Murton Tea Room in Angus - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A great wee place, even in the pouring rain. The emphasis is on proper cafe food (think soups, toasties and jackets) done really well and followed up with a gorgeous homemade cake. Friendly and attentive service and lovely views out to the reserve itself make for a very nice setting for a leisurely lunch or coffee and cake

Was staying Lochside for weekend visiting family. Was advised to call ahead as there were 7 of us all together to see if there would be a free table. Dogs not allowed us we were okay with that. Was told that we could walk him on the grass area if he needed too just before you come in. Staff were lovely and very informative about the nature reserve which unfortunately wasn’t open due to flooding. Excellent banter with one of the waitresses but they were all lovely and good with the kids. Foo was good just your normal sandwich and side etc. Cakes looked yummy. Lovely place to visit with kids

No dogs allowed, no exceptions. Shame really. Was looking forward to trying their cafe, and was disappointed after walking some distance along the road to get there.

Dogs not welcome. I can understand the nature reserve not allowing dogs but the cafe! We were camping near by and it would have been lovely walk to the cafe for a coffee and a treat but unfortunately no.

As a family we absolutely love Murton farm and it’s a wonderful spot for the wee ones. However this is probably the third or fourth time we’ve ordered food and been very underwhelmed. I ordered a panini for myself and one for my daughter and was told it would be about 20mins, which was fine….almost 40 minutes later they arrived. I would understand if they were super busy etc but it wasn’t and it wasn’t an overly complicated order - a cheese and ham panini! Also to note, that the kids cheese panini was two tiny squares of bread, my daughter was hungry again by the time we left. The girls who work there are all lovely and were very apologetic, no complaints there. It’s just quite disappointing that every time we have been, there always seems to be a substantial wait for food regardless of how busy it is. I understand a lot of small businesses are struggling with cost of living, increase in prices etc so would never want to judge too harshly but the kids panini was shockingly small for the cost. A bit of a disappointment but the rest of the farm is absolutely fab and worth a visit.

This is a lovely cafe location & nice & clean inside. We decided to go for lunch based on the fact that we have visited for cake & coffee several times & their cakes are lovely. Sadly it was a huge disappointment. Granted, their soup was lovely but my husband had the blt ciabatta with his & it was really poor. Meant to be bacon lettuce & tomatoe. One bit of bacon split in two in the whole thing, one slice of tomatoe cut in half & no lettuce just a morsel of limp leaves clearly from a salad bag. My husband hates complaining, so I quietly told the girl who served us & said for her to let the owner know. When we got to the till all she said was, "next time asl for extra bacon". If I had of been with anyone other than my husband, I would of refused to pay the full price but as I said, my husband hates making a fuss. I don't believe it's making a fuss, I believe you should get what you pay for. We understand times are tough & prices have to go up but ripping off customers is not the way to go. Sadly, my husband's says he will complain with his feet, by not going back. It's a shame to loose local custom from such a nice place & I would like to think this was a one off, but really there's no excuse for very meagre sparse food. It is more expensive at The Mill, but that's where we will be returning, as a sandwich/ciabatta is packed with filling & worth the extra cost.

Exceptionally friendly cafe, with all the staff going out of their way to be friendly. And they serve the best cheese scones that I have ever tasted!

If you get a chance go to this lovely tearoom just outside forfar. If Linda is making the scones you are in for a treat!! The biggest fluffiest tastiest fruit scone I have had. What a fantastic place, great service, delicious coffee and a beautiful setting

Visited on a rainy day and we were met with a friendly welcome by cafe staff . We both enjoyed a delicious homemade fruit scone before having a wander around the grounds . Despite not having any small children with us , we took great delight in the area and learning a bit more about the resident animals. Our interactions with all the staff in the cafe and grounds were so positive. Do come and support this local business and charity

Great food and staff. Friendly service. We arrived on a busy day but the staff kept us informed of when our food would be ready. Lots of choice that out children liked.

What a wonderful experience Murton is. The food is delicious, place is clean and spacious and the girls working are so kind and lovely. Would def recommend after viting the animals and going for a walk around the reserve. The play area is also great for letting the kids let off some stream :)

These are the best scones in Angus.. and excellent coffee too supporting a great charity as well. I can’t recommend more.

We enjoyed a lovely coffee and scone / shortbread to celebrate my sister's birthday today - the sun was out so we sat outside - the lady who served us, Jenny, was so friendly and had all the qualities of a super waitress. We also met Molly, her colleague, was also happy in her job. These attributes are often missing when we have visited other cafes - it goes along way to meet s

I can't thank the ladies at murton enough. I visited one morning with a child that I support who has additional needs and is also in a wheelchair and the ladies was so accommodating. I asked for a hot chocolate to be nice and cool with extra napkins I also ordered a cup of tea and cakes. My tea bag was burst and without question they remade my tea while I was asking for this my service user had got hold of the hot chocolate and spilled it all over the floor. With a smile and a cheeky laugh the lady's cleaned this up (with my help) and without complaint. They put on the "farm video" also as we was unable to access the farm due to weather and we loved watching the animals going about their day. The lady's chatted to my service user who showed them how to say thank you in makaton and they said thank you in makaton to him for visiting. Without a doubt I would highly recommend a visit for anyone who supports someone with additional needs altho the coffee shop was quiet I am sure the service would be the same on each visit. Keep up the good work ladies and we will visit again soon.

Made a last minute decision to go out for a family lunch and was very disappointed with the quality and quantity of food. Ordered a baked potato with baked beans and could almost count the amount of beans put inside the baked potato. Very small portion of grated cheese in the cheese option too but could accept this a little easier as some cheeses are quite expensive. But baked beans can be purchased for around 30p a tin. Also ordered a cheese and ham toasted sandwich, and again there was so little cheese in it. In fact, suffice to say there was only one thin slice of cheese covering a quarter of the toastie. On bringing this to the attention of staff, the woman was very pleasant and apologetic and offered some cakes by means of compensation. By the time a second cheese toastie was served however, the coffee was cold. She confirmed she would bring the matter to the attention of the kitchen staff. Won`t be in a hurry to go back and will not recommend this cafe based on this visit.

This is a lovely little cafe on the Nature Park - there is a lovely 1 hour walk around the park and the lakes, and this place is friendly with good quality sandwiches and the most massive fresh baked sweet and savory scones

Fantastic tearoom out side Forfar Bird Hides, Nature reserve, good for families large parking area, walks, wild life eat in or out very Covid safe

We popped in for coffee as we had just completed a walk round the nature walk. The coffee was excellent as were the cakes.

Lovely family afternoon out. Lots of birds and wildlife to see on the nature walk. Restaurant and picnic area very well organised to allow for social distancing. Cakes were delicious and staff friendly. Toilets very clean. Will be back again!

Very well organised for social distancing with friendly and helpful staff and spotlessly clean toilets. Scones were amazing!

Nice tearoom for eatables when you take the family round the rare breeds park - looking for something at weekends or holidays to do with bored children then this ideal for a few hours - interact with the animals and birds

Visited for a quick coffee after a long walk, seen that they done cheesecake so thought we’d order a slice to share, as we’d just done a big walk. It was the best cheesecake I have ever tasted. Obviously a lot of passion and effort goes into making it. I couldn’t leave without taking some home so I bought the whole slab. Took some to give to my parents too. Very cosy wee tearoom, lots of choice and coffee very tasty too. Will be back again soon for more cheesecake. The girls are also very friendly and welcoming. Hidden gem.

Visited 22nd Jan. What a great place to visit. The nature reserve is excellent. Then popped in the Tea Room for a coffee, I was greeted by lovely staff. The cake selection was amazing. Served by Molly who couldn’t do enough to help. Will definitely visit again. Thankyou Murton.

A real favourite with us to visit. We love the stroll around rhe lochans, spotting wildlife, enjoying walking under the trees and, in season, wild flowers. Wonderful to see the sand martins as they return in spring. The cafe serves delicious food. A sustainjng bowl of soup, followed by one of their fantastic lemon oaty bars is a real treat.

Had a very good small breakfast here the staff very friendly the have a nature park for the kids to see all the animals and ther is a walk around the pond aswell some times ther is other thinks going on

We used to pop in here regularly for coffee and scones as they were consistently very good. However the cafe has now been extended and all the previous staff have left . I wonder why? Missed all the staff we got to know them, the quality has gone downhill and service not nearly so good.. On our last visit the scones we were told were just made but unfortunately they were clearly reheated. Will give it a miss and find somewhere else.

are excellent for the youngI have attended several times over the years with my wife The staff and surroundings are very bright and sunshine all around when it is not raining.VEry clean and tidy and the staff are excellent.A grat place for a few hours spending in good areas

Went for a sandwich and drink with my daughter, 2 drinks and 2 sandwiches £16.00, OK if they are great but just about average. The resturant has been extended the prices must be to cover the work. Won’t be returning.

We took our twin grandchildren who are just over two and half years old. Delightful looking place on entry but sadly in need of some money spent on it. Some of the toy cars and tractors were broken and the area where they were kept was very rough which made it difficult for the children to use them. Some of the wooden equipment looks old and worn, and the place had a general air of neglect. We couldn't see some of the caged birds as the grass was far too long in their compounds. Although I can understand the need for some growth to make the environment a bit more interesting for the chickens, the grass was very long which did not allow the birds to use all the area, only the little 'runs' they had made for themselves as they moved around. However the quality of the staff made up for the disappointment of the outside area. They were friendly and helpful and the food was well cooked and tasty in the cafe. We had used a discount voucher to gain entry but compared to other similar venues this place is kind of missing the opportunity to make a really good impression, I would have been really disappointed had we paid the full price.

Refurbished premises make eating here even better. Very pleasant, helpful staff serving excellent food. Country setting makes for very pleasant all round experience. Would definitely recommend.

Coffee was excellent. Pleasant range of lunches.

Went for the Easter hunt and children loved it. Went with 2 friends and 7 children so takes a lot to keep them amused. Animals are good and enough activities posted around to keep the children entertained. Zip wire and trampolines are great. Food was lovely and a great sharing platter for the children with ham, cheese, tomatoes, cucumber and crisps. Very reasonable prices too, no entry fee and food was only £30 for all 10 of us. Will definitely be back.

Lovely country park setting for a family lunch. Cheese scones are gorgeous and nice selection of food. Relaxed and family friendly.

Went a few weeks ago with my parents all had soup and sandwiches which were very filling everything is homemade which you can tell, can’t wait to go back and buy some of the lovely cakes they had on display as I was too full last time, only negative I can say and it really isn’t their fault was the amount of wasps flying about inside and round the food whilst were trying to eat but with the summer we have had we can’t do much about them as they are everywhere.

Food was lovely service was good.

I came to walk around the Nature Reserve to look at the burds. Lovely interpretation and view points. An easy walk. Children and adults will enjoy it.

The tea room overlooks Murton Farm and we enjoyed the cakes and the scone. The service was very good and friendly. The farm is a real find for families and is justifiably very popular.

Murton farm is an asset to the area - it’s well maintained, lots of interesting animals and activities for children with friendly staff and a great little cafe.

A family day out had something for everyone... feeding the animals a variety of activities including trampolines, zip wire, ball games and out side giant jenga. Finished off in the cafe where the service and quality of food was excellent. Service was quick and very efficient, quality of food was very good, paninis, sandwiches and afternoon tea were all delicious followed by a tasty variety of cakes. Would recommend a visit.

Our first visit but we will return. Service was efficient and friendly. Really made to feel welcome as soon as we set foot on the decking. We had sandwiches and coffee and found it very reasonable. Lovely place to sit and soak up the scenery.

Went here one Sunday for lunch with my husband and we both had soup. It was delicious and all staff were lovely and welcoming. Would recommend this place 100%!!!!!

Home made soup and a tasty cheese scone served by friendly staff and nice surroundings with a visit to the animals

We visited this spot for an early breakfast, having camped overnight down the road. Food is served from 10am and the breafast and coffee were both lovely. Both the tea room and loos were spotless and they catered for gluten free diets with no problem. Highly recommend.

Visited today with Jacob. We were here a few years ago. It is a beautiful place. The nature trail is beautiful. The wee one enjoyed seeing the animals and birds and enjoyed feeding them. The play areas were very good and we had ana amazing time. We went for a scone and a drink at the tea room. The scones were fabulous with blackberry jam. Really reasonably priced. Well worth visiting

Very nice place to go with the kids can go and see the animals and feed the donkeys then you can go for your breakfast after your walk around the paths staff are very nice and pleasant

We often stop in here for breakfast or lunch and always good, also good home baking to choose from, also had our grandchildren here for a lovely family day out as you can feed the animals have shot trampolines plenty to see and do

My sister and I took my niece and nephew (7 & 3) to Murton for the day as I had bought a voucher as part of their Easter. We all had a fantastic time and there was so much to do. Some little animals to see first of all then to the park area. Everything has been very well thought out and all looks very natural. There are 5 big round trampolines in the ground, two massive sandboxes with lots of buckets, spades etc, swings, activity courses, zip wire, basketball, wooden bowls, giant jenga, hoopla, swingball and several other larger animals such as goats, pigs and ponies. We went to the cafe for lunch which was fine and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Thoroughly recommend this place for a fun day out.

Great cafe . Service was excellent friendly staff. Mouthwatering cakes and snacks . Highly recommended for a visit

This was my third visit to Murton and by far the best.

My son and I took our lovely 1 year old daughter/ granddaughter Olivia to the park today, the staff so helpful, locked away our baby bag, saving us having to carry round park, we enjoyed our stroll round park, enjoying seeing animals , the sun was out it was a perfect day, on arrival back at tea room, welcomed by friendly helpful staff, nothing was a problem, quality of food, service 100%, would highly recommend a visit, I’m sure we will return.

Great place to take the kids, see the animals and have lunch in the tea room. Very friendly staff. Great play areas for the kids as well.

We were treated to a Christmas Gift Voucher to be used at Murton so we wanted to go for afternoon tea.....absolutely spectacular.

Fantastic cafe/restaurent with all home made meals and baking. The staff are excellent and service first class. The quality of all food and baking which is made at the cafe is superb. You must try if your in the area.

Visited here with family. The “farm/selection of animals and the interaction with them/play equipment” are quite basic, compared to other similar establishments which we have visited.

Arrived here on Easter Sunday to a very warm welcome and lots of activities which included egg decoration, drawing, potato printing and an egg hunt to name a few. Spent a lovely few hours here and found the staff very helpful. We then went into the tearoom and there was a great selection of food and drinks which were delicious and very reasonably priced. Once again staff were excellent so thankyou Murton Farm & tearoom for making our day so nice.

Always a warm welcome here, staff are really lovely. Food is extremely tasty, homemade soup is always delicious, we usually have the soup combo of soup and panini. Homemade 🎂 🍰 are scummy and very tempting. Well worth a visit.

Stopped in here for lunch & it was delicious, great variety & very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Another fabby visit to Murton Farm where we enjoyed an afternoon tea, delicious fresh sandwiches, extremely tasty scone and to finish, excellent selection of traybakes. Staff always so accommodating. Cosy and welcoming environment and good to see it busy.

Had lunch here with my sister in law & nieces. Was very busy but service was good, soup & sandwiches were excellent!

If you have young children advice not to set foot into restaurant.. No prams allowed. Took our 22 month old granddaughter, who was starting to eat her snack we brought for her lunch. The waitress started to take our order, when she informed us the baby could not eat her own food, We had ordered lunch ,but decided not to stay,We will never go back to this restaurant as others in the area are very child friendly,this place is definitely not.

Excellent light lunch served by friendly, welcoming staff. Reasonable prices and good selection of soups, sandwiches and cakes for both adults and children. Nice clean toilets. Will definately visit again.

travelled here yesterday with my family (ages 23 - 79) and we all enjoyed ourselves. easy to find with plenty parking. Friendly staff, great cakes and lots to see and do!

Excellent place to go for a coffee or for lunch, also good for kids, nice to sit outside if its a nice day

Very pleasant staff and lovely food. The sausages used in the breakfast roll were obviously from a butcher and were tasty. Very reasonably priced.

Ok ,so been here many times ,lovely fresh cakes, service very good too and spotless establishment This time however we had an afternoon tea ,very surprised when I asked if the two pieces of toast for my sandwich could be toasted...this was not a toastie....and was asked for 50p ! Taking it a wee bit too far don't you feel ? Especially as the bread is clearly cheap value.... that is a disappointment

Firm favourite with our daughter, and ourselves to be honest.Good fare to be had in café and good value. The farm animals outside are a great attraction as is the extensive play area.Highly recommended, very pleasant staff and well worth a visit.

Had an itison deal for lunch. So had soup and a toastie. Piping hot homemade soup and large, fully filled toastie. Both delicious. We planned to have a cake too but just too full this time. The selection though looked amazing, all home baked and fresh. A group were having afternoon tea and the sandwich platter and cakes looked incredible so we will return. Very friendly service and free WiFi!

We visited today for afternoon tea which we booked early to have as a late lunch (fab idea) and were so pleased we did. It was a damp, cold day so we didn't visit what looked like a lovely farm, but we do plan to go back.The Tearoom was warm, clean and modern yet homely and the welcome was friendly. The staff were really careful with our allergies, checking various things which meant we ate with confidence. Our choice of sandwiches arrived beautifully arranged on a huge platter, the bread was soft and fresh and they were generously filled.Now when it comes to cakes I'm hard to please but these did not disappoint. They brought out a cake stand with a lovely selection of really good quality home baked cakes and scones with portions of butter and generous dishes of good quality jam and whipped fresh double cream. My favourite cake was the lemon and coconut traybake which was moist and sweet yet lemony sharp, really superb. Even the coffee was good, piping hot and excellent quality. We were even offered a bag to take home the cakes we didn't manage which was a nice touch.Everything considered we thought this was excellent value and we won't hesitate to return.

Lovely little tea room, good value for money clean and friendly staffLovely home baking available aswell as other itemssuitable for the kids too

Great little tearoom, does a lovely afternoon tea.Good selection of fillings for sandwiches, replete with a cake stand with scones and traybakes.Also allowed us to take tea / coffee or hot chocolate with the afternoon tea.Lovely table service, with an outlook over the farm.

Just back from having afternoon tea with my family. Delicious sandwiches, fabulous homemade cakes and cakes and tea,coffee, juice. Served by very helpful staff who twice came over to ask if everything was ok for us. Definately be back for more visits.

Visited here today for the first time, was served by a lovely waitress, I had the most amazing home made tomato soup that was piping hot, followed by an egg mayo sandwich that was packed with filling, hubby had the sweet potato and ginger soup and a chicken mayo sandwich following by a 'large' slice of tiffin. Cant fault this place, we will definitely be back and if you have not been you MUST go!!

Visited this tea room with grandson who was taking part in an organised "make a birdbox" event. Plenty off road parking adjacent to Tea Room. Open air activities on offer for children and walks set out for families. Something for everyone. The farm animals, ducks etc on the pond all make for an interesting visit. The tea room serves lovely variety of home made soups, sandwiches and baking and is well appointed.

Popped by for lunch on a crisp autumn day.The soup-broccoli & stilton- was piping hot and hit the spot.Sandwiches of chicken mayo and bacon,brie & cranberry were perfect.Home made scones accompanied by a pot of tea for two finished off our enjoyable lunch.Lovely setting and the cafe is spotlessly clean.Shall be back soon.

Having frequented t the Tea Rooms many times, I was as always looking forward to my visit, prior to attending a meeting in ForfarI have never been disappointed with the food and the delicious home baking and the same still applies.On this particular visit, the tearoom was not busy, if my mind serves me correctly, there were 4 lots of customers, which was 4 tables bring used, including my table.I sat there for a considerable amount of time I noticed that the waitress was taking individual table orders then making the coffee etc then serving the table that she had taken the order from, before taking the order from the next table.A table of 3 who had been sitting since before I entered the tearoom were now having their order taken, as I am a cake lover, my order was only going to be a cake and a coffee. Having sat there for a longish period of time and my request was not for hot food, I asked politely if I could please order a Latte and a piece of sponge, to which the answer was returned, No,these people are next, orders are taken one at a time.As much as I love the home baking I was not prepared to wait at least another 15 minutes for a coffee and a cake.At the time of my recent visit there was a special voucher deal that I had intended purchasing for either lunch or afternoon tea. Needless to say I gave that a miss.I will at some point return because the home baking is very good, however, should I have the same experience again I will not return.Disappointed with my experience and lack of food, I visited a tearoom in Forfar prior to my meeting and had the best soup I have ever tasted.

The cafe has an excellent view over the loch, especially if it is warm enough to sit on the decking. Coffee is always beautifully made and the scones home made and fresh. Plenty for children to do as well as a lovely walk at back of car park. Not very well sign posted at start of walk and along the trail but worth finding. However do wear stout footwear as it can be very damp. There are also bird hides around the loch on the trail

The food in the tea room is just brilliant and fresh made. You have the choice of sandwich,soup or a main course and a great choice of fresh bakes and scones. Highly recommend this wee gem of a tea room.

We primarily went here as our Grandchildren wanted feed animals. Unfortunately not really a petting farm as you really do not get near the animals. Despite this the place has a lovely feel and the way the animals are penned across a large area is great as it allows children to run about without it being crowded. Sadly we could not find Floppy and Ernie the donkeys which was a little sad. We had something to eat in the Tearoom. The menu could do with having a little bit more variety such as ice cream for hot days like today. The food was fine not great but again there was a nice atmosphere.Murton Farm is a registered charity and all proceed go right back into the farm to help children / teens / young adults learning coping skills with the use of animals. Definitely worth a visit.

Had a great day out here. Kids loved running around and feeding the animals. We also had a sensational walk around the reservoir- so peaceful. Staff were all helpful and friendly. We finished the day with high tea in the farm cafe - delicious. Great Day Out!

Good food at reasonable prices whilst sitting outside watching the ducks on the pond. The staff are always polite and helpful.

After spending a couple of hours enjoying the facilities at Murton Farm animal park and outdoor play centre we decided to have a coffee and snack before we left. The cafe staff were attentive and friendly, the home baking was varied and of a very high quality, and it was a great way to finish our day out. The Tearoom itself is definitely worth a visit even if you're not actually using the farm facilities, as was clearly obvious by the number of couples that were doing just that. Recommended.

Cafe is quite basic but there is a selection of teas and small selection of cakes, only meringues for Gluten free the day we visited,Family friendly with a large parkland for running around with animals in pens. Also a play equipment area.Those interested in nature would enjoy a walk around the wetlands where many species of birds can be spotted.

Came here for a Saturday lunch, local to Forfar and always wanted to try and see the place as pass so much. A great little tea room, all clean and well kept. Plenty of staff on which is always good to see, and all were very friendly and of great service. All food we had was very tasty and plenty of it, we were full after our lunch which is always good! The home baking was delicious and will definitely be back for more. Having the farm makes it an ideal place for a day visit with a stop for some good homemade good afterwards!

Absolutely delicious food, great prices and all within an excellent attraction for the family!! Soups, sandwiches, quiche and homemade desserts made a difficult decision but it was all wonderful!!

We visited in the afternoon and there were two other tables occupied which was good as I find it is not really very pleasant to be the only customers. We were served quickly as was only to be expected and found the staff to be friendly enough and not as stated in previous reviews.The choice is as you would expect at lunchtime with the usual soup sandwiches etc but we both enjoyed what we ate and found the price and quality to be good.We didn't visit the farm so can't really comment.Lots of seating outside if the sun shines.

I have to say was rather apprehensive after reading last few reviews As customer service is somethingI expect The service we received was excellent very friendly and attentive The breakfast is excellent quality and great value the whole thing was cooked extremely well ant e the homemade raspberry jam was was exceptional Unfortunately they had run out for retail We will certainly return and would recommend to all We were maybe lucky as there was plenty tables on arrival just after 11am on a SaturdayThere seems plenty to do in the outside adventure play area and that seemed well attended at 1.50 child that seem excellent value for money

Lovely weather,so the sitting out experience was really enjoyable. Looking over a fabulous scenic view .Staff very helpful, and attentive ,food excellent.Unfortunately the resident animals were not so sociable ,other than the various hens which we saw no one else appeared . I appreciate that animals maybe sleeping etc however there is a vast amount of land, and you are charging an additional entry fee to see the animals. Perhaps a few more ,and of differing species too would be nice ?Will be back though ...but not to visit the animals if there are so few !

My husband and I visited the coffee shop on Friday 20 May. Very disappointing. Staff very unhelpful, they did not want to be there and the cakes looked as they had been sitting there for a few days. Carrot cake loaf, the icing pretty hard not what you would except. Won't be back.

Although the food was fresh and tasted good I found the staff to be not very welcoming. The words Hello, thank-you aren't hard to use.

Had the pleasure of visiting this coffee shop on Friday 6th May we had a lovely afternoon tea, scones excellent as were the selection of other cakes. The homemade jam to go along with the scones was delicious so much so that i bought a jar to take home. Staff were very friendly and helpful, lovely surroundings on a lovely day. Will definitely be recommending to friends and having a repeat visit!

We have been to murton farm a few times. I love going seeing the animals and having wonder around. Finishing the trip with a bite to eat. The farm was as good as ever, but the cafe wasn't as good. Food was disappointing and staff not as cheerful as normal. I hope we just got them on a bad day.

We visited here here Saturday 30th April, we had a voucher from Itison for a bespoke afternoon tea for 2 which cost us £11 and gave us each a coffee or tea, choice of sandwich, scone and jam/cream and a tray bake cake.I had previously phoned as per instructed on the voucher to make a reservation and was a bit embarrassed and disappointed to find when we got there that there was no table kept for us, there were 2 empty tables available though and we sat at a table for 2 near the door.The place was very busy with families and was a bit to noisy for us as a couple but that was to be expected, eventually we got our order taken and served.We both ordered the cappuccino which was lovely, but both found the sandwiches tasteless and dry, I had the cheese and onion and my husband the chicken mayonnaise, the scones were dry and the amount of jam and cream was barely enough for one scone never mind two, the cupcake my husband had was dry and bland, the coconut lemon tray bake was lovely as was the other tray bake, these were bite sized and probably about half a normal portion.There was an older member of staff who went around the other tables asking the diners if everything was ok, for some reason she did not ask us, we felt a bit ignored and assumed it was because we had used a voucher, the young pleasant dark haired girl who was behind the counter when we came in and went on to take our order did come over before we were finished and asked if everything was ok, not wanting to make a fuss we just said yes.The decor is basic and the floor was not very clean possibly lots of crumbs on floor due to the amount of small children, it was by no means dirty.We were really disappointed with our visit and it was certainly not worth the journey from Dundee, unfortunately I would not recommend this place to my friends, lovely surroundings outside though.
