Spencers Farm Shop in Braintree

Popped here today, after exercise class at Halstead Leisure centre, for breakfast. Today we had wild mushrooms on sour dough toast with a poached egg and it was delicious and great value for money. Always clean cafe and great service. If I had to offer and improvement I would have liked a few more mushrooms but I am greedy!!! I would recommend this cafe highly, for breakfast

Just got a palm tree delivered the boys couldnt be anymore helpful,helped us dig the hole a little bigger and stayed till we were happy above and beyond. The food is very good with local produce and no skimping on price,also the farm shop is really nice with fresh produce and nice cakes.staff all friendly and polite.Thanks.

Recommend the food at this cafe within the farm shop. Very fresh. Very good portions. Friendly staff. Varied menu with specials on board.

We have been regular diners here for some time & always receive a warm welcome. As a diabetic my wife always, without exception, enjoys the jacket potatoes as it gives her the necessary carbohydrates for the day. I always enjoy the Chef's special soups. Highly recommended.

Spencers farm is a lovely place with a well stocked farm shop and an even better cafe/restaurant. The quiche there is possibly the finest I have tasted. A nice array of food on the menu and specials board. Also everything on one level which benefits me as I am disabled after a stroke staff very helpful and friendly I frequent spencers 3 or 4 times a month. Go and check it out.

Called in just for a snack for lunch Staff were vert polite and helpful, the tea and coffee were on the table within about 3 minutes Jacket Potatoes with side salad - superb Will most certainly return.

Very well stocked shop with a vast array of products. Fresh Eggs, Quails Eggs, Cornish Yarg Cheese, Vegatables and an excellent selection of frozen treats Local Wines and much more. Plenty of parking

Roast of the day (Sunday) Loin of Pork or Shoulder of Lamb. BOTH excellent. Tasty meat, good batter pud, al dente vegetables. Fast professional service. Busy at 1230hrs. Would make sense to book a table.

This farm shop is supported by the fruit farm that offers seasonal pick your own through the year. Farm grown apples and pears are available to buy in to the Winter months. The shop stock locally produced meat, dairy produce, wine, beer and gifts. Cakes and pastries are made on the premises. There’s a good supply of village honey and products. The gift shop is stocked with all manner of goods from gift cards to baby wear, jams and pickles to hampers. Christmas trees and wreaths are available all through December. Well worth a visit and only a short drive from the A131. Well signposted.

I've lived around here most of my life but only found out about Spencer's through a friend and wow am I glad. We came camping last weekend and it was lovely, we had a choice of having electric hook up. We were able to pick fresh strawberries while setting camp. It's quiet and peaceful with great views. We took a stroll up to the farm shop and my daughter loved the park, sand pit, goats and tractors. We picked fresh cherries, raspberries and strawberries and also had lunch in the cafe which was nice. The little shop has such wonderful local foods and drinks I wish I had more money to buy everything. Would highly recommend

Happened upon the farm shop and tea room more by accident than planned , but what a delight Great food shop with a nice selection food Tea room lovely food excellent quality and plentiful and the service was good too. Definitely will be going back highly recommend

Delicious homemade Sunday lunch, some nice additional touches - variety of veg served separately. Really tasty rhubarb and apple crumble. Much appreciated glass of wine and beer. Really hot plates and good service. Good value for money. Very enjoyable lunch.

We called in here and thought we would have a light Lunch, when we saw the Blackboard,we decided to have a Roast Lunch, My wife and I had the Roast Pork,which was Delightful, with wonderful Crackling and loads of Vegetables. Too finish, we had Apple and Blackberry Crumble which was superb.It was real home cooking, not your usual Break Brothers which you find so often these days. Will go back for sure.

The shop is well stocked with produce, meat and frozen foods. The cafe is very good you can have a light lunch, coffee, cakes and cream teas. There is fruit to pick in season and Christmas trees to buy at Christmas.

We happened across the farm shop, after seeing signs on the main road. Set off the main road in a village, this pick your own farm and farm shop has a nice cafe attached. It was full of families enjoying lunch and cream teas. We sat out on the small decking area, enjoying the hens that apparently drop in from neighbours. Food was not fancy, but was nice home made fare. We had a tasty quiche and plough mans lunch (£6 each). The decking is small without shade, but we enjoyed the spot overlooking a large grass garden and pick your own. There is a small track for child's to enjoy peddle tractors, that can be watched from the decking. Staff were bright, chatty and friendly. Home made cakes and food made this above average and a pleasant find.
