Talton Mill in Stratford-on-Avon

After experiencing the cafe on one of their club nights, myself and my husband were completely sold with Talton Mill Cafe as the venue for our wedding party. Fran and Liz headed the venue and their input was impeccable. Everything we loved about the place was brought to our day - a cosy vibe, relaxed, beautiful, and delicious! Everything on the menu was homemade and worked perfectly with the environment. Fran and Liz listened to our ideas and needs for the day and delivered. The weather wasn’t bad either!

We attended the recent barbecue evening, which was enjoyable but not quite as slickly organised as we'd hoped. The venue was rustic, an open air, but covered dining area that worked well. The food was delayed, but the band did not take the opportunity of filling the gap, so the evening started out with a long pause without food or entertainment. When the food was ready, it was served efficiently: lots of meat options, and very nice. But accompanied by supermarket bread rolls and salad - which seemed to be a missed opportunity. Also, the dessert was supermarket cheesecake and brownie. So, the food was not a culinary delight. There was a bar, with few non-alcoholic options. As the venue was remote, and needed cars to access, non-alcohol beer would have been useful. We saw the barman dip his hand into the ice bucket for the wine bottles to access ice for drinks which seemed dodgy hygiene. After dinner, the band started up, but seemed to be having trouble with their mixer, so it took a while before the atmosphere cranked up. Actually, the best part of the evening was the end, when the band loosened up, and the atmosphere was excellent.

We had our wedding reception at Talton Mill and it was wonderful. Fran and Liz where great the whole way through offering lots of reassurance and putting me at ease. The days itself was perfect the island was magical and the food was scrummy. If you’re looking for a charming spot without all the fuss of a traditional venue this is your place. Great food and drinks with a relaxed atmosphere.

Nos habíamos alojado en un hotel en los Cotswolds el fin de semana anterior, y habíamos disfrutado tanto de las salchichas que habíamos preguntado de dónde venían, y nos señalaron aquí. Decidió desayunar primero antes de comprar salchichas. Gloriosa mañana de otoño, no demasiado concurrida, una bienvenida encantadora, un personal muy agradable, la cafetería es bastante rústica pero espaciosa y limpia. La comida era excelente, fresca y muy sabrosa. Luego entró en la tienda de la granja y compró salchichas y algunas otras cosas, nuevamente, gente muy agradable. Gran valor en general. Estaremos de vuelta.

Desayunamos aquí el sábado. El personal se toma a covid muy en serio, usa máscaras, limpia adecuadamente los asientos, solicita los datos de contacto para rastrear y rastrear, solo usa sus asientos al aire libre. Me sentí muy seguro y genial para ver. El desayuno era delicioso, como de costumbre, aunque tardó un poco en llegar. Pero definitivamente vale la pena esperar.

This place has a real rustic charm about it, nestled in idyllic countryside by a little stream. It's lovely now and it's Winter, so my husband and I will definitely be returning back in the Spring and Summer. The two ladies that run the cafe are so friendly and welcoming, and the food was tasty and very generously portioned. I had a full breakfast and the high quality of the produce was obvious, especially the sausages! My husband had the special which was an Indonesian Penang curry. Again, superb and lots of flavour. The coffees we also both had hit the spot as well, and it was nice to see a local cafe using local coffee roasters. We will be back. Kate H

Place is a bit tired. First thing I noticed : everything outside is covered in green mildew. Ok its winter, but you still notice it. Doormat at front door was crooked, tired with leaves and twigs all over it and area unswept. Not important you may think, but is sets the tone and gets my antennae working. Inside : very pleasant attentive ladies behind the counter. Place pretty much deserted at lunchtime( Hmm !). Limited and expensive menu. Long wait for food. For crusty bread - read hard as rock. A huge pile of salad on a plate disguises not r an unspectacular dish. Altogether a very ordinary experience I am afraid. Which surpised and disappointed me. I suspect their breakfasts may be better than their lunches ?

Talton Mill is wonderful. Warm, friendly, great atmosphere and food! I love going there for a sneaky breakfast with my husband at the weekend, or going for cake and coffee with my daughter or friends. I can't recommend it enough!

Credit where it’s due indeed. How lucky we were to have found this excellent restaurant/cafe a few years back and have been regulars ever since...even though we live quite a few miles from Talton Mill the journey is well worth it. The English breakfast is outstanding with the Bacon and sausages produced from their own home reared free-range pigs and their own free-range eggs...I always have a portion of ‘Bubble and Squeak with my breakfast. Went to their recent ‘Roast-Beef sharing board’ event and as we are partial to a nice piece of beef with all the trimmings we were really looking forward to it....we were not disappointed....home reared beef with vegetables grown on the farm and Yorkshire puddings that even ‘out-classed’ my grandmothers...sorry Nan. Must ask them how they make their gravy....want that recipe. Well done Talton staff....who really looked after us. Can’t praise them enough....can’t wait for the next event.

I've been here a few times now and have enjoyed it every time. The food is delicious and the staff are friendly and efficient. There's s really lovely feel about the place. I took my brother in law, who fancies himself as a bit of a good critic and he loved it. I'll be back...

My girlfriend and I returned to yet another amazing Roast Beef Supper Night at Talton Mill. We just love these events!! What a wonderful evening filled with fantastic food and great entertainment, the roast beef cooked to perfection along with delicious veg and roasties. The chocolate brownie pud was superb. The staff are always so helpful and happy. The entertainment for the evening was a live band who were truly excellent and created a wonderful atmosphere. We have already booked our tickets for the next event so are looking forward to it!

Roast Beef supper event such a disappointment. Overcooked beef. Burnt roast potatoes. Yorkshire’s like flat squidgy pancakes. Bland veg ( may have been a catering pack). The brownie pudding so hard you couldn’t get a spoon into it. Tables packed together no elbow room. Service so slow arrived at 7:00 and got luke warm food around 9:00 pm. They now have a pay for bar. Over priced bottles of beer, you used to be able to take your own alcohol. Never again. Lots of people complaining. We spent almost £100 with drinks, we could have had a nice meal at a lovely pub nearby for that, rather than being crammed into a wooden hut with hard chairs and harsh lighting.

I hired Talton Mill for my 40th birthday party, with 40 guests. Everyone loved the setting and atmosphere in the informal cafe, and there was space for children to run around and enjoy the stream outside. We were provided with lots of great food - a bbq of meat from the farm and range of salads, plus amazing chocolate brownie and pavlova. The team were so helpful in all the organising, and I look forward to returning.

Wow we went with friends who said it was good it was very good. Good portion size lots of fresh produce and piping hot. Prompt calm service and we stayed about 2 hours. Well worth being introduced to. Recommend it highly sets you up for the day !

We went for lunch yesterday and had a really lovely time food excellent and very satisfying. Beautiful cakes could have eaten all of them so delicious. Fran and her team looked after us so well. We have also been to their supper clubs which are so much fun. Good food great atmosphere with really great entertain with fabulous surroundings. Well worth a visit highly recommend it.

I had a wonderful birthday lunch here with a group of 8 friends. We sat outside, where my friends children enjoyed the chickens and playing poo-sticks over the stream. We all enjoyed a very generously portioned lunch, with the pork and beef coming from the farm. With provenance being very important to me, this was a real highlight. GF and vegan friends were catered for without any issue. Lovely friendly service. Highly recommend.

A nice coffee with avocado on toasted sour dough!

We visited the cafe as we pass their sign most days and like to visit local places. The welcome was friendly and the coffee and tea were very good. I was looking forward to the bacon "sarnie" and expecting some lovely crusty farmhouse bread with thick bacon considering the £5.95 price tag. So was disappointed with the 2 slices of regular sliced bread and bacon, which needed the fat taking off. This is in a lovely quiet spot, and can only comment on what I eat but for what I had I know I can get better elsewhere and sadly will not be visiting again. Disappointed!

Made a visit to this place a mission, having toured the area researching coffee and cake for weeks and not been near on a day they were open. Well from now on this Cafe will be the Friday destination; excellent cake and coffee, tranquil location and friendly humans at the helm.

Visited on Saturday afternoon and had the hot food special which was pulled pork, Apple and stuffing roll and my nan had the open cheese and onion sandwich. It was enjoyed by both of us. Came with a salad with nice dressing and homemade coleslaw.

Locally sourced produce, cooked fresh to order, makes Talton Mill Cafe’s breakfast one of the best there is! They also serve really good coffee, & the homemade cakes are to die for! All served in comfortable surroundings, by welcoming and friendly staff.

We were staying at the hotel nearby and went for a walk stumbling on this cafe. It is only open Fri and Sat so we decided to go back for lunch. We are glad we did, fresh homemade food made with care!

Lovely rural venue, rustic cafe limited menu but great food lovely friendly staff and good value. The all day breakfast is fantastic, good quality and not greasy.

Been going for a long time and the food the service and the people are all brilliant. If you want cheap this isn't for you but if you want 'home reared' and 'home made' top quality food served by Fran & Liz and the rest of the TM Team in a rather unique environment then this is the place for you.

We arrived at the location it was wet & windy, the cafe is what looks like 3 sheds sat near the entrance to a farm, we weren't sure if it was the correct place at first, we parked up & headed in & were pleasantly surprised, its cosy & has a cottage feel about it, shortly after being sat at our table we had our orders taken by the friendly staff, my wife ordered the Full English £8.95 ( 2x Bacon, 1x Sausage ,1 Egg, Beans, Tomatos, Mushrooms, 2 Slices Toast) I had the Extra Full English £12.95 (2x Bacon, 2x Sausage ,2 Egg, Beans, Tomato's, Mushrooms, 2 Slices Toast, Black Pudding) i did think the Extra breakfast was expensive but ordered it to see, well when it arrived i wasn't expecting two giant sausages which felt a bit to much but if i’d ordered the other breakfast & added Black Pudding at £1.50 your paying £1.50 for an extra giant sausage & an extra egg which make it not to bad but drinks are on top, i would expect free Tea & Coffee with the breakfast as my breakfast ended up being £16! we also wanted to order food for our 2 year old & asked for an Omelette & yet again another place that DONT make them, i don't see how its so hard & time consuming to make an omelette, its really not! Anyway we ordered scrambled eggs on toast for him, food was served reasonably quick but our little boys food was served last which you always hope is first as it can be hard work trying keep him occupied but as soon as food arrived he was happy as larry, the food in general was very good & was proper local farm butchers ingredients, but the bacon was a little over cooked & abit chewy but I'm sure it was an off day.

Only open Friday and Saturday. Excellent food and drink in a gorgeous environment, the cappuccino is the best in Stratford. Lovely artisan gifts to browse and the butchery is top notch albeit a little pricey. Definitely recommend.

Much needed break from the old routine. Used excuse of having guests to visit Talton Mill for a hearty breakfast. Such delicious produce, straight from the owners farm. Great selection for breakfast or lunch, cooked to order and washed down wIth quality coffee. Appreciated good food, relaxed setting and friendly service. Could turn a rare treat into a delightful habit.

Not to everyone's taste, not fast food or service. However if time is not a problem this is a must try place.

Interesting place! Packed on a wet Saturday mid moning. Guess I was slightly disappointed. Long wait to be served but it was busy and there were profound apologies

Artisan cafe on a farm in an informal setting in the countryside serving breakfast ,brunch and lunch on Fridays and Saturdays only. The cafe was busy when we visited- not surprising given the quality of the brunch. Food is cooked to order so it can take a little while if they are busy- but well worth the wait. All meat is from the farm- reared and cured. The bacon and sausages were delicious. Add on the bubble and squeak! Portions are generous with plenty of warm buttered toast. A proper farmhouse breakfast. Visit the farm shop when you have the finished- the steak we bought was some of the tastiest we have ever had!

Visited here after being recommended by a friend, and what a find!

The Talton Mill I understand this restaurant offers lunch and dinner, however as yet we have only tried breakfast. And what a breakfast, good portions, cooked well and full bodied cup of tea (tea leaves) add lovely views to the good quality food and you are on to a winner.

Our first of many visits to the Talton Mill, the owners Fran and Liz lead a very friendly team who provide an excellent level of service.

Saw this place on Facebook and decided to try it out. Why did I wait so long. It's fab. Plumped for the EXTRA breakfast and so pleased I was greedy as this had the most beautiful black pudding with it.

We had a delicious family lunch in The Mill Woodhouse Cafe at Talton Mill. I had delicious pulled pork in a brioche bun, my wife loved her slow cooked shredded beef in a ciabatta roll with a ‘dollop’ of horse radish creme fraiche. Both were served with an eye catching selection of tasty salads. Our kids chose the Talton Full English breakfast. My! What a treat! Home cured bacon from their own pigs, sausages from the same and all the trimmings. It was a proper farm breakfast. Their helpful and friendly staff were super too. This is one gem that we shall no doubt return to again and again ... truly excellent!

We stopped off for a late breakfast today and we were surprised that this place was not higher up the trip advisor list. We had the full breakfast and coffees to go with it and could not fault the quality of everything that came to our table. Lovely setting on a working farm, we will definitely being going back and looking at trying one of the supper clubs. If you are looking for a quality locally sourced breakfast, look no further- they even had gluten free sausages!

We regularly pop over for breakfast on a Saturday morning. Good service, great fresh food, well worth a visit (and we pop in to the butchers afterwards).

My son and I went in for breakfast on Saturday morning - lovely rustic cafe with excellent menu. My son had the all day breakfast which he wid was delicious - eggs, bacon, etc. all local and very enerous portion. In fact we met one of the hens as we parked the car!! I had a bacon sandwich which really was delicious ad the bacon well cooked and crisp as I requested

Talton Mill is split into three main parts: farm, butchery and kitchen.

Zoe Ball recently said on TV that the bacon sandwich she had at Talton Mill Farm shop was the best she’d ever tasted. I agree wholeheartedly. The service and quality of the food cannot be equalled locally. We’re already looking forward to our next visit.

Recently visited the Talton mill with a few friends, and the experience we had surpassed our expectations by a country mile.

A couple of friends and I decided to get away for the weekend and visit the country and were delighted to spend some time on this beautiful farm which had a cafe and butchers. This place is definitely worth a stop if you're down this way! There were a huge selection of home baked cakes that were just made to such delicious perfection - my only regret was not having more Tiffin. It was lovely to see the pride the cafe and butcher owners took in their work, I think it really came through in creating a warm and lovely atmosphere.

Got overcharged,, queried my recipt but not happy,,, or treated with respect,,, l needed 7/8 refund but they would only agree to 2/50,,,lv been loyal customer for several years and that obviously mean a thing so won't go again as treated so unfair,,,, stuff is overpriced anyway and not even organic,,, highly recommend Hunscot farm by Wellesbourne airport,,, fairly priced and excellent service and no quibble if any probs arise

We were on our way up to Stratford upon Avon and the road being closed at Moreton in the Marsh we were diverted via Chipping Norton. Getting a bit peckish as it was around lunchtime we decided to stop here for a bite to eat. We were not disappointed with what we found. The tea was delicious as were the cakes and unlike most of the cafes attached to farm shops it was not overpriced. Staff were friendly and efficient. We were glad we found it.

We decided to call in for afternoon tea whilst travelling between Oxford and Solihull. the garden shop was good, the food was not oversized, tasteless and perfect looking. when we got the veggies hoe they had a lot more taste to them than the supermarket specimens. We were quite late into the cafe but it was delightful, well priced and the Victoria sandwich was delicious with a good choice of teas. The staff were lovely and friendly. We even saw some interesting birds on the stream by the cafe and the staff were helping us identify them. A lovely visit - pity I am not that way more often.

Visited due to a Groupon voucher, not a place I would normally have thought to visit but would certainly return if passing. The food, drinks and service were very good. In particular the soup and sandwiches ! Delicious.

we found this little place just by chance on a very wet Friday afternoon. The tea room was cosy and warm and the lady working there was friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent ,so much so we returned the next day for coffee and cake on the way home. We will definitely return here the next time we are in the area.

We were passing by on our from Oxford to home and dropped in to go to the shop.

Our daughter gave us a voucher for a summer lunch; this included soup, sandwiches, sausage roll and scone. The food was excellent and the service if slow (we didn't mind at all) very friendly. We were surprised to be given a voucher for a dozen eggs from the adjacent farm shop if we bought £10 worth of goods. This was easy to do as the quality of the goods there matched that of the cafe. Given that the area is very beautiful we felt the ambiance was not first class and had a run down feeling about it. However, the experience was a good one and good value overall. If coming from Stratford try to take the first marked turn to Talton Mill as the second was confusing.

Lovely food, gorgeous gin. I wanted more of both.

We went to Talton Mill for a winter warmer lunch with a Groupon voucher, bit difficult to find, but it is opposite Ettington Park entrance, and it is in the old farm shop building, basically it is a big shed. The staff are very friendly, and the food is home made. We had soup, a selection of sandwiches, with tea or coffee and a brownie, it was all delicious, and the food being brought out for others looked equally as good.

Went to this little gem with the family for a meal and to do some shopping the food was excellent, well presented, tasty and plentiful. The restaurant is spacious well set out and the service from the staff was both prompt helpful and very friendly.

This hidden gem just outside Stratford upon Avonis full of rustic charm. The food is very good and the people very friendly.

Treated friends to a 'winter warmer lunch' for my birthday. Delicious home made soup, sandwiches, warm sausage roll, chocolate brownie and cream. lovely friendly and efficient staff, rustic decor, clean and bright. Pretty setting. They had been flooded day before but you wouldn't have known as everything was spotless. Visited farm shop and the same warm friendly atmosphere, delicious looking fresh vegetables and wonderful array of fresh meat and deli. will be going again...probably try the breakfast next time.

My girlfriend and I visited Talton Mill for lunch one day having bought a voucher online. Having never visited before we weren't entirely sure what to expect, but in the end we needn't have worried. The place is definitely a hidden treasure - close enough to drive to easily but far enough out of the way to feel like a small country getaway. The food on offer was of a very good standard thanks to the quality of the ingredients used. The cafe itself was warm and cozy and the shop was an added bonus. Definitely worth a trip out of town for this one :)

Came here with a friend on a Saturday afternoon for an afternoon tea offer we brought off groupon. What an amazing deal & value for money. The food was gorgeous & very nicely presented. A lovely selection of toasted sandwiches & sweets. The little cafe is very clean & cosy. It was lovely to try something different & the service was excellent. Will return in the future. Lovely place.

Having had an excellent Meal on a Groupon offer earlier in the year we decided to take the family out on the offer for Festive Tea. We were not disappointed. The food was again superb and especially the toasted sandwiches which made a lovely change, This cafe and farm shop is only just off the main road and well worth a visit to enjoy rustic high quality food and service in the cafe and an excellent selection in the farm shop. Give these people a go, they are trying hard to make it work and deserve your support.

I don't eat meat unless I know where it was reared and what happens to it afterwards. Here the meat is home reared and only takes a short trip down the road to be humanely made into what I take home! Produce is all home grown so I'm supporting local farmers which for me is important. Service with a smile! These guys make me feel very welcome. You must try the cafe too, fantastic home made cakes a goodies.

We had a Groupon voucher for an Afternoon Tea for two, what a bargain. Good quality tea served in china cups. So much food that we had to ask for a doggy bag! Freshly made sandwiches, made with homemade bread, and very generously filled - cheese & chutney, Turkey & cranberry, egg & crests & ham and mustard. Fresh, warm homemade scones with jam and cream. Homemade mince pies,delicious walnut cake and chocolate brownies, with the added bonus of fresh strawberries! We will definitely be back. Nice little farm shop too, with local produce, baked goods, butchery etc, well worth a visit.
