Lye Cross Farm Bus Cafe in North Somerset

Firstly the bus cafe wasn't open here, and you need to wear a mask to purchase from the shop. They do some lovely produce and the baps are amazing value, it is a proper rustic food lovers paradise. A good selection of meats, pies, fish, vegetables and beers and ciders are available. Nice place to visit, pick up supplies if your passing by, also about the only thing close to the nearby Holiday Inn. Good spot..

We stopped by as we were on our way to Weston super mare we arrived and we’re very unwelcomed by rude staff who would not accept the fact we are exempt from wearing face coverings, they hit us with the it’s a “company policy” which at this stage it is down to the persons choice whether they wear one or not and they can have zero say in whether we do or don’t. They kept asking us whether we would wear one or not even though we had already said that we are EXEMPT they were refusing to serve us so we ended up showing them exempt cards in which they said “well I can’t just assume that you are exempt” which was after we had told them we were exempt when we first walked in. Very poor customer service would not recommend and will not be visiting again!

Having eaten here before when parents have visited, they both wanted to go again. The chef has changed as has the menu since last visit. However the quality hasn’t changed and both days we were spoiled with good breakfasts served by the chef / waitress. She seems to do everything but nothing was too much trouble. Quality bacon and sausage cooked well by someone who cares about how a breakfast looks and tastes. Great coffee as well. Definitely recommend this gem. The breakfast is far better value than many I have had closer to Bristol and better ingredients.

Amazing breakfast. The food is locally sourced, well cooked, and generously portioned. The service is lovely and friendly, and the bus is quirky and fun. A hidden gem, fully recommend!

Stopped here for lunch on the way to Aldwick vineyard. We got a substantial bacon sandwich and fried breakfast both with drinks for around £10. Many of the ingredients provided by next door Lye Cross farmshop. Recommended.

Don’t expect posh, this is a single decker bus but boy the breakfast was excellent. First rate locally sourced ingredients and cooked to order not left warming under a heat lamp for ages. And friendly service. We very much enjoyed it and heartily recommend if you’re on the A38 and hungry.

This is a perfect place to go if you’re around the area, especially before flying if you’re staying in a hotel near by! It’s a 10min walk from the Holiday inn Bristol Airport and they do all day breakfasts, sandwiches, drinks etc. They have veggie and vegan options and they’re food tastes great. Would definitely recommend.

I’m glad I stumbled upon this place. I do many trips to and from Bristol airport taken back to Bath. This is an excellent place where I can be only 5 minutes from the airport and can relax and get fed and watered. My full English was tip top

Well let me use my words wisely,Dan head chef is top with his people skills that’s why myself and my colleagues use his establishment for the last 6mouths.Now down to the food,the boys love he’s breakfast,,as for mine he’s always on points with my boiled egg and bacon roll. Finally would just like to add thanks to you Dan for looking after us with your fine quality food and banter good luck for the future all the booker boys & SKETCH

Freindly boyant chap behind the counter, does an average to nice breakfast, but takeway is my preferred transaction, of that it is just fine, good value too not expensive.

An old Bristol RE single decker converted into a cafe, nice tea and bacon butty. It’s part of a farm shop that does some lovely farm produce !

we stopped at lye cross farm bus cafe,had a lovely coffee and went in to the farm shop with award winning cheeses,,farm made produce,you cant get any fresher product, the alvis family should be very proud of there farm and there produce

We went for their breakfast but were disappointed that the full breakfasts were not being available and never quite understood why as only a couple of others there apart from ourselves. Ended up with bacon rolls, but very good

What a find on way to Bristol airport. After discovering nothing else was open at the time we were travelling when we discovered this hidden gem. We ordered two breakfasts which can only be described as the most delicious breakfasts we have ever had. All the food is freshly cooked in front of you, the ingredients are from the local farm shop next to this food outlet. The owner and chef is a lovely friendly man where nothing is too much trouble for him. The bus idea in which he has set up this business is such a unique idea, although small it was nice to have our breakfasts in such a comfortable bus. We would happily have paid double what we paid and cannot recommend this place enough. This business deserves to thrive and prosper in every way.

Stopped off whilst waiting for son to arrive at Bristol airport.. Had a lovely bacon sarnie and a coffee

Called in for a coffee, which was excellent, stayed for lunch, a Full English. It was wonderful! Food sourced from the farm shop was fresh and tasty. Proper dry cured bacon, fresh eggs and locally baked bread all served in a quirky bus conversion. we ended up in the attached farm shop buying bacon and sausages for another meal.

We had the most amazing breakfast on our way to Bristol Airport here at the bus cafe. Such a refreshing change from the fayre on offer at the airport and in an unusual setting! My Dad used to drive these buses in Bristol when I was a child!! Dan produced our tasty breakfast from a very small cooking area (amazing!) and we exchanged friendly conversation throughout. Thank you Dan - it was a really great start to our holiday especially as our flight was delayed so sustained us through the long wait!!

My husband and I were working today and fancied a quick brunch.

Brilliant service, great banter, top notch coffee! Can't fault the food and coffee! Shame the bus isn't on the move yo bring it closer to my door!

One of my best English breakfast ever! Big, fresh, perfectly cooked and with a great atmosphere! The landlord was kind and friendly. The location is superb: an old bus with table and chair like 50’s! Cute! Approved!!!😃 Must try!

Cheap and cheerful bacon sandwiches in a converted bus.fresh bread, nice bacon and sensible prices.recommemded for a quick stop.

Stopped in here today while waiting for my wife’s flight to land at Bristol International.

A visit to The Bus Café is always a wonderful experience especially when Dan dishes up another tasty breakfast - always done with a cheery smile.

We dropped into this unique cafe on our way to Bristol Airport, we were a group of 9.It is 3 minutes drive to silver parking. The venue is a converted bus next to a farm shop. The food is freshly cooked of excellent quality and good sized portions. We pre ordered and everything was ready for us within minutes of our arrival. The staff were friendly with great banter... If you want a freshly cooked reasonably priced breakfast on your way to Bristol Airport the bus cafe is recommended.

Small, cute bus cafe serving genuine and homemade breakfasts and snacks. Really reasonable prices and really nice owner. Always a pleasure to come here!

Popped in here to grab a light bite and a drink and was really impressed with the service we received. The food we ordered was fresh, plentiful and used good quality ingredients. A particular mention to Dan who served us, his positive and approachable manner was refreshing.

Dan is the man, friendly welcoming self starter, owner occupier, head cook and chief bottle washer, I’m sure he won’t mind the description as he has a friendly disposition and will rustle up freshly prepared meals at the drop of a hat, my favourite is the cheese and ham ploughman’s lunch, just delicious and guaranteed to satisfy any hungry Walker.

On arrival we were met by a really friendly bubbly chap Dan who served us a fantastic breakfast roll with a lovely freshly made hot coffee would highly recommend the bus cafe ,

Dan was very helpful and the breakfast was good quality. Will stop here again and grab some produce from the shop next time

Came here while staying in a B and B without “B”. A good fried breakfast with coffee. Friendly service. Used by locals. A bit of fun on the bus but rather drafty on a very cold wet weekend.

Dan produces the most delicious food from behind his servery in this fascinating venue.

I needed a granary bacon bap with English mustard to see a long day off to a good start. I got one in seconds and it was the sort you would drool over. So simple, so bacon-ful, so good. Thanks Dan.

went there one Saturday morning, and was told no breakfast available due to to supplies. when their was a shop full of produce next door ?

Been too long since my last visit and as this one was unplanned went for the bacon sandwich rather than my usual small breakfast.

My sweetie and I visited this 3 days running, and ordered virtually the same each time, and Daniel never disappointed us. We had the veggie breakfast with decaf and regular cappuccinos, and all was done to perfection!. Highly recommended, and bring a good appetite!

This unusual cafe by the side of the A38 south of Bristol is well worth a stop. The quirky cafe is basic inside, more a transport cafe than a diner, but the quality of food is excellent. Located on a farm that also makes it's own cheese the ingredients couldn't be fresher. 5 mins from Bristol airport, perfect for that pre flight breakfast. With a farm shop next door I can recommend a visit if you are in the area.

Just the place to stop for breakfast if you are on the way to the airport. Far superior to anything you are likely to find at the airport.

We met up with our son and his two children for breakfast here to celebrate Max's birthday while his mum prepared for his party! It is a cafe in an old bus and cheap and cheerful. What gives it the 5* rating is the quality of the meat-the sausages were out of this world. Well worth a visit for breakfast if you're on the A 38 near the airport

Came here for a breakfast after an overnight flight into Bristol airport and it was absolutely superb! It is a real rarity to find a breakfast these days that ticks all the boxes, this breakfast without a doubt ticked all the boxes and the gentleman preparing and serving was a lovely guy who couldn't do enough for you even though he was rushed off his feet. If you're stuck where to go for a breakfast and a nice cup of coffee you're stuck no more - EXCELLENT!

had to pick my daughter up from the airport at 8.0clock i'd already googled cafe's near bristol airport before i'd left and this came up, so after we left the airport i went in. well what can i say dan that runs the cafe is very nice chap very friendly and nothing was to much trouble, we had 4 large breakfasts the best ive had for along time and i might add proper sausages which you very rarely get most other places and everthing cooked to perfection and great value for the money when ever im in this area again ill make a point of eating here

non tutti i giorni capita di fare colazione su un autobus...da Alvin le colazioni sono buone e superabbondanti, inoltre il gestore è molto simpatico ed alla mano

I had to travel between Winford and Burnham on Sea in the West Country and happened upon this quirky cafe. Housed in an old single decker bus it provided a welcome quick bite. There is not a huge amount of room but providing you find a seat the food is good. I didn't have time for the full breckie but it looked great as it was put out for another customer. Both myself and companion had a bacon buttie and tea. The bread was quite thick and the bacon was superb, the tea strong but this could be adjusted by taking the bag out of the mug earlier if required. A great pit stop to top up on basic but good fare. Look at their website page, Lye Cross Farm Bus Cafe for more details of what is available, I only found this today when seeking the postcode for this article.

Stopped off her on the way to Somerset, after a long drive needed a pit stop, the café was just about to closed but the man serving stayed open to serve us a well needed coffee, the café is set in an old fashioned bus which has been modeified as a café with some of the original features, the bus is parked next to the farm shop( also worth a visit), novel idea for a café, well worth a peek, they do food as well.

Quirky little cafe quite close to Bristol airport. Friendly service and amazing food. Will definitely drop in again when in the area.

The bus was nice and warm on a January cold morning. Friendly service from the cook/waiter. Very prompt, really nice coffee was served while he cooked a really good fried breakfast.

The Bus Cafe offers a wonderful food service for a razonable price. Food is always cooked perfectly and with the one by one customer and chef service, you will always get exactly what you asked.Here is not only good food the view and the peaceful atmosphere you get here is priceless.

stopped off here as the motor i was driving had suspension issues so i waited for the help i stopped for breakfast rolls and coffee so it was great to stop for a hot roll & nice coffee life saver was sat the for 1,5 hours it was cold thanks

A visit to the Bus Café is always a pleasure and Dan goes out of his way to make sure that diners have their meals produced in a timely manner - and always with a smile. It is a real pleasure to visit this place and Dan never disappoints.I'd like to take this opportunity to wish Dan, and all his customers, a very Happy Christmas and a Good New Year.

We stopped here for breakfast having dropped a friend at the airport. We both had a full cooked breakfast and it was the best I have had for ages. The food was all lovely, served really hot and very quickly and all accompanied by a great mug of coffee. The guy running the place and cooking was very friendly. A great find.

I have been here many times over the last 6 months, with various friends both from the UK and abroad. I would like to recommend more than one dish but I always have the breakfast (either small or large). You do not have to worry how far your meat has travelled as it is superb local produce. Even the coffee is bought from the next town down. And if you like a caffein hit you will not be disappointed.The sausages & bacon are so good they are now a regular purchase for me from the farm shop. Real good value for money with the small breakfast which includes a hot drink at under £5.What makes the experience even more special it is all served on an old British single decker bus. Lovely and comfy bus seats and quaint little table lamps. The service as well as the food is always superb. You always get a pleasant greeting and great table service. It does get busy at times (which is no surprise) but just take a seat and wait a while - it will be worth it.

Had a lovely birthday breakfast. Highly recommend! Great setting. Friendly staff. Loved the food. Big portions. Book if there is a large group. It's worth it.

Stop here in the morning and you will get great (I mean, GREAT!) full English breakfasts, some really good company and atmosphere with chef Dan and his mates in his old bus, and the best (and I mean, the BEST) latte art in the whole of Redhill.

Just once in a while I allow myself a full English Breakfast and where better to go than Lye Cross Farm Bus Cafe.The food is good, cooked and served by a friendly and attractive young man called Dan.Sit and eat at the tables inside the bus if you like the novelty factor or outside in a grassy shaded area.Either way its a far nicer experience than sitting in your car eating a bacon butty from a white roadside van.

I found the Bus Cafe after visiting the farm shop, and have become a regular customer since. They provide good quality food with extremely friendly service, set in a really unique surrounding. The portions are of a decent size even for hungry fella's, and the service is quick with reasonable prices.Since then I have taken friends and family alike and each time it has not disappointed. I heartily recommend it.

Nice farm shop good sausages and burgers good selections of cheese. Also sells cider and has a cafe.easy access off A38 at Redhill.

Nearly drove past and glad we didn't. Amazing coffee and really friendly staff! What a fantastic find on the way to the airport.

We had been searching for a place for a quick drink since leaving Bristol for Cheddar. 2 teas and 2 cookies were served quickly and were just what we need. Wish we'd had time to try a breakfast off their reasonably priced menu.

needed a good feed before getting on a plane not wanting to pay airport prices stopped here 5mins from airport for a full English did not disappoint good grub nice amount.

We have recently revisited this unusual, if not unique venue, where they can provide you with an awesome full English breakfast with all the trimmings, as well as many other delicious items of food & drink to tempt you. The staff there are lovely & look after you, when sitting in the bus, enjoying your food, out of the windows of the bus you have fantastic panoramic views of the beautiful Somerset countryside. In short, good food & drink & pleasant company, out in the country & all at a very reasonable price.

A visit to this bus café is a wonderful experience and Dan provides high quality breakfasts in convivial surroundings.I have been visiting fairly regularly over the past 12 months and enjoyed a high quality of service in this fascinating venue.Keep up the good work, Dan.

Just flown in from Inverness yesterday and needing to find somewhere to have lunch before driving back to Devon. The bus cafe caught my eye as well signposted on main road from airport to Taunton. Seemed a great opportunity for a new experience, having had a winter wonderland adventure in Aviemore - complete with sighting of northern lights. Was not disappointed. Lye Farm cheddar with carmellised onion on fresh granary bread, washed down with Somerset tea, were more than enough to regale me before my home journey. Customer service and welcome were first class. Now a regular stop off for me. Check out for yourself, also the farm shop next door. Open 8-4 Mon to Sat. Toilets too!

Freshly cooked to order, yummy and super friendly service. My 8 year old loved having lunch on a bus, even felt like we were going somewhere as it wobbled when people got on and off!Menu was pretty limited but we were really happy with our bacon and sausage sandwiches and all the food provided was as local as you could get!

Popped to the bus for breakfast this morning, cant beat their breakfast (including the vege option too!) - even includes a cuppa! Location is great and fun sitting on a bus!Service was excellent and even offers ketchup with the breakfast (without us even asking!)Definitely go back again on a weekend, maybe with the cycles!PS. Farm shop is also worth a visit, no hot food per say but some good items for dinner!

We called into the Bus café this morning for a coffee and ended up having a toasted tea cake and a bacon sandwich as well. Both were very good especially the bacon sandwich which was the best one I've had recently. Will certainly visit the bus café again as the service was good and friendly -- well worth the visit.

The healthiest and yummiest fried breakfast ever. We had the veggie option and chef went out of his way to ensure no contamination with meat. Service was outstanding and being served by a cute guy topped it off :-) Last cafe before the airport coming from M5 south. Will come again for sure.

I have often passed the Bus Cafe and been curious. Today my hungry husband decided to stop off for a bacon roll and I was tempted by a sausage one. The Bus is an old bus (no surprise there) with three tables for four and a long bench table. It isn't designed with glamour in mind and it is basic. BUT the rolls were soft and fresh, the bacon devoid of that nasty white fat inferior cafes like to impose on unsuspecting customers and the sausages were delicious and grease-free. A healthy couple of sausages! Customer service great, and customers actually greet each other. I totally recommend this clean, welcoming, value for money cafe and I want to go again.

I frequently stop by the Bus Café where there is always a warm welcome and a tasty breakfast (or any other meal) awaiting.Dan has a very friendly approach and nothing is too much trouble. For example, he will enquire exactly what you like and, if he hasn't got it, he'll go to the adjacent farm shop and get it.Eating in Dan's bus café is an experience to warm the soul.

We stopped here before going into the farm shop, lovely friendly chaps and a perfectly cooked bacon sandwhich, tea was good too ! Can see us visiting here again very soon !

Called at Bus Cafe for a snack lunch & drink. The bacon sandwiches were very good & good choice of snacks on the menu. It was a welcome break & comfortable seats after a long walk & good value.

We are friends who meet every Monday morning for a country walk and on this particular day we had walked around 6 miles. So we were in need of resting our aching legs and also of some refreshment so we stopped at the Bus café before venturing the next 2 miles home. We all enjoyed a welcome drink and sandwich, some had bacon, I had the gammon ham which was excellent with side salad & crisps. The service was very friendly and the food good. We would definitely visit again.

Stopped here for a bacon sandwich & tea after buying a few things in the farm shop. Good value at £3.

I called into this fascinating cafe today for a quick snack - very unique and great fun. The food is very tasty too.I can't wait to get back there for another sausage sandwich - it was so tasty (and huge!).

I'm a great lover of all things quirky and vintage, so to spot an old single-decker bus kitted out as a cafe on the way to/from Bristol Airport was quite intriguing. On Saturday at about 1.45pm my husband, son and I finally had the opportunity to call in. There were three other customers and us. We were told only sandwiches and toasties were available, which was fair enough (the menu also has breakfasts, cakes etc but we weren't bothered about that). We ordered a cheese and chutney sandwich and a brie and chutney toastie. Took about 30 minutes to be served and when the food came both items were served as toasties; not a real problem but suggests the cook/waiter wasn't really listening when we placed the order and since that was the sum total of our order, the fact that 50% of it was wrong is a bit poor really. The toasties were served with a nice fresh salad consisting of sliced peppers, cucumber and tomato plus a very generous serving of crisps. The fillings were tasty but the bread used appeared to be just bog-standard sliced brown; considering the cafe is next to a farm shop I sort of expected a fancier bread. All in all I would say the food was fine if you're not expecting anything out of the ordinary.However, the cleanliness of the entire place leaves something to be desired. Before we sat down I wiped our table over as it had a few large spots of grease on it which I didn;t want to get on our clothes (please note, I'm not one of *those* people who go around sanitising everything, but grease + clothes isn't a great mix); when I looked at the wipe I'd used, it was grey with grime. The lamp on the table was covered in old cooking grease and dust; there were used cups on the long side table, a carrier bag with what looked like rubbish in it, a scrumpled up piece of blue kitchen towel, and none of this was moved or cleaned the entire time we were there, even though it wasn't busy and the cook/waiter walked past it several times.Suffice to say we won't bother going back, not will we go to the attached Farm Shop if this is the standard that we might expect in there as well.

If you like different, this is it for you. A single decker bus, kitted out for a cafe next to Lye Cross Farm Shop, with good views across Somerset. A menu of breakfast, lite bites and jackets. We went for the large breakfast, which was great value for your money, local produce and which included you hot drink. Only draw back the novality ceramic milk jug in the shape of a milk carton dribbled milk over the table. We sat close to the kitchen, which filled us with the smell of the breakfast cooking whikst it was being cooked but was a bit rocky.

My family & I visited this unusual venue ( formally called 'The Food Hut' ) for breakfast last weekend & found it to be a great experience !! This café with a difference is a single deck bus, which has been converted & fitted out with tables & chairs with a kitchen at one end & this enterprise is run by Daniel, who is ably assisted by Georgie. They can provide breakfasts, light bites, lunches, salads, ploughmans, home made daily specials & soups. The bus is open seven days a week. Some of us plumbed for the full English breakfast & others had the cheese ploughmans & all agreed that they were very tasty in deed & the view of rolling countryside out of the bus windows was an added bonus !! There are also picnic tables outside if you wish to eat alfresco. If you like to have good food at very reasonable prices in an unusual fun location this is the place for you & the kids will love it !!

Situated next to Lyecross Farm Shop is a parked single-decker bus and if you fancy a snack or something more substantial, this is is the place to visit.The interior of the bus is fitted out with tables and chairs on one side and a shelf with stools on the other - the counter is at the end and after studying the menu, this is where you go to place your order. The menu has all sorts of snacks available (from bacon butties to toasted tea cakes) and more substantial fare (very good filled baked potatoes and so on) not to mention hot and cold drinks. We had the bacon butties which were delicious and a mug of tea to wash them down. On a another visit, tea cakes with butter and jam finished off a nice ride in the countryside.The young man behind the counter was very friendly and service was quick.It's open Mondays to Saturdays throughout the year and as it is on the main road, a short distance south of Bristol Airport, it's a handy place to stop for refreshment before your plane takes off!

Do a monthly shop at Alvis's Farm Shop (great for cheese, meat and veg). Dorothy, the Food Bus, is handily tucked round the corner of the car park - just right for a quick snack before heading home. The menu is pretty basic, though good value for money (there's a specials board for those wanting something more filling). Can thoroughly recommend the cream teas. Certainly not the largest around - one scone but with plenty of home-made jam and clotted cream and tea or coffee (with a refill thrown in if wanted). Tastes great and excellent value at £3.95, or even better at £5.95 for two! Shopping at Alvis's is a pleasant experience, the cream tea makes it memorable. Can't wait for next month's visit!! The question is, why Dorothy? She seems to be living a double existence. According to the painted out name by the entrance door, she's actually Valerie!! There's obviously more to this than meets the eye. Can anyone throw any light on her secret life?!

Popped in here today for a light lunch & was sorely disappointed! We ordered our meals & cups of tea & when they came out was very disappointed.The paninis came with 3 slices of cucumber as salad & a random packet of Lidl crisps each. My breakfast did not come out as ordered (fried bread ordered & had toast delivered & no eggs requested but egg sat on toast!).Was really looking forward to eating here but don't think I'll be heading back any time soon.

Now courting couples on the back seats of this single deck bus but a fully equipped kitchen offering basic food at great prices. The huge plus here is the wonderful atmosphere and the mix of people. Whether you just want a quick cup of tea or a breakfast after your flight this is well worth a visit. No Michelin stars, not sure about the tyres.

Had a fantastic full english breakfast on this beautiful old bus. Staff bend over backwards for you. Received a lovely warm welcome on arrival. Highly recommend the homemade food. Will be going back very soon. Well done!!

This is one of bristol food jewels. A great breakfast with good quality tea and fantastic value for money. Served by a young lady who clearly enjoys her job full of smiles and interested in customers every one who came on were treated like VIPs.A quirky place to eat and will I be back yes Keep up the good work.
