The Farm Burscough in West Lancashire

We were visiting WWT Martin Mere and were looking for a cafe for breakfast to set us up for a day of walking and bird watching. We found ‘The Farm’ online and headed there on our way. When you arrive it doesn’t look much from the outside, but once you walk through the door it is welcoming, cosy and has a lot to offer. We ordered Full English Breakfast and it was very tasty and nicely presented. It came with toast which was a nice bonus, as so many places now you have to order it separately. There is a small farm shop which forms part of the cafe and has a nice range of local produce including small gifts and cards. We bought a couple of Rhubarb Pies to take away with us and they were delicious too! Would definitely recommend this establishment.

We previously visited here and found it lovely. However, we took an elderly relative here for lunch. It wasn’t too busy, just a few people in. We ordered our food, nothing fancy or which required special preparation and cooking, a sausage and chips, chicken wrap and ham, egg and chips. The order was placed at exactly 1pm. At 1.45, after someone who had arrived and ordered after us was tucking into their food, I went inside to enquire about the whereabouts of our food. I was told that they had had a busy spell, but it didn’t look any busier. I did notice some plates under the warmer in the kitchen. By the time I sat back down, our food arrived behind me. Quite clearly it had been sat under the warmer for some considerable time judging by the fact that everything looked dried out. To be fair it all tasted ok, but there was no gourmet food here, bog standard grub. It spoilt it and spoilt the treat for the elderly relative. It’s a lovely place with a lovely outdoor area. Since my first glowing review I’ve been with a friend on the bikes and there was a considerable wait for a brew and a bacon butty. And, it is not cheap. Our three plain meals, with two coffees and three soft drinks cost over £55. That’s pub prices. Would we return? Yes, if riding past we’ll stop for a coffee, but wouldn’t return for a meal. Especially when there’s a brilliant cafe just over five minutes up the road on the industrial estate, Tour de Franks. That’s where we will head next time we take the relative out. Sorry but I have to be honest.

They take too long to respond to queries. I rang them to inquire for camping with a group and I was asked to email them. 11 days later I ring them again as I didn't get any response on my email (that they asked me send) and I was told yet to wait for a few more days. Disappointed!

Stayed overnight rooms clean and comfortable breakfast was excellent product cooked to our liking would definitely stay again

The site itself is in a lovely location with farm animals in an adjacent field which the kids will like. There's a play area here for kids too, but the grass was quite long (the grass everywhere else was short, which we couldn't understand) with some rubbish on the floor. We did really enjoy our stay here and there's a nice farm shop and cafe too. The only big downside was the state of the toilets, which were abysmal. Clearly hadn't been cleaned for some days, at least, prior to us arriving and still hasn't been cleaned when we left after 4 nights. It's a real shame because we'd like to visit the area again, but would probably look to camp elsewhere based solely on the state of the loos.

The cafe is over priced and not good value for money. Breakfast was Very basic and £9.95 for full English without a drink? Whilst waiting to pay i noticed a selection of cakes priced at £1.70. That's reasonable however if you eat in the price almost doubles to £3.50? Sadly I won't be returning! Far better places to eat Locally

Terrible campsite, toilets awful rubbish everywhere and sick hanging in a bag by our pitch is not nice. Not a taken care of site at all.

We discovered the farm whilst out walking, I had heard about it from fellow cyclists. Lovely setting down a quiet lane. The outdoor seating area is lovely, with a covered area and a cobbled yard with plenty of tables. We’ve stopped by a few times, only having coffees, toasted tea cakes and a bacon butty once. The menu looks very good, the cakes look lovely, the inside is very welcoming and the staff all seem friendly. All in all a great little place. I think cafes are by and large better than most pubs now, offering home cooked food, at a better price in lovely surroundings.

Lovely campsite with cafe onsite. Farm animals. Dog friendly (on leads) Basic but clean and perfectly adequate facilities. Beautiful walks from site.

Nice room. Nice food. Nice people. Will definitely be using again.

Had a full English, quality of food was excellent and cooked just the way I asked. Friends also enjoyed their meals of two small breakfasts with tea..tea came with water jug to top up the pot..wish they did pancakes as a alternative.

Lovely warm and friendly welcome and fabulous scones. All the cakes looked homemade and yummy. A hidden gem near Burscough.

Stayed one night, lovely stay ,provided with everything you need, nice quiet area

Excellent breakfasts this morning , great service , one of Burscoughs hidden gems

Lovely morning at The Farm, delicious breakfast. We were all made to feel very welcome and the boys played on the playground while we waited. Went to visit the donkey and another playground then mouthwatering ice cream, new favourite flavour- ginger 😋 and a walk across the fields. Absolutely beautiful, we’ll be back very soon!

Home cooking and delicious. My husband and I both had the suet steak and kidney pudding which was absolutely delicious. Homemade chips perfect, fresh vegetables tasty. It was all pipping hot. Looking at what other people where having it all looked good. Staff are very efficient and friendly. Would definitely recommend and looking forward to going back in the future.

We had the toastie and the large breakfast. Breakfast was superb, all fresh locally sourced ingredients. There Was a slight wait for the food however it was busy with a couple of big tables and the staff were very attentive. Would definitely come back as we couldn't fault the food.

Lovely Birthday breakfast with my daughters. Coffee is fantastic and had the big breakfast which was very filling. If you have young ones buy a few carrots in the shop and visit the friendly donkey at the back.

Great food and good service and great staff

Ideal B&B for a night's stay, a comfortable twin room, with a good shower attached. Really nice breakfast and excellent service from the staff.

I had a very nice coffee and teacake here in a pleasant and friendly teashop. My friend had stayed in the b and b, which she was very happy with. The location feels remote,

Out of the way up a pot hold track above a farm/shop cafe. V good value for money includes a great breakfast. Clean room and bathroom, twin beds as requested, lovely staff. Will definitely use again despite the dreary location.

I visited the cafe late morning. There was a good menu choice. The food was excellent as was the service by the staff. Recommended.

We’ve been going here since it opened, and it’s always been good, whether simply having beans on toast, or something more adventurous, quality and freshness never fails, and it’s all backed up with a nice shop.

Nice little cafe food was excellent staff friendly. Good choice including Sunday lunch/main meals

Lovely place for family and friends to meet and eT. Fantastic customer service.

Great bacon and egg sandwich spoiled by staff who despite lots of previous visits make no greeting or smile.

Friendly staff, great service and good food.

Good place, following our walk, nice coffee and cake. Also good selection in the shop, so have stocked up on bread, biscuits and pie's 🥧

2 years on the run, and we love the place. Definitely be back next year.

On holiday in the area. Stopped here for breakfast based on the good trip advisor reviews, and not disappointed. Good quality tasty breakfast, not overpriced. Friendly staff. What's not to like?

Real gem of a place, fantastic little farm shop and cafe, additional bonus if a number if unique small businesses in site

Thank you so much for a beautiful lunch today - all homemade to order flan, sandwich and stunning cakes. Nothing was too much trouble and we were made SO welcome. Would love to go again soon, highly recommended x

The Farm Burscough is a great cafe with plenty of outside seating if the weather is good enough for sitting outside. The menu is ample, and the food and service are really good, as are the options of coffee to choose from. The place is a little hidden as it's down a narrow lane, but there is a sign posted at the beginning of the lane. Well, it's worth a visit if you're passing or in the area.

Is it hotel? We were on a bike ride and wanted cake... On arrival, we met the welcoming committee. First impressions told us to turn around. But we didn't. It's pretty expensive for what it is. It's nothing special but It's clean with a good menu choice. Plenty of cakes, ice creams, milkshakes, paninis, etc. The welcoming committee turned out to be friendly and helpful in the end

Camped for the weekend. There was only one shower for all the campers which was dirty. Doesn't appear to be a site curfew as groups were still making noise and playing music well after midnight. Potential to be a really good campsite however we ended up packing up a day early and probably won't return.

Clean. Comfortable. Good service and food. The yurt is amazing - bring a torch

Called in today for coffee and cake after seeing the reviews, we were not disappointed as the fruit pie with custard, Sherry Trifle and coffee were the best we have had in along time. The other patrons food looked nice as well. The waitress was really lovely, informative and attentive. The toilets are spotless and the farm shop has a good selection of fresh produce. I can highly recommend this tea room and will visit again soon.

We've been to The Farm lots of times, though not recently. We were surprised to see the prices of food have rocketed since we were there over 12 months ago and not by inflationary levels. £5.50 for half a bowl of soup (very nice) and a slice of dry supermarket bread. Staff were very nice and the outside area has been tarted up since our last visit. Shame really as it's always been a good place to ride to. Can't see us going back anytime soon.

Beef mushroom and onion pie from the specials board - excellent homemade grub!

Had a lovely lunch, friendly staff, recommend to visit;you will not be disappointed. Browse around the farm shop which is full of lovely products. Will return again.

Had a nice lunch out at this farm coffee shop/ restaurant both had jacket potato with prawns and salad followed by Raspberry and peach cake served with custard and millionaire shortbread which were very tasty. The place was very.clean and service was very quick will definitely come again

Great little campsite tucked away just off the Leeds Liverpool Canal. Very paddler friendly as it is only a short walk to the site!

We enjoyed an early lunch here. The food and service were very good. I had the full English which was great and my husband had a very meaty steak and ale pie. It was definitely a drive out of our way

Fabulous home cooked food. All day breakfast very reasonable and good choice of specials. The ham, egg and chips is amazing. Staff friendly and attentive and a lovely place to have lunch and buy good quality food from the farm shop. Not open evenings.

Fantastic breakfast using their own produce, friendly staff and affordable prices.

Great breakfasts and afternoon teas! Lovely staff.

Lovely farm cafe. Staff helpfull and welcoming. Food really nice and home cooked. Will certainly be back. Shop worth visiting too.

Nice breakfast, good quality ingredients. Portions could be bigger for a "large" breakfast but I am greedy.

Quality without compromise. Stunning bacon toastie. A beautiful clean establishment. Not a stone left unturned. Staff are friendly, welcoming yet professional. Take a trip for yourselves please. The shop has a great selection of cakes, vegetables and much more. A real pleasure to be able to give a positive review!

Expensive. Slow service. Small portions. Warm, though.

Lovely little farm shop and cafe.

Had breakfast today. Friendly staff and delicious food x

Tucked away down country lanes,a wonderful cafe, fabulous food, clean and friendly service.

As Good As It Gets. Perfect food and service everything. Our favourite stop before the long drive South. Thank you all and see you next time X

Excellent pies and a great cafe

Homemade food, Local produce and friendly staff. Lovely little farm shop next door, try the homemade pies

First time at the Farm and it won't be the last. Lovely tasty breakfast and friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit ☺️

A very pleasant and comfortable stay. All the staff were extremely helpful and obliging. We would certainly recommend it to others.

Excellent selection of lunch time food, Sausage egg and chips, wonderful. Good value. I believe that they now do bed & breakfast. Friendly and courteous staff

Excellent food, very reasonable price and friendly helpful staff. Highly recommended..

Great afternoon tea in a lovely place. Thanks

Just spent 3 nights here and couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Lovely clean room and so quiet at night. A fine breakfast served in the tearoom each morning and a chance to chat with the members of the family who run this hidden gem

Worth finding! Good place to visit with children, who like the farm animals, very popular with walkers and cyclists. Good walks near by. Tasty food cooked on the premises and friendly, efficient service. Pleasant outdoor eating areas and homely atmosphere inside. Parking available. Good farm shop attached. Enjoy meeting friends here.

What a delightful little gem this place is, although off the beaten track it will be well worth your time. After a disappointing trip to infusions bistro in Burscough village we spotted this place on Google maps and popped over. The place consists of a farm shop, B&B and tea Room. The tea Room displayed a high level of hygiene with floors, tables and counters all immaculate we could even see staff cleaning and polishing when they had a spare minute. The coffee was lovely with the large size offering a generous portion and the ambiance inside was a cosy farmhouse style atmosphere. Ice cream, hot food and cakes are also available and there is a play area outside for children. Edit we have recently visited again and although still good we found raised prices now mean this establishment now offers only average value for money compared to the competition.

Excellent service and good food

Very good breakfast lovely staff

Had a lovely short stay, nice room very friendly and helpful staff..caters well those of us with allergens (eg gluten and diary)..Good food, the Full English is just that! Will stay there again when we are next up in that area..

Lovely little farm great quiet place with donkeys lamas chickens. Facilities are dated but clean

First time in almost 3 years ... and the omelette & chips was as scummy as I remember.. thank you 👍

Just had a beautiful prosecco afternoon tea here. Sat outside in the sunshine which was lovely. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. Lovely sandwiches, pork pies, sausage rolls, scones with cream and jam and homemade cakes. We couldn't finish it all so they kindly boxed up the remaining cakes to bring home and even made our coffees to go! Will definitely return soon. A true hidden gem!

Lovely farm shop. Quiet campsite. Great staff. Thank you.

Amazing veggie breakfast! One of my favourites.

Fabulous little treasure shared by a good friend. Never knew it existed. Delicious food in a lovely atmosphere. Can’t wait to bring the hubby for breakfast

Went for lunch today with my partner and mum , the food was of outstanding quality for all of our meals , the girls are very polite and friendly the ambiance is lovely very welcoming and warm 10 out of 10 will be visiting again soon thank you

Good honest and very fresh farm food served in a warm and friendly cafe. We will come back.

We have visited before and enjoyed meals from a varied menu. Sadly, despite lockdowns and covid restrictions no longer being mandatory, the menu is still far more limited. The food ws very good and well presented. Unfortunately while it was very windy and the rain was pouring down the door was kept wide open causing the whole room to be freezing cold. Most customers had to keep their overcoats on throughout their meals as a result. Reasonably priced fayre in what would be pleasant conditions on a warm sunny day .There is a farm shop adjacent to the cafe but there is no entry from the cafe. I presume there is another entrance on the far side of the complex but it wasn't worth venturing round in the prevailing conditions. Luckily there are several other farm shops in the area.

Clean, good choice menu, well prepared and cooked friendly staff. Had many meals at the Farm and every one tasty and well cooked. Thank you.

Lovely breakfasts with fresh local food

Brilliant service good home cooked food and huge salads

Lovely place to stay and eat .Wonderful, attentive staff who all made us feel welcome.Great setting 10/10 we,ll certainly be back

Good facilities good land for camping and caravaning reasonable prices per night

We had a lovely lunch here. The food was delicious

As always, this place never disappoints. We visited recently with family to celebrate my Mum’s birthday. We all opted for the full breakfast, which was delicious and served promptly and efficiently. All of the items on the menu are locally sourced and are of the highest quality. If you’re ever in the area, I would highly recommend visiting this place. However, it does seem to get very busy, especially at weekends, so it’s worth booking in advance, as we did.

Thank you for a enjoyable, very relaxing stay. Staff went above and beyond and I would look forward to staying again, our kids really wish to return. Thank you to Freda and staff for such an enjoyable short stay.

Great food and great friendly staff

Lovely, homely and friendly accomadation. Family run but every member of staff went 120% to make us comfortable and answer any queries we had, especially directions!!. Our bedroom was comfortable and had all our needs. In a real farm in a country setting it was a treat to be in the peace and quiet for a couple of days Food was delicious and plentiful and cooked to your liking in the quaint tea room. Will definitely stay again. Recommended ++++

Great place to source local and handmade products. The cafe next door does a great breakfast too

Broke our journey further north here for a night. I was brought up nearby & wanted to have a quick look around Southport. This was ideal & so glad we booked. Very, very quiet location but not that far away from places to eat etc. Convenient for M6 & Southport. Good sized room & everything you needed. Nice, large bed. Decent TV. Plenty of shower gel etc in the good, small bathroom. Excellent breakfast & really good value for money. Lovely family run it as part of their farm & we'd definitely return if we pay another visit to Southport.

Small pleasant campsite, shop, cafe/restaurant with other outlets on site including dog grooming, massage/physio. Nice walks around the area and along the canal to the Farmers Arms. Handy for Martin Mere too.

A good cafe that serves tasty food and decent coffee with a bonus farm shop too. The B& B is excellent value too with a clean, well-appointed room. There's a bonus day's fishing on offer through the B & B if so desired

We stayed in the B&B, the room was lovely and clean and all the staff were helpful and friendly. The breakfast was amazing. We will definitely stay here again.

Lovely stay and an all round lovely place. Very accommodating with great communication. Excellent food. Wouldn't hesitate to visit again. Thank you to all of the team.

We stayed for one night at The Farm and it was perfect for what we needed….somewhere clean, comfortable and a great location near enough to Southport. The owner was welcoming and made us an extra early breakfast to see us on our way. Highly recommended.

Great place, good food at OK prices
