Parlour Cafe in Bath and North East Somerset

Very disappointed. Had Sunday Lunch yesterday with our family. After having one of the best Christmas meals in December anywhere expected the same experience. Unfortunately the beef and lamb were not the best cuts, exasperated by the very poor knives provided, The staff however were excellent. Good service from lovely people.

Lovely place but poor service. Was seated and told they’d take our order before breakfast ended in 10 minutes. Then spent 10 minutes trying to every waiters attention to then be told they’d stopped serving breakfast and didn’t resume serving food again for another 30 minutes … but had been told the table was reserved in an hour meaning we’d have no time to order food if we waited for the food service to resume so had to get up and leave

I recently visited Newton Farm, and while the location is absolutely perfect and the ambiance is inviting, my experience was marred by incredibly poor service. We waited an excruciating 35 minutes for someone to clean our table and bring the cake we had ordered. Throughout that time, several staff members passed by us, completely ignoring our table. It was frustrating to see them actively cleaning tables for other customers while our dirty plates were left untouched. It’s disappointing that such a lovely place has such a glaring issue with service. I expected much better from a venue with such potential. I hope they can address these shortcomings, as it truly detracts from what could be a wonderful dining experience.

This was my first breakfast when I arrived in Bath, excellent food and first class service.

I arrived in my outdoor work clothes for a coffee and cake at about 12.20. I was completely ignored initially. I was then offered a table by the door away from the main café and given a menu, which was fine. However, after sitting for 10 minutes. I was then ignored again by a waitress who walked straight past me and took an order from a table beside me that had just walked in! I therefore walked out and went elsewhere. My first visit and it will be my last. Not impressed.

Really lovely visit to Newton farm today. Seated quickly, staff very accommodating. Ordered a mocha and a flat white with a coffee cake. both drinks had fantastic latte art on top, great stuff :) Then ordered a pulled pork roll, beef sandwhich and a side of chips and all really tasty, fresh ingredients and portion sizes perfect. Great experience, friendly staff, super clean and tidy, shop is also excellent and all the staff were so friendly in there too.

Just been there. I really liked the farm and the cafe staff were lovely but the shop cashier male staff wearing glasses was so rude and blunt. It was my fourth time visiting the farm but would never be going back.

Had a Sunday lunch, veg very hard, roast potatoes really nice, turkey bit too fatty for my taste. My Husband had beef, he said it was absolutely delicious, superb gravy. Staff were amazing, very efficient, really friendly. I would go back, i would have something different.

Always so welcoming and accommodating, especially with having a diary intolerance they were more than happy to adapt their menu to make my meal dairy free and it was delicious. Thank you again for another outstanding meal, couldn’t recommend highly enough

Enjoyed a sunny lunch date with my Mum and devoured this BBQ Pork Belly Flatbread with Pickled Chilli. Such lovely surroundings and a perfect spot if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city in the busy summer months.

Fantastic food! Came here for my birthday today and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals. We had the combi and turkey roast dinners, the best ever! The staff were amazing, attentive, helpful and happy. We had cranberry frangipane for dessert and requested ice cream instead of orange sorbet to go with it, nothing was a problem at all. We also ordered a lamb roast dinner to take away for a family member. Everything was perfect. This will definitely be our new go to, great atmosphere and a refreshing change. Many thanks, Monica and Simon

Lovely home cooked Sunday lunch

Disappointed after years of loving coming here. Brought family and friends after a wedding nearby. The initial drinks order was wrong, we’re not the type to say anything about that but then the breakfasts came out and we had bits missing from the plates and we ordered one veggie breakfast which came out with 2 slabs of bacon on it, no apology. Everyone commented on how strange the sausages were, like some zero fat, dry, crumbly protein sausage- weird, but the majority of the food was otherwise nice. We had a big group of us and asked if we could put the 2 tables near eachother, a lovely staff member said yes so we shuffled the tables which took a matter of seconds, only to have a rude female staff member come up to us when we were all just settling in enjoying all being together and say ‘you can’t do this I don’t have time to move these tables back after you leave so you’ve got to move back’ and scolded the other staff member for letting us- so insanely unprofessional, seemed like she was on such a power trip. They then spilt tea over our family members breakfast on the other table so that had to be replaced. The lovely staff member apologised to my dad on the way out- we had nothing against him but safe to say we won’t be back now. Ruined a lovely place for us to come.

Lovely veggie Sunday roast. Nice to spend time with family. Highly recommend if you're in the area. (No photos as we demolished everything!)

Very tasty food, big portions, very nice cafe environment.

Farm shop small but roast dinner amazing 5/5

We came in to get a bit of shopping and came away with some nice jam ,we also saw the pigs and piglets

Super butcher . Interesting groceries . Cafe is very good although portions are rather large for older folk . Highly recommend this place 😃 .

Nice coffee, well stocked shop !

Sausage and mash for lunch with apple crumble for dessert. Possibly the best Sausage and mash I've had. Watch out for the apple crumble. It was about 1200 degrees Celsius but delicious. Great food and great service. They found us a table very quickly even though we hadn't booked. 10/10

Nice lovely spot, great butcher and present ideas

Went for a full breakfast and it was delicious, the staff were very friendly and lovely , just to top it off we saw the pigs and their piglets , so so cute. Highly recommend

Excellent food and excellent service overall from my experience over the many times I have visited Newton farm. However, something went very wrong with my online booking for today. About one week ago I booked two tables at the restaurant-cafe next to each other for 10 people in total (was my birthday). That was a bit of a special request, so I explicitely wrote down in my online booking that the tables should be near each other, ideally, next to each other if possible. I also called to specify my request a couple of times but nobody picked up the phone. My online booking was confirmed. A few days ago I confirmed the booking online. Today, I called them to just double check all the details and the lady on the phone informed me that they don't have a request for the two tables to be next to each other. I insisted that the requests were explicitly noted in my initial online booking. The lady on the phone said that they don't read the requests section in the online booking system and that I should have called. I did say I tried to call twice and no one picked up. The lady on the phone said that I should have left a voicemail. Sunday lunch service today was poor. Lady in the cafe was lovely. A big disappointment for me, as I do love this place and I was looking forward to celebrating my birthday today. Anyway , all I want to say is that if you have a special request in your booking please make sure you call them and if they don't pick up the phone, you must leave a voice note.....

Very disappointed today. Having visited previously with no problems to be turned away today as we had a new baby in a small pram was unacceptable. 3 empty unreserved tables inside but not room for the 3 adults and new baby, in a small pram. It was far too cold to put a new baby, only born 12 days ago and on his first outing, in the outside seating area. I'm sure if it'd been 3 adults with a wheelchair user we wouldn't have been turned away. Bad form.

Lots of fresh produce good prices. Worth a look around.

Visited this treasure of a place before going to the amazing Bird of Prey Project next door. Coffee came out super fast and all staff were attentive and friendly.

We arrived, were seated straight away. Order taken quickly and our drinks came out a minute after the food. Such quick service and really lovely staff. The food.was lovely - veggie breakfast a bit different and my partner really enjoyed the full English. And there's piglets!

Great farm products and nice people. A proper farm shop!

Love this place! Brilliant selection of food and gifts. The food is delicious. So lovely to see the piglets.

Fantastic Accidental visit, So this isn’t my first visit to the cafe and although always great I’m usually wrestling my toddler so rarely have time to fully enjoy! However having driven straight past my driveway this morning and finding myself turning around in the turning I thought why not grab breakfast! So I opted for the eggs benny and a vanilla latte , the service was professional and polite and the coffee arrived quickly, Then the “benny” arrived which is a take and improvement on the classic eggs Benedict, the presentation was clean, appetising and extremely appealing, the quality of the produce was clear from the very second I cut into the first of two poached eggs the stunning vibrant yolk was a delight the whole meal ate fantastically and left me genuinely considering ordering a second helping, So good was it I rang a friend merely to tell them how happy I was. I have worked as a chef now for 20 years in a vast array of fine dining settings and currently specialise in freelancing and consultancy and cannot explain how happy and contented I was leaving with a happy belly and a smile on my face. Will be back soon.

Incredible value for money! Their meat is absolutely divine and worth every penny. They even sell Bath Buns! We recently decided to have a family breakfast which was tasty, affordable, piping hot and freshly made. The staff are warm, knowledgeable and friendly 🫶 It's become one of our favourite places to shop. Great value for money 💰

Lovely environment with an interesting and varied menu. Great communicative staff. Best to book. Note to staff - check your dishwasher. 2 dirty glasses rejected in the same visit.

We really enjoyed our breakfast this morning. Thank you!

Breakfast was fantastic, as was the coffee. First time here but definitely worth a return visit. Shop and also bird of prey centre UPDATE: multiple times here now, everytime is a fantastic experience. Make sure to book well in advance, this place is very popular for all good reasons

Too many wasps! Fewer wasps today! Nice tea though

Excellent food, good, friendly service. If you are sat outside then there are friendly sparrows as well.

We have been to Newton Farm for food many times and I've always been very pleased with our meals. Unfortunately yesterday when we went for Sunday lunch we had a bad experience. Upon arrival for our 3pm table we were told off by the hostess as we had brought a pram with us. We did state this in the comments when we booked the table online. Apparently we should have booked for an extra person. It was easily resolved as there was a spare table near the entrance that I suggested went on. When we were seated we were given our menus. After a short period we were asked for our drinks orders. But when they came back to get our food order they told us that two of the four meats were not available. Pork and beef were sold out. So the only options we had as meat eaters were chicken and lamb. We asked if we could have chicken with a few slices of lamb but this was impossible. We asked if we could have been notified before we arrived that 50% of the meat they offered had been sold but this was impossible. After choosing our meats from the limited menu, we were then told that half the sides were sold out too. From the moment we arrived we felt unwelcome and our server did not want to help the situation in the slightest. No after no after no. The food came and it was nice but the portions were smaller than we were used too. Maybe order more food to start with. Piss poor planning. Overall very disappointing. Won't be going back after many years of visiting.

After waiting 65minutes for Sunday lunch today, and a diabolical lunch, we were not charged, and won't be returning.

Lovely place to go i went there for cup of coffee that very friendly the subaru texting very well managed very good professional business lovely area beautiful old houses in the area will be going back again

I found this place of a gem by accident whilst in the area via Google maps, I enjoyed a great meal here. The best ploughman's ever. The cheese was by far the best. There is also a great small but nice farm shop here also. It has a great space out door and indoor seating. The food is certainly of great quality here and in my opinion well worth a visit.

Finally dropped in here after having driven past it probably a thousand times over the years and was not dissapointed! A picturesque setting for tea and scrumptious tasting cakes in the courtyard (ample seating indoors and out). Farm shop is stocked with everything you could need in your pantry at reasonable prices, and everything we've made with the haul of meat we offloaded from the butcher has been SO good, richer in flavour than even the best supermarket's offerings. We won't merely be driving past again.

Lovely farm shop and great food

Excellent menu choice and well cooked food. Staff very friendly

We had the most wonderful day at the Open Farm Day today! When we arrived it was very busy but the car parking was super organised with lots of helpers! All three of our children had such fun with lots of fun free activities and some extra ones too like the tractor trailer rides! They didn’t want to go home! Such a fun family day out thank you to all involved! The sausage roll I had for lunch from the little hut was the best Iv ever had! 🤤

Incredible breakfast - always recommend people go here

Great selection of local products, meat from their farm and fresh vegetables

Good food but pricey! No cheaper-end sandwiches etc. Also cafe closes at 4pm although shop not until 5pm. Go figure! Why do so many places in England close so early? You've got tourists looking to spend their cash... Had same experience in Bradford on Avon! People wanderinc about dedpeeately looking gor somewhere open padt four in the afternoon😂😂😂.

Popular café restaurant with farm shop. Lots of outdoor tables. Nice selection of food.

Fantastic farm shop in Newton-st-loe. Great cafe serving amazing food , their sausage rolls are to die for . The staff are very friendly with great service, with amazing views.

Really nice food and a lovely place

Lovely cream tea! Pleasant staff , the breakfast is a definite must 👌

We were on holiday nearby and called in twice, Once for tea and cake, very nice and the second was on the day we left to go home. Breakfast was superb

Visited today for the 1st time. Had a beautiful breakfast will be returning 😋

Amazing roast dinner today, the portions were huge with lots of veg & allll the trimmings. Can’t wait to visit again :)

I’ve been going every week for many years with family and friends, to Newton Saint Loe Cafe, but last Saturday I was extremely disappointed. I asked for a Greek salad and what I was given looked like it leftovers from other peoples plates and definitely was not made fresh that day the tomatoes were really old slimy and tasteless The whole meal just look completely off putting,I couldn’t eat it and when I complained I was still charged for it 🤢

Lovely peaceful village and cafe Excellent butchery and deli.

Love this place, plenty of parking, great choice of food, we had breakfast served by friendly staff, lovely little play area for children with toy tractors and dog friendly. Lovely farm shop selling meat and unusual drinks, sauces etc and gift shop selling toys and games and unusual gifts,

Called in for lunch on our way to Bath. All staff were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, the newton farm burger cooked to perfection and the pulled pork bowl with beautiful fat chunky chips was as good. We were even given a box to take home what we couldn’t manage to finish. The little shop was delightful, we bought some reduced rolls (which were as fresh 2 days later) and some very tasty strawberries. Would certainly recommend calling in if you are in the area.

Newton Farm Cafe and Restaurant Bath UK. It’s very popular place even far from town. I've been here many times after walking through the beautiful landscape of Bath Spa University at Newton Park campus. We always had lovely meals and a lovely time here at Newton Farm cafe/ restaurant. Organic ingredients from their farm. Beautiful location, delicious food and a proper coffee. Excellent friendly service from everyone members. I love this place and highly recommend it to everyone! See you again soon.

Lovely breakfast & great atmosphere, friendly staff .

Lovely food. Nice shop too if a little small at the detriment to the range of goods on offer. Animals are pleasant to see and the bird sanctuary is ace for the smalls.

We been here for breakfast on 5th June around 9am it’s beautiful place but our waitress was soo not accommodating and not happy that really put me off I ordered pancakes and asked her if I can swop maple syrup instead of honey she straight away said No also she didn’t even mentioned that honey they don’t give on side they pour all over on it and when I addressed this one of her colleague he said oh we add as it extra cost but even if then I was happy but again she failed to explain that

Wonderful place to visit for lunch. Lovely cream tea and very good children's meals.

After seeing the cute piglets I promised myself I wouldn't eat pork but I must say the pulled pork roll was delicious as was the bakewell cake.

Amazing Sunday lunch! I never liked roast pork until I had the belly pork here. The portions are a really decent size. Will definitely go back!

I went for the first time last week. I had pouched eggs on toast. It was the cheapest bread with literally 2 eggs. Nothing else. Very basic. Cup of tea was nice. I went in to the farm shop and it was small. I bought nothing. Everything said '40 miles from our farm'! I wouldn't go back. Amazing to see the pigs however.

Nice selection of fresh farm goods. A little on the pricey side, but great for urgent needs

Great food, good value-for-money. Friendly staff, slightly overworked. A must-visit on a sunny day.

Great food and lovely place. I recommend it

After a long walk, it was lovely to come across this beautiful farmshop and cafe. Although we only had an oat milk chai latte the food menu looked great. Lots of local produce. We'll definitely try out the lunch menu. Lots of nice options for breakfast or brunch. All the staff were smart and well mannered and obviously enjoyed working in a lovely local family business.

I’ve moved to the area just over 2 years ago and me and my family have absolutely loved it specially all the local produces from the local farm. Saturday was our 6th visit here. I have young children 2 and 6 and they absolutely love it with the animals and play area! However this Saturday was extremely disappointing with the customer service! In particular and I was angry with the way a member of staff had behaved with my children and my friend’s child! Shouting at them rudely for no reason when clearly there was an adult with them who she could have speak to nicely! Children learn behaviour from adults around their surroundings! Clearly if she doesn’t like children she should not be doing this job. I have never had this kind of interaction with anyone before specially at Newton Farm and cafe as it’s such a child friendly place. I have also noticed other comments about this behaviour and one even said apparently it’s the manager! And if it is I am absolutely appalled!

NEVER TAKE YOUR CHILDREN HERE !!!! We’ve never experienced someone so rude in the service industry, the server shouted at our child for standing up and also about the position of our pram even tho the tables around us where completely empty ( not surprised ) but what shocked us most was when we brought this up when paying the bill we where told it was the MANAGER, and they get complaints about her all the time. The staff member we spoke to said she was embarrassed by the amount of complaints they get and how she is rude to her staff also. She is a power hungry individual who is completely inadequate as a manager and I can see why her staff where quick to bad mouth her. I wouldn’t come back to this place if she paid me. And I will be letting everyone else in know how awful this place is. If this was my business i would get rid of her immediately as she has already lost 8 customers this week who will never return.

Amazing place. Lovely Breakfast and great coffee, staff are really friendly. Farm shop is brilliant so many delicious things to temp you. Can't wait to come back again

Had a nice meal here I had baked cod my husband had roast beef. Very generous potions and very tasty , staff were friendly, just the older man needs to smile !! But overall very good

Five stars for before Christmas visit for lunch. Food was good, Service top quality. But four stars for return post Christmas where prices appear hiked. Visited again in Spring, Coffee average, if I'm paying a premium price would have expected better. Easy to park, although can be muddy if wet, Excellent farm shop with own butchers. Cute piglets.

The food has been dumbed-down and overpriced to the point where it's no longer worth eating here. The menus are very limited, and service is generally appalling. The owners have clearly succumbed to greed as they have destroyed the views in an attempt to fit more people in, and are employing miserable, untrained staff. Ten years ago it was fantastic - especially the doorstep sandwiches. There are far better options locally now, like Flourish and Kelston Soft Cheese - where portions are generous, reasonably-priced and created with finesse.

A lovely lunch in a lovely setting! Service was friendly and prompt...and there were piglets in the farm garden area. I've already recommended to friends :-)

A lovely lunch in pleasant surroundings. Good selection on menu that has plenty of choice and variety, but didn't seem overloaded. Excellent food, although might have expected larger portions. Wasn't too impressed with the treacle tart which was very dry and untreacly, came with the tiniest dab of cream and dusting of something said to be honeycomb. Great atmosphere and clean, homely eating space. Would love to go again. Shop also had plenty of variety, from gifts to basic (and exclusive) cooking ingredients. The perfect place to visit from Bath Spa University too!

Amazing food and lovely atmosphere, however drinks are quite overpriced for what they are and after finishing our meals we waited for 30 minutes and our plates were never cleared despite other tables plates being cleared around us. Items in the farm shop were also suspicious as some food items still had christmas themed packaging

Fantastic Farm Shop with wonderful products. Farm animals to view. Ample parking. We had Sunday lunch there today (3rd March). The staff are warm and welcoming. The food is delicious, piping hot and plentiful. Service was excellent. We saw quite a few people choosing the Burger, which looked great. We highly recommend that you visit and have a meal here.

We had Sunday breakfast first class you need to book and Sunday dinner brill go and have a look

Overall a nice experience but a few niggles. 1•drinks-asked for latte but got a cappuccino. Man did offer to change but said the only difference was that cappuccino had chocolate. Obviously he doesn’t know his coffee. I kept the latte and it was nice. 2•the food-one meal was excellent (the belly pork flat bread yummy) & the chips were fat and crispy if a little expensive but the rarebit was dreadful. Soggy bread and undercooked cheese. I should’ve complained at the time but as no one came around in the time we were there and the attitude of the man who delivered the coffees made me think Nothing would come of it if I did. Overall I would come again and have the flat bread but definitely not the cheese rarebit

Today I met up with a friend I hadn't seen in a while, along with her toddler. Unfortunately, our experience at the cafe was less than satisfactory. It took a total of 1.5 hours from the moment we arrived for us to receive our food, which felt even longer with a 2-year-old in a high-chair. The service lacked check-backs, offers for additional drinks and table clearing. Additionally, the quality of the food was very average. When I mentioned my dislike for coriander and parsley to the waitress during the order, she dismissed it, stating that she was only asking about allergies. This made me feel like my dislikes didn't matter unless they were allergies. Overall, the poor service significantly dampened what should have been a pleasant catch-up with my friend.

Went for Sunday roast. Food was bad and barely luke warm. General managers reaction to our complaints came across as he didn’t care.

Best farm shop in Bath without a doubt

Excellent food, reasonably priced and good service

Sunday Lunch Wow, stuffed, amazing, great value for money. All the meats were cooked to perfection and plentiful. Vegetables also in good portions. Separate pot of gravy is a big bonus. I had the beef and pork combo and it nearly beat me. Great staff, always a warm welcome.

Very disappointing expensive experience!! Surly waitress, everything seemed an effort. Food cold and tasteless, the lentil and veg stew was disgusting plate of sludge served with two anaemic "toasted" slices of bread, soup was not very appetising either. Will I be revisiting, doubt it very much ...overpriced sub standard food.

very lovely experience, staff so helpful amazing food too

I just about got a table but the soup was lovely. Great little farm with a few things to see. Really nice shop too.

Food is excellent. Visiting in a few weeks for a Sunday lunch.

Came for lunch. Good service good food..all home made

A very good Sunday lunch - ample servings and very nicely presented. The vegetables, gravy and Yorkshire pudding were great. We'll definitely come back to try the other menu items - be sure to book in advance.

This must have been one of the best roast lunches we've had at a restaurant. Everything was delicious and the service impeccable. It's also good value compared to other places, with many of the ingredients sourced locally. Thank you to the team :).

Fabulous all around - 100% recommend - good range of products, lovely staff, great food

Nice food and atmosphere. Often busy & a bit overpriced.

Loved it. Quintessentially English!

Popped in with a £30 gift card. I was warned it was pricey but if you've got a gift card then it's all free really! We managed to get quite a few things to make Christmas dinner a bit more special this year including posh cranberry sauce and some very nice cider. The lady who served us was very welcoming and helpful

Went to see father Christmas, atmosphere was great with a live guitarist, hoping to see the falconry in the future. Lovely, small, local farm with animals too and a farm shop.

Excellent breakfast bit expensive but worth it
