce looked amazing.

Great farm shop and tea room now offering lunch as well again you have to know where it is lots of fresh produce

Booked a vintage tea for today for our 50th Wedding Anniversary (although we didn't tell them it was). We wanted to do something just for us. Very friendly and nothing was too much trouble Had the most wonderful vintage tea with sandwiches, scones with cream and jam, huge slice of cake and Pimms jelly. Proper tea in a tea pot! At £15 a head this was really good value. Really enjoyed ourselves. Tea room and shop in one. A bit off the beaten track but well worth the visit. A big thank you to everyone there.

What a great place to have Afternoon Tea. The staff provided a very warm welcome and were very attentive without being imposing. The quality of the Tea was excellent with delicious home made scones and cake. would highly recommend a visit.

As part of our hen weekend staying at Home Farm campsite in the beautiful yurts we booked to have a three course meal one evening. It was perfect! The table looked lovely with confetti and candles and was well laid out for our large group.

Excellent Vintage Tea, jelly, sandwiches, cake,scones, service very friendly, nothing was to much trouble, lovely farm shop with local produce, will certainly be making another visit.

An absolutely lovely afternoon. We had a delicious afternoon tea in the small tearoom and the owners had even set up birthday bunting. Super friendly service with bottomless cups of tea in beautiful china crockery and fabulous homemade cakes, scones and sandwiches. Nothing was too much trouble and it was everything my dad had hoped for. Highly recommended. Thank you ladies.

A very good friend took me here today for a birthday treat. Marlene and Abbi were very welcoming. The surroundings are beautiful and I would certainly recommend a visit.

The food is OK and the little farm shop will hold your attention for a few minutes.

Found this place by shear accident on our way to a summer fete at the nearby country house, only just got round to writing a review as i completely forgot what it was called !!!.

Great to be back after Christmas break...homemade food as good as ever ...always worth a visit ...thanks Marlene, Nicole and Laura

We popped in for lunch before visiting NT Property nearby. Service so so slow it spoiled the whole experience. Visited on basis of feedback. But 50 mins wait for drinks and an hour for simple dishes too much! very rude staff when asked for an update. Apparently too busy to serve guests - get real.

After being in Europe for 6weeks we fancied a full English breakfast. We weren't disappointed. Excellent food and very friendly service. It is of the beaten track, but well worth the drive; don't be put off by the narrow lanes as we managed on a 7m+ motorhome and there are plenty of passing places.

This is a lovely place to visit in a delightful rural area. The food may not be quick but it is yummy. I love going for breakfast and sitting chatting to family and friends. A hidden gem!

Pasamos una tarde maravillosa con té, sándwiches y tortas. preciosa Estoy sin gluten y con menos de un días que habían hecho para mí sobre todo una deliciosa tarta de chocolate, bollos y bocadillos. Tomaron mi necesidades dietéticas muy seriamente y caprichos que he probado. El personal es muy amable y dulce. No puedo recomendar este lugar, especialmente si quieres un tradicional té británico tarde. vintage

Justo en el campo de un delicioso té con aperitivos poco habitación. El servicio puede ser lento si lleno pero amable y todo muy bien servido. Un té de sabor, suelta las hojas de té con tamiz y bonita vajilla, hace una experiencia agradable. Tartas bien. Buena relación calidad-precio. Tienda encantadora rústico con productos frescos y conservas. Puede sentarse fuera o dentro.

Yo era parte de un grupo grande. Tuvimos que esperar bastante para toda nuestra comida para salir, pero creo que no son muy experimentados con cocina para grupos grandes. Sin embargo, la calidad de la comida era muy buena. El servicio era bueno y amable.

A finales de septiembre que pensé que no podía sentarse fuera para el almuerzo. Pero fue un agradable día, así que la mayoría de las británicas. Muy tranquilo y relajante para el almuerzo.

Encontré esta pequeña joya cuando buscó los mejores lugares para disfrutar de un té por la tarde en Dorset y este llegó en Dorset Magazine como una de 14 lugares para ir para el mejor té de la tarde y realmente no me decepcionó! Nos alojamos en el Hotel Paraíso de Sandbanks, así que teníamos un coche muy agradable con mi gente y tía. La granja se encuentra en el tranquilo y hermoso campo de dorset y nos recibieron en la puerta por el propietario. Fue el Vintage merienda tuvimos y fue increíble. Mi madre sufre de demencia pero era encantador, ya que teníamos el lugar para nosotros muy aparte de la gente que trabaja allí que estaban atentos a sus condiciones. Hay una manzana preciosa convertida estable para simplemente tés, comida, etc., y puedes sentarte fuera y nos sentamos en la principal zona de compras de la granja y la vajilla era impresionante para igualar la comida y el ambiente. Encantadora tartas caseras, scones y chutney casero en los bocadillos, así que era agradable tener productos localmente o producidos. No es demasiado caro y vale la pena cada céntimo - bien merece una visita!! Altamente recomendado!! El personal es también muy amable :-) ¡gracias! Xx

Shirley and I went here for anniversary 'posh' cream tea and had Angela's vintage tea. Loved the tea especially as it was quality rather than quantity. Great service and well done up tea room. Only lacked bit of atmosphere as we were only customers at time of visit and some background music might have been good. Bit of a trek for us but would go again.

Fabulous lunch and a cheeky beer over a nice catch up its my mother. Service was a little slow but perfect results...oh and the eggs truly amazing....I am returning to stay overnight in one of the tips as well

In the back of beyond (or so it seemed!) is this little oasis. We had a really wonderful afternoon tea. Everything was just lovely. All the bone china, the service, the selection of cakes (so hard to choose), the never-ending teapot, the scrummy sandwich fillings, the fabulous scones...it was all just perfect. I highly recommend seeking this place out. We will certainly be going again.

My wife and I visited Home Farm recently and were delighted with the way the farm buildings had been converted to provide a pleasant, atmospheric venue. I was a weekly visitor to the farm very many years ago and I'm pleased to see that the family have managed to combine traditional farming with a tea room providing tasty meals, home-made pies, pasties and local produce, cordials and much more. We observed the quality of meals being prepared and bought several home-baked items, which were delicious. Friendly service and high quality food in a rural Dorset setting, what more could one ask for?

Lovely little shop and tea room on a farm. Stocking their own meats, local cheeses and PIES and PASTIES. We were first introduced to the pasties about an hour before we got to the shop, not knowing that this is where they make them. We had just eaten some but decided to have lunch as well, I know we are greedy.My partner had the ploughmans with ham which was massive and I had poached eggs on toast, very very nice. It was also nice of them to do some hot food because it was past their serving time for hot food. Service was excellent, nice atmosphere. The owner sliced up some of the ham for us to take away as there was none on the shelves, this is the best ham I have tasted for a long time. The cakes looked lovely but we gave them a miss.

Driving into the car park was very pleasing, it was lovely to see all the chickens in the field at the same time as being able to sit outside waiting for the food to be cooked.The owner was a lovely lady and made you feel very welcome.A very varied menu to suit all tastes.Good home cooked food and piping hot.The Farm Shop is really interesting with home produced products.We will return.

Lovely drive out in some of the best countryside in Dorset, to the delightful village of Tarrant Gunville to be served a true traditional farmhouse breakfast. Which bit is best? the local eggs, scrummy bread, local bacon, sausages, mushrooms; not forgetting the marmalade.And that's only the breakfasts ; lunches, glamping and a shop full of epicurean delights plus lovely Marlene , Abi and team complete the experience. Don't miss it.

A really nice country venue serving delicious teas, coffees and snacks up to a hearty lunch. Served with a smile.

I belong to a walking group that did a circular walk starting at Tarrant Gunville.I am not sure what is I enjoy more the walk, or where we end up eating afterwards.So pleased we found this little gem.If somewhere is open early enough then I like to have breakfast before hand.I had scrambled eggs on really nice brown bread with a lovely cup of coffee.An excellent start to the day.I could report back to the rest of the group with confidence that we would enjoy our lunch there.They have an excellent choice of things to eat, from main meals, to toasted sandwiches and lovely looking cakes. Something to please everyone and such a change from the normal pub grub that is offered where ever you go these days.11 of us ended up having lunch and gave it the big thumbs up, well deserved 5 out of 5on all counts.Lisa's onion marmalade was delicious and very popularAbigails Tea Rooms, Thank you

A lovely place to relax and enjoy lunch , menu very nice all freshly cooked , quit fancy the clamping, the site looks very nice

Lovely home made cheeses and hams from the farm. Wonderfully polite staff. Perfect for our light lunch stop - had plough and with blue cheese. Beautifully rich and incredibly tasty. Served with home made also. Cannot complain. Just trust the long road you have to take.

Home Farm Cafe has an excellent T room. The breakfast excellent using high quality local produce. Also provides lunches and afternoon Teas. All fresh. The Farm shop also has an excellent range of local products. Overall excellent and Highly recommended

At the end of a typical Dorset lane is Home Farm and the farm shop is full of delights. Local coffee, sausages and cakes. The small breakfast was more than enough and the other half's large was a plateful of local sausages, bacon, eggs and mushrooms all cooked freshly to order.We will be back . . . afternoon tea beckons but another day as too full now.

We stumbled upon the tea rooms by the sign on main road meeting family it was a pleasant surprise to have such wonderful food and also delicious cakes really in the middle of the country.There were chickens and ducks all freely running around so a great place for breakfast or lunch with friends or family.We will be returning also the free range meat and veg in the shop is good too.

This morning we fancied a nice Home Cooked Breakfast but wanted a change of scenery/change of our usual Farm Shop and found this little Gem!Well worth the extra drive. My other half and I both had a Full English Breakfast. The Quality was really Top Notch with Fresh Farm Eggs, Butcher Sausages & Bacon!Had a chat with the lovely Owner who is very welcoming and friendly! Will definitely be back and highly recommend to others.NB* It was rather quiet this morning so we didnt need to book a table, but is advisable to reserve a table during busy seasons.

We arrived here more by accident than planning. Absolutely wonderful place in a perfect setting, we had lunch and still managed to find room for fresh baked scone, cream and home made jam. The food is excellent and very reasonably priced - owners are just so friendly and efficient too. They have a really good farm shop that stocks a wide range of yummy foods - came away with a jar of passion fruit curd, their own chipolata's and chutney and some freshly laid eggs. You have so got this right - well done to you- we cant wait to come back.

I took my mother to Home Farm for a cream tea as several friends had raved about the food, atmosphere, cleanliness, friendliness etc. How right they were the scones (served warm) were heavenly. I will return soon to try the one gorgeous cakes that I was eyeing up and to spend longer in the farm shop.

Out walking with a group of friends we stopped at Home Farm for ice creams. The farm is located along a long track and I was pleasantly surprised at what we found. Home Farm has a restaurant, tea room and deli shop. There is a wide range of goods available to buy - wonderful locally produced deli items at reasonable prices and all beautifully displayed. It was a lovely sunny afternoon and there were a number of people sitting outside enjoying afternoon tea. The premises are spotlessly clean and it's clear the owners and staff take great pride in their enterprise. We are planning a return trip for lunch or a cream tea. An amazing "find" in the splendid Dorset countryside!

We were on our way to Salisbury and just happened to notice a road sign for the Home Farm shop. It was 2 miles from the route we were on so as it was near to coffee time we thought "lets give it a try" after all we had been travelling for some hour and never saw another tea/coffee shop.What a little emporium, it stocks all sorts of goodies that you would expect from a well run farm shop. There are meats, sausages. cheeses, chutneys, biscuits, eggs, and a whole host of other products, that we had never seen or knew about.So on to coffee. The coffee/tea rooms are in two areas but we settled for the area inside the shop itself. Coffee and bacon sandwiches were ordered and were served with a happy smiling face which we gather was the daughter of the chutney making mother. Lovely all day menu with plenty of choice throughout the day. Be advised they close on Mondays. Our next visit will be soon. Go and see for yourself - you will not be disappointed.

Well worth a half day out - even a day if you then visit one of the many top quality pubs for a meal to make a well earned trip out after a hard week. Fed up of the dreadful supermarkets, food that has been warehouse stored for who knows how long, dull lighting and being cajoled into buying things that you do not want and waste with 2 for 1 deals without even considering the lack of nutritional value, this experience was like going back in time and left us feeling refreshed and energised. Also that our money for is well spent ethically. Greeted by a friendly Marlene the farmers wife and her team - we started with a very good quality coffee - then browsed at leisure through all the local produce and listened to Marlene giving us the background on each one, where they came from and how they were produced. Our shop cost a little more than the supermarket but gave us so much more in quality and felt a much healthier option. We so enjoyed our shopping trip, the children looked at hens and ducks too that we found that they had a cafe and tea room. We stayed for a beautiful home cooked lunch and when presented with the bill just could not belive the value for moeny - would not have found this in a supermarket cafe. Home Farm is definately on our weekly list of enjoyable treats and combines the task of shopping as well. The Bell Family.
