Riverside Organic Farm Cafe in Cheshire West and Chester

While the teenage staff might try hard, they know nothing about food, nor customer service. I opted for an 'ice-cream' milkshake, chose a flavour, then watched from a distance how a small scoop of ice-cream became blended with a pint of milk, producing a watery sweet drink that comes no-where close!! For £5.50 please tell your young staff that a proper milkshake should support the straw vertically in the middle of your glass!! I also had a bacon/brie Panini... which was about as tasty as the napkin. My short conversation with the kitchen staff was met by a quizzical look... as if I was speaking German. What needs to happen to get tasty well-prepared food in this country, with bright confident staff delivering great customer service!!!

Myself and another fellow childminder arrived here last Tuesday. We often come to this farm with the children we mind. They enjoy seeing the animals and having a play. We will always buy ourselves a coffee from the cafe and sometimes we’ll buy the children toast and a bacon bap each for ourselves. On this particular day, we’d arrived at the farm and after looking at the animals, we took the children into the enclosed play area for them to play and with the intentions of buying a couple of coffees. We’d not been sat there long when we were approached by an older man in a blue boiler suit. He asked if we were buying something, to which we replied “Yes”. He carried on mumbling about it being a bargain and how unfair it was that we were using their business for our business. We both felt very intimidated by this man, who had no intention of walking away, but instead he stood there arguing with us and accusing us of not spending money at the farm, making us feel extremely uncomfortable. Apart from us, there was one other lady sat at another table who was watching her son play. So it wasn’t even busy? In the end we said we’d leave because we obviously weren’t welcome. He told us to “Do that”!! We definitely won’t be going back here!! And we definitely won’t be recommending it again to anyone!! What ever happened to small businesses supporting small businesses?? We would always tell the parents of the children we looked after about Riverside Organic, saying it was a lovely place to visit for both children and adults!!! Well now none of the parents will be coming here again after they heard how we were treated!!!

Dangerous Male intimidating Women and children! The farther of the owner approached my wife and her friend to complain that they hadn't purchased anything yet and were using the Free play area! My wife explained that they were planning to use the cafe. The male continued to intimidate my wife and her friend and refused to leave there personal space when asked to do so. would think twice visiting this farm and plan to take this further, aggression towards anyone is unacceptable but for a Male to display such aggression towards women and children is disgusting. The Owner should take immediate action towards his farther as he has a duty of care for his customers.

Needs improving! We are local to the farm and it's a shame to see it isn't being maintained. Both times like others have mentioned have been disappointing. Its been nearly 6 months since our last visit and still there's broken tractor toys left out. Toys need sorting and throwing if not fit for purpose. My 22month old son even commented today how dirty the chairs were in the little outdoor playhouse. No grass for the guinea pigs. We have been twice now for the advertised 'tractor ride' yes no timings are ever listed. Today we arrived at 9am the tractor wasn't till 11 by this time we'd left as not alot to do and forecast rain. Need more staff on the till in the cafe as long queues. Expensive breakfast for what it is. Also carparking needs to be looked at ie gravel placed down instead of mud track field.

Had many visit’s here but have to say this visit was rather disappointing! Lovely breakfast the egg was burnt so we have to eat with wooden knives and forks now which was quite impossible try to cut through thick bacon. What I found rather distressing was the condition of the chickens and Guinea pig areas. Poor things had no food or grass to nibble, I was horrified to see their filthy drinking water containers covered in green algae.

Hadn't been for a few years and was disappointed. The food was ok but it was like a takeaway. Everything in paper or cardboard boxes. The last time I visited it was a lovely place with proper crockery and cutlery. Will not be going again.

Called in today for the first time. Beautiful views, lovely play area, friendly staff and funniest animals! Loved the sheep running up and down, calling out to the other animals. Will certainly bring family and friends to visit.

Waited 15/20 mins for 2 coffees, toilets needed some attention. Older lady very rude to customers and children. Would not recommend or be returning. Shame as it is very close to where we live

Love visiting this business situated with one of the most beautiful backdrops in the Northwich area with stunning views! The food and beverage is fresh and homemade,value for money! Dog friendly children love the animals and play area, great credit to the owners and the customers who get to enjoy your beverages in tranquility over looking beautiful Vale Royal countryside!!!

The location is fabulous and the childrens play area is a great safe space. Coffee was poor quality and wait time of half an hour was ridiculous for a brew! Food is overpriced over 5 pounds for two slice of bacon on a brioche roll. Top it off, bringing out cakes clearly bought from Costco and then fitting it to the farm shop narrative is galling. There are some home made cakes there but may be worth asking which is which first!

Had the best breakfast here this morning. Everything was perfect. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Couldn’t recommend this place enough.

don’t normally write reviews but worse place for breakfast. Everything was cold apart from the egg and hash brown which were like warm. Definitely won’t visit again or recommend to anyone

Sorry I don't normally leave reviews but I feel I have to on this occasion, I decided to take my daughter and granddaughter for lunch but was very disappointed to say the least, the burger was thrown together and the chips /wedges where soaked In fat and burnt so there was no potato left inside, I took them back and was looked at like it was not allowed to complain so we walked out will Not ever recommend this place as it was awful, also the burger was not worth £8.50 did not warrant that amount of money 😠

Food is basic and lacks flavour, greasy and over priced. One slice of bacon cut into strips in a panini. Staff are unfriendly and need some training in customer service.

Lovely staff, the food great, you can buy fresh fruit and veg, fresh or frozen meat which is excellent jams and preservesThere is a petting zoo for the little ones. Great view over the countryside. Will be going back for breakfast.

We used to love going here for a hot chocolate while out with our dog. We liked sitting outside admiring the amazing views. Since lockdown, they have changed it all, unfortunately NOT for the better. The first time, our chunky chips were so full of grease, we sent them back, they couldn't explain why. I spoke to the manager, he offered a refund, I declined, he was missing the point of poor quality/service, it took over 20 minutes to get our order. We thought we would give it another chance, today. We had hot chocolate, the first one, wasn't even luke warm, the second was slightly better but no where near as nice as it used to be before lockdown. Such a shame but we won't be going back or recommending it to anyone. I get the feeling the staff are not trained & are given inadequate/sub standard resources to use.

We thought we were in for a treat within such a beautiful setting and location. With only a small appetite we ordered the Chips served on a brioche but we asked for it on bread because being brought up in Manchester with the best chips and chip barms for miles, we didn't think a brioche would be suitable. When they arrived and opening the box, to our dismay they were served on a Brioche. So we alerted the member of staff and she said she will deal with it and then said she would get some bread and butter brought out to us. When it arrived my Daughter stopped it from being put on the table as the bread had green mould on all the slices. The member of staff apologised with a dismissive air and then brought another plate with more bread. It clearly was not fresh bread and possibly came out of the same loaf with the mould on it, so we decided to just eat the chips. They were more like potato wedges and would not pass for being described as chips !! Disgusting food, unhelpful staff made the whole experience miserable. We definitely will not darken it's door again. Don't waste your money. It is worse that the one star rating I have given it but the review could not be posted without giving it a star rating.

Lovely food in a great location with lots of okay areas and small animals for the children. I can recommend the cheesecake (yummy!) and also the bacon brioche buns. Lovely friendly staff too. Well worth a visit if you are in the area or looking for something to do with little ones.

Beautiful countryside setting for this delightful hidden gem of a place. We came today for lunch and we’re seated in a gazebo type area with transparent plastic sides which let us sit in the sun without feeling the chilly February breeze. Nicely planned ! We loved the organic shop, which stocks a nice range of products. The food was served in takeaway style, with disposable cups and wrappings. This made it easy for us to clear away after ourselves and I think is a very sensible way of doing things in view of the current pandemic. I had a lovely bacon, Brie and cranberry panini, and my daughter had a very generously proportioned vegetarian breakfast bap, crammed full of delicious goodies and mum had lovely vegetable soup with nice fresh cheese and tomato sandwich. Food was reasonably priced and nice and fresh. Nice tea too! I had a very fragrant Earl grey that was a higher standard than most. A pager type device alerts you to when your food is ready to collect from the hatch, and service was very prompt indeed. A delightful first visit. Next time I would like to try the delicious looking cakes and if it ever gets warm enough, the fabulous looking ice creams! Wonderful place for kiddies, with play area and various animals to see.

Set within a lovely setting . Cafe was lovely amazing homemade cake "Victoria sponge" yummy. Coffee was amazing spot on for a latte. Outside seating with sheep, chickens, ginuea pigs and my favourite the donkey. Really worth a visit nice little farm shop as well.

Called in for a coffee, when out walking with my dog! Dogs are welcome in the front outside of the shop where you can go in and place your order! Once the order is placed you have to walk around the back to collect your order! However it says on the gate no dogs! I found a lovely member of staff who I had to ask to bring my order around to the front! Didn’t feel comfortable leaving my dog out of sight, to collect my food, with all the dog theft going on at the moment! Wouldn’t be a problem if I wasn’t on my own, just thought it was a bit weird!

A lovely “hidden gem” in the countryside. Great for lunch, fresh air and something for the kids to do and see. We had Yummy ice cream and a Babycinno for the kids. Especially great for families with young children and toddlers.

Location amazing, views across the fields whilst sat at the table with a coffee are beautiful. Small farm shop with products for sale and some fresh vegetables. Ice-cream and menu offered. There play toys and seating in the back courtyard area which is enclosed. Great...

What a little gem, hidden in the beautiful Cheshire countryside, there is a great variety of animals to pet, brilliant stop off on your bike ride or walk. The staff cannot do enough and always with a smile. WARNING: Do not leave without trying Rosie's...

My first time here went for a bike ride and was recommended to try this cafe .Lovely surroundings great view from the outside tables of the local countryside.Just purchased a coffee and a hot tea cake and they were really nice.They have a shop selling...

A working farm with a really lovely shop. Lovely views and a great place to enjoy an ice cream. The farm shop has some very interesting foods and of course there's always the superb organic meats etc. Highly recommended.

oh my what a beautiful place and the food was fresh and tasty and definatley worth the few extra pennies

I came here today with my baby,mum and friend. I hadnt heard of the farm until the other day. I can honestly say I enjoyed my visit. the food was outstanding and attention to detail on the plate was spot on. I had a small...

The homemade burger and chips here do not disappoint. We had the beetroot and the beef burger which were both excellent. Its a lovely little cafe in a lovely setting. I highly recommend it

Excellent selection of breakfasts including veggie. Good quality food and nice quick service from friendly staff.

I went to Riverside Organic and found portions of my sandwich bread to be contaminated with mould and also the "cold" meat was warm, suggesting to me that it was left at room temperature. I decided to leave the sandwich after attempting to report it...

bought all my food from there beautiful proper food and a nice cafe to chat and relax in beautiful setting to sit outside

Cold and scruffy, awful service from rude and abrupt staff who more bothered about making themselves a brew than dealing with the customers and to top it off the breakfasts we had were dreadful. Greasy mess!! Won’t be back, there’s clearly a reason it was empty when we there.

It says it all in the photograph - also great coffee and delicious home-made cakes in this freindly family-run farm cafe with crafts in the barns, plus farm animals for the kids to feed too!

My friends and I with our kids booked a table for lunch - we are all passionate about eating/dining/shopping organic so this seemed like the perfect place to visit! It's a lovely place, smaller than I imagined but it had a good atmosphere and our...

Went for food in the cafe with two toddlers. £3.95 for a children’s “plate” which when it came out included 2 jam sandwiches, 4 Pom bears, some dry carrot sticks and 3 pieces of dry cucumber...no drink included so this was £1.50 extra. £3.95 for...

Came back after first visiting during the open farm day which was brilliant! This time we came for an alfresco brunch and it was spot on! We sat on the benches opposite the entrance basking in the late morning sunshine, whilst feeding the baby lamb. Drinks and brunch arrived quickly and everyone enjoyed their fill. The poached eggs and mushrooms on sourdough toast was perfect, the small English breakfast went down well, and my wife enjoyed the sausage and chutney sandwich with salad. The farm shop was great too, as we bought a few afternoon tea goodies before leaving which again we're delicious. Did I mention the view? Just beautiful? Highly recommended.

Arrived circa 1:30 on a Friday. Plenty of parking. Food ordered from counter. Very pleasant staff.

Fabulous country location with wonderful views. Animals were so tame....a haven for children. Wonderful food with superb service.

Great cup of coffee Great location Be good for kids as lots of farm animals to see. Helpful staff Will be back

My husband and I visited the farm cafe for lunch yesterday. It was sunny, and the views of the Dane Valley were breathtaking. Although busy, there was plenty of parking in the field opposite. We ate in the lovely courtyard. Service was quick. We are both vegetarians so were delighted to have so much choice on the menu. Beetroot wrap with feta cheese and spinach, and beetroot falafel with halloumi flatbread, with a side order of sweet potato fries. Both reasonably priced. It was absolutely delicious. We then took a walk around the grounds to see the animals.

I took my children today to the baby animal feeding morning. We had SUCH a lovely time. Rosie who took the group round the farm was very sweet explaining all sorts to the children and making sure that everyone had lots of turns feeding and petting each of the animals.

Its always nice place to visit, and have ice cream, and drink. Its always nice drive, and place to go and visit.

We were made very welcome and our dog too! Lovely food and freshly prepared for us and served with a genuine smile. Thank you. One disappointment was they had sold out of Bakewell Flapjack!!

Actually we came here for a bacon sandwich and a coffee, possibly the best sandwich we have ever had. Beautiful views of the river Dane, highly recommended. Great service and value.

Came hear as we had to attend a family event nearby later, popped in for brunch. I had the full English, very nice. My wife had a sandwich- oh dear. The salad IN the sandwich was gritty and dirty as was the garnish on the side. I took the plate inside, A member of the kitchen staff and a slightly older lady greeted me. Oh dear that's not good, we will look into it-- was the response. I went back outside and sat with my wife. We took our time finishing our drinks and it became clear that there was to be NO actual apology, NO partial refund. If I had not ALREADY paid, I would probably have been treated better. NOT HAPPY

Called in here whilst out on a bike ride. I’d heard on the grapevine it was worth a visit and the grapevine was right. The staff were very pleasant, the breakfast and coffee very very good and the views across to Davenham quite glorious. I dined outside as the weather was more than kind and I’ll definitely go back for more.

Lovely setting, great food (burgers, panini and chips all fantastic). The chocolate brownie ice cream was great

having passed the sign for this Farm for approx 4 years finally decided to turn off the road to have a look being Half Term... well a real Gem was found... what a place to sit and enjoy a lovely Coffee... amazing views of the Countryside... truly relaxing...

Overlooking the Dane Valley and the village of Davenham you can relax and enjoy local produce from their light menu. They do a wonderful all day breakfast which always temps me or they have scrummy cakes and lashings of tea and coffee.

I had seen the sign for the farm shop and cafe and today decided to call in with my little boy and see what it was like. So glad we did, the food was really good, i had the home made soup with hot bread (which my son happily finished for me) despite eating all of his own lunch. Was made to feel very welcome and there were toys and colouring too. We will definitely be going back!

We found this place almost by accident, and what a find! Read the reviews and a couple of them had said it was expensive, ignore these! My friend and I both had the full English breakfasts, which are priced at £7.95. All the ingredients are fresh and organic (and you can tell!). So for that price, I thought it was brilliant! You walk through a little shop to get to tables, everything is really ‘country’/rustic which I loved. You order at the till (or we did) and everything is brought over to you. It’s quiet in the nicest way, really peaceful. We went just as it opened so I imagine it gets much busier later in the day. We also didn’t do anything but eat so can’t comment on animals or other things to do. Really would recommend this cafe for breakfast; great tasting, fresh, organic food that is reasonably priced. Excellent. Already told family who live in the area to visit - hope to be back in the future to try other things on offer.

Took my two young grandsons for a ride on the Tractor Ride with Santa the look on my little grandsons face was priceless thank you so much for a lovely memory

Went for ice cream. Ended having a full breakfast a little expensive but all quality food kids had a bap loads of bacon on .few animals to feed lovely views craft centre where children painted some bugs they really enjoyed themselves 4 for £10 reasonable will definitely visit again

driving from Manchester to Bournemouth, the M6 was closed in front of us as we got on at Warrington. Sent on numerous diversions and eventually traffic every where ground to a halt. After being on the road for 3 hours we were desparate for facilities and saw a sign for this farm cafe. Made our way and kindly owners let us use facilites and in return we bought food and drink for the rest of the journey. Chocolate chip fudge cake delicious. Journey eventually took us 10 hours but we were extremely grateful to owners for their kindness.

Not sure if I should put this on to tell the world but it so deserves it. The staff, the food, the location oh my are just fab! Whilst this is the place you want to keep for yourself, as you don't want crowds spooling it, the team there really deserve recognition. It is great for families with small children as they have the animal path where children can feed the animals, they have the craft rooms, amazing! Then the cafe for all with a great menu at good prices, best bit, the location, I could sit forever in the peace and tranquil setting, just amazing!

Had a lovely breakfast in the middle of Whatcroft. Haven't been up here for almost 30 years when we were kids and we would go scrumping at the farm on the crossroads. Had a lovely breakfast after we had seen the pigs, goats, chickens, Guinea pigs and sheep. Don't be expecting Chester zoo but it's a lovely place to visit with a lovely cafe. There's also a very nice little place where kids can paint on pottery at very reasonable prices. Don't forget an ice cream before you leave.

Mi amigo y yo visitamos recientemente haber oído sobre el lugar de amigos que han visitado con sus hijos.

Zona de juegos para los niños bien. Animales de golpe una gran idea. El café es muy bonito y acogedor. Mi desayuno encantador. Mi curry tailandés de preciosa. Visitamos varias veces y me encanta especialmente ahora está en mi puerta. Pronto volveremos de nuevo en un día agradable para sentarse y disfrutar de mi café. Vale la pena una visita. El chico joven que nos era muy servicial y agradable.

Dios mío nunca supe que este lugar existía. Animales de granja, cafetería y personal y hermosas vistas. Vale la pena una visita.

As a soon to be new resident of Northwich my mother and I decided to visit the Riverside Organic Farm Cafe to find a cafe that I would never tire of. This place is just that. Even on a rainy day the little piglets, lambs, goats and little calf were lovely to see. The cafe and farm shop were delightful. Although service was a little slow, we didn't mind because the cafe was busy which is something we assumed was a good sign that our food would be delicious. It absolutely was and now that I know they have all day breakfasts we shall definitely be returning!

We visited to buy some meat and veg (we have been using The Hollies)Shop is tiny and was a real disappointment but stock they did have proved to be good quality. I will use the Hollies going forward though as it's a much better shopping experience.We also purchased an ice cream which was delicious and look forward to trying the cafe soon.

I have only been here for coffee and ice cream as usually just come during our lunch hour from work. The cappuccino is the best around and the cherry ice cream ( can't remember exactly what it was called) was amazing and my friend had the carrot cake ice cream. O a lovely day a great place to sit outside and admire the Cheshure country side. Loads to do and very popular with mums and toddlers.

Lovely café - great value for money and lovely staff. Great place for children with animals and play areas and children's menu. Beautiful surroundings with plenty of countryside to explore. Off the beaten track but well worth a visit (plenty of parking)

A very pleasant cafe and farm shop.Lovely play atea for children and animals to look at. Organic food home produced, A good selection of food available from the menu.

I have visited three times now and each time I am struck anew by what a gorgeous spot it is. I am local and the views of the surrounding countryside make me appreciate where I live all over again.There was more for my little one to do last year than this year, he has slightly outgrown the toddler play area now, and isn't really any older play area except for one slide, and there are also less animals there for him to look at (although I understand a fox has had a hand in this), so he did get slightly bored after being there for about an hour and talking to the Guinea pigs and chickens.The organic shop is great, we've only ever had ice creams and tea and cake in the cafe, not full meals, so can't really comment on the food, but it is a brilliant spot to buy an ice cream and sit outside looking at the view.

The views are amazing, the welcome and service in the shop/cafe very good even thought the two young ladies were very busy. The tea, carrot cake and ice cream were very good. There are lots of things for toddlers to play on but not enough for 4 years or older, just one slide - very disappointing. The farm trail looked good but as it was a hot day, yes hot in April, our 4year old didn't fancy going for a walk. Another disappointing thing were the toilets - one wet on the floor, one dirty seat and one door would not shut properly. I don't think they had been cleaned for quite a while. To end on a positive note the shop produce looked good and reasonably priced.

The food was excellent and the staff (two young ladies) were very friendly and attentive. However, our only criticism is that we were a little disappointed to find that you are not a dog friendly cafe! This is surprising especially as you market yourself as a farm shop cafe - the majority of which today are welcoming to dog owners. People only tend to take their dogs to cafes or pubs if they are good around people and well behaved. This won't necessarily put us off from returning again, but it would be beneficial for the owners of this delightful business to consider allowing dogs. Nevertheless, your staff and products are great :) Keep doing what you're doing. It is lovely to see businesses like this thriving!

Having just eaten THE most fabulous cheese burger... nothing left of it to photo!!!!! The Organic, grass fed Aberdeen Angus beef burger on a lightly toasted brioche roll served on a bed of lettuce & tomato is topped with a really tasty mature cheddar cheese.I also had tomato ketchup... soooo tasty... just like home made. I bought a squeeze bottle of it to take home. Yum!!! Apparently you can also use the place as a base to go on walks. Children can have parties here and there are other country pursuits available. We just drove here as we were on our way back to Chester on a day out. It's a bit off the main road but WELL WORTH a visit.Well done folks.!!! Good job!!

A look on the internet while were in the area found this cafe. Quite a bustling place down a country lane for coffee and generous size scones. Seems to be a popular place for local police to have their tea break as there were quite a few there the day we called in.

Called in for a quick lunch and we were delighted with the freshly cooked food that we were given. The lamb pannini was exceptionally good, plenty of lamb and perfectly cooked. The accompanying salad was substantial and attractive. Very glad we only live a short distance away - already planning our next visit.

We are lucky that this gem of a place is just down the road from where we live. It's a lovely place to visit and as it sells organic fruit, meat and veg you can not only eat the products they sell in the cafe but buy in the farm shop to recreate those meals at home. The food is absolutely delicious, the lamb burgers and paninis are truly gorgeous! We've bought our Xmas tree the last couple of years and had their free range goose for Christmas dinner!The reason why I have not given 5 stars is because it lacks organisation and the staff albeit friendly don't really understand about customer service. Today there were no menus on the table, nobody came to serve us so my partner had to go into the shop to get assistance. We both wanted paninis but they didn't have any in and didn't suggest an alternative in fact gave off the impression that they didn't care whether we ate there or not! It does appear quite chaotic sometimes, a bit like the blind leading the blind and I really think with the right training and direction this little gem could be truly amazing!

I have visited 3 times so far and have a had a good experience each time. Have had coffee, scones and a lunch. Food is very good and reasonably priced

Didn't realise that this place even existed. We spotted a sign as my Dad and I were out for a drive in the country. It's in a great location with fantastic views and the interior decor of the cafe has been done very tastefully keeping the character of the original building, yet promoting clean lines and a fresh look. A real shame about the coffee though, it was like tar, way too strong and really tasted like it had been in the pot since breakfast resulting in it being virtually undrinkable.

Allways visit here have a coffee and cake do my shopping this is how food should taste and support you local farmers

My wife an myself really like it here! We live local and is only a short drive for us. The Cafe really is in the middle of the countryside with beautiful views from the outside area. Inside is small but has a lovely relaxed feel. The food is good and reasonably priced, and a lot of the relishes etc. served with the food are available to purchase in the well stocked shop, so you can literally try before you buy!Everytime we go they seem to be making improvements, they have an outdoor area to the back now, so people can get out of the wind, if need be.Great to see a family run business do well, and we even get our Chrsitmas tree from here now too as the prices are good! Perfect!

Before my visit today I had only ever had an ice cream here which I must say is well worth the visit to sit outside on a sunny day overlooking the beautiful Cheshire countryside.Today I had the All Day Breakfast with some of the best sausages ive ever tasted, presentation of the breakfast excellent and great value for the money.Not forgetting to mention the relaxed atmosphere with lovely friendly staff !

Called in today for the first time with our Grandson. He loved being close up to the animals. Lots of space to run around. Coffees and Chocolate brownies excellent. Very friendly staff. Will definitely visit again..... thank you

Very nice lunch, lovely place. We had burgers and a bacon sandwich with a side order of hand cut chips. Drinks were a bit expensive, but food was good quality and worth it.

Riverside Organics is ever evolving!. They have recently renovated the shop and introduced a beautiful cafe with courtyard seating when the sun shines or plush seating indoors for the coming colder months when crusty bread and soup or bacon butties are order of the day.They have an extensive menu of local produce on offer so give it a try.There is also a secure children's play area and facilities to feed small animals which the children enjoy. And for mum, dad, gamp's and Granny a nice cup of tea and cake whilst taking in one of the best views in Cheshire.Disability Notice: due to cobbles on this old farm yard it may be difficult using a wheelchair and you need to ask for the level access door to be unlocked.

Went for breakfast and sat outside on the grass area with our dog! The breakfast was lovely.... Cooked fresh and service was quick! This place was a good find and we will certainly go again! Excellent for young children with a small play area!! This place does children's parties in a separate barn too.

We went with our 4 year old grandson and would have had an even better time if it hadn't been raining. There is lots to do, see and play with, but after getting soaking wet going down the slide, we had to try and entice grandson back indoors again.The food is good but fairly basic. We had a child's beans and sausage on toast, 2 burgers and chips, 1 veggie burger and chips, a ham salad and a bowl of soup. With drinks and 2 Ice creams, the bill came to £50. Quite reasonable, I thought.I would rate this even higher, as a trip out, but because of the rain we were unable to experience it all fully.

Nice play area with lovely views over the countryside! The food is good quality as is the service. Our toddler loves coming to play and he always enjoys the cake!

I've been here with my family and I would recommend it to every family with toddlers . The have a amazing play area, very good products and friendly service. The only reason why I only rate with 4 stars is because I think the restaurant needs improvement. Food was not so good as all the other things.

Visited today , for open farm sunday and had a great day out. Travelled from blackpool. Arrived around 12. Was really busy but the car park was well manned and the staff were super friendly . On arrival at the farm gates we were greeted by a tall nice gent who gave us our scavenger hunt sheets and pens and off we went. First we saw the lambs. They were really cute, we then went on to sit on the tractors, baring in mind it was free entry , we just paid for the animal food, the bouncy castle was also free. The children had great fun holding the guniea pigs and chicks. The baby tortoise was cute too. There were also craft events on and bought some lovely jam! Wed brought a picnic but the food looked and smelt delicious. You feel very welcome. We then bottle fed the lambs and everyone got to have ago. We also had a ride in a tractor. There is also a play area for kids and pigs geese goats. Plenty to do. Food reasonably priced. Great day out!

Fantastic day spent with the family, tractor ride, feeding the baby lambs, milking a cow, sitting on tractors and generally just having fun.What a brilliant day, nice to see happy smiling faces and the people who run the place should be praised for their efforts - outstanding.Even the two guys parking cars were jolly and helpful.You must visit this farm, it's a must for young families

There are 5 sections to this farm - 1. The farm shop - small but the produce is fantastic.2. The cafe - The food is gorgeous, but it does tend to take a while to get your food. The service is always very friendly though and it's reasonably priced.3. The free play area - well stocked with a variety of ride on toys and slides and some tables to watch the kids from whilst enjoying a cuppa.4. The farm - There's a barn with some goats and (at the moment) lambs in it, which our 2 year old loves. Also some guinea pigs in a hutch. Aside from the view of cows, sheep and horses in the neighbouring fields, that's pretty much it.5. The toddler farm tots classes. We haven't done these yet but have signed up on everyone's recommendations.Overall a really lovely place to take a toddler for 2-3 hours.

Visited after recommendation by a friend and so glad we did. Much more than I expected, three lovely impeccable rooms with lovely attentive waitresses. Considering the food (all organic free range) was cooked to order didn't have to wait long. Wonderful free range organic chicken burgers on lovely lightly toasted buns and fabulous home made fat chips with fluffy centres. Will definitely be visiting this venue on a regular basis.

We have visited twice in the last couple of weeks with our two girls age 6&7 for breakfast which is well cooked quality food with plenty of choice, the menu looks good for lunch and snacks too. The cakes look amazing and I can tell you the chocolate one is lovely! We also visited in the summer for ice cream and a play for the girls as they have a little area for children where they can see the rabbits and ride round on plastic cars and things! We shall be visiting more often also staff are friendly and helpful.

Just popped in for lunch on the off chance.Lovely, clean and fresh café.Menu choice good for lunches.Café looks clean and fresh.All staff are really pleasant and helpful.In the summer, I can imagine the place would be heaving with the yummy mummies of Cheshire chasing good, organic food. There is a play area outside for kiddies to play in.Well worth a visit. Do go.Food delicious and served hot and fresh.

Had a tasty organic burger and a friendly welcome, also some advice regarding a walking route that was really nice.

We visited here for some breakfast and were not disappointed at all. The food was delicious and fresh, the service was very good and the place itself was just a little dream. The menu was really varied considering the size of the place and the were a wide range of drinks on offer too. The little shop next door was full of organic produce, yet it was very affordable too. I'd definitely recommend a visit here!

As a family of four, we popped in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The adults ordered organic burgers which were delicious and the children enjoyed their choices off the kids menu.Great, friendly service with an organic shop to browse afterwards (we bought some sausages & shall be returning for more!).We will definitely go again and look forward to sitting outside in summer to appreciate the outstanding surrounding views.

unfortunately I did not get to sample any of the delights of this café - as listed by other visitors-as I had my little, quiet dog with me. in spite of the café seating area being away from foodstuffs, , I was not allowed in with her on a freezing cold day. the café was empty so I could have gone in and then left if someone came in 'frightened of dogs'. as there are absolutely NO health and safety rules regarding dogs in cafes as long as they are not in food prep areas-I have to assume the OWNER is not dog friendly. it seems a bit odd when the area is right out in the country. I was staying in the area for a month and would have loved to walk to the café every day and had lunch there-obviously it is doing so well, it doesn't need customers like me!

Fabulous Organic food. Highly recommend this family run cafe and business. Kaiser bread bap breakfast barm - the best!!

Newly refurbished, nice clean plain interior- small organic shop, meats veg fruit wine, and deli items. Stooped off to treat myself to lunch and a relax /reading on a quiet weekday- friendly staff and delicious burger.

A tiny space but watch this space. The cafe has seating for around 6 or 8 at a push, but some nice treats. Lots of tea in a pot, and no rush. Take time to see some animals and browse the nice range of foodstuffs for sale. This little business is growing and changing all the time, so keep an eye on it.

The Riverside is located close to the River Dane with extensive view across the valley, Davenham Village and Church. It has recently had a facelift and I have to say its very classy now with lots to offer in the way of the usual organic meat and veg but now has an array of wonderful goods and nice gifts including books by local authorsand a delightful cafe area serving light refreshments.

Visited with my friend Rick. Despite being busy with decorating, they found space for us on an unseasonably cold September day and served delicious burgers and coffee. Friendly, beautiful location and great food. What more could you ask?

A Lovely place to sit and relax with a cup of tea while kids play. Fabulous views. We tried Farms Tots but my son did not enjoy. It was not very welcoming, after attending we were told there we're no places so we couldn't come back...that was fine my son didn't want to.We will just go to cafe and play area, we enjoy this.
