Jennie’s Kitchen in Cotswold - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely local cafe, set in the Cotswolds countryside. Also a great view of the alpaca field! We had a ploughman’s and it was lovely and homemade!

This is a lovely friendly cafe tucked away in the Cotswold water park. It was sunny so we sat out in the garden which is very pretty. Service was really good and very quick. Cater well for gluten free and food is good and not over priced. Definitely is a great place to meet friends and have a relaxed lunch.

Well appointed cafe, with small but thoughtful menu. Not too busy inside when we arrived but the car park was full where people had parked badly so we had to park on the road. Food was good but simple, and a very good cup of tea.

Really friendly welcome- great food - lovely garden… all freshly cooked - beautiful setting… Sonny served us - it was just great

A great relaxing place for Sunday Brunch. Service and food were excellent! Beautiful garden, we didn’t want to leave, could have easily sat there for the rest of the day. Took home 2 pieces of lemon and lavender cake which was absolutely delicious. We will be back!

What a delightful place to eat lunch with my friend and little dog Poppy. Wonderful welcoming staff, very pretty garden setting and delicious lunch. Couldn’t resist taking some cake home for later. Look forward to our next visit

Lovely service and great food! Lots of different food options too. Really nice place to be with the animals too. The waitress was very polite.

This has been a regular spot for us over the years and we have always had a great meal in a nice relaxed atmosphere. It is now under new management and the ethos of this has continued, Food is really nice and hot when it comes to the table, staff are friendly and in the summer there is a lovely garden area to enjoy your coffee/lunch. It is getting even more popular with us having to squeeze the car in the car park the last two visits so the new team are doing it right! Booking is a good idea! Looking forward to my curry soon! Well done to all

A really lovely venue, welcoming staff and family feel. Food is simple and delicious, loads of home made cakes. I had the carrot cake was happy with how reasonable all the prices were. Will defo visit again would be nice in summer in the garden.

Jennies has changed hands so this was my first visit for 2 years. My two friends and I were so impressed with the lovely homemade food, great service and the price! A real treat…thank you very much for a lovely visit, Lynne, Su and Jeanette. ❤️👍

Wow what a beautiful amazing little gem just out side Ashton Keynes, went to Jenny’s kitchen for lunch and drinks. I was so pleased how to see a lovely selection of home-made cake and a delicious menu now it has NEW MANAGEMENT DAVID AND HIS WIFE they have put a lot of thought into the cafe it is really beautiful and I can’t wait to go back soon my dog loves it as he loves the donkey

Loving the new lunch menu! Really liked the carrot and parsnip soup of the day and staff were really friendly! David the new owner was really helpful and chatty:) We will be back soon! Great that you're dog friendly too!

We found this cafe online while on our weekend away and walked all the way there for Friday lunch for it to be closed?! It was advertised as open and the note on the front door simply said ‘Sorry Closed’ with no dates or information as to why or how long… We would not advise wasting time walking/ visiting here - in case they just decide to randomly close again. Waste of time! :(

Lovely setting but I agree with the last review - the staff particularly a red haired woman with a foreign accent who was very rude and abrupt - we just wanted to leave - what an awful experience - we overheard other people were complaining about her manner

This seemed a lovely find, it's close to many lakes and in a beautiful setting. The gardens are lovely, the tables were nicely spread out. The staff were friendly on arrival and the cakes looked good. Unfortunately, it went down hill from there. Staff were slow to serve, forgot about us. The service was adequate. The food was nice, but overpriced for what it was. My meal was missing a couple of key elements. They said they'd run out. When I gave them feedback it was poorly handled. A thank you but no gesture of good will or discount off meal which was not complete. I left feeling angry not wanting to have a confrontation with the staff. On that basis, I would not recommend and would not go back.

Unfortunately, from arriving not a great experience there was nowhere to park in the car park so had to wait for somebody to leave . Whilst waiting I saw a large Rat run in front of the building. Somewhat off putting.. We came pacifically to see the Alpaca’s which where in a further field so could hardly see them. We only had Coffees so I am unable to review the food however all looked good. Quite shabby chic interior , and outside seating area this look may not appeal to all diners. Would return if we were guaranteed to be closer to the Alpaca’s. The Rat was a bit of a turn off though.

Great find. Tucked away near Cotswold Water Park this lovely cafe is a special place. We had breakfast today and were greeted warmly. In fact all the staff were super friendly. The breakfasts were very tasty, we had the Saxon. Gluten free options are readily available including a great range of cakes. We hope we will find time during our stay in the area to pop in again to have cake in the very pretty garden.

Really lovely find , the lady serving was so nice , the restaurant clean , comfortable and the added bonus of a gorgeous garden. We had coffees only , but it was really good. The food looked nice .Apparently the place was taken over recently.

The owner was saying he has just taken over the premises last month. Lovely Saxon breakfast, friendly service, dog friendly..treats provided. Great garden in summer. Good for afternoon tea and lunch. Alpacas and donkey in compound for the kiddies.

We visited Jennie’s Kitchen and thought it was absolutely beautiful. They were so friendly and welcoming when my husband and I arrived with our dog. When we went inside, they offered us any table inside and gave our dog treats. They did not rush us to order, in fact, as it was sunny and we saw their garden, we asked if we could sit outside. Oh my goodness, the garden was gorgeous; full of beautiful colourful flowers, sculptures and plants. There was a a lovely vibe inside the Restaurant, as well as outside, customers were friendly and everyone was enjoying the lovely setting. There were bowls of fresh water for dogs dotted about the garden too, it was immaculately clean and reminded us of The Green Tea Rooms/Restaurant & Bakery in Parga, Greece. The plantation and layout of the large garden was perfect and with lots of character. The Waitress who served us was lovely and friendly. All the staff were lovely and busy serving other customers. We had the best fresh coffees, served in large tall mugs and we ordered Jacket Potatoes with Chilli, which were delicious. They were huge Jackets, perfectly baked, served with homemade coleslaw and a fresh salad, with a very delicious dressing. The chilli was tasty too. We saw a group of people have Apple Pie and Ice cream and there were raving about it. I went inside to order some Apple Pie for us, but the waitress politely said there would be a 30 minutes wait for the Apple Pie to bake ; the Apple Pie was obviously very popular. It was no problem though as we’ll try it on our next visit. Another member of staff popped into the garden as she was tending to some of the beautiful plants. She was so friendly and lovely. Our dog barked at her at first, I think our dog was a bit dubious of the ladies’ gardening gloves initially. The lady was so polite and asked if she could say hello to our dog, she removed her gardening gloves and gave our dog some fuss. The lady was telling us about the plants and she was telling us about the Clementine, the donkey on the farm and also about the Alpacas. After earning our lunch we went out to meet Clementine and the Alpacas, Clementine was beautiful and friendly. She loved our dog. In fact, all the animals were lovely and all looked so well and happy. We enjoyed our visit to Jennie’s Kitchen. It happened to be my husband’s birthday when we visited, we decided to drive out to Jennie’s, after a long morning walk in Shrivenham; so glad we did, we had a lovely day. Still impressed how lovely their garden looked in the October sunshine and it was a lovely atmosphere. I will be returning with friends and family for sure; hopefully I can try the Apple Pie and Ice cream too. Regarding some of the reviews which say the food is overpriced, I disagree, I feel the quality and portion amounts here are excellent. It’s good, hearty, homemade food. I’d rather pay the same price here, rather than elsewhere, supporting this beautiful little gem and supporting a superb local business. Thank You to the lovely staff here, you made us feel most welcome. 5*

Stopped for a coffee on the way home. Unfortunately joined in the courtyard by a rat running though. Not the best when the place was busy with people eating food.

Wonderful place, started by feeding the alpacas. The lady who gave us a talk was very helpfull and explained how to feed them. We then proceeded to have a wonderful cream tea. Would throughly recommend jennies tea room. If you want to feed the alpacas you have to book.

Service was very slow with only one other table occupied. Limited options and very overpriced. Sorry you are in a prime location but you need to review your service and prices.

Just had the most fabulous afternoon tea. Absolutely delish and huge (we had to bring home doggie bags!) Highly recommended !

Visited with 2 cycling friends for cake/coffee. We all had a slice of frangipane fruit tart. Had a £20 note ready, but total was over £21 !! Coffee was good, tart was tasty, but @ £4.50/slice, and a tiny slice at that, the tart was way over priced. It's a shame as we are local and cycle the area a lot. There are plenty other better value places nearby

Great place to stop for drinks and a snack whilst using hired bicycles from Cotswold Water Park. The young ladies who served us were so polite and attentive. Great mocha and cake. Outside garden area was great place to sit and recoup. Bike stands outside to allow you to lock bikes up safely.

Food was good, nice gardens. Service was however patchy and the initial impression was unfriendly and not welcoming. Requests for guests to have face masks was inconsistent and it did feel like if you were local the approach would have been different. Real shame.

Lunch with a friend on a bike ride Wonderful homemade quiche with fresh salad. One of the staff was picking new lettuce about 3 yards from our table, so not many food miles here ! I'd post photo of the Avocado and Courgette cake, but...

We visited Jennies for a birthday afternoon tea and we were not disappointed. Our coffee and teas came quickly and our food arrived after about 10 minutes. Our afternoon tea consisted of 5 different types of finger sandwiches, all very fresh, 2 large slices of...

Quite impressed, Lovely coffee and good paninis. We were warned that food might take 20-30 minutes as they were very busy. Coffees came out almost immediately followed by the sandwiches about 10 minutes later.

Visited tea shop on one of the hottest days -yet the staff were still organised and accommodating and had cooked amazing cakes, scones, quiche and prepared sandwiches In spite of challenging conditions. It was a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere and the whole ‘tea party’ was...

Stopped at Jennie’s Kitchen for lunch during a lovely dog walk around the lakes. The new COVID-19 signage is confusing and I was made to buy a mask just to walk through the restaurant to the garden (even though there was an outside route, we...

I'm sorry for the low score, despite the lovely setting, friendly staff. Your portion sizes and prices are too much! Wow, a pricey lunch. 2 baguettes enough to feed a family of 4, and each cost just under £9.00. ouch! The trouble was that they...

I went to Jenny’s Kitchen on a sunny Friday afternoon. Myself and my two children all chose a cold drink and sat in the lovely garden. After finishing our drinks, I noticed the Fruit Shoots use by date was Nov 2019. On our way out...

Not much to see until you go beyond the boundary hedge but a real delight when you do. Loads of seating inside and out, safe parking for cycles and cars. Signage says Cyclists Welcome, a nice touch. Eclectic laid back ambiance. I have stopped here...

3 of us popped out to Jennie’s for a light lunch. The setting to lovely, but lunch was disappointing compared to our previous visits. The Pea & Ham soup was ok, but lacking any noticeable ham. The Marconi cheese with bacon was lacking any cheese...

Absolutely lovely cafe with amazing garden and alpacas, a haven of peace and tranquility. Home cooked food and spotlessly clean. Lots of parking.

I am not sure how people find this place for the first time. It is right off the beaten track. We were there on recommendation from a friend. Food all freshly cooked but at a price. Very pleasant spot for a relaxing coffee. Could have done with more umbrellas in the garden on a very hot sunny day. Staff very friendly.

Against my better judgement we returned there today only for cake ( in my case cream tea) for the third time in a month after we were warned of very slow service. The quality of surroundings and overall ambience is excellent and to be fair there is a note saying freshly cooked food so don't expect fast food. Our first two visits were OK, the second, the cake came 10/15 minutes after the tea. Today was simply a disaster arriving just after 11am well before lunchtime. The place was quite full inside and 3 couples were already upset at the long wait for food. We ordered tea for both, my wife a portion of an already made cake and myself a scone. We first got the tea ( waitress went back with my cup) and my wife a piece of very nice cake within 20 minutes. After 3 reminders my scone/cream arrived ( all the tea finished) within 40 minutes and when spreading it, simply crumbled and so soggy. I must say we will NOT return here and neither will at least 2 bike riding clubs from Swindon I would guess. To have service like this and having to constantly apologise and/or let some customers not pay for bits and pieces, is a medium to long term recipe for disaster.Lovely looking place and surroundings but extremely poor service. My overall rating of average is "generous"!

Such a lovely stop off whilst on our walk, beautiful garden and lovely home made food. Will definitely return. Thank you. Beautiful place, hopefully the Alpakas will be a bit more intrigued next time 🤪

We were looking for a dog friendly café to visit and discovered Jennie's kitchen. A cosy café with a lovely courtyard outside, we were spoilt for choice - a range of hot meals, snacks, soups and scrummy homemade cakes. You can also order afternoon tea in advance. We opted for bacon rolls followed by coffee and cake. The weather was glorious when we were here and we spent a few hours eating and relaxing in the courtyard. There is car parking too. A lovely friendly place that welcomes families and pets - there are also alpacas as you'll see below. Would thoroughly recommend.

Lovely food, especially the cakes😬. So friendly for our 4 legged friends, my dog was given a bed and a treat whilst we ate. Will become a regular eating hole for me whilst out dog walking with friends
