Millets Farm in Vale of White Horse

The roast Lamb was very disappointing and a waist of 16 pounds. A travesty that there was no Yorkshire pudding.the carrots were gritty and not had tops cut off. Miniscule portion of Cauliflower cheese and Ted cabbage. No peas or greens. Only 3 roast potatoes and no mash or parsnips. And had to pay 16 pounds for it. It used to be a marvellous carvery before they refurbished.

We arrived just after 3pm and we’re informed that hot food was no longer being served. Fair enough. We were advised to go to an outside food hut (I think it was the same business)to get some hot food, bring it back where we would get plates and could then also order drinks. We found the food hut where there were 2 servers. One was doing drinks and the another was looking busy with a tub of hot chocolate. She eventually asked us what we wanted and she told us that they only had hot pasties and sausage rolls. What type of parties? Only vegan. So we said we would have 2 pasties and a sausage roll. All were in a heated cabinet between the till and serving area. She wandered off. A few minutes later, the other assistant came and asked for our order. The first assistant told her it was 2 pasties and a sausage roll. Why she hadn’t dealt with it, I really don’t know, anyway, we paid and we’re told to collect the items at the serving area. So we waited and waited while they served 6 or 8 coffees and hot chocolates. 15 minutes later….. Finally, “what drinks have you ordered?”. NO DRINKS JUST 2 PASTIES AND A SAUSAGE ROLL! Really? Why didn’t the order taker just get the paper bag and put the items in it so we could go on our way? We go back to the main restaurant and get our plates and I order one mocha, one tea and a hot chocolate. I paid and was directed to the collection area on the other side. It was like a McDonalds waiting area. Yet another 15 minutes of my life gone! My hot food was now cold! There must be a better way of organising this service. I never have to wait for my drinks in Costa Coffee or Starbucks or anywhere else, in fact. Something is seriously wrong. It was my first time visiting this place. I won’t be going there again.

Went with my friend and our respective children for brunch. Was waiting in the queue and my friend orders first. They get to order food for themselves and their little one. My 2 children were refused their food order. Ok, it was close to 11am when ordering, which is when they end the breakfast menu but for literally 2 minutes different on the respective receipts (11:01 and 11:03), very disappointing for my children! Coffee and drinks were fine and the till staff was polite and apologetic and was clearly not their fault as they were only following instructions from the kitchen!

Reality disappointing meals all around. Children's meals fish fingers and chicken bites both come out with salt & pepper all over the chips, so children couldn't eat. Child's salad smothered in dressing, again unedible by infant. Adult sausage and mashing swimming in oil & chicken burger overcooked on outside but I side suspiciously pink inside. Never again!!!!

Best breakfast Fabulous hearty breakfast. Had Full Farmhouse but it beat me so if you have a smaller appetite I would recommend the Country Cottage Breakfast instead for a very reasonable £7.75. There’s a lovely ‘quiet room’ you can sit in if you want a bit of p&q. Really friendly staff too.

Had afternoon tea and was totally delighted. The food was plentiful and lovely. Sandwiches, scones, cakes, sausage rolls and lots of tea and coffee. Catered for gluten free vegetarian. Staff were fantastic - friendly and making lots of effort. Highly recommend

Probably the worst tasting coffee I’ve ever payed for. I’m not a coffee expert, but it was not drinkable. Soup was nice but rest of the food seemed overpriced.

Millets is a great place to visit, but give the Farmhouse Kitchen a wide swerve. Most things on the menu were "sold out" at 12:30 after opening for lunch at 11:00. We resigned ourselves to Pizza which was just about acceptable. Ridiculous prices for poor food, obviously reducing the product quality due to the current economic situation and hoping you will not notice. On looking around, there were many people sitting at tables eating their own food from Tupperware (other plastic containers are available) which seems to be allowed and normally indicates an overpriced poor quality food venue.

An absolute rip off the 2 slices of toast at nearly £3 not even barely toasted and the smallest cups of barely warm coffee. They used to serve nice big glass coffee cups like costa for a fraction of the price. The staff are awful so rude and unprofessional.

Ordered 2 full farmhouse breakfasts . It arrived promptly but was lukewarm to say the least. Bacon was overcooked very tough and not much of it. The picture is of 2 portions on a single tea plate. Toast was cold and was obviously not done fresh when we ordered so it was chewy and cold. Complained to the waitress,kitchen staff and eventually manager who gave a refund but seemed to be laughing at us as we left. Terrible service and food.. Definitely won't be returning and certainly wouldn't recommend it.

I love Millets, great shops & things to do. We visited Millets today & decided to have lunch in the farmhouse kitchen, usually have a sandwich / cake & drink. My husband had a plowman witch he enjoyed, I chose a baked potato with chilli. £7.75 very reasonable.unfortunately when it came was very disappointed. Lovely size potato, two pats of butter. Salad garnish & the smallest pot of chilli I have ever seen. It covered half of the potato when I say covered I say it loosely. I went to the lady on the till , told her I was not happy with the amount. Only to be told it’s all portioned out. I could buy another pot. Needless to say I didn’t. Surely you should have enough without paying anymore. What a pity they are not thinking of the customer.

Staff were rude and disinterested in customers. Requested freshly squeezed orange juice but were told we weren't allowed it as the machine had just been cleaned (an hour and a half before closing). Wont be returning anytime soon.

We had a great breakfast. One vegan sausage bap which was great and full breakfast. Cakes also lovely

Tasty panini and pizzas. I had a jacket potato with chili con carne which came with a salad. Lots of options.

Visited with a friend today ordered scotch egg salad , sounded delicious unfortunately over cooked egg and rock hard ,no flavour such a let down. The lady who was making our hot drinks was very rude did not acknowledge me for a couple of minutes did not say hello , she carried on stacking cups then made drinks and pushed them towards me and the walked off . Too expensive and not a good experience . We wont be going again

The food was overpriced and of very poor quality served by surly uninterested staff! With the farm shop next door selling what looked like quality produce you would thing that quality would be mirrored in the restaurant, unfortunately it doesn’t!

We had lunch a few weeks ago at The Farmhouse Kitchen whilst visiting Millets Farm Falconry Centre (see my other review for more). It was a warm day and we sat outside on one of their picnic benches. There is ample seating both inside and...

I was so happy to see GLUTEN FREE pizza on the menu 😍thinking it would take ages to come out WRONG it came out within 5 minutes which I thought was odd.. Straight away I saw the plate coming and thought how.. RAW the pizza...

We took an old friend out for rare lunch. How disappointing. The ploughman's was basic non true farm Fayre. The cheeses included were so cold had to wait for them to earn little before eating. Bread was overly light and soft. I had vegetarian quiche....

delightful setting, quick & polite service. one problem was a person in a wheelchair cannot fit their legs under most of the tables.

We’ve been coming here for breakfasts at least twice a month for the last 3 years as a couple and occasionally when we’ve had friends family over to stay on a weekend (apart from a bit fo time when they were closed due to covid)...

Family lunch out, with children 3 - 12. Fairly limited menu choice, but all found something we liked. Pizzas were fresh cooked (so have to wait about 15 minutes) and quite large, jacket potato meals were tasty, though not overly large. Service was good -...

First visit since the re-fit, it looks fab! Food was really nice and I was very impressed with the children’s lunch, great value for money! A lovely little lunch with my family, thank you!

As always the team provided both super food and service. Highly recommended again. Especially the sticky toffee pudding. Don't forget to leave room for this exceptional delight! The new location at Primrose Hill Farm is a delightful space with spectacular views.

Sadly a very terrible experience at Millets Farm Restaurant. At the door we were told that the breakfast was no longer serving however the lunch was ok to order, which was fine to us. I had my 22 months old daugher and my husband with...

We were impressed with the revamp it looks very clean and tidy. It is good to have a quiet area on viewing the menu selected pizza and ploughmans lunch. Ordering was efficient and then choose to have water from the self serve area. Walked towards...

Friends met her for lunch. Good choice of hot cold scones and cakes. We had simpler sandwiches and panini's all tasty though not a lot of filing. Looked good but all filling pushed to edges of bread!

We were very regular visitors to the old restaurant and so today visited the refurbished restaurant and were really impressed with the layout and new furniture. We ordered 2 breakfasts and pot of tea and found a table. There were only about another 6 tables...

For the first time in my life, I had to return a meal as it was simply inedible. The restaurant was busy, but we found a table easily enough. The kids enjoyed choosing their 5 things to go in a bag. Unfortunately the adult meal...

Well during refurbishment had to go upstairs for sunday morning coffee. Loud piped music aimless staff. Not an experience to be repeated. Could have been managed far better

Food was stone cold, was shown to microwave to reheat. Very busy no clean tables, complained to a member of staff, whom apologised and said they were new. Made the surgestion to go on to trip advisor. For just under £30.00 for two meals, the food was inadequate, very disappointed.

We were just driving along viewing Cotswolds villages when we saw a sign for this Farmhouse Kitchen . . . so decided to stop and have lunch. Glad we did. The location is beautiful and the restaurant offered many choices. The homemade cakes looked marvelous....

Although the refreshments taste good and it is situated in a nice area, the prices are much too high and therefore do not give value for money.

I was really good value and nicely done. Good quality food nicely presented and reasonably priced. Catering for all ages and pocket. Impressed a

Came here as this was the first place we came across and so glad we did, we were seated upstairs, we all had light bites which were crab & avocado on bruschetta which was lovely and very good for the price, thought the drink were a bit of the pricey side.

But disappiinted. Bought homemade cake and lots of tea. Cake not as nice as looked, tea very weak even 2 teabags together did not produce decent cup of tea. At £10 for 2slices cake 2 years quite disappointed.

Treated ourselves to a large full English breakfast each before dropping son off at Uni later in the day. Kept us going for hours :) Cheerful staff catered accurately for my (medical) dietary needs - I get the cheerfulness most places I go, but they don't always bring me the right things, or they add stuff I didn't specifically ask for which can invalidate the whole meal... Not here, it was perfect. Served quickly too. Excellent quality ingredients, each with real individual flavour. The cakes, breads and pastries also looked amazing, I was sorry I couldn't have them. Lots of people about at 10am on a Sunday, but still a calm place to sit: no muzak hurray, just the sounds of families and/or friends of all ages, from elderly couples to young ones, from small family with baby to large gathering, all enjoying a breakfast out.

I came here on the route home with a friend and decided to stop for a spot of lunch. The place was OK but nothing special with cafeteria style food. The pannini was ok but nothing more. I probably wouldn't eat here again but would stop for a coffee.

We called in here mainly for a look around the food store and to get a general feel of the place for possible future visits.We ate at the Farmhouse kitchen which was well laid out with helpful and friendly staff. We chose a couple of salads and sat outside owing to the decent weather. Service at the till was fast and efficient, the place seemed clean and well run by the staff, there were lots of menu options available. The food was good as you’d expect but I though slightly pricey for what we had. Overall a decent experience which will see us return to take in some of the other features of the site.

Visited this restaurant several times. There is a large selection of drinks available from the entrance of the restaurant, a serving area and also tea/ coffee area. There are also cakes available. There is always a nice selection of meals including a vegetarian option, as well as salads, jacket potatoes, and soup available. The food is always lovely and tastes fresh. One improvement could be that the food is not always served hot, sometimes the food is just about warm enough to eat. The restaurant can get very busy, especially during school holidays, but I have never had a bad experience at this restaurant!

Ideal location to meet up with family for breakfast. Arrived early so service excellent, plenty of room. All very clean and smart. Food is plenty full if not very hot my personal opinion would be to improve the quality but slightly less on the plate but overall reasonable value.

I visited here with my friend and our babies. We love Millets Farm and chose to eat here for lunch instead of the garden centre. It was absolutely heaving for a Friday, I expect because it's nearer to Christmas. The queue was horrendous and moving very slowly. I just wanted a sausage roll, described as artisan. It was clearly homemade and very tasty, but for £7.95 I should hope so! It came with a few chips but they were lukewarm. After the long wait for food, there was another long wait to pay as no one was on the tills. I pointed this out to the lady doing hot drinks and she promptly jumped on the tills. There were plenty of staff clearing tables so not sure why this poor lady had to try and be in two places at once. I think we'll try the garden centre cafe next time.

At 1:30 on a Wednesday the restaurant was quiet. Loin of pork served carvery style was fine. The meat was well cooked and tasty and the vegetables - carrots, Savoy cabbage and mashed potatoes (no other options) were also well cooked. There was, however, nothing to lift this meal above average. And I was disappointed to be told that no apple sauce was available to accompany the pork. The staff were pleasant and the restaurant was clean. The tables had been cleared. An OK meal at a reasonable price but this restaurant is not going on my list of favourites.

Visited here as we were going to the falconry centre on the same site. Food is locally sourced and cooked very well.

Visitamos con mi marido y pequeño y decidimos tener un almuerzo. Siendo Domingo optamos por el almuerzo de los domingos. Es un tipo cantina establecido así que hacer cola y pedir lo que quieras del menú.

Este jardín centro tiene 2 restaurantes, ambos tan malo como los demás, servicio lento, muy caro y una ensalada que carece de imaginación, el café es pobre, refrescos necesita una segunda hipoteca, evitar

Chose to travel to this location just on the assumption it would be good! Wrong selected fish and chips with peas, sausage roll and chips with beans, had to take fish back grey and not a nice taste, replacement not much better, change your oil it's awful, hubby didn't eat his food sausage roll awful not sure about the chips some were cold and some were just enedible.

Mesas sucias y suelos muy. Cuando el personal limpiaba la mesa para mí ella sólo cepillado las migajas en el suelo, con un paño húmedo la

My partner and I don't normally stop to eat whilst visiting the garden centre but on this occasion we did. There are a lot of options for food ( maybe too much) it's quite confusing with the main menu then all of the different sections...

Tan caro a la salida de la tarjeta de la máquina no tiene privacidad, ya que esperan que todas las tarjetas de 'contactless' las mesas sin papel higiénico no liquidados

First it was not clear how to order the food from the menu. Then it became apparent that you had to queue up for 15 mins (one person only was serving) and place an order. And hope that they hadn't run out of what you wanted. Several options were already sold out at 1:30pm. The food did arrive promptly however. Mainly as the pananni's were only shown the toaster not actually toasted properly. A lot to pay for self service soggy sandwiches on a Saturday lunch time. Would not visit afain.

It's ages since we visited and it was just as good, we had a lovely snack, and the one thing I like they put a cover over the plate so the food is kept warm until you get to your table and no one can cough or touch it until you take the cover off. Very clean the day we visited

This is a nice little restaurant next to the farm shop.They do a load of different meals,snacks etc or main meals.The food is very good and reasonably priced. The only downside is th number of young children running around.

Arrived at breakfast vs dinner crossover on Sunday, nothing left on the hot counter so we got coffee & tea etc. By the time we joined the queue for hot food, it was huge. No where to put trays of empty crocks from previous table users/our tea etc (weird). memorable, just not exactly in a good way.

We took my daughter to see Father Christmas at Millets Farm garden centre this afternoon, so we thought we'd go for drinks and cake.We arrived at 3.30pm (garden centre closes at 5.30pm) and there were no cakes, biscuits or hot food left.We finally got severed and ordered two 'luxury' hot chocolates, they were an absolute mess and stone cold.The tables were dirty and the floors were covered in rubbish.The only good point was the roaring log fire!

The cakes looked nice and homemade, which was a bit disappointing when the carrot and walnut cake was so dry I gave up eating it. I saw one of the staff and explained that it was very dry, hence I would be leaving it, and all he said was that it was freshly made this morning. No apology, so disappointing from a customer service and cake point of view. £8.10 for 2 teas and 2 "luxury" cakes. Won't be returning, which is a shame as it was really nicely decorated.

We were visiting the Falconry Centre, and knew we could get lunch here in between displays. It was a good meal - ham and cheese panini + cream tea / baked potato and pulled pork. Both were well cooked (potato included - properly baked!) with a small salad side. Panini took time to heat through, but was delivered to our table less then 10 minutes later.The dining area is clean and smart, with plenty of seating choice on a weekday - I imagine it can be crowded at a weekend. Restrooms were also very clean.The cooked main courses looked good enough we were sad not to be hungry enough to try them!If you go round the farm shop next door, keep a close eye out - you will find all sorts of foodie stuff you are spending your money on! *joke*

We stopped here on our way back from Bath for a bite to eat as it was halfway to our home. I decided to go for a mozzarella and tomato baguette and ordered two from the cabinet which came in at £5.95 each. I inspected the baguette and found it was a mashed up blend of god knows what, but it was not mozzarella and it tasted terrible. I took it back and the server assured me it was a pureed blend of mozzarella and tomato. Why blend it? Unless it isn't what it says it is. So I exchanged it for two tuna and cucumber baguettes which were equally disappointing. The tuna was dry, although it stated it was mixed with mayonnaise and the bread did not seem fresh. Why not make sandwiches to order rather then keep pre-made sandwiches in a cabinet which renders then dry and tasteless. I am not sure of the rest of the food, but its probably pretty standard, I just expected more after paying £11.00 for two sandwiches. I would not recommend the baguettes.

Good selection of food and drink, plenty of staff, clean, choice of seating areas, they've done their best to make this easy to spend time and money

The first time I visited this place I gave it 3 stars. I have been back several times since, usually on the same occasion as visiting the well-stocked farm shop next door, and I now think it merits 4 stars.Came here for lunch with a friend and had a very tasty Peking duck baguette with side salad. The cakes are consistently very delicious and the coffee is good.

Great food and lots to choose from. We ate here with three children one with a nut allergy and they really enjoyed their meal box (lovely little scones for them to choose)We had an early lunch and by the time we were leaving it was very busy.

Nice food, lovely soup, but so so many people and not enough space. Very little in terms of space management and all a bit cramped, plenty of space to sit outside but no service to support it - eg clearing tables etc.Would go back, but on a weekday!

This restaurant appears to have been recently renovated and a good job has been done. There is really beautiful scenery around so it would be lovely to sit outside and watch the world go by when it is summer!I had a cappuccino which was pretty average. I had a bacon and sausage bap to eat which was good, but rather expensive for what you get (a recurring theme with other menu items it would seem) and there could have been more filling for the price.The adjacent farm shop is brilliant!As another reviewer has mentioned there was a bit of a smell here when I visited and the management have said this was likely down to some work they were having done so hopefully this would be sorted if you were to visit.

Our family are regular visitors to Millets Farm, mainly for the excellent falconry centre which should not be missed during your visit.We usually avoid the Farmhouse restaurant & garden centre cafe at busy times and either take a packed lunch or buy some rolls and fillings from the farm shop.We decided to visit midweek during half term and arrived early for breakfast rather than join the lunchtime rush.We were quite impressed with the restaurant refit and the food was lovely. My partner enjoyed the full breakfast, I really enjoyed the eggs florentine (so pleased to see this + benedict & royale on the menu!) and our children enjoyed their scrambled eggs.There seems less seating available and I'm not sure the benches at some of the tables will be very practical during busy times but it does look good - though there was an odd smell, not off putting enough to stop us enjoying our food though. We left the restaurant set up to enjoy another great visit to the birds of prey.

went to see what the refit was like but I was disappointed. The refit is a good idea but looks like they have run out of money as there is some of the old style still there. The service was awful. A ten minute wait for coffe as there was only one person serving and then there was a 20 minute wait for a sausage bap. It is a real shame It could be so good

Very rude and sarcastic Manager refused to let my two young children eat their small snack that we had brought from home, four adults where planning on eating and drinking in the estabishment, i didnt see the harm as it was not overly busy and as we where full paying customers i could not understand the issue, my two kids are very fussy eaters and would not eat the food served in the Coffee Shop so it would have been a complete waste of money, the Woman was extremly rude and caused a massive scene. WE WILL NOT BE RETURNING.

A very poor experience despite the advertising of 'Under New Management'. The permanent menu displayed around the 'canteen' shows several breakfast items that are not available at lunch time. The prices are for a restaurant service but a queue is likely with this 'canteen' service (food on display for serving). However there were so many people waiting to be served on this visit that orders were taken for later delivery - much later. The queue was just not worth the wait and it was expensive for what was delivered.The pricing of this 'canteen' food was restaurant pricing, ie far too high for what is offered and eventually served.When eventually delivered the food was on cold plates (ideal for salads but not hot food!) and the supposed hot food was only warm - presumably the same food on display at the 'canteen' queuing. When served this food had now become rather tired.There is much to be done by the 'New Management' and so far they have shown that they are not up to the challenge. An array of young, inexperienced and totally leaderless staff just does not help.

We have been to millets farm on many occasions for many years. It has a garden centre, art shop, animals, place to buy food and drink, food shop, walking route, pick your own and a bird place. The cakes in the shop are massive a whole days calories in one cake. The garden centre good for money. Lovely walk down by the animals. Throughout the year different events take place, the maze is great fun. Ice skating at christmas. You can spend a short time or all day at millets farm. Great for all ages. Free parking.

We love visiting Milletts but today the coffee stop wasnt up to much. The coffee my wife had was not too hot, as was the same for my hot chocolate which was very disappointing. The muffin was gorgeous mind. The meat bought in the shop was wonderful when I got home x

We've visited a few times with our children for picking pumpkins and visiting Santa Claus. The farm shop is great and the food place was lovely too. I bought some lovely Christmas gifts from the garden centre. Worth a visit!

Visited Millets Farm again to see Father Christmas. What an wonderful experience for children (and adults). The staff are fabulous. Made the time spent there a magical time for the children. Would recommend it to everyone.

Decided to take lunch at the coffee shop based in the garden centre. Food ok , but the filter coffee was possibly the worst I have ever tasted. A cup of brown cloudy water waved in front of a empty coffee jar, if this kind of establishment wish to complete with the Costa and Starbucks. There must learn to use good ingredients and trained staff. Enjoy the food, but do not drink coffee.

We have visited millets many times and it never lets us down. There is not many garden centres that kids love going to but this is the exception. They love the farm animals and kids play area, and they even enjoy the farm shop ( all down to the lovely cakes I'm sure ). Fantastic range of unusual bits and pieces on offer in both the farm shop and main shop. We tend to now take our own lunch as the restaurant is very expensive for a family and also the wait can be long at peak times. That said, if it's a treat them the food is fabulous with a real home cooked taste. You can make a trip to millets a full day out.

Never waited so long for breakfast - the man taking the orders was obviously a restaurant manager who had to improvise behind the counter and sadly did an appalling job, and the young staff under him had to try to get the orders out. Food was ok once it arrived, and I requested complimentary coffees as the ones we had purchased had been drunk 20 mins before the breakfast arrived! Appalling service, acceptable food but would not visit again.

This began as a garden center it now has pick your own,restaurant and cafes, nice shop selling fresh ingredients and other more exotic fares do large garden center selling very thing you can imagine.

Wow what an amazing place. Lots to see and do. I felt like I had walked into christmas it was amazing. Ice skating rink was lovely although I did think it was a bit expensive. There were lots of Christmas decorations to choose from and plenty of space to move around. The farm shop was fantastic the smell when you walk in of fresh vegetables is amazing. We bought lots of different things. Everything we bought was good quality and very tasty. Can't wait to visit again before christmas. Xx

My first visit here although my parents have visited before several years ago.Cant say much except that the food was very expensive for the quality and quantity and that the toilets need a total refurbishment. Wet floors, leaking urinals and broken tiles.Tables in the restaurant left uncleared and food on the floor, will not visit again.

We visited Millets Farm for a family reunion as it was a central venue for us all. There was something for everyone, the children had a fantastic time, the walk was very pleasant and the shops and café were good. There was a maze and some animals to see plus a play area. Definitely a great family day out!

I had not been to this cafe next to the farm shop for several years, and now I know why! It was almost run by school children/ students earning extra cash at the weekends, with little pride in the place. The floors were filthy as were the tables, and when the old plates and cups were removed the tables were not wiped down, absolutely disgusting.Watching the food handlers prepare the food, they did not wear gloves and touched all the open sandwiches and fillings, it is not cheap here, very over priced for what you get, and just scruffy. I was glad to get out of there and certainly will not be returning to this grubby, expensive hole!

We went to Millet restaurant as it was my husband 40th, and decided to take him for lunch. the one part of the restaurant there was dirt and rubbish falling from the ceiling. We order some lunch, and the food was terrible the salad leave were rotten and tomatoes were going black. the sausage and chutney ciabetta had no taste and was disgusting, jacket potato was over. NEVER GOING THERE FOR THE LUNCH AGAIN. they refuse to give me a refund for the TERRIBLE FOOD. NOT HAPPY AT ALL.

very dated and run down restaurant compared to the gorgeous farm shop just adjacent to it. the toilets are horrific - wet floors, broken tiles and very dirty. it's incredibly overpriced for really poor quality food. the coffee is bitter, drinks overpriced and the food is poor quality and extortionate. over £6 for a jacket potato is ridiculous - it's a potato with bought in fillings that cost almost nothing. the staff arent great - slow and not great at cleaning tables quickly which leaves the place messy. it's a shame that the place is so great, but you cant get a good cup of tea or lunch. they have a captive audience and know this, charging a lot for poor quality food. paninis are bland and the cakes are all bought in and generic tasting. the farm shop has incredible cakes, breads and plenty of things that could be served in the restauarant. the farm shop is very reasonably priced, and i wouldnt mind paying high prices for the things in the restaurant if they were from the shop as the quality would be second to none. it's obviously not the farm shop who run the restaurant which is a shame. the restaurant lets the whole place down. we'll be coming to the farm shop and heading elsewhere for lunch in future. i took my mother after raving about the place, but the restaurant experience (i'd never been in before) really let it down. i believe there's a cafe in the garden centre so i'll give that a go next time and hope that it's run by millets and up to the standard of the rest of the place. the restaurant really doesnt belong there.

We made the error of rocking up to the cafe at 4 on Sunday afternoon.Allied to the indiferent welcome and drab, tired interior we had to endure listening to a bored waitress making as much noise as she possibly could stacking chairs and trays.No big deal perhaps in the grand scheme of things...... but wholly unecessary.

we just had tea this time but last time we had a meal,good on both occasions,the only thing that spoiled it for me was there were quite a few wasps bothering us, but that is not thier fault and is part of the nature chain xx

From start to finish, we had a very disappointing service at Millets Farm restaurant. I had wanted to book an afternoon tea for my sister and family and I discovered that upon checking my booking(which had been made a month before), nothing had been noted and they weren't aware of us coming. Anyway I booked again.We arrived at 3:30 as we had been told to get there early. The floors were dirty and some of the tables were being wiped. The tea did not come till 04:10 and the scones were rock hard and clearly a day old and seemed 'shop bought' and not home made.I wanted a proper afternoon tea but they told me I could only have a cream tea despite advertising on the website.As it was a birthday celebration, I didn't want to make a big fuss on the day. I have frequented Millets often in the past and have been really pleased with it before. But this experience has put me off and I think I am most disappointed by the attitude of the staff who shrugged off my husband's complaint because they were 'short staffed'.Not good enough Millets.

Looking for a quick bite on our way home from the south coast back to Birmingham we happened upon this mega farm outlet and enjoyed a panini, flapjack & coffee on the sunny garden terrace outside the canteen restaurant. Afterwards we briefly indulged ourselves in the farm shop and came away with corn on the cobs, plums, Rocquefort, and chocolate thins! No time for the garden centre but I'm sure we'll be tempted to return on another journey down south.

Размер фермы впечатляет - здесь есть много активностей для семей с детьми, проводятся различные выставки, есть кафе и ресторан, есть магазин с фермерскими и другими продуктами. На самой ферме можно набрать ягод, фруктов, овощей по сезону. Прекрасный яблоневый сад, есть также и сливовые деревья, черешня. В магазине большой выбор овощей, причем указано, что выращено здесь, а что привезено, откуда привезено (на других фермах часто не указывают). Ресторан нам показался дорогим, основное обслуживание закрывается уже в 4 часа, после этого остаются только сендвичи и яичница с ветчиной и картошкой фри за 10 фунтов.

Quite a busy day so apart from the specials always available the rest of the food had to be fresh cooked and it was excellent. Sweet and sour pork melted in the mouth and the pork was plentiful and delicious.

This garden centre is quite large with lots of space for children to run around. They have animals and in the summer a maze. They also have pick your own and a farm shop.The garden centre itself has a large indoor area as well as an outdoor area. They sell lots of bath and body products, gift items, cookware, indoor plants as well as garden sundries,Outside they have a large variety of plants and shrubs as well as pots, garden buildings etc.There are two cafes. It is certainly worth a visit.

So this was my experience from our last visit to Millets Farm. Not sure if anyone else will have the same thing happen to them! But here goes. We had just finished off a mediocre Roast Beef Dinner on a Sunday which was pretty dry and tough, so we thought we would try the rhubarb crumble that was on offer as a little treat after our mammoth chewing session. So, we went up to the pudding area and thinking it was self-service, we took a bowl of crumble that was lined up neatly in a row and was JUST ABOUT to spoon on the custard, when a voice shouts over to us and says "No!....No! You can't do that yourself! Put it down!".....abit startled, I replied, "Oh, is it not self-service"? To which she replied...."No. It's OBVIOUSLY not self-service! The HANDLE on the custard is FACING AWAY FROM YOU LOOK!!!" to which the ladle was then swiftly taken off me like a naughty child.........(Yes, for those of you unsure of what I meant by the handle, she was talking about the CUSTARD LADLE/SPOON that was facing away from me!!)........WHAT THE ???? I was alittle taken aback. Did I hear right?! Was she just telling me, that I was supposed to know it was not self-service by the .......direction of a spoon?? I honestly did not know there was a "secret spoon language" that I was never made aware of! Never, have I come across a place, where you are told whether it is self-service simply by the direction of which a spoon faces before!!It clearly ISN'T OBVIOUS that it was NOT self-service, since half of the restaurant is actually self-service! (Such as all the cakes, cold puds, kids lunch items etc) Perhaps if they wish to make it MORE OBVIOUS, the management should consider NOT NEATLY PORTIONING BOWLS OF CRUMBLES UP, lined up in a row, NEXT TO a bowl of custard all within arm's reach then!! How about this? Simple solution so that nobody will get confused- just have a large tray of crumble - uncut??? So that it actually looks like you shouldn't help yourself. Job Done. Aggro avoided.The crumble was actually very nice after the unpleasant telling off. But I felt that the way we were spoken to was totally unprofessional and the explanation was just plain ridiculous, which is why they get a 1 rating. Now, I'm off to enrol at the Oxfordshire School of Spoon Language.

I have literally just come back from a visit to Frosts garden centre/millers farm shop what a shambles and it will be the last. Had lunch in the potting shed and the service was painful to watch and to be part of plus for £7.95 you got a ploughmans with one slice of bread!, I can't say the staff were unfriendly just slow and didn't have a clue if they ever have a rush on I don't think the customers will survive the wait. Then I bought a few items in the garden centre not a smile or any form of courteousness. I have just noticed a for normal card with a dog on I was charged £3.99!then I went into millers farm shop holding my bag of purchases 2 tills were open with two very long queues then finally they had the sense to open another I was first there as it was my turn. She told me it was £5.98 fine and did I want a bag I said yes she saw I was struggling with my other shopping with I had bought there and did just that put a bag on the counter and the goods didn't even bother to put the chocolate in for me!!! no service, no smile and eventually if the carry on like this no customers I am more annoyed with myself that I spent £40 there never again

The restaurant was closed on a day when there was a large food festival which seemed slightly odd.Cafe has a reasonable selection of foods available but disappointed that the restaurant was closed.

There are two places to eat at millets. There is the restaurant by the farm shop or the potting shed by the garden centre. The shed is by far the better option, serving teas and coffees, sandwiches, paninis, jacket potatoes and children's sandwiches. Possibly a bit pricey but good food.

We could barely believe the standard of food being served in the canteen/restaurant. Sunday roast was extremely bland and definitely not worth £9.50. It reminded me of school dinners. Seems odd, given the standard of food sold in the farm shop is so good?!

Very disappointing lunch recently. Mushroom soup advertised but none left when I said perhaps it would be good to wipe it off the blackboard I got a teenage grump and no action! Only 1 sausage left for sausage at chips when 2 were the standard and no more were available. Veggie pasta bake £9 wow for pasta and cauliflower in a sauce. Not good at all will not be back.

We visited Easter Monday, as expected the entire place was extremely busyWe are huge fans of Millets particularly the the fantastic vegetables grown in the farm fields, the early season asparagus is simply amazing !Today we decided to extend out visit and have lunch in the ground floor restaurant, what a shambles and a complete let down, although Millets have a fine butchery, fantastic deli and some of the finest produce in Oxfordshire the food available here is entry level frozen microwave food with condiments offered in the form of unbranded sachets in a dated restaurant environment which feels very 1990's in every aspect other than the cost of the food.Come on Millets, you are better than this, your dining facilities should be an excellent showcase for the seasonal produce you have available and not what we experienced today...

Myself and my husband went to Millets farm restaurant for a Sunday roast on 15 March. I must admit I was disappointed. The young girl serving the food threw it all onto the plate like it didn't matter what it looked like. The food was Luke warm and tasteless. Such a shame as the farm shop is lovely, with a wide range of fresh produce. There are animals for the children to pet and a lovely shop and lots of things to buy for the garden. They also have a cafe which I have been in many time that serve delicious cakes, scones etc and it has a pleasant atmosphere. The restaurant really lets such a lovely family attraction down.

Took my daughter to the Christmas experience today and I was very impressed, it was by far the best Santas grotto I have ever been to and it was fantastic value for money! Santa was very friendly and the way he presented himself was very reassuring to be around. This will definitely be a regular place we visit and look forward to experiencing it in the summer with the maze.Today has started a new Christmas tradition for us!Thank you

Coffee and cake in the restaurant by the farm shop Good service and with the fire lit a great place for a November morning Worth the wait and the food looked good as well

A very large garden centre, falconry centre, farm shop and restaurant. The shop sells lovely local produce, cakes and sandwiches, together with many jams, preserves etc. The adjoining restaurant, which is comfortable, serves a selection of staple British food, sandwiches etc in a friendly and convivial atmosphere, from locally produced products. Good value as a stand alone visit, but really good when visiting the falconry or garden centre etc. Almost forgot, in season you can pick-your-own and there is a nice children's play area and petting station.
