Jennies Kitchen in Wiltshire

A lovely cafe! The smoothies, iced coffees and milkshakes were fab. Would definitely recommend a visit, a welcome break on a long walk.

absolute pleasure to have stumbled across this delightful little cafe! the garden seating was gorgeous, not to mention the staff were so polite & kind - i couldn't leave without trying their lemon and lavender cake, which was wonderful!!

We popped in here for a lunch on cycle day, very lovely place. The food, location and price we all good and reasonable. The staff were lovely and the place is well catered for cyclists and motorists alike.

A lovely peaceful place. What a lucky find.

Enjoyed a delicious lunch here today with friends. Tasty well prepared and fresh food but most of all such excellent service from the young man who was waiter for our table. Highly recommended!

Delicious food with excellent service. Perfect place to meet up with friends for a Sunday brunch. Recommend to all.

I visited with a friend on the recommendation of my husband, and I'm so glad we did. The staff were very welcoming and went to great lengths to ensure everything was perfect. The food and atmosphere were first class. We sat in the flower garden on a lovely, warm day, which was perfect. (Tables with umbrellas) There's plenty of parking. We will definitely visit you again.

First time there. It's very nice and will be back

Absolutely brilliant good food and service fully recomened

This place was recommend to me by a friend and what a treasure it is. Customers service excellent freshly cooked food and a lovely seating inside and another area outside in the flowered garden. Price's very reasonable for such good service and food. Full breakfast menu until 12 o'clock. Just look for the pink signs off the spine road near holiday caravan park.

5 adults. 2 small children and 1 dog. Very friendly, kids liked seeing the animals. Food was good. Would recommend.

Lovely walled gardens that would make a perfect afternoon tea but sadly the weather wasn't kind for us. We will have to go back again.

Visited here for a cream tea. Lovely pot of tea. The scone was very nice, cooked to perfection. A generous amount of both cream and jam.

What a gem of a place!! Stopped on our way home from camping at the Lakes. Possibly have the nicest staff I’ve ever encountered. Everyone was smiling, friendly and chatty. I had the breakfast bap and my wife had the avo on toast, both delicious! When you’re done you can enjoy watching the Alpacas and Donkeys that are next door! We will absolutely be back!!

Top notch 💯 everything was amazing… and I would like to add that their staff was very friendly as well 👍 P.s. it’s dog friendly !

Little hidden gem, such a gorgeous place, food was great, service great, garden is so lovely, absolutely worth a visit.

Stopped in for lunch with a colleague after a meeting close by. Very happy with my decision to go here! Great food, beautiful garden and the young waitress was lovely. I had the lasagne and it was top notch. I even got to pet the donkey outside before I left 😂.

Every thing lovely 😍 staff amazing spotless place food lovely will go back again very soon.

Not the best cafe I've ever been too, panini filling was almost non existent, even opened it to see if there was anything.

Visited on our way back from stay at cotswold water park for breakfast.Good choice of foods/ drinks on the menu.Breakfast and coffee/teas were very nice.Nice clean place,lovely quirky garden/seating outside.Nicely decorated,nice china cups and saucers and teapots used for drinks,lovely touch.Lovely friendly staff.Good priced menu.Well worth a visit.

Stumbled across Jennies and stopped for lunch, so glad we did! Delicious Leek and Potato Soup, not normally my 'go to' soup but as this was today's vegan offering I decided to give it a try. This soup was chunky, well seasoned, hot and delicious. My lunch partner; husband, thoroughly enjoyed the goats cheese and chutney Pannini. Good coffee and delightful garden. The following of the current covid regulations, signage and overall cleanliness was excellent. Thank you, we'll be back!

Unforgettable experience! Great hospitality and had an amazing breakfast. Go for the scones!

Went here whilst we were on a weekend away in Hoburne holidays, lovely atmosphere , brilliant customer service and good food, would definitely come back and recommend 😊

Jennie’s Kitchen is incredible. The food was great, the service was excellent, and the vibe was like stepping back into my grandma’s house. The music, the smell, the smiles, and animals! I also ordered the coffee cake, and it was the best i’ve ever had, the cake was perfect and I could’ve eaten the icing with a spoon. All homemade. Definitely worth a visit, best breakfast I’ve had in a long time.

Great breakfasts, very pleasant staff, nice atmosphere and location too. Hidden gem!!

Lovely cafe!! So welcoming, and generally fabulous hardworking staff! We collected take away sausage and egg baps last Sunday and it was so fresh by the time we saw family (20 mins away!) We will definitely be back to enjoy the lovely cafe properly!!

We had a really excellent afternoon tea today. Tasty sandwiches and a great variety of cakes plus scones and cream. Also a really lovely tasty gluten free tea.

Just stopped here as we wanted a cup of tea after a long walk. Delightful surprise. Delicious cakes, nice tea in china cups and a beautiful aspect out to a pretty garden. The atmosphere was very friendly and staff welcoming. Would make a point of coming here again.

Fantastic time at this lovely cafe! Highly recommend the food is delicious, perfect ambience and incredibly lovely and friendly staff. Cannot recommend more 5 star!!

Have been here twice now and always been made to feel very welcome.. service is fabulous staff are so friendly and accommodating. Mother’s Day breakfast was superb. We will definitely be using this as our local place to eat drink and relax..

A great venue much enjoyed today by all in our car club. Fab attentive service with a welcoming smile.

Lovely freshly cooked Traditional English breakfast. Great coffee too. Under new ownership, so great to see such high standards from the start. All the best for a fantastic future. Can't wait for summer so that we can sit in the lovely garden.

Beautiful tradition breakfast...can't wait for warmer days to eat in the garden

Fantastic filling breakfast and lovely friendly staff. Beautiful setting and dog friendly. Lovely country feel in the garden

Was fantastic food, came out hot and fast and there selection of cakes was amazing. Would definitely return again.

Lovely bistro set in the heart of the cotswolds water parks. Food is always top notch as is service and prices are very reasonable. Varied menu to suit all tastes (vegan and gf available) and dog friendly. Just follow the pink signs for a great breakfast or lunch.

Nice place, great food and great service.

Or JK's bistro as it is now called was recommended to us and we were not disappointed. Tucked away in the Cotswold Water Park it's a real find. Lunch was excellent, friendly welcoming service and good value. Plenty of seating inside and out with parking on site.

Brilliant little cafe. Friendly staff. Good choices, will definitely come again.

This is a hidden gem! Beautiful garden and really tasty food. Such a delightful setting and has a real home cooked meal vibe. The staff were also very friendly and we enjoyed chatting to them. It was my first time to visit but i had been recommended this place by many and it didn't disappoint.

Great spot for food 😋 tasty. Nice garden and friendly team. Food was served fast. Quality I recommend Anna

Jennies Kitchen is Now J K's Bistro please leave reviews under J K's Bistro as a few have been left on Jennies Kitchen and not J K's

Had afternoon tea with scone, jam, cream and a lavender and lemon cake. All delicious. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Beautifully created and absolutely lovely garden with all kinds of flowers, sculptures. Lovely atmosphere Well recommended Surprised at some of the tone of the other reviews...

The setting is nice but the food is poor to average. I took my family for breakfast there is a 10% service charge which has to be paid upfront when you order so wether you are pleased with the service or not is neither here nor there, I know lots of places charge that now but it’s usually put on the bill at the end of the meal so if the service or food is poor you can challenge it. The fried eggs had been put under the grill to keep warm so were dry ,I asked if instead of a egg and bacon bap we could just have the egg and bacon and no bap but was told they couldn’t deviate from the menu ,not much of a deveat

We came here on the basis that the website states- WE SPECIALISE IN GLUTEN FREE & VEGAN FOOD. The signs on the road nearby also stated gluten free food was available there. However, there was no gluten free bread available and the gluten free cakes were out on display alongside regular cakes suggesting no understanding of the risk of cross contamination for those with coeliac disease. And besides, who wants chocolate cake for brunch?? We had some drinks and left with two very disappointed children. As a family dealing with coeliac, we always carefully research where to eat out when travelling, and go out of our way for places which genuinely specialise in gluten free catering. When I questioned the person serving us, she was defensive and frosty. Should’ve read the other reviews before we came. It’s also one of these places with rules plastered everywhere which is usually a good sign that customer service is going to be poor.

We were a party of 4 and they seated us indoors, we requested if we could sit outside as it was nice weather and more spacious but they said they couldn’t accomodate that. After being seated, they brought two pots of tea to us, then we were left for 30 minutes. Nobody came to the table. After 30 minutes a plate of sandwiches arrived. A member of the kitchen staff apologised for the wait and told us they hadn’t been informed we had arrived and that they were still plating up the scones and cakes. However, we had to wait a further 25 minutes for them. The scones were small and very dry, as if they were old and had been reheated twice. The rest was okay but nothing amazing, presentation left a lot to be desired. The experience could have been made a lot better if they had bothered attending to our table. On exit, even though the till is right next to the door and we were the last to leave, the women who appeared to be the manager behind the till didn’t even have the decency to say goodbye. To summarise, a very average afternoon tea with rude and unfriendly service. We definitely won’t be visiting again.

Ich hatte mich gefreut, meinen Geburtstag um 14.30 Uhr bei schönem Wetter mit einem Afternoon Tee im hübsch angelegten Garten zu geniessen. Zu unserer Enttäuschung mussten wir feststellen, dass der reservierteTisch im inneren Raum für uns gedeckt war. Auf Nachfrage wurde uns mitgeteilt, dass der Afternoon Tee generell nicht im Garten serviert wird. Warum auch immer? Wir entschieden uns für einen anderen Tisch, Das Geschirr wurde aufgestellt, der Tee wurde serviert. Der Kellnerin war es leider nicht möglich, die Tassen aufzustellen, ohne jeweils mit ihren Fingern in die Innenseiten der Tassen zu greifen. Jetzt sahen wir ca. 40 Minuten dem Tee beim Erkalten zu. Nach wiederholten Nachfragen wurden uns Sandwiches serviert, mit dem Hinweis, dass der Kuchen und die Scones gleich folgen würden. Nach weiteren 20 Minuten, in dem wir auf den leeren Sandwichteller starrten und mehrmals nachfragten, wo denn der Kuchen bliebe, wurde er endlich auf einer höchst instabilen schiefen Etagere serviert. Der erkaltene Tee wurde auf Nachfrage gegen heißen Tee ausgetauscht, das Milchkännchen wurde mitgenommen, um es aufzufüllen, es wurde von da an nicht mehr gesehen. Die Nachfrage nach Süssstoff für den Tee blieb unbeantwortet. Bedingt durch den sehr schlechten Service verließen wir das Cafe kurz vor Geschäftsschluss um 16.00 Uhr. Fazit: Schönes Ambiente mit schlechtem Service

We won’t be returning, lovely garden but food is ridiculously overpriced, our fault for not checking before ordering, we just assumed it would be normal cafe prices as that is all Jennies is - jacket potato with a salad garnish £9.95, quiche £12.95! Quiche wasn’t actually quiche but a tart case with a small amount of filling. We also waited 1 hour for food and it wasn’t that busy.. This place has potential as is on a popular cyclist route but we should have realised it wouldn’t be good value by the lack of cyclists.! When the food did arrive the jacket potato was cold but my husband was too hungry to complain, the rest was quite nice but nothing special - we left feeling totally ripped off to be honest. Save yourself some money and some time and go to one of the better value options in the area.

Not Impress. Thought it would be nice to go. They do not deviate from the menus at all. We asked for a breakfast nap With out an egg and they said no. All they had to do was leave the egg off. We waited 40 Min for our breakfasts and it was not busy. Was nothing special for the money it cost and wait.

Went for a quick bite - menu was not as extensive as on the website. However the food did not disappoint- enjoyed the tomato n basil soup and the vegetable goulash ! The cakes were stunning - I loved my frangipani. Definitely worth a visit if you are on the area 👍🏼

Thought we would stop off for a cup of coffee on our way back homel. Unfortunately we were joined in the courtyard by a rat running through. Not the best when it was full of people eating.

As we had a dog with us we went through the gate straight to the back garden (as were unsure if they were allowed inside). We were humiliated by a waitress SHOUTING at us to go through the cafe to be seated. So we left. So unnecessary. Won’t be going back.

Having checked the website for the opening hours (where it says it’s open until 4pm) we (2 adults, 2 kids) set off on a bike ride, planning a late lunch at the cafe. We got there just before 2.30 but foolishly decided to say hello to the alpacas and donkey before going in. When we went in, we and the family of 4 in front of us discovered that they stopped serving sandwiches etc at 2.30 so we could only have sausage rolls/cake/tea/cold drinks. We went for sausage rolls followed by cake as really wanted something savoury. The cake came out 5 mins before the sausage rolls (apparently there was a log jam on heating up the sausage rolls - highly technical process I guess), the waitresses were completely muddled with our order and the other family’s and someone else’s order and one of them was very sour-faced and surly. The sausage rolls were very average (according to the kids mine are far better!) The 2.30 cut off for lunches is only mentioned within the menu page of the website, not on the “opening hours” part of the website or the home page which would have been much more helpful, but in any case seems silly for a place that’s only open until 4pm - most cafes can manage to do sandwiches and teas in the afternoon! Very pretty setting but won’t be returning

This little gem is actually near the village of Ashton Keynes in the Cotswold Water Park area. We stumbled across this whilst having a walk with the dogs. We hadn’t booked for lunch (lots of tables were booked for lunch!) but the wonderful owner managed to find us a table in the beautiful garden. The sandwiches were delicious and the side salad was so fresh! Please do visit if you get the chance. Although having looked at the website after our visit, and it says 48 hrs pre booking for food , please don’t be put off if you’re in the area as it’s definitely worth trying your luck as a walk in. They even offer alpaca & donkey petting sessions if you prebook!!

Lovely find The Garden is stunning, butterflies everywhere, birds feeding on the trees. Food was fantastic very filling high Tea. Also let us take way anything we left. Great customer service Alpaca feeding was so nice, lady hosting was very knowledgeable. Also Donkey there, which is very friendly.

Just visited this place and the elderly lady who served us was so, so rude to one of the young waitresses. The food smelled rank and looked and tasted like it was several days out of date. DO NOT EAT AT THIS PLACE. TERRIBLE! Nothing...

Found this place by accident. Nice food, good service. Alpacas and donkey on site. Will be visiting again, excellent spot.

We have been multiple times, and always seemed good. But this time, staff were really unfriendly, no one hardly at the cafe, and took ages for four ice-cream’s to come! And the ice-cream was horrible!! The cafe seems to be stuck in the old times,.

Had afternoon tea with some friends here today, beautiful little place, very friendly and accommodating staff. The food was lovely, definitely plan to return.

We booked an afternoon tea with 4 friends, and last minute we had a child to bring and they was very accommodating for it. The afternoon tea was lovely and staff were very friendly. The garden out the back is beautiful and i am planning...

Nice setting. Unsure of what was on offer for lunch as didn’t see or wasn’t offered a menu. We were there late afternoon, about 2.30ish. Chose something in the cabinet. Sausage roll was OK but expensive, £3. Cakes were nice but nothing special & again...

Had an awful lunch here today. Three quiche and one bottle of cider £47.00. I thought I had been overcharged but when I worked it out they had charged me an extra 10% service charge. This is probably because otherwise nobody would leave a tip!...

Awful experiance from start to finish, we came to lunch and were greeted by a really difficult waitress. Straight away ruined the experiance she clearly had a control complex and trying to boss all the staff around instead of actually doing her job which was...

This seemed like a nice idea - have a bite to eat at lunchtime and then feed the alpacas at 2.30pm. This needed to be pre-booked and there was a fee to feed the alpacas (fair enough). This was a delightful experience with the lady...

Website menu looked interesting, varied and reasonably priced. Arrived and staff seemed rather unhappy even though it was not that busy. Menu was not as wide ranging as on website. Panini £7.50 on website but were charged around £10.95. Baguette £7.50 on website charged £11.95....

It's a nice place with a lovely garden but the food has got quite expensive. A tuna baguette, a wrap and a couple of soft drinks, not much change out of £30!

The food is good, if not a little on the pricy side (expected in the water park area). If you're a cyclist, there's a nice garden out back too if you're willing to leave your bike around the front. Maybe the cafe could provide some...

We were a family of 8 who really enjoyed a breakfast here whilst staying nearby. The food was very tasty and the children particularly enjoyed their pancakes which apparently were better than grandads! The staff were very friendly and the venue was extremely clean.

Fab location! Lovely friendly staff, albeit fairly incompetent! Very average, over priced food! Give it a miss!

Beautiful garden to sit in in the sunshine and enjoy a cup of tea and a slice of very nice lemon and lavender cake.

Visited for lunch on a beautiful March day and greatly enjoyed eating in the lovely garden at the back. Good service and yummy food. Very dog friendly and was lovely to see the donkey and alpacas in the field adjacent. Recommend for lunch/coffee or cake...

Lovely friendly staff, beautifully designed place with lovely garden too and delicious cakes

Kid can see the animal in farm. We have a coffee and tea. Nice

Very nice morning coffee with friends. All staff ,with one exception were very friendly and welcoming. That's why it was so noticeable! Coffee and tea was great.So were the cakes , but a bit on the pricey side. Prices were available ofcourse before purchase , but only if you asked! You now ask Jennie for the name of the" exception" ; I don't know, She certainly did not introduce herself ,but from the manner in which she strutted around as if she owned the place , we assumed she was infact the owner. Either way she was most "exceptional" when compared to the rest of your staff. Nevertheless she certainly made a lasting impression , but I'm afraid I cannot provide you with a name.

Came here as I had seen on their website that they offered Gluten free & Vegan options, however when visiting the menu didn't have options that were both Gluten free & dairy free/vegan combined, it was either/or, despite this the chef took the liberty of personally ensuring I was able to eat something and asked what I could have and liked, we then settled on a mushroom omelet, it arrived with a side salad (which had a gluten free dressing) and was lovely although slightly undercooked for my personal liking (not a negative, I just didn't specify how I liked my eggs) I also had one of the smoothies which was also lovely. The food was a little on the pricier side considering I paid £7+ for an omelet, however it's usually a price you have to pay when suffering from intolerances and probably due to the area and upkeep of the Llamas.The staff were extremely helpful upon email when I requested a full ingredients list of what was in my meal due to having an allergy later that day (I discovered it was most likely from fish in a different restaurant).I would visit again when in the area however would love to see more gluten free & dairy free/vegan options combined.

Nice little cafe on edge of the lakes in S Cerney. Very well kept and food very good.

Excellent food, lovely location. Safe play area for the children will certainly call again.

Booked a table for lunch but left after only having a drink, the table we were seated at was tired and dirty, tea stained tablecloth had been covered in a clear plastic which was sticky and did not feel clean, a placemat which was on the table was filthy and the floor was covered in dog hairs, crumbs and general dust. We were given a completely different menu to what is on the website in terms of options and price. The menu online states a jacket potato is £7.50 so we were staggered to see that the actual price was £12.95. We checked out the sandwiches for more variety but the same result and at a cost of £9.95 to then see this was EITHER with a salad garnish OR crisps (Not both) we thought the place was far too expensive for what was offered. There was also a very small selection of everything compared to the online menu , i think it was 2 choices of each item (Soup, Jacket, Sandwich/Wrap) all with quite uninspriring fillings/flavours for the price. We ordered a drink (prices on counter board did not match prices on the printed menus so we ended up paying more that we thought). Young girl on counter was polite and friendly, older staff member was abrupt. I was impressed with the website but not the reality and will definately not return or recommend.

First lunch there and was a great meal

Spontaneous visit, good choice of cake, reasonable selection of drinks, fair prices. Afternoon tea has to be pre-booked £35 for 2. Will certainly return in future 🙂.

This place is a real find. Kids loved stroking the alpacas and the donkey before and after lunch. The café looks out onto a gorgeous garden absolutely teeming with birds, which we watched while we had lunch. The food was lovely, I had the vegetarian option, which was good. The cakes are amazing! Would definitely visit again if we were in the area. We were lucky to get a table though - pre-book if you can.

Amazing Cakes, but although they say doggy friendly, you have to sit in the garden.

Passable Cafe Converted farm building. Rather fussy decoration and table service (over staffed). Coffee was good. cakes poor. (lemon drizzle too dry, courgette OK but butter icing granular). Two coffees and two cakes £12.

Great food, friendly service, lovely building and garden.

We had a very nice and fresh afternoon tea

Myself and wife with two friends have just had the three course Christmas meal, In one word “Fantastic” excellent food well presented and tasty with first class service I can well recomend to anyone

I booked a table for two and we arrived on time. Apparently, the person had put my name down wrong. This was the first thing that made us uncomfortable. Next, we were shown to a table VERY close to another couple - I had to move the table and chair to get in. Next, we waited 15 minutes, watching staff going back and forth, trying to catch their eye. Up to this point we had not seen anything that suggested anything other than ordering at the table. A little after this, a lady said we had to order at the front (as we'd never been before and there were no notices on the menus or elsewhere that were visible, we had no way of knowing). When I went to the front to order, the lady was doing something with a payment machine the mumbled something and walked off - no 'sorry, I'll be with you soon' or any other staff members coming to assist us. At this point, with such poor customer service, we decided to go elsewhere. We will not be back.

Very helpful and friendly staff. Ever where kept spotless .

Animals stunning. Coffee and cake, tasty. A cute place to visit.

Catching up with friends over cake and alpaca feeding. The alpaca lady was lovely, full of information about the alpacas, chickens and Clementine the donkey! Really loved the feeding. Followed this with coffee and delicious cake. The girls serving were very polite and efficient. We would highly recommend.

Nice setting. Two coffees two small slices of cake £13. Staff very pleasant.

What a little gem of a place. We spotted the sign to Jennies Kitchen on the way out for a walk at Somerford Keynes. Called in for a lovely coffee and cake and we're met with a warm welcome for us and two dogs. Such a lovely spot!

Have lived 10 miles from this place for 15 years and had never heard of it. I was told about it by a friend and this will now become a regular place to visit. It is in such a lovely setting, the food was good, although I would not say it is posh... but good hearty comfort food. The service was pleasant, you can tell some of the staff has been there quite some time and are used to dealing with people (let's face it, people can be "needy"). Parking was great, plenty of space. Pleasant inside and lovely outside seating. You can see resident alpacas across the field, which is something you simply don't get to enjoy very often--so I thought that was really great. I prefer a nice experience style cafe over hoity-toity and this place was worth the drive.

Generally an average cafe in a nice setting. Food was expensive (£9.95 for sandwich) which didn’t match the price in terms of quality. Soup of the day was good though for £6.95.Decor is unusual and staff are helpful although sometimes abrupt. Turned out to be an expensive lunch in an average cafe

Popped in for an ice cream while out for a walk. Great service. Good ice cream. And a very friendly donkey!

This is a lovely retreat with a wonderful garden. The weather meant we sat inside which is also beautifully designed. Our cottage pies were very good and the service was quick. We will definitely be back.

Lovely cafe plenty of courtyard and indoor seating. Wide range of food and drinks.

Wonderful start to the day, feeding Alpacas, followed by a lovely breakfast. Excellent, friendly service, thoroughly recommend.

Food was nice but came because of the gluten free etc speciality catering but would have expected more choice

We called in Jennies Kitchen for lunch whilst walking in the CotswoldsWater Park. It was a good decision as the food was excellent. My wife had a smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich and I had a felafel baguette. Both were very good, served with a tasty fresh salad. The cakes looked delicious but the sandwiches were so substantial we couldn't manage a second course.
