Roots Farm Shop in Hambleton

We hebben net samen met vrienden voortreffelijk geluncht. Alle gerechten waren verrassend en super lekker. Is echt de (zeer korte) omweg waard.

I went for lunch at Roots today for the first time, (on recommendation) and enjoyed a delicious lunch and experienced friendly service. The quiche, (red pepper, bacon and leek) was excellent and my guest very much enjoyed her cheese and ham toastie. I was also impressed with the range and quality of goods in the Farm Shop and made a number of purchases. I will definitely return.

We have been visiting Roots as a couple for many years but have noticed a steady reduction in menu choice and portion size. The panini's have disappeared from the menu only to be replaced with Toasties which appeared to be cooked on a Breville. overcooked. flat and tasteless and poor value for money. On our last visit I had the Quiche but was disappointed in the portion size and the salad that accompanied it and felt that for £10.95 was far too much for a small portion with a few leaves of salad, half slice of orange and a tiny metal container of coleslaw. We have enjoyed the quality of the food in the past but regretably will not be visiting again.

My husband had the breakfast and I had the delicious strawberry scone. Excellent service and food outstanding. We also visited the gift shop where I could spend a fortune on all the lovely items.

Had a lovely lunch this afternoon with great service! The ladies were very welcoming and friendly. We both had a cheese and ham scone-which; incredible whoever had that idea! Kay suggested her brownie Sunday which was amazing! There was so much choice of cake but her brownie creation was fabulous! We can’t wait to come back to try her lemon meringue one! Thanks again Kay!

We called around 3pm for a late lunch/snack & grocery/gift shopping as the website stated the cafe was open until 4pm, the shops open until 5pm. We went to the cafe first. A friendly assistant unlocked the Reading Nook as we had our dogs with us & reassured us that we could order food. We were going to order soup or toasties. My father called into the cafe to find out the flavour of soup on offer which was curried but came out as he didn't fancy that. I went into the cafe to order and was told by an abrupt & unwelcoming older woman that there was nothing available other than the soup as everything had been turned off. She rudely advised me that the gentleman (my father in his 70's), had just asked about the soup but "turned his nose up" when she told him it was curried. I'm sure that most people react similarly if they don't fancy something - it was not a malicious act. To be spoken to in that manner by this bolshy & obnoxious female, was out of order & made us feel sick, insulted & shocked. We would have understood had she politely said that they were trying to close the cafe & were no longer accepting customers. The assistant made it clear that we were in the way & our custom was not wanted so we left the site without making our planned purchases of groceries & in the gift shop. We are disappointed as we enjoyed going to Roots & shopped there regularly. I shall destroy my loyalty card and take my custom elsewhere from now on, where we won't be treated like naughty school children, our custom is appreciated & the atmosphere is pleasant. Whatever happened to the old saying, "treat others as you want to be treated yourself?". It costs nothing to smile, be helpful & pleasant, especially to those elderly or disabled.

We had coffee and hot cross scones! Really delicious and I've never seen one before! Plenty of choice for seating, the cafe was busy as you'd expect for a bank holiday Saturday lunch time. We opted for "the Nook", quiet and cosy!

Haven't been to Roots since our middle grandaughter was about 2 she's nearly 16 now. It was a more relaxed seating area and staff very friendly. However at that time there was a mix up about gluten free !!! When I pointed out the problem it was taken on board but being Coeliac I can't be too careful ! Today the place appeard to be trying to be something it isn't! Very little choice of anything sweet to have with a coffe - I chose a gf brownie with white chocolate - it looked fine but was very very dry and bitter - I tried to cut a small portion with a 'tool' that didn't know if it was a fork/knife/spoon- nothing like my spades at home - fork/ spoon in one. Hubby had a coffee and Flapjack but not impressed. Not a relaxing visit.!

We both had burgers. Bread buns were cold baps. Brie (not grilled) on a burger!! Bacon not crispy. Burger seemed "ordinary" Side salad was good. Chips were great as was the service. May be we got a bad day. Tryout burger at stoneygate farm, ravensworth.

Lots of great food to choose from. Outdoor seating great for bikes. Even a cute little reading cafe. Excellent staff and the cows were cute.

Lovely food. Attentive and friendly service. We called off on a sunday morning on our way to Northumberland. It was busy with cyclists and people catching up yet we had a table in 5 minutes. Breakfast was spot on and the fruit scones were fabulous. Will return

Rarely has a small business delivered so much in such a compact space – an incredibly well stocked farm shop with standout meat counter offering the full works including game, and gourmet food and wine goods covering most of the bases. Then there are the home made delights of the adjoining cafe which has become a regular breakfast haunt for us and where we have also enjoyed a tasty lunch. The scones and cakes seem to be very popular with other customers. It is rewarding for us to be able to do shopping such as organic skimmed milk and free range eggs alongside picking up a pheasant and some venison, rare cheeses, gourmet pates and specialist pickles. Our kind of provisioning experience. Lots of choices and surprises. The country kitchen atmosphere of the cafe is perfect and the service friendly. Good range of breakfast offerings and the specials board for lunch tempts the palate with thoughtful creations. The whole business model is an example of excellence to inspire others. Major congratulations from two deeply appreciative regulars.

Had the ham, Wensleydale and cranberry quiche today which was off the scale. One of the best quiches I’ve ever tasted!

There is lots going on at Roots, including a lovely cafe, excellent farm shop (including butchers), fresh fruit and vegetables shop and more. There is lots of parking and some good walking routes which start from the venue.

Stopped on our way to Northumberland. We always try to make a stop here en route. Fabulous friendly staff, food delicious always

Fantastic find. We arrived as a coach party of 14 and Roots couldn’t be more accommodating. The food, drink and very personal hospitality was outstanding. Such a little gem that we came back the day after on our return journey and stopped off again for lunch and a great shop in the farm shop before heading home. Amazing Quiche, beef stew. Prawn and salmon subs and lovely cakes. Thanks for your hospitality. We’ll definitely stop off again when we are up.

The service and friendliness was excellent. We could not fault the food and we would definitely go back.

We googled a "farm shop and cafe" near Northallerton and this came up and I am so glad we went...the food was lovely and the staff were helpful and very friendly

Ordered sausage sarnie. A huge white bap arrived with the smallest twirl of a chipolata sausage. All bread, this together with a coffee came to £9.25! Total rip off.

I met a friend for coffee here and we were delighted to see the new (to us) reading room area. This is just outside the main café and we enjoyed catching up in this lovely little space. We had only planned to meet for a quick coffee - which was really good coffee - but were tempted to stay for a light lunch. We asked if they had anything light they could recommend and were delighted with the 'sharing plate' the kitchen produced for us specially. There were 3 kinds of hummus, sourdough bread, guacamole, all beautifully presented. Thank you!

I’ve just visited Roots cafe this afternoon to celebrate my birthday with my 89 year old Mother. Best hot chocolate around and the staff not only added a candle to the cupcake but the Roots Cafe Choir sang a wonderful rendition of ‘Happy Birthday’. Made my day.. we will be back!

Smashing Farm Shop & Cafe. Lovely light lunch, great scones and very good soup. Interesting selection of foods in the farm shop.

I visit Roots regularly, as a cyclist with my mates and we also bring friends and visitors there. There is always a good selection of freshly made cakes and the salads and paninis are always well presented and tasty. Today, I had probably the best Yorkshire Curd Tart ever ( nicer than Betty's in my opinion!). Kay is a fantastic baker!

We called at Roots today at mid day; we often call on a Sunday after a walk. It was extremely busy due to it obviously being lunchtime. When it was my turn to be served I ordered two teas, one cheese scone, one fruit scone ( one each for my husband and me) and a BLT for my son who was home for my birthday. I asked for the cheese scone to be warmed and was told to wait at the counter and to take the scones myself to our seats - which were in the nook. I wasn’t given a tray but some other kind customers opened doors for me. We then proceeded to wait for our drinks and the rest of our meal. In the end, my husband ate his scone otherwise it would have been stone cold again anyway! After 20 minutes our drinks eventually arrived : however no BLT and no apology for the long wait. I asked the waitress if the BLT was coming and she said yes it was. I ate my scone, we drank our tea - no BLT. After 50 minutes from ordering, the BLT arrived! Consequently my son ate his lunch alone. It rather spoiled the occasion so I did point this out to the waitress and asked for my comments to be passed on. She politely responded that she would do this - however we received no apology from any other staff. I appreciate that at busy times the staff are under pressure but two scones, two teas and a BLT should not be a challenge for them to deliver all at the same time!!

Visited for lunch. Have visited a few times over several years. The facilities keep improving and the staff remain friendly and attentive. The menu is basic, no frills and when the food arrives it is delicious. Nothing pretentious, just well prepared food and the homemade lemon cake was yummy.

Not nice if I’m honest. Menu was limited, service was patchy. They got our order wrong - there were two of us l bothered getting soup so it wasn’t complicated. The soup my friend got - Carrot, ginger and honey was just awful. One of the worst soups I have ever tasted if I’m honest. The honey was unnecessary and overpowering. Coffee was nice but nothing special. It used to be nice pre covid but I won’t be eating there again. Whitegates is very near and much nicer.

Have been here several times, and always good. As it was lunch time, it was very busy, but the staff managed the situation very well. Had lunch with my wife - soup, quiche, salad etc. I mentioned to the waitress how good the quiche had been, and she said she was very pleased to hear that, as she had made it! All, the staff were very pleasant, and there was obviously a good team spirit. They also have a butchers & deli section, which is excellent.

Loved Kay’s cherry and almond scone! Big and delicious with butter. Didn’t have the big veggie breakfast this time but that’s always a winner too.

Visited one of my old haunts again and never disappointed! The ladies at roots produce amazing food and my favourite today was the raspberry chocolate roulade😋 five stars again!

We often stop off at Roots for lunch, afternoon coffees and treats and to pop into the butcher for his fantastic produce. Today I had my first ever “Parmo”, a North East speciality I’ve always ignored, knowing that Roots chicken is of the highest quality...

One of the nicest, if not the best cafe / restaurant in the area. Situated in a lovely, peaceful countryside setting. That alone is reason enough to visit. The food menu, both breakfast and lunch menus list great choices; all dishes made with local produce....

Ten of us dined very well from the butchers and grocers. Top quality food supplies which saw in 2023 in spoiled style.

Menu vastly lacking in vegan options and staff need something to smile about. Shame really as lovely location, good little food and gift shop too. We did manage to get a frozen vegan scone which was served with a pot of butter?! I do hope...

I ordered the traditional breakfast. For £8.95 I would have expected much more. Tiny portion (so small in fact it was served on a side plate rather than an actual dinner plate). My toast was served 20 mins before my breakfast and I’d finished eating...

Being a local we popped in for some bits from the shop as we often do. Decided to have an afternoon treat and went through to cafe to get some cake. Shocked to be charged £5 for two small caramel slices to take away! Whilst...

Called in for lunch today and wasn't disappointed. Even though the team were struggling with staff issues they were all welcoming and provided a great service. No hot food today which wasn't a problem as the sandwich was really tasty followed by the best chocolate...

Stopped for coffee and cake to break our journey south. Very close to the A19 so much better than a service station. Lots of choice in the cafe and friendly staff, only small niggle is the toilets, there are 2 but no separate ladies and...

What a beautiful place to eat and stock up on good-quality food. Special thanks to Tom the butcher for the black pudding filled pork fillets; they’re lush!

Service wasn't bad. Good choice of where to sit and eat. Coffee was OKish, scones were a bit dry. Nice location though and on a warm day it will be a lovely spot. good in-house butchery.

We used Roots for breakfast regularly, over the last few years it has massively gone down hill. We will not be returning. I visited with my family at the weekend. The lady serving could not have looked more miserable or less interested if she tried....

Fantastic toasted cheese scones with balsamic and onion chutney, delicious! Bought some to take home for the family!!

Stopped by for a coffee and cake whilst visiting the butchers. Sat outside and enjoyed tasty hot coffees, lush tasty sausage rolls and the butteriest, lightest tasty Victoria sponge cake this year. Also recommended the scones, love the cheese scones especially 😃

Roots is very nearby for us so we are very luck. They serve a great selection of dishes for lunch and a wide variety of cakes & scones at tea time.

Stopped off at Roots for lunch en route to the Dales as we had booked to go to Mount Grace Priory which is very close. We were very impressed as soon as we walked into the courtyard from the carpark. We first thought that it would be takeway only but were delighted to find the cafe open with the new normal Covid restrictions all well adhered too. I saw the cakes and knew I needed to sample one so had a relatively small lunch - bacon and mushroom sandwich followed by a very good coffee and an extremely good bakewell tart. The adjacent deli/butcher was lovely and there is also a very appealing little gift shop. Great place.

1st class staff who gave us a full explanation to the one way system and the precautions they were taking to keep us covid safe. They really looked after us and paid special attention to my elderly, disabled parents. EnvironmentThe dining area was immaculate and nicely decorated. The tables were well spaced out and the seats were comfortableMenu and food The menu is simple and all your favourites. Some of us had the cheese flan and others had the all day breakfast. The food was delicious all round. As for the bakewell tarts you must try them they are great. OverallWell worth a visit and good value for money. Also nice shops to get some tasty treats/home produce and gifts

Called for an afternoon coffee and cake. Surprised how quiet it was but we'll organized. Tables well sanitized, even the pen had been. Track and trace form clear and easy to fill in. Victoria sponge was very tasty light with lovely raspberry jam. Farm shop stocked with lovely food and butchers department looked enticing.

Called today for the first time excellent facilities wonderful food and coffee and friendly and efficient staff. Great farm shop very well stocked and a great gift shop with reasonably priced quality items.5 star plus

Called in for lunch and was well worth the drive! The brie and tomato quiche salad was delicious as was the BBQ pulled pork wrap. The staff were lovely and we felt safe with the covid procedures in place. The farmshop and gift shop were well stocked with local goods. Love supporting independent shops and cafes.

Good Covid precautions - seem to have adapted in the last few weeks, from an already good situation. As a regular visitor I'm pleased to see the high quality food and drink are continuing. I'm trying to avoid saturated fats, and Roots supply a non-saturated fat alternative (actually vegan) to butter. For our own reasons this time we didn't avail ourselves of the shop but, from last week's visit, the shop remains full of high quality foods.

We are regulars here and love the food, staff are great, there's a well packed farm shop with fantastic produce and the most delightful gift boutique! We always look forward to see what cakes have been made by Kaye too😋

We called in as has done some research and it looked nice. Well. The breakfast was lovely. The service was pleasant and friendly. They have a small shop selling local products and a gift shop. We will go again. Thanks to the staff.Stevd & Debbie.Harrogate.

We regularly visit Roots Farm Shop to stock up on meat etc and have breakfast in the cafe and the quality of food is always superb and the staff can never do enough for you. The food nor the service ever falters. It is nearly a 2 hour round trip for us but we would not buy from anywhere else. It is a delight to visit and would definitely recommend it . Looking forward to the next visit and the warm welcome we receive and of course stocking up on quality meats etc.

We visited the February Steak night. Just wow! Everything from start to finish was wonderful. I loved how you are welcomed at the door. The lovely butcher, went through what each steak was in detail and answered all our questions. He then allowed us to choose how large we wanted our steaks cutting. We were taken to our table by the lovely waitress (Hollie I think), she was wonderful. Running around all evening but nothing was too much or too big a problem. Her service really was first class, a big smile on her face and chatty all evening. Our order was taken by another young lady, again brilliant service. The service really did make our visit. We received our food and it was cooked to perfection!!! Those chips, wow!! I loved how the chef himself came out to check on food and introduce himself. Don’t get them often but was a lovely touch. Puddings were delicious, we had a ginger sandwich! Fab! Finished off with a perfect latte. The atmosphere all evening was lovely, so welcoming. It was like a really little community together. I can’t wait to return again!! Thank you to the Butcher, Hollie and the other waitresses, the Chef and all the kitchen team! Big well done!

Had the worst scrambled eggs ever. Hard lumps of yellow and white bits of egg served in a small bowl which had a deep pool of watery liquid in the bottom. Absolutely disgusting and which ever waitress cleared away the untouched bowl will agree with this description.

We stopped off here with some friends for lunch. It was very busy but we did not have long to wait for a table. Plenty of choice for a snack type lunch. All the meals looked appetising and lots of homemade food with items from the local area or the farm itself. Good parking and easy to walk to. Friendly staff and all very tidy and clean.

Called here on way to see family in Yorkshire. Had lunch. I had a pulled beef wrap and hubby had a bowl of soup with crusty bread - it was like a doorstop as my Grandma would say, just right for dunking. Hubby also had a cheese scone which was delicious. Had a pot of tea and was also asked if we wanted more hot water - you don't get that very offen nowadays.Staff really friendly and welcoming.Loved the little shop/butchery and came away with some goodies.Definitely call again and recommend highly.

The website and publicity leaflet give the impression it is larger than it actually is. The shop was very small in relation to the cafe which was a shame. We were surprised at the limited range of products. The shop is very cramped, aisles not large enough for 2 people to browse comfortably. All in all, a bit of a disappointment.Lovely meat section, expensive drinks section, poor cheese selectionPolite and friendly staffGood parking and easy access

I stop here regularly and the service and quality of food is always excellent. The Farmshop boasts an excellent butchery and the fresh veg is always at its best.

Have really enjoyed the cheese scones here recently, they are light and tasty and so much better than usual. However the fruit scones are heavy and doughy. Different baker? No comparison. Came away disappointed and left half of it.

Called at Roots Farm Shop for lunch on the way to Scottish Borders from Lincolnshire. Had to divert up the A19 from A1 but well worth it. Lovely food lovely service.. catered for children’s needs.

Stopped off en route and enjoyed a lovely breakfast. Definitely worth a stop. A variety of choices making it difficult to choose. Went for sausage sandwich and then had to miss out on the huge cheese scone!

Just called in after a long walk for a coffee and sandwich, dog cafe was full and no one in there had any dogs !! Asked if we could sit in main cafe with well behaved dog and we were turned away. Don’t sit in a dog cafe if you don’t have dogs !? Especially when there is room in normal one !!!!

I have given Roots the benefit of the doubt and been on many occasions, and every time I am very disappointed, food was very greasy on one visit, and overall extremely expensive for what you get, I would have expected more on the plate, ie chips/crisps salad, The presentation is next to nothing. I have to give it credit the staff are lovely. But on face value, a very poor farm shop. No return.

Great little cafe and shop just a mile from the main road North. Staff were so helpful and the drinks and cakes were excellent if only it was a little closer to home :-)

Lovely farm shop food nice served by careing staff.butchers and deli would definitely visit again when in the area

Lovely cafe and farm shops. Friendly welcoming staff and quick service. A fab choice of meals, we had the hot beef baguette and avocado, smoked salmon and cream cheese flatbread. Both came with salad garnish and crisps. Give it a visit, you won’t be disappointed :)

As with all afternoon teas, you 'pay through the nose', and this was no exception. Fortunately, someone had given us a gift voucher, so we could relax and enjoy the treat without considering the cost.

Just called in by chance for afternoon tea and what a treat it turned out to be. Great choices, lovely staff and great surroundings.

Popped in for some food for dinner. Plenty to choose from in and a lot of extras to pick from , local gins to gifts Went back early afternoon for a bite to eat which was fresh and very tasty,service was table service.

I have been here a total of 3 times, and wouldn't come again.

Boring and lacklustre menu, so very disappointing. Saw ad in Dales life and decided to give it a go. Won’t be going back. Very close to farm animals so lots of flies and strong farmyard smell.

Tried their Afternoon Tea. Plenty to eat, and good quality. It was a shame that I could only select two types of sandwich filling, although I suppose the bonus was that you could actually select the fillings.

Good one time next not so good can vary

I was out and about making deliveries today and called in at Roots. I ordered a Pork and Chutney sandwich to take out. It was one of the best I have had. The staff are super friendly. I will return with my family. Thanks

Up until recently I used to enjoy visiting Roots for my breakfast . The food is always delicious and freshly prepared . However I find it strange that over a period of my last five visits , the price was different on three occasions?

We enjoy coming to your lovely cafe and shops and always feel welcome and relaxed. However the cappuccino experience is very hit and miss. Have had some good ones but some very poor ones and today was the latter. Flavour of coffee is good but I think some of the staff don't know how to get the best from the machine. Today's offering was like a milky coffee with no froth and covered in a thick layer of chocolate. At £2.75 a cup it should always be good.

My mum and I came across this friendly, charming and delicious farm shop whilst visiting Dark Star plants. As keen gardeners we will definitely be returning to both because of the great service and quality. Thank you for making our day.

I gave Roots a five star review when I first visited and several years later, after regular visits for breakfast, lunch, and afternoon tea I am pleased to be able to still give five stars . The quality of the food and service never fails and it is first stop for breakfast when visitors come to stay. Likewise the butchers are excellent, ever helpful with advice and willing to prepare cuts of meat if not on their excellent display. I have visited larger establishments in the area and more often than not come away without having bought anything or have been unable to get seated. It is always worth driving a little further for me as Roots NEVER disappoints.

Warm and friendly cafe next to farm shop. Been three times on our travels up and down A19 and always had good food. Has a vegan lunch option and soy milk and gluten free choices. Lovely scones and cakes and good sausage rolls. Worth the detour.

Quite a little gem. The butcher's shop was excellent and the meat almost irresistible. Lunch in the café was very good - the large breakfast is certainly large and very filling - plus the locally made sausage rolls are extremely tasty. Service was good and the ambiance really pleasant

Lovely setting and great selection of goods on offer in the surrounding shops.

We called for lunch and were quickly seated and served with a delicious Wensleydale and Tomato soup from the specials board. Even though it is June the soup was comforting on a damp north eastern day!
