Saddleback Farm Shop in West Berkshire

We’ve been to the farm shop for food several times and sadly it’s gone downhill drastically since our last visit. The food was disappointing and there was very few options for lunch. The lady behind the counter was dismissive and rude, she didn’t even wipe down our table. The toilets were disgusting and need a good clean. My partner ordered a honey and almond roasted Camembert which didn’t come with honey or almonds. The chicken in my sandwich was chewy, looked like left overs and was pink- not what I expect for a £9 sandwich with no side! The place is generally looking run down and looks like it’s going under. We won’t be returning after our experience today.

Well what a disappointment been there before and the food was excellent but today very very average a very small selection and when it did come mine was delivered 10 minutes before my wife’s so mine was cold and my wife’s was undercooked. Normally there is very good selection of gluten free today next to non I think we will think twice before going again On a side note the farm shop butchers meat selection was also limited

We have been meaning to try this place for a while and finally got there. The carpark was gravel but we managed to squeeze our motorbikes into a tarmac spot. The staff were all very young ( it was a Sunday) but lovely and friendly and efficient. The coffee came quickly ( and was good) and the breakfasts not far behind, and they were pretty busy. The food was lovely, quality ingredients and well cooked my husband was in raptures over the bacon. Loos were good and there's a large seating area outside and a sandpit for children. The view is gorgeous.

This is the second time we have visited in the last 3 months and now it will be the last. The food is dreadful; it didn’t used to be like this, it used to be lovely, fresh, hot and presented beautifully. Whoever is in the kitchen now is inexperienced and the food is either stale or rock hard because it’s been ‘microwaved’ for too long. The service is so slow as well even with only 3 tables to serve. I fear this cafe and shop won’t be here by next year unless the owners do something dramatic now and rescue it. I’m so disappointed as this used to be a go to place for us to visit and I didn’t mind paying the high costs for quality and service, but they have both gone now, so I will take my money elsewhere.

We didn’t stay to eat lunch. We arrived at 11:45 and was told we were too late for breakfast and too early for lunch so all we could order was a coffe and a pastry. Not very helpful! I was told that I could not order Eggs Benedict even if we stayed as it was a ‘breakfast item’. So we left and went to another place who straightaway did me an Eggs Benedict and my friend a BLT.

This is such a tragedy! Saddleback used to be a brilliant little cafe and farm shop, but since being taken over it's become apparent the new owners have no idea how to run a cafe. Food service was slow despite there being one other customer in the store. To be served cakes and a warmed up sausage roll took a whopping 30 mins (keep in mind we were the only customers being served). The staff kept forgetting our order which meant we had to keep reminding them that we were missing food from our order. The whole thing was disastrous. What good is spending a fortune doing up the farm shop if the business is unwillingly to train its staff!

This was my birthday trip, some people felt a bit unwelcome. My food was ok I would have liked real fruit with my pancakes for the price. The view and weather were lovely.

One particular staff member was incredibly rude when asked about vegan options. Coffee was terrible. Previously had similar experiences.

Thought we would try here after a pleasant visit a couple of years ago. Wow, the standards have dropped. Place not particularly busy, almost as many staff as customers. Staff seemed completely disinterested in any customer service. Felt like a group of school kids were running the place. Food took a farcical amount of time to be served. Was average quality. One dish had to be chased up as hadn’t arrived only for the staff member to say they thought we had already got it! We were interested in buying some meat for a bbq but, after standing at the deli section for ages, no staff took any notice so we went elsewhere in the end. Very sad. A Poundland Cobbs.

Lovely setting and dog friendly. We enjoyed our coffee and hot chocolate however the food was disappointing. Ordered pancakes with bacon and maple syrup, we did ask for crispy bacon however it came out like cardboard. The scrambled egg resembled more of an omelette and no butter provided on the toast which made it very dry. Service was poor. We had visited a few years ago and had a great lunch so overall it was a disappointing visit.

We went for lunch today and ordered avacado on toast, a toasted cheese sandwich and a jacket potato with beans and cheese. It wasn’t particularly busy and we weren’t told there was a wait on food when we ordered. Fast forward 45 minutes and we chased up our food only to be told there would still be a bit of a wait. We eventually got my husband and daughter’s food after an hour. I was told my toastie would just be a minute. After a further 10 minute wait (and the other’s having almost finished their lunch) I went back up to the counter to ask where my lunch was. It was sat waiting to be brought out and judging from the congealed cheese it had been sat there a while. The waitress told me she had wanted to bring it out but she had drinks to make.

We took our grandson for a treat. I am afraid it turned out a disappointment. We ordered 1 full English generally ok bacon over cooked. 1 scone that was inedible had to send it back had a cake as a replacement not impressed. The two grand children had pancakes and bacon, there opinions were bacon burnt, pancakes rubbery and stodgy. No problem with drinks, the girls serving tables were good under pressure. They were polite and helpful. The outstanding views unbeatable. Have been here many times in the past , one previous visit they had staff problems the chef refused to cook so we left. Hopefully this is not an ongoing problem, would like to visit again but I will have to hear that things have to improve first.

We were there for a family lunch- all good no complaints there BUT I made the mistake of buying some very expensive but lovely looking bhajis and some samosa- 4 and 3 and it came to around twenty pounds. Just tried to eat them with an Indian take away. The bhaji's are inedible and very, very dry. They fall apart when you cut into them and the centre has the consistency of flour - not onion. I threw them away. The samosa was not much better and was closer to a pasty with a soggy pastry instead of a crisp deep fried covering. It was also tasteless- never again- what a waste.

Although it has changed ownership, the soup is still the most expensive I’ve ever had (I mentioned this in a review several years ago - very average taste, fairly small bowl) accompanied by a slice of toast which had already been buttered. Surely a hunk of fresh bread with your own butter is preferable? Had to send back the soup as it was almost cold. There are jugs of luke-warm water to which you help yourself - I wonder how long they had been there. The glasses smelled awful. Staff very slow to clear tables - it wasn’t busy either.

Not the same cheery place since lockdown. Todays staff member came across as unfriendly and unhelpful, verging on surly. Room for improvement. On the plus side the surroundings are unchanged and the food quality good. Last month's visit was a much nicer experience.

This place has been in steady decline for months now. Thought we'd give it one more chance which was a mistake. The quality of the food is just poor compared to what it was a couple of years ago. I had to send my cheese and onion toastie back as there was no visible evidence of cheese or onion. The same sandwich came back with a bit more filling (not much more) but it was inedible. It was like some cheap tasting spread. When I complained I was told chef cuts everything up so finely it's like a paste.....Clearly the cheapest of ingredients are being used - supermarket bread, and some God awful paste filling. For £8 I was hoping for more. Especially when they charge such extortionate prices for the goods they sell in the shop - so ripping customers off in 2 ways. I was given a voucher to use on return, I would have preferred a refund as I doubt we'll go back. When relaying my experience to friends, most said they don't go anymore, except for a coffee in the summer to enjoy the view. Such a shame.

This is a great find, good quality food with some lovely unusual foodie items in the shop.They are very busy at the weekends,we found it a great spot to bring the kids after school for an ice cream and play in the sandpit , whilst the grown ups can enjoy a decent coffee.Really good patisserie too

Visited for lunch with friends. Ordered some meals, asked for a sandwich filling to be put in a panini. Surly girl advised it couldn’t be done. As everything is made fresh and they were not busy, i have to wonder why?Two meals arrived, then we had to wait for the other two to arrive, hence we didn’t really eat together.Two of our party left, us two ladies waited for them to clear our table so we could order more coffee and cakes, after waiting for an unacceptable amount of time, we left. Was OK but could have been so much better. Would not bother to visit again.

The farm shop cafe is situated in a beautiful setting and the little park and sand pit is such a plus - that I give 5 stars without a double. However, the food is a massive let down. I tried the Mexican Breakfast - it was awful. The bacon cremated, beans old and dry, the flat bread thing inedible and to top it off the guacamole had a curly little black hair in it. Serving food in this state is not okay. I’m not one to complain, but when things are this bad; something has to be said. My flat white was also cold and spilled into the saucer before it got to me. I think standards need to be looked at, because this place could be a wonderful.

Loved it here. Lunch was great with quality child friendly options, good quality farm shop, relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Perfect day... will be back.

Set in a picturesque location on a drive between Newbury and Wantge - Brilliant coffee and countryside views. A park at the backyard is a cherry on the top. If you are lucky you will spot deers along the walking path or in the filelds

I go to the local Honesty Cafe at the base (which I really like going to) and thought I’d try Saddleback. Had a lovely lunch and the atmosphere was relaxed. The service was not as friendly as at the base but still it was a nice lunch and I felt pretty safe.

Lovely coffee and really tasty almond slice - very impressed with the service and every try big that’s in place for social distancing - felt very safe and very welcome

We came here for a coffee so our 2-year old son could play with his new diggers in the sandpit. It was the nicest coffee both my husband and I had had in a while and our son had a delicious smoothie. After playing in the sandpit, our son went down the slide a couple of times. It’s such a lovely spot to come to with an amazing view. It’s a shame that there were so many wasps but that’s not Saddleback’s fault! In Covid-times it was good to see hand sanitiser on the counter and a risk assessment displayed next to the play equipment.

I went to Saddleback Cafe twice - the coffee is really nice and they do delicious cakes. The sandwiches and hot meals looked really nice and the shop was interesting with nice meats and cheeses etc. Nice play area for young children

Had coffee and a scone here for the first time today in blazing sunshine and 32oC. The service was very good, the coffee excellent, the scone tasty and prices reasonable. We sat outside to enjoy the view and weather but only 1 table had a parasol (not ours). Every table outside needs one in weather like this

I have visited this cafe on a few occasions without being either impressed or disappointed but today was different. I know there are the necessary precautions in place that make service a little more complicated following the Covid outbreak but I can't see why this should affect the quality of the coffee. My wife and I both ordered a cappuccino today and for the first time ever we agreed on something - it was terrible. There was no discernable coffee taste at all. What they served us is a mystery. We left both cups after just a few few sips.I am now retired after having spent 12 years in the coffee industry. I'm sorry Saddleback but you need to look at this problem quickly.

Went to saddleback farm shop to buy some groceries most expensive place I have ever seen and not even local produce I paid 37 pounds for a few items when if I’d have gone to a super store it would of cost probably 10 pounds basically they are ripping people of , you say look after the farm shops but what about the public you are taking us for fools you are a disgrace you are basically thieving the public it’s disgusting You won’t see me and my family again

We arrived for late lunch. the place was busy but not too busy. Service and staff were good, though somewhat indifferent, perhaps there had been a busy lunchtime. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. There were tempting cakes on the counter and a nice selection of dishes to choose from. The premises were clean. I will be giving it another chance.

Really enjoyed our curry and quiz last night, food was delicious and the service was great. Special thanks to Rosie the quiz master!

What a great find, stopped for a coffee and bite to eat with the kids,the food was good and the kids enjoyed playing outside we were served quickly and staff were friendlyWe took advantage of buying some lamb from the butcher's counter for lunch , it was delicious.

We went for breakfast at the Saddleback farm shop. The deli and butcher counters looked amazing. We all went for the sausage bap with egg and they were amazing. Exactly what we'd hoped for. The coffees were also very very good.

Since the upgraded the food choices have-not improved and the GF menu has decreased and the quality of the food has also fallen used to love this place will not be in a hurry to return

We have been coming here for years and always loved the delicious food and generous portions. Today we had a ploughman’s lunch at £10 each. The plate contained 2 very thin, small triangles of cheddar. One small, thin slice of ham (I needed to cut fat away). It stated a cauliflower chutney but we had a tiny pot of something similar to normal pickle. There was half a small, tasteless pork pie. I gave mine to OH. He said they were tasteless. No pickled onions. They seem to bulk the plate up with coleslaw as a cheap extra. There was a small salad (small blob of nice mustardy dressing). The slice of bread tasted fresh and nice.The restaurant was busy, lots of staff about but the tables were dirty. Ours wasn’t wiped at all. We used to look forward to our lunches and brekkies at Saddleback but we will not be returning. On top of this, we got home and cut into the Honesty seeded bread and it was hard and dry. Bring back Marcopolo bread. I cannot understand why they’ve changed something that was so good and always busy.

After a windy dog walk at Snelsmore Common, we called into Saddleback Farm for lunch. New on the menu was a kids burger (a burger version of the little piglets menu). Which went down a TREAT with my 11 year old; the adult version was devoured by me The staff are always welcoming, helpful and so knowledgeable. Don’t drive past this place...miss it and you really miss out.

Previously we visited many times before Honesty group partnered with Saddleback.We visited as parents with 2 young children. To say the food is disappointing is an understatement. The sausage baps were so dry we had to soak them in sauce to eat them. As you can see from the picture the sausage seemed to be one sausage cut in quarters lengthways and cooked for far too long. There was nothing to it. I asked for a poached egg in one of the baps which came out as a fried egg. The hot chocolates seemed to be mostly hot water not milky and chocolatey. Our little boy had a waffle with fruit and yoghurt which was ok, but the chopped apple and pear on top with watery yoghurty wasn't good.The cost of the food and drink was £20.10 so not good value considering the quality.Finally, the sandpit that all the children play in has been emptied.

Appalling. We have been to Saddleback a few times before it was taken over. This particular time I was by myself with my dog. I approached a member of staff and asked how I ordered if dogs aren’t allowed inside. First response was ‘tie him to a bench’. When I explained he’s a rescue and won’t do well with this he went to ask his manager. Response then was that he’d come outside and wait with my dog while I order. I explained that he’d be upset and bark but that’s what will have to happen. I was waiting outside for 15 minutes before I got very fed up and left. There needs to be a better process for a fairly ordinary situation. Shocking. Won’t be returning.

The change of management has resulted in a refurbished dining room and a new service counter. Pleased to say that the menu remains much the same as before .

Took a detour to avoid stopping at motorway services on the M4. Really enjoyed my breakfast at Saddleback. The bacon was delicious. The staff were very friendly and the service was quick. Lots of space early in the morning.

We have always supported local small businesses and have been enjoying saddleback for many years both as a couple and then with our child. We were concerned when they announced a partnership with a chain locally that things would be very different, but we thought ok let’s give it a go. We arrived at 3.30 on a grey day to ok be greeted by more grey decor inside (previously a warm bright space) then while my husband and toddler found a table I went to the counter to ask for a kids menu as this was a treat so nice to as before give her an early tea while we had a cuppa. But NO! I was informed that no food (except cake) is served now after 3pm!!! WHAT!!! This was as many families feared so many local supportive mums visit tjj ok have a chat and feed the kids after school/nursery as we always felt welcomed and was a great treat for kids in a safe fun environment. Clearly our past custom and support means nothing over the now overpriced ‘townie fair’ and clearly too much money is being made to not need late afternoon customers! That’s all families written of visiting after 3pm!!! Just when families are together it’s madness.

Gone backwards, bring back the original owner. No longer a farm shop just another pretentious coffee shop. Avoid at all times

Three of us visited on a Sunday lunchtime for the first time since reopening a few weeks ago and we were disappointed. The decor has changed during the renovation and there is a lot of dark grey on the walls which has taken away the old lighter colours and homely feel. The old vintage china has gone replaced with white and there are new teapots with small inner infusers for tea leaves in which instead a tea bag was popped!

I was really impressed! A lovely farm shop with a cafe. Outside there is a large sandpit, with sandpit toys, and a climbing frame. A lovely place for the children to play while catching up with friends over tea and cake.

The cafe was under staffed, the wait for tea and a scone was ridiculously long considering she only had to add water to a teapot and lift scones from the cabinet . We changed table because it had not been wiped and was not clean. The waitress took food to other people outside a number of times and on every occasion didn’t bother closing the door upon her return and when asked to do so her manner was arrogant. Needless to say we will not be returning.

I enjoy stopping at Saddlefarm shop when I am riding my bike.

Had to wait for 20 minutes for a cup of tea. They obviously weren’t coping, not particularly clean either, very disappointed.

Firstly one of the nicest farm shops around with a lovely selection of meat and cheese and gift ideas. They even have Cornish Yarg which is my wife's favourite cheese so that in itself is a good sign!

We arrived around 10.30 and before I even had chance to look around the fabulous farm shop my 5 year old was out playing in the sandpit and climbing apparatus set in the glorious countryside.

An excellent Cream Tea was had today, 1st / Aug / 19. We have had lunch here before and that was also very good. The waitress's genuinely want you to be 100% satisfied and give superb service.

Having travelled past this place many times on my daily commute I felt it was time we paid a visit.

We always come here for lunch when I visit family in the area and I’m rarely disappointed. The children love to play outside which is very child friendly with climbing frame and sand pit etc . I had the quiche for lunch which was served with leaves and extremely tasty and we had chosen to eat inside due to tiresome insects in the very hot weather ! However as soon as our food was served we were bombarded by wasps and although some people may not mind them we certainly did and despite swatting them away very frequently they were extremely persistent and did not leave us alone . I did notice the same goings on at other tables so suspect that there might be a wasps nest in the vicinity ! Hopefully this will be dealt with by our next visit as otherwise everything was lovely .

This morning (14th July) we invited some family over for breakfast for my wife’s birthday and we all enjoyed our visit , there were 4 adults and 2 children and all were made very welcome ..the breakfast was amazing and brilliant value for money and considering how busy it was we did not wait very long for the food to arrive .The staff were all very friendly and could not do enough to help . The restaurant and toilets were very clean as we’ll . All in all a very good morning and would recommend Saddleback farm shop to anyone .

We visited recently with my granddaughter and had a great afternoon here. The farm shop is well stocked with lots of good products plenty to chose from. The views over the fields are beautiful. There is plenty for children to do with a sand play area and a wooden play area. She had such a fun time.

Great place to bring kids and enjoy the play area over decent coffee, shop has unusual nice products and the butchery is always a treat. My kids love the piglets breakfasts options here and the delicious ice creams

I live close by and use to drop in for lunch on a fairly regular basis but haven’t been in for about 6 months and sadly don’t think we will be going back for a while. Ordered lunch with one tea and one cold drink but struggled to find a clean glass drink from, looks like the dishwasher is leaving a dirty cloudy food film on the glasses. Found a table (not very busy) and staff member brought the tea and cutlery to the table (cutlery left in a heap at end of the table), no napkins left with cutlery and when we asked for some, we were told that they were on the counter but she would get some for us!! When we retrieved the cutlery I had to go back to the counter and as for some clean ones as again it seemed to have a grubby film on them, staff member apologised and promptly ran it under the water boiler tap and said she would bring some clean ones! think I got the same ones back just cleaned under the boiler tap and dried. Sadly looking around the tea room area some of the tables were obviously dirty, staff were slow to clear and clean tables that had been vacated, the tea room area had a feeling of being unkempt, uncared for and a bit grubby. Staff perfectly friendly, food was fine and shop as goods as it was but sadly cleanliness standards have dropped quite dramatically in the tea room.

Stopped in at this very rural location with gorgeous views. The shop had some fun things! Bought 2 scotch eggs to take home and they were delicious! Ate lunch there and the sandwiches were excellent! The ham and cheese toastie was cooked perfectly and the turkey bacon club sandwich was great!

We had lunch at Saddleback Farm (3 people). It is small but nice. The food is very nice and good quality. They also offer free from options which I feel is excellent as many places do not offer this and as someone with a dairy allergy this can be problematic. This is why I give them 5 stars because they do free from and do it well. I always enjoy coming here even if its just for coffee. When the weather is nice and you can sit outside you can see the chickens and the deer in the fields which is lovely.

A great place for coffee/lunch etc. Seems very popular, easily gets full up. Not cheap but food is nice. Quite a varied menu. Also there is a farm shop where you can buy bread, veg, meats, drink. Quite expensive, but then most farm shops are. Plenty of parking

Visited on the bank holiday Monday for the first time and it was such a delight to eat outside in the sunshine with the beautiful view, it was a little busy and you have to order everything you want at the till but it didn't take long to come out and the full English was my highlight, will be back.

Visited on Saturday, very busy but the staff were polite and the food came out quickly. Both had burgers which were served with wedges, salad and coleslaw, all delicious! will return.

After a long walk along The Ridgeway we stopped at saddleback farm.

The lamb is also meant to be "pulled"...

Great service and great food would recommend love the place but need more GFA meals And of course more GF cakes

Pleasant surroundings, but I thought £6 for a small bowl of vegetable soup was excessive, and no discount if you didn't want the bread.

Been a couple of times now and will keep coming back. Michelle and the team are super friendly and efficient. The food is fantastic, good value for money and can't recommend highly enough.

A very popular place but we were lucky enough to find an empty table . Food here is always lovely and the children needed no prompting to eat up ! They were soon finished eating and off outside to play in the secure play area where we could keep an eye on them from our table whilst we finished our lunch at a more sedate pace .

Took my elderly mother and wife for Sunday lunch the food was gorgeous and the staff very friendly also brought a gluten free beef Wellington which we are yet to eat they were a little expensive but in they are tasty we will forgive them.

Five of us had Sunday breakfast, choosing various things from the menu, with a couple of special requests.

Beautiful food, lovely atmosphere, great service, friendly staff, clean, cozy and warm. Real find I'm coming back next time will bring my friends so they can enjoy this excellent experience. Love this place definitely coming back 😆

Live close to the shop thought I would try the butchery all looks good but I have never come across such misserable uninterested snotty staff , The meat was good but would not bother going back when Q gardens is on the way home !!

Excellent farm shop and cafe. Very strong emphasis on local produce and of the saddleback farm itself. The cooked breakfast was excellent the quality of ingredients being excellent. The shop contains an excellent butchers and delicatessen counter. Well worth the detour from the A34.

This place has the potential to be amazing. The setting is lovely but the customer service and choice lacks. The staff are quite rude and exude an air of importance over customers whilst the menu could be improved for the prices.

Excellent sausage rolls were out of this world so tasty!! Worth a trip just to taste one couldn’t fault

From time to time we head out to the Saddleback Farm Shop for something different and out of town. It is in a very lovely setting and the service is good. Sometimes we go for a weekend lunch/brunch or just for a cuppa with friends.

Popped in for lunch on a glorious September afternoon. The staff are very friendly, the food was delicious and the views amazing.

Farmhouse feel with farmshp benefits. Homecooked fresh food ,varied menu ,also amazing meat counter and deli range and farmshop with fresh produce and country ware.

Fabulous location and the perfect place to meet friends for a catch up - However our visit was spoilt by the miserable woman who served us - could just about acknowledge us at the counter, was so unhelpful

Feeling like a full English breakfast we decided to take a drive to Saddleback and so glad we did.

Really tasty, hot and fresh breakfast, with a great view across the counryside. We will be back! Dogs welcome too.

Had a ploughmans without Ham and was given LOADS of cheese, still quite dear, and a bit of a wait. But the staff were all very friendly, the place is clean and bright. It's a lovely little place that has become very busy. Worth braving the crowds.

Lovely location on a summer day.

This place is a great find for when you want something a little bit different for lunch, breakfast or afternoon tea. A farm shop cafe is nothing unusual but the beautiful view over the field and the quality of the food are!

Tucked away in the wilds, there is an excellent butchers, deli and super cafe. The food is very good, the staff friendly and the views across the open fields just splendid. You often see deer. Get there early if you want breakfast on Sunday, it is very popular. For petrol heads there is often the odd interesting car visiting there too. Morgan’s, Caterhams etc and it is popular with cyclists too. A play area for kids and ice creams for sale.

It was generally just ok. Ok menu, average to middling veggie options, prices on a par with the farm shops generally (ie not cheap, but not eye watering) and the indoor seating was all right, although could get very busy and noisy. Of the farmshops in the area, it's not one I'd be rushing back to.The smoothie was nice though!

Rushed over this morning as wanted a full English . Arrived to be greeted by a queue, got in queue at 11.50 breakfast stopped at 12, we got to front of queue at 12 to be then told they had stopped serving breakfast!!, pointed out we had been queuing for ages but didn't make a difference , shame as food looked nice

Second Visit, just as worth as visit as the first, the lunch was great, the Pie was delightful and full of flavor, as for the Lemon Cake. we are now making this place a regular stop whenever we are within 30 Miles. It worth the extra drive.

I had been looking forward to trying Saddleback Farm Shop for a while, but sadly ended up disappointed by my experience. I visited with some friends on a Sunday lunchtime & it was incredibly busy when we arrived just after midday, with people finishing their breakfast orders. As soon as we walked in, I was hit by how loud, cramped & crowded it felt - definitely not the relaxing farm shop atmosphere I was hoping for! We ordered lunch & although our food arrived quickly & was presented nicely, I found it incredibly overpriced for what you get - £6 for a portion of beans on toast seems ridiculous! For that price, I was at least expecting some type of special ‘artisan’ homemade bread, but I was just served two slices of standard brown bread?!

Beautiful food, lovely atmosphere, great service, friendly staff, clean, cozy and warm. Real find I'm coming back next time will bring my friends so they can enjoy this excellent experience. Adam

We were driving between Heritage site when a toilet was quickly needed.

Headed out to Saddleback on a whim and enjoyed a light lunch of a jacket potato with prawns. More than sufficient portion size with very generous quantity of prawns with Marie Rose sauce. Coffees were also excellent so all in all a first class experience.

I visited this morning with friends for breakfast and a catch up.

My wife and I have regularly visited Saddleback Farm, for morning coffee, afternoon tea and the occasional lunch. Last Friday took my mother-in-law for afternoon tea, we saw some mouth watering cake on the counter and duly order a slice, when it arrive it was so thin you could nearly see through it! My wife and I discussed the cake and noticed that over the last few months the slices have been getting smaller.

1st visit this morning, lovely full English breakfast, Tea in China cup all with a beautiful view. Perfect

Visited the Cafe recently for lunch. The food was bland and the green vegetables were under cooked. Onion gravy was really thin with 'large' pieces of onions in it. Pork and Apple burger was only just cooked inside and was tasteless. Quite expensive considering.

Actually drove out of our way to visit and wished we hadn't bothered.

Encontramos este encantador café y tienda de granja en Tripadvisor y nos alegramos de haberlo hecho buen desayuno de comida producidos allí. Maravillosas Vistas mejoradas lo que una comida bien cocinada. ruedas era bueno y aunque la comida era un poco caro, sin duda, volveremos.

Llamado aquí por primera vez con algunos miembros de la familia y tuvimos una experiencia muy agradable. La comida era deliciosa, pero el servicio era bastante lento, por suerte fue un día muy agradable, así que no era un problema

He visitado Saddleback como cliente local varias veces y nunca me sentí decepcionado sin embargo hoy siento la necesidad de revisión.

Rather than stop somewhere bland we dived off the A43 and went into the country side for lunch whilst en-route home to midlands. What a find and good gluten free options with wonderful farm shop. Support the real food places and get off the main roads. Connection back into A43was also simple.

Our first visit with our son and daughter in law and their two three year old twin sons. We had lunch there and the food and service was very good, quality and quantity in both measures. Always good to see a farm shop that actually sells the meat produced on the farm or at least from the locality. Small safe children's play area enough to keep them entertained while the parents can browse the produce. Would certainly recommend this shop, pity not closer to Basingstoke..
