The Ginger Cow Company in East Riding of Yorkshire

An amazing weekend of relaxing!! Cat & Andy were so lovely and attentive! The set up was great with everything you could need for the best glamping experience! The animals were truly lovely - we spent a lot of time with their goats. They where so cute 🙂

People, I just can't say enough about this place, Beautiful surroundings set in the middle of peace and tranquility valley. Three lovely lads, Dave, Roo and Wonky are a pleasure to meet as are the hosts Cat and Andy, but the piece du resistance is the amazing shepherds hut, BBQ and Hot Tub, book up early as places go fast, but an experience you will never forget, already booked up for next year. York is only 30 mins away so again a great location, my fiance and myself had the best of times there. If you have a bucket list then add The Ginger Cow to it right now 👍🏻

Fantastic place can't recommend enough, if I could I would give it 10 stars. Hosts was brilliant and very welcoming, nothing was to much trouble. The afternoon Tea was amazing plenty of choice of sandwiches and cakes. The highland cows was amazing they loved the carrots we was able to feed them, we learned so much about them and overall the experience was amazing. Would highly recommend.

My auntie gifted my mum a Highland Cow experience for her birthday but didn’t fancy going so my mum took me instead (auntie K, you REALLY missed out!) When we arrived we were greeted by Cat who is absolutely lovely, and we sat outside to have our afternoon tea as the weather was glorious. There was plenty of delicious food and I drank way too much coffee. After we finished Andy took us across to see Roo, David and Wonk and we fed them carrots from a bucket. We learned so much about the highland cows and living with them as pets. Roo was my absolute favourite while my mum took a shine to David, think she would have brought him home had they let her. We also met the goats too, too cute! Definitely worth visiting if you get the opportunity, and there’s also two air bnbs on the grounds that look amazing to stay in so we may be back! Cat and Andy were so welcoming and friendly, thank you so much for a perfect afternoon 🧡

Wow wow wow! We came today to do the Highland cow experience and it was absolutely amazing. Andy and Cat are so friendly and welcoming and Roo, Wonky and Dave are adorable. Getting to feed them and learn about them is so lovely and Andy is so great at telling you all about them and the farm making it a really fun experience! We then got to sit in the sunshine and enjoy the delicious afternoon tea, everything was so tasty! Cannot recommend Ginger Cow Company enough!

Thoroughly enjoyed the highland cow afternoon tea experience, it was the perfect birthday present for my mum! Cat was super friendly and accommodating and the food she made was delicious! Definitely recommend visiting!

The Ginger Cow Company provided the catering for a family party. The food was delicious! Cat was really helpful and had no problem providing for vegans, vegetarians, and food intolerances. Would definitely use them again.

The setting, food and hospitality provided were second to none. Cat ensured everything ran smoothly and even procured a football when she overheard one of our party mentioning they'd like to practice some footie moves. All of the guests had a wonderful time and my 2 1/2 year great grandson found plenty to do. The Ginger Cow would definitely be our first choice for any future celebrations.

Wow what an experience! Right off the bat we met such a lovely lady who introduced us to the cows (Roo, Dave & Wonky!) we got so much information about them and we even got to feed them some carrots! I even got a cheeky stroke from Roo as well! I’ve loved cows since I was a child and Highland cows have always been my favourite! Next we got shown to our lovely little hut which was so cozy and quiet! There were games, books a VERY comfy double bed and even some home made baked goods! (THANK YOU!) it even has a little diary in there which people had written in which was a lovely touch There is a shower and toilet in there, kettle, sink, microwave and other little bits that you might need while staying there! I can’t recommend enough using the hot tub and BBQ! The fairy lights make it come alive, the Bluetooth is built into the hot tub as well with different lights! LUXURY! All in all it was one of the best stays I’ve had and I can’t thank you guys enough! 10/10 experience

Visited yesterday for an afternoon tea treat given to me as a gift for my birthday. Thank you Cat for your hospitality, food was yummy but the best bit for me was seeing the highland cows. Learnt so much about these fascinating and beautiful animals. If you like good food with a visit to see the highland cows then visit this place you won’t be disappointed

Takeaway afternoon tea. Lovely afternoon tea with a selection of sandwiches, scones and spreads and delicious cakes, all packaged well in plastic trays to allow us to take away with us on our day out! Great presentation and taste! Thank you.

Cat was fabulous from the beginning, so helpful with organising, and the day went brilliantly. All the guests said how lovely everything was. Thank you soooo much. x

Looking for somewhere to hold our 40th anniversary party we were recommended the ginger cow and we were not disappointed. From the first enquiry to the end of the event Cat could not have been more helpful. The combination of indoor and outdoor space in a beautiful setting could not have worked better on a sunny June afternoon. Cat is more than happy to advise on food and again we were not disappointed. Everything was delicious and extremely fresh. Every one of our 32 quests praised the food and the setting. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect afternoon.

60th Birthday Buffet Lunch and Follow on Afternoon Tea for 30 people. A pre planned event, good up front meeting with the venue with helpful suggestions from them. A good flexible menu was available to choose from and as we had some attendees with special dietary requirements these were included in the plan and delivered on the day. The food was excellent as was the help from the staff on the day. The event ran smoothly and was very successful with many positive comments from the attendees. We had agreed with the venue to provide takeaway boxes at the end which were well utilised by most attendees. A good relaxed enjoyable time, we will happily use them again.

Absolutely lovely little gem of a place. Cat was so helpful from start to finish and could not have done anymore to help us. The food was amazing and presented beautifully.

Cat was wonderful. From the start. The venue is stunning set in beautiful surroundings. There is flexibility and a real can do attitude. The food was amazing and tea and coffee kept flowing. We were an eclectic group aged 2-80 we had veggies and a gluten free person and this was no problem. We had children they were no problem. Nothing was a problem and the surprise party went without hitch and moreover was just brilliant. It was very good value. It was so lovely having just us in a space we could laugh and talk and the children could run around. So thank you cat for this special day and some wonderful memories.

Nice trip out for light lunch, coffee and cake. Few of us had the Ploughman’s salad which the spot. Wasn’t as filling or as plentiful as would have hope for price, but was tasty. Amazing how many cafe’s serve bang average coffee! Not a problem here - good selection of home made cakes, and the coffee and tea was decent.

Really felt unwelcome as a single customer,the staff said most of the very few tables were reserved indoors so I sat outside and waited ages to be served, I was not impressed with what you get for price and won't be back.

It's off the beaten track but we'll worth it once you arrive. In the carpark which has plenty of spaces over looks the farmers fields with afew of the Highland cows. A wonderful sights for all. There is outdoor & indoor seating with a fenced area for the children to run around and play. Very friendly and welcoming staff who are very helpful. Plenty of choice on the menu as well as a good selection of cakes on display. Definitely worth a visit on a summers day , and I'll hopefully be visiting again and if passing.

We stayed at the Shepards Hut and it was THE best weekend, the attention to detail was amazing, the bed was so comfy, everything was clean. Andy & Cat are such lovely hosts, advised nice places to go in the area, nice walks ect. We had breakfast in the tea rooms and the food was gorgeous! The service was amazing too. I would 100% recommend and we will definitely be returning! Thankyou again! 😁

We had afternoon tea on Sunday afternoon. From the point of booking to leaving we received a very friendly welcoming service. The afternoon tea was gorgeous especially the cakes! Highly recommend this place. thank you

Wonderful find! We were looking for somewhere different for lunch and were not dissapointed! Worth the 50 minute drive that's for sure! Very welcoming! Gorgeous food and great value! Highly recommend

I went here for lunch, it is fabulous food. The staff are wonderful and so helpful and friendly. I highly recommend a visit here

We had a really nice visit, the afternoon tea was lovely, nice cake and sandwich selection, looking forward to next time.

Mi pareja y mi hija organizaron una fiesta sorpresa para mí para celebrar mi 60 cumpleaños. Visitamos Ginger Cow para almorzar a menudo y nunca nos decepcionamos, por lo que Pete decide reservar una fiesta de té. Era una mesa bellamente decorada con vajilla vintage y flautas de champán (tomamos nuestro propio burbujeante), a mi familia se le permitió decorar con globos y banderines de cumpleaños, los sándwiches, los bocadillos y los pasteles eran preciosos y abundantes, el té y el café rellenados como necesario. El personal es encantador y servicial, y tuvimos una tarde fabulosa, ruidosa y alegre. Fue la mejor sorpresa en un lugar encantador, no puedo recomendar la vaca Ginger lo suficiente, así que si estás buscando un lugar acogedor AQUÍ ES. gracias al personal por un tiempo agradable y por guardar el secreto

Al haberme pedido que vaya a este fabuloso lugar, no necesitaré que me vuelvan a preguntar. Los propietarios y su personal eran de las personas más acogedoras y amables que he tenido el placer de conocer en mucho tiempo. ¡Agrégalo a la comida fantástica y usarás una combinación deliciosa!Gracias a todos y espero verlos nuevamente en el futuro.

After reading all the favourable reviews you would think this place would be heaving but when we went at teatime for a much looked forward to experience, we were disappointed. The place was deserted, and one look at the prices told me why. Over £3 for one tea and £3.50 for a small choc crunch, x 4 would be £26 for four people for a drink and small snack. Yes they may want to close up shop for half the week but to heave up the prices to cover their costs at the expense of the diner is poor. We went instead to a cafe in Pocklington and had a lovely tea in a heaving cafe full to the brim of happy diners, at HALF the price!

Acabamos de llegar a casa después de pasar 2 noches increíbles en The Shepherds Hut en The Ginger Cow Company. Llegamos a una botella de bollos frescos y burbujeantes con mermelada y crema coagulada y una tarjeta de aniversario, además de té con leche, café y chocolate caliente, que fue un toque tan hermoso. La bañera de hidromasaje estaba lista para entrar directamente. Cat recomendó "Carniceros Laverack en pocklington para nuestra carne de barbacoa. La carne era increíble y muy recomendable. Vinimos aquí para nuestro aniversario pero desde que hice la reserva he tenido meses de tratamiento en el hospital, así que el descanso no pudo haber llegado en mejor momento. Es tan idílico y lo único que oyes son los pájaros en los árboles y las burbujas en la bañera de hidromasaje. Ha sido el lugar perfecto para relajarse y descansar por completo. También almorzamos en los salones de té, que era absolutamente precioso, seguido de gatos deliciosos pasteles. Ya estoy buscando fechas para regresar. Gracias de nuevo a Cat, Andy y The Ginger Cow Team. Todos ustedes son increíbles xxxx.

Wonderful scones. Great staff Spotlessly clean. Dog friendly. Coffee certainly could do with improving. Tasted more like filter than Americano

Luckily this place popped up on social media so having had a walk in the local area, I took my son for afternoon tea - we were so pleased we did! What a perfect place for families with young children. There’s an outdoor area for them to play with toys & plenty of seating. We ended up sitting inside as the heavens opened & it was great because there was no issue with our Pooch being allowed in. The decor of the cafe is lovely, very stylish. We had afternoon tea for 2 - a selection of sandwiches, a couple of delicious cakes each followed by a fresh scone with jam & cream. A good pot of tea was also included & all for £22 which was excellent value. Cakes can also be bought to takeaway (which I did, chocolate brownies for my hubby & younger son & they thoroughly enjoyed them too)! It feels like a real find & we will definitely return!

I visited The Ginger Cow this week to meet a friend for lunch and I was really impressed! It was in a lovely spot, just off the A1079 at Everingham. The building was lovely with lots of windows and nice decor. There is plenty of space for parking. The food was fantastic-great portions and freshly made.i opted for the soup (butternut squash) and half a sandwich which was generous and delicious. We were impressed by the afternoon tea which was beautifully presented and looked amazing-definitely one to try next time! It was also lovely to see the newly arrived highland cows in the nearby fields. A lovely new find and well worth a visit!

Tucked away in the village of Everingham this little tea shop is amazing. Firstly it is very child friendly with a gated and fenced grass lawned garden and an area of outdoor toys to entertain them. It's dog friendly too. Plenty of outdoor seating but may get a bit busy indoors if the weather is bad. Now onto the food - a terrific menu with plenty of healthy options - no fast food here! And the cake choice was wonderful! I think all dietry intolerance are catered for, e.g. gluten, lactose and even had a choice of plant milks if you wanted. I was very impressed with the whole set up.

We visited here whilst out cycling. The location is wonderful. The food was excellent and staff very helpful. I would definitely recommend

What a lovely lunch at the Ginger Cow with my parent’s. Beautiful location, excellent staff and tasty food. One of our party has numerous dietary restrictions and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you very much.

Wonderful afternoon tea for my birthday, arranged by my daughter and her mother in law to be. Welcome was lovely, sandwiches, scones and cake yummy and beautifully serves. And as much tea or coffee as we liked. Lovely cafe, pretty surroundings and lovely friendly staff.

We had a lovely Afternoon Tea, everything was fresh the place was really nice and the staff very friendly, will definitely be back.

We were regular visitors to the Ginger Cow under its previous ownership, on Tuesdays when we shop in Pocklington. However, the new owners do not open on Tuesdays, so we made a special trip today (Wednesday). Unfortunately we found it closed, with a sign explaining that it was due to the preceding bank holiday. There was no mention of this on the web site. This is no way to run a business, especially a new, family-run business trying to get established. We will not be returning.

This is the first time I have been to the Ginger Cow cafe since it reopened from Easter. The staff were very welcoming and the food was excellent with a great menu for all tastes. Well done to everyone involved and I am sure it will be a success, I will definately be back!

We visited The Ginger Cow Company last weekend for breakfast having heard good reports from friends. We certainly weren’t disappointed - we both had bacon sandwiches, which were delicious and an excellent coffee. We met the new owners who were super friendly and deserve every success in their new venture. Having seen the lunch menu as we left we’ll definitely be back to sample that too and to meet the soon to arrive Ginger Cows!

We decided to stop for light bite. Firstly there is no Ginger Cow. There is play area and toys for children to play with. We had bacon sandwiches and either tea or coffee costing over £42 Not what I consider good anough food for the cost. The bacon was cold. Would not recommend plus the bread was hard.

Well what a fantastic experience today visiting the Ginger Cow Company,

Was a regular before change of ownership so decided to give it a try now the new owners are installed.

The venue is very pleasant, the staff are helpful and food tasty. We will be going there again. Parking easy. If you have young children there is an area outside devoted to them.

Visited today and just had to write a review. We went with friends and our children and had a lovely time. The cakes looked and tasted amazing and staff were incredibly friendly. In my opinion a “must visit”! We will be back!!!

I booked to take my husband for a night away and came across this little treasure. Hidden away in the countryside, The Ginger Cow company offer a cosy, peaceful and beautiful Shepard’s Hut, for a great glamping style experience. Really well thought out, so homely inside, with the log burner making it all toasty and warm! We had a lovely relaxing time, with a great Chinese restaurant just down the road and a beautiful hamper made up for us for a breakfast with a view! Could highly recommend this little gem.

Called in 10.15 for tea and toast. Went for poached eggs -about the best I've had with an interesting salad garnish. Pot of tea. Friendly service. Great, if just slightly slow food,on the day.

Popped in for lunch with my wife. Greeted with a smile from all of the lovely staff. Menu selection is quite small compared to a lot of places you visit nowadays but that is clearly to keep the quality high and the service quick. I opted for a simple egg mayo sandwich and my wife went for cheese and pickle, both were beautifully presented and full of wonderful flavours. The portion sizes are on the large side, really we could have shared one! I need to mention the ginger beer which was incredible. No room left for pudding that say so can't comment on the cakes.

3 of us were out for a 5 mile walk, and called at The Ginger Cow for half way refreshments!

My first visit today: 4 of us went for lunch: it was very busy but we were seated promptly. A cosy little place with fantastic food: all homemade with great care and utterly delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive without being invasive. Gorgeous freshly baked, savoury scone plates, the best toastie I have ever eaten, beautiful soup and great ham from their own farm.We had some tray bake cakes as take away. Incredibly good. Can't wait to eat there again!

My first vist here today with my wife and 1yr old daughter. We had the Afternoon Tea for two (£22) and I was able to swap my tea for their delicious hot chocolate. The afternoon tea was superb, very generous and all home made. The sandwiches weren't the typical white bread triangles with the crusts cut off but proper homemade bread, stuffed with a choice of tasty chedder, tender ham and egg mayo. The savoury part also included homemade chutney, crisps and sausage roll. The sweet platter included a delicious homemade scone with cream and jam, a jelly and two tray bakes each. We manage to polish the lot off (just!) with help from our grazing 1yr old. If you don't fancy the afternoon tea they have a wide choice on their menu including some lovely looking breakfast options (until 11.30am). The specials board was also an option. The venue itself is small and it's worth giving them a ring to book a table. They have outdoor seating for better weather and also toy tractors and a Wemdyhouse for the kids to play within a secure fenced grass area you can see from the floor to ceiling windows. Really enjoyed ourselves today, the food was excellent, the staff friendly and helpful and it is very good value. We'll be back.

visited the tea room today and what a lovely experience the best cheese and ham toastie weve had lovely chutney as well all served on china plates and tea cups and saucers the tea rom is spotless as were the toilets plenty of toys for children to play with and animals to look at even met shaun the owner who was very friendly and saw rita the hen and frank and betty with their lovely brood of ducklings all in all a lovely visit will definately be back again

Called for lunch and we both enjoyed delicious sandwiches. My partner decided as a treat he would have victoria sponge with icecream. The sponge was very dry and we cant decide whether it was left over from the week before or it had been frozen and thawed out.Very disappointing. Would definately go again , but would give the cake a miss.

Our first visit to this charming, child-friendly tea shop/farm cafe. The tea room is beautifully decorated and the food is first class quality. We had the delicious home-made soup and half a sandwich, which is plenty for any adult. Fresh, local ingredients and friendly service. We then had an interesting and entertaining tour of the farm with Shaun, and followed that with home-made chocolate cake, raspberries and ice cream. A perfect afternoon out - highly recommend it.

Really nice homemade food in a really nice cafe, followed by an excellent tour of the animals which was fun and really interesting too. Shaun was a great guide. The kids and adults all had a great time. Top day out!

We are a group of 5 pensioners who enjoy regular Saturday coffee mornings together and as we all live in Pocklington, it was a treat to find this delightful local family business offering friendly quality service with the delightful addition of superb location and from Spring a variety of animals.

Worth the journey, homely food served with a smile All oozed quality, the menu is not overstretched so what is cooked is high quality I got to know by word of mouth always a good way

The best breakfast I have ever had!

This was our third visit to the Ginger Cow. We did one visit to see what sort of place it was then we have been twice with our walking group. The staff are really welcoming and the food (we had scones and cakes) was fantastic. The scones were really fresh. My cheese scone came with butter, some caramelised onion relish, a piece of cheese, a few leaves, grape and a cherry tomato. It was a great combination and a real treat.

We found Ginger cow on Google maps just trying to find a farm with some animals we could stop by for lunch. This is a family run farm by people who decided to quit the rat race and start a small holding. You can't help but be a bit jealous.

Excellent food all home cooked with very friendly staff. This was my father and mine first trip there. We will definitely go again.

Taken here today by friends for lunch and what a lovely surprise it was. Set in a countryside location this well presented establishment is a real treat. Not a big place but exceptionally well laid out with plenty of room to move around without knocking into the adjoining tables. The menu is not a large one but what it offers is of the highest quality and would satisfy even the most fussy of people. (of which I am one) The food is freshly prepared and very tasty. The staff are pleasant and friendly offering real service with a smile. I could not find a single fault with the place itself, the staff or the food. I would recommend it most highly. A little off the beaten track but well worth the effort to find.My only concern. We cant visit the place more often as we dont live in the area.
