Newlyns Farm Shop, Cafe & Cookery School in Hart

Totally blown away by the quality of the meal we ordered! Both had the crab and prawn linguini which was devine, and amazingly reasonably priced. Great service, too, plenty of staff who were also lovely.

One of the best farm shops in Surrey and Hampshire. The staff are very knowledgeable and the butchers is world class. The meat and diary products come from the 1000-acre farming operation. The shop also sells award winning cheese. The deli also has some top quality foods. The cafe also offers a great valiw breakfast. Newlyns is a centre of excellence in its field.

Lovely farm stopped for a snack and coffee the food in the shop looked great wish I lived closer would use more often .Bit pricey but if you want quality food you have to pay the right price.

Best cottage pie ever.....meat was so tender.....flavour excellent....highly recommend.....absolutely delicious 😋

Good food ,well presented goods and lovely restaraunt

We did the wonderfully Knife skills course. Sarah was a great teacher supported by the brilliant team of Sergio and Katie. We got the chance to practise knife skills on lots of different vegetables and fruits as well as some meat as well as getting lots of really helpful shortcuts and tips . As you prepare 4 dishes ( including a desert ) for 2 people and only eat one of them for lunch you are guaranteed to leave with lots of delicious meals. The knowledge I gained is kitchen life changing. Well worth the money.

Amazing farm shop, such a good range of products & very tidy. Plenty of parking too.

We enjoyed a long dog walk on the closeby canal and were very much looking forward to lunch at a well regarded farm shop cafe …..but apparently only drinks and cake can be served to their outdoor decking (not hot food or lunch etc). We fully except sitting outside cafes if we have our dog with us. But to be told we can only be served a drink or cake seemed bizarre. What is worse is that a high percentage of uncleared tables clearly had plates that were used for hot food and therefore not just cake. So unfortunately Newlyns Farm Shop lost a customer due to this odd rule. So moral of story……don’t head to Newlyns cafe and ask for an outside table (there is a small area where you are asked to be seated when you walk in the cafe)….if you are wishing to sit outside and eat anything other than a cake and a drink. We were a bit surprised to be denied lunch and we totally realise the pleasant young lady who delivered the news was just doing as asked….so we didn’t wish to give her a hard time, I also wasn’t really in the mood to ask for the manager and debating the policy with them. So we accepted the surprising policy and left hungry. We had managed to get our hands on a menu prior to being told we couldn’t eat 90% of what was on it outside on their decking….Newlyns appear to charge as much as I’ve ever seen at a farm shop cafe (£16.95 for a ‘farmers breakfast’ and even more for a ploughman’s lunch!)….they definitely have their pricing policy extremely up to date, I just wished they could focus on the customer experience a lot better and not waste people’s time by preventing hot food being served on their rather nice outdoor decking area (half the tables appeared to have plates that somewhat contradicted their policy) Sorry, we can’t recommend Newlyns and hope they review their feedback and perhaps mention their odd food serving policy on their website etc?

Good quality shop food, and a good selection, but they know how to charge! Then they won't take Amex, which I think is a little hypocritical! Come on guys, I'm sure most of your customers use Amex, and whilst im sure they have other card options, where's your customer loyalty & flexibility? Love the sausages and the pies!!

Early Saturday morning breakfast. Mrs C had something healthy but I had the 8-piece full English with fried bread as a rate treat. Each item was perfect, especially sausage, bacon and black pudding. Will become a regular...

Great selection. Worth a visit.

Loved the build your own full english. Cheese room was great and the staff were very kind.

First visit to the cafe today, and it won’t be the last! Just slid in before the 3pm cutoff point for hot food! Fish finger sandwich (my all time favourite) was delicious, as was my husbands chicken bacon and avocado sandwich. Service is friendly and efficient, we sat outside in the sunshine, a great spot for a bite to eat.

Met a friend there for a cuppa and a catch-up at 11:00. Delicious tea and coffee outside in the sunshine. Once our thirst quenched we went to the farm shop for supplies of sausages and chops for the next week or two. Then to the deli for lunch supplies. A load of sourdough, some almond danish, terrine, pate and a marmite and cheese sausage roll; then some Délice de Bourgogne from the cheese room completed our visit. All back to our house for a delicious lunch in the summer sunshine with a glass of bubbly under an umbrella on the patio. We asked ourselves “why haven’t we done this before?”

Fantastic butcher, great vegetables, deli & cheeses.

Fantastic breakfast. Very delicious. High quality ingredients.

This would be 3.5 stars. The breakfast was clearly made with decent quality items, but the sausage didn't taste of much, nor did the eggs. I was just a tad underwhelmed considering what I've heard and the price paid. There is a farm shop not far away which does superior sausages so we are, admittedly, spoilt.

It's cafe always promises more than it delivers. It has such potential.. but for some reason limited joined up thinking.The vegetarian lunch choice in the cafe is so limited and yet the farm shop itself has things like a great veg fritatta and interesting salads. I had the hummus salad today really poor for £ 10.95. Why can't they do things like scrambled egg on toast all day like other places? Or even the version of croque monsieur without ham,croque madame.. Sorry we won't be going back for a long while. I think there are much better offers locally at a better price point too.

Stopped for lunch, nice cafe with a outdoor seating area, good was enjoyable but pricey

What an absolute GEM Newlyns Farm Shop is! As a South African born Canadian, I can tell you that their biltong, droëwors is superb! Unfortunately I have no photographic evidence of the latter, it was consumed the minute we got home. The fresh lamb shanks we bought was brilliant, not too mention the Steak and Kidney and Steak and Onion pies. Bursting will filling and massive in taste. Thank you Newlyns, we are off to Canada again soon, but will see you in 2025 again!

Awesome farm shop with a great cafe - check out the cakes!

Great lunch with friends. Good variety of choices on the menu. Visited shop and bought lovely goods from there. Would recommend.

Great cafe a d rely nice food. Great coffee and too long in wait time

We stopped here to break our journey from Suffolk to Somerset. We needed somewhere dog friendly and wanted somewhere relaxing. Well, it was perfect! A lovely lane to let our dog stretch his legs and then we could sit outside with him and enjoy a fabulous lunch (I am still dreaming of my lunch!!!) I had a fish finger sandwich, and it was at a whole new level!!! Beautifully batter fresh fish ...my mouth is watering! We finish off with a quick shop to get a few fresh provisions for our holiday! We will be back xxx

Great place to stop for delicious meal travelling on m3. Good farm shop

We had a cheese wedding cake from Newlyns farm shop and this was one of the best decisions we made. From the start of the process, Jo was very knowledgeable and easy to get along with and really helped us plan the perfect cheese cake. Our guests absolutely loved it!

Quite expensive for a very small Mediterranean tart and a bit of salad. Service slow though staff pleasant. Bit disappointed so probably won't bother to go again.

Absolutely love Newlyns. Incredible selection of organic fruits & veg, top class butches, bakery, deli counter.. artisan cheese shop.. fabulous wine & spirit merchants with weekend tastings.. on top of the most friendly welcoming staff.. the cafe does the best cooked breakfast & coffee.. feel so lucky to live nearby.. keep up the good work team!

Great place. We were a group of 10 cyclists. Brilliant friendly service and a good choice of food. Our orders arrived quickly and were hot and very tasty. Visited the farm ago and took two chicken tikka pasties home. They were delicious. All of our group were very happy with our choice of place to stop for our break, we would definitely go again. A wonderful place 😁😁

Excellent farm shop with a wide selection of foods, excellent butchers and you have to try the pies.

Very nice. Good parking. Kinda spenny. Will be returning to look around their wine and spirits shop and the cheese room!

Had breakfast food expensive but lovely

Very well stocked farm shop and excellent cookery school. I've done two courses at the school now and really enjoyed them both. Not the cheapest but worth it, makes for a great birthday gift.

Probably still the best brunch in the area, but could do with better vegetarian options - there are plenty of good meat substitutes available these days. Staff are always friendly and helpful.

Great place for a bite to eat from locally produced sources and then you get to buy the food you tried from the farm shop, if you wish. It's not cheap, but food is on another level compared to supermarkets. Service was good in the cafe.

Went for pie fresh veg,and pudding...lovely!

Booked a table for a family gathering to celebrate a 40th birthday. Pleasantly surprised that the staff had prepared a dish in advance for a member with food intolerances. Adult meals were colourful and generous; the children’s meals were enjoyed, though I wonder whether more vegetables could be included? The wooden play equipment outside was ideal for entertaining our children whilst we waited for food. Thank you Newlyns

Surprisingly nice cafe. Farm shop is also very good

Good quality products. Expensive. Service can be cold and unfriendly.

Sunday all day breskfast very cost effective on price and service with very quick service with personable staff to match. Howver the menu could be a little more diverse to include cold or healthier options ideal for the summer to include bircher, ceresl, pancakes, yogurt and fruit. And in winter such as porridge or waffles.

Wonderful pies can definitely say the chicken and ham was delicious

Best breakfast/Brunch I have had in ages. Very tasty. The shop was also great, especially loved the cheese section. Next time I will bring my cover bag so I can pick up some more treats. Will definitely go back.

Fantastic coffee. A warm and friendly welcome awaits.

Farm shop is excellent, all the products are top notch. We tried the Farm Café, food (sandwiches) is delicious but the prices are not meant for regular people. Anyway, was good for a “once in the lifetime”

Lovely selection of good and friendly staff x

No comments from management?? Nearly all local guides comments, think this place is wonderful. But many of the other comments have expressed concerns??

I had the hummous salad, no dressing on salad and the hummous was very bland didn't taste of anything. I think they forgot a few ingredients

Excellent place to visit,,friendly staff good service can not fault well worth a visit

Stopped for breakfast at what used to be a very nice cafe. Espresso was barely warm, and when the food order arrived quite some time later, the avocado on toast with poached eggs was dished up on a piece of untoasted bread which was extremely soggy so went uneaten after scraping off the avocado. The other order was scrambled eggs with smoked salmon with a toasted muffin. Either their toaster is broken or the settings need sorting. The scrambled egg portion was very small for the money charged - £12.99! Staff very uninterested in their customers. Will not go back. After this disappointing start we went into Odiham and had a delicious coffee and croissant at The Folly.

Very disappointed. Busy and cramped - with little space for guests to walk between tables. Latte coffee was just full of froth. The only redeeming factor was the chocolate cake which was devine.

Always very happy with helpful and friendly staff.

Fantastic farm shop supporting local farmers and food producers!!

What a delightful experience. Great cafe and shop

Have been passing by this place many times and finally come in and regret not visiting earlier. Lots of onsite parking, indoor and outdoor seats, nice size of farm shop with everything you can expect from a farm shop and more. Have other shops beside the farm shop like a wine shop and a salon. Food was delicious and they were from the farm and local producers.

Great place for a breakfast (which are by the way lush) and there's a very charming farm shop next door. And don't miss out on the posh little wine shop. Still a lovely place the best Sausages in Hampshire. This place is still the best. Although my kids were a little bit mortified when I butcher carried a pig carcus through the shop with half of its head missing.

Lovely selection of food and the butchers are always very helpful.

Visited the farm cafe, not the best experience, staff ticked all the right boxes, however the food wasn’t the best, prawn sandwich- dry bread, tasteless prawn filling. slow cooked lamb- dry and over greasy, needed a bit more flavour perhaps accompanied by a little more sauce.

Great cafe and fabulous produce.

Superb quality of goods. Very knowledgeable and friendly helpful staff

We have known Newlyn for years - from its infancy as a small farm shop. It’s now an huge enterprise with eye watering prices to match. We have used the cafe over the years and dropped In after a prolonged absence and were looking forward to a nice breakfast. What struck us was the exorbitant prices and we opted for a breakfast which gave you the choice of 5 or 8 items starting at c£9. The bacon was vestigial to say the least - no more than a half a slice. The toast (one of the 5 options) was cheap thinly sliced bread which given they sell a variety, seemed excessively parsimonious. We felt moved to express our disappointment and in fairness they deducted the 2 coffees from the bill. The explanation for the tiny piece of bacon was that they rear their own pigs and the rashers do not “match the size of packaged bacon from Tescos”. The service was perfectly ok and whilst busy, we were served within a reasonable waiting time. For £9 it represented extremely poor value. Regrettably we will not return as a detour is no longer worth it!

This place trades on the misconception that it sells better quality produce and serves finer food ~ because it is a farm. As such, it sets exorbitant prices which adds to the illusion of high quality. Don’t get me wrong, the quality is ok - in fact, it’s pretty good. But it should NOT be overpriced. I visited the restaurant today, and the shop - with high hopes and expectations, and was shocked at the prices on the menu. Not just that, but some of the menu ‘rules’ were somewhat silly - 5 items for £8 (Toast is 2 items), or 8 items for £12, or I can’t remember how many items for £16.. just 8 I think.. It didn’t seem to make sense - and you could not just have scrambled egg on toast, because it was 4 items. (2 eggs, 2 pieces of toast). You HAD to pay for 5 items! I do appreciate sustainability and high quality organic produce, but none of the food here is organic - other than the eggs. THAT’S IT..! Yes it may well be produced on the farm, from meat reared here, yes it may be higher quality than you might find on the high street - but why does it have to be so expensive if it’s not organic? I can go to Waitrose and buy British Organic produce for half the price - You can argue that it’s better than organic - but on who’s say so? This is what they will tell you - that it’s better.. But Organic is the ONLY standard by which you can measure high animal welfare, no hormones, no pesticides, no chemicals ~ everything else is just a ‘claim’ which cannot be verified, and an excuse to charge higher prices. That’s a fact. How can your claims be verified - if you only tell people that it’s more or less organic - but it can’t be organic because a stream runs through the farm…? That’s nonsense ~ but this is what their butchers say. The food in the restaurant was average, yes the sausage was ok, but it wasn’t cheap..! The portions were pretty small, the tea was weak and the service was questionable.. when I pay £16 for a breakfast, I expect it to be FULLY organic, I expect the portions to be really generous, I expect the service to be impeccable, and I expect a faultless experience. It is far from faultless ~ in fact, it’s a bit of a rip off, to say the least. Yes it’s clean, yes the shop looks great - but the produce whilst from UK apparently, is not organic. it is just exorbitantly priced - massively over-priced for what it is in fact.. £4.50 for a 220ml glass of orange juice - and it’s not organic! Outrageous! You can fool some of the people, but not all of the time. Improve your offerings, Improve your service, go organic if you want to charge the earth.. But don’t charge high prices for food which is just from Uk and non-organic! You’ll be found out..

Have been here quite a few time to meet friends as the cafe is so close to the M3. The farm shop is lovely and sells great produce. The cafe has a menu with good choices and a great breakfast. Good selection of drinks too. Only criticism is that every time I have been the service has been slow. At least 10 mins to take a drink order and then your food and drink can take a good 20-30 mins to arrive.

I bought a piece of t-bone today and the quality is superb!

Stopped by for breakfast quite early on Sunday while it was relatively quiet. Good food and service. The cafe was getting quite busy by the time we left. The shop has good quality produce.

Cashing in on Mother’s Day yet poor service clearing tables before everyone’s finished

Lovely outdoor area to sit with the dog in the sunshine. The new risotto on the menu was delicious, not to mention beautifully presented!

Popped in for a coffee yesterday morning before going into Farm Shop. Ordered a sausage sandwich, what a let down, one slice of white bread with one sausage, at the princely sum of over £7.00! Grossly overpriced as most of the Breakfast Menu was. Wont be returning.

We were a little disappointed as the breakfast was highly recommended and expensive. Sausage was tasty but wasn't browned enough. Very small amount of baked beans, this didn't bother me but did my partner. Bacon looked like your average supermarket Bacon and was quite small. The mushroom was big and tasty. The tomato was tasteless, and I didn't eat all of it. The eggs were lovely. The toast came already buttered and, therefore, was cold and soggy. Coffee was small, and the cappuccino was lukewarm. It definitely wasn't worth the money we paid.

Amazing venue, superb produce and incredible customer service

OMG, why have I not found this place before. It's fantastic. The produce is all local, and the meat selection is excellent. The cheese room is just fantastic. The produce is a tad expensive, but the quality makes it worth it. And to top it off, it has an excellent coffee shop that also serves hot meals serving their own produce 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great farm shop with interesting local produce. A great bit is the Caviste wine shop. Has unusual (and delicious!) wines from all over the world. The staff know their stuff, and can guide you to wines that you will enjoy - just let them know the sort of wine you like and a guide price, and prepare to be delighted.

Easy accessible, great range of food products. Little pricey but the food is great quality.

Busy cafe. Stopped for brunch as its just off the M3 motorway. Good parking. We were told that there was a 15min wait before our order could be taken, and a wait for food. Food was fair but rather overpriced.

Great place to shop, good food.

Cooked breakfast with a large group, initial drinks order was taken then almost an hour elapsed before the food order was taken. The staff did not know whose order was whose. The food was lovely but the rashers of bacon were actually the smallest, most shrivelled bacon I’ve been served for many years which was a real disappointment given the premium price. Sadly I’m unlikely to return for another breakfast.

Great place to catch up and go for lunch. Staff work very hard and don't stop. They are always understaffed and for operational reasons the morale is low both on the cafe floor and in the cafe kitchen. It wouldn't surprise me if there was a bigger staffing issue as we head through the year both in the farm shop and cafe. It affects the whole place and long standing customers can see the stress and cracks appearing as staff customer service levels start to dwindle and happy chatty staff are no more. Quality of food remains high but waiting times can be a littke longer than normal. Still operating a restricted menu which could do with a mire regular revamp. Cafe price hikes and portion shrinkflation is now evident.

I love this farm shop, such a great selection of meats and cheeses. It's certainly not cheap, but if you're going to spoil yourself or want something special, come here.

The best cooked breakfasts! Lovely atmosphere and have the option to sit outside in the summer too. There’s also a play area outside for children.

Wow what an impressive farm shop and cafe! We had such a tasty lunchtime that we had to go and buy the lovely white loaf and found super fresh veg and other giftable treats galore. Well worth the visit, we will be back!

I've been a customer of Newlyns shop and cafe for over 13 years. The food in both used to be outstanding. However, over the past year or two I've noticed a deterioration in quality. The latest is the shop's frozen raspberry roulade. It was hard to find any trace of raspberries! And the texture of the roulade, just beneath the outer meringue crust, wasn't a proper roulade texture. Disappointing.

Good place for coffee or lunch to meet friends for a chat. Friendly staff and great farm shop.

Drove all the way there because they showed on Google business open, closed!!! learn to update your opening times!!!

Not as good as it was ,very good Produce bit of a let down for £16 breakfast wanted another coffee could get noticed me and my son 42 quid for breakfast

Very nice shop. Lots of individual suppliers, a real butcher and special cheese room. The Spirit Shop outside is amazing...

A great selection of quality food products

Great shop and amazing food at the cafe

Been multiple times in Dec 2023. Excellent staff make you feel welcomed. Removal of booking system made it more difficult to get a table for all. Menu still too small not enough variety and light bites or small plate options would be wrlcome this time of year ie sausage rolls, vegetarian rolls ie feta and spinach and more options ie jacket potaties and scones especially cheese ones. All in all a great place to go as food quality is great and people seem to love it, as do we xx

The people that work here are so nice.

It's a fantastic place to go to get something a little more special.

A little expensive but good stuff

We had a late breakfast here The restaurant was very busy, which I took as a good sign. The service was good. The food was very good value for money. Yes, I would recommend eating here. Next time we visit Hook, we will come here for lunch. Thank you.

Very popular, well worth leaving the motorway for a break than using the service area!

Great shop although I wouldn't use it for my weekly shopping unless I won the lottery! The restaurant was very busy but people were seated quickly, food arrived hot and within a reasonable time and was delicious. We will definitely come again.

Great farm shop with stock showcasing the very best examples of local farm to fork food. Brought yellow-stickered fresh pheasant and my favourite charcoal biscuits on my last visit.

Great food to buy great displays very colourful. We had a lovely lunch good place to come all year round very friendly staff.

Nice food, but don’t be in a hurry!

Quality all the way through the shop. Great cheese selection
