The Organic Farm Shop Cafe in Cotswold

Normally, we love this place. Best quality and all that stuff. However, their prices for a plate of salad (mostly leaves) have now risen to £16. An increase of about 20% in just a few months. If it had been good value for money the review would be at least 4 stars but as it was mostly salad leaves it's just a 3 star review.

Horrid experience with uncaring rude owner who did not care at all I was ill for a week after eating her food. Got aggressive instead of apology. If you want kind smiley staff and fantastic produce, we found several amazing places the next day. These places knew how to run a business, provide service they get paid for, were extremely well organized and did not make excuses every 5 seconds about being inadequate with food choice and supply. Recommend you look elsewhere just like us ;-)

Limited menu, what there was was very expensive! £16.00 for a large salad ! I ordered a coffee whilst I waited for a friend took 15 minutes to get it … Probably won’t return, shame as what we had was tasty

Asked if the soup contained garlic, the sweet serving girl checked and said yes there is. Asked if anything on the menu doesn’t contain garlic? Lady in charge bluntly replied ‘No’. We left.

Great food and friendly staff. The salad plates are SO nice! A great alternative to going to a pub for lunch - fresh, tasty food at a decent price and service with a smile.

Sadly the lunch was disappointing - the soup was blended like baby food, the cutlery dirty. Very over-priced and the staff are not that friendly. In no rush to hurry back when there are so many amazing independent cafes in Cirencester offering a better menu choice. The food is the shop is very expensive too. The only lovely part is the surroundings which you cannot fault.

Really enjoyed Sunday lunch here - family group that was mixture of meat eaters and vegetarian, we all enjoyed our meal.

Very average roast dinner . £18.50 for small adult roast , not value for money .ordinary and disappointing . A shame as always wanted to come here to try roast after good previous cafe experiences

We visit the farm shop once a week and buy a lot from them for our daily needs which includes vegetables, fruit, cheese and other things like buckwheat noddles, bin bags. We have regularly a coffee and a cake and often lunch. This year, I bought for the first time also plants in Spring time which were a nice addition to my existing plants in the garden. I also visited the Open Fay in June. The entire atmosphere is enjoyable and inspiring.I love the shop, the cafe and the Indian department. The staff are always friendly. This farm shop is a different world.

Ideal place to go if you like vegetarian food I think. Im not vegetarian but they do know how to make vegetables taste good. My favourite was their beetroot and fennel gratin! The only time they serve meat is on Sunday which is equally good. Friendly staff and lovely views of their farm completes the experience.

I love Abbey Farm shop. The shop is in two parts. One is food. The other is products from India - primarily beautiful fabrics, bedlinen etc ( Rani fairtrade cottons). The food shop is fabulous, with many of the products produced on the farm ( vegetable, fruit, dairy products including cheese and yoghurt, bread, and all kinds of meat, hams and sausages). Considering the superb quality and freshness, plus the fairtrade nature of everything in the shop, the prices are very competitive. The staff are relaxed and very helpful and friendly. They clearly enjoy working there. The cafe is good, with a very attractive seating area overlooking the wonderful farm. Abbey Home farm is an absolute inspiration. Being there is like entering a perf3ct world : sustainable food production, high animal welfare stamdards, fairtrade ethis and a happy and friendly staff. Inwish our politicians would take a leaf out of the farm’s book. Instead, I suspect they go to Dalesford. Well done Abbay. Home farm.

Some things great, others… not so much. Expensive food shop, but quality really high (mostly) so that’s fine. The cafe is very expensive for what it is, and on,y just manages to make you feel it’s justified. The whole thing feels slightly amateurish but not in a wholly charming way. Worth it for a coffee or bowl of soup but I’d suggest you first managed expectations. Not allowing dogs is a real shame.

It should be so good but it’s not. There is always a queue for food and the staff seem a bit hapless and seem to have little initiative but I feel maybe they are not allowed to. Having had a poor experience a few times I would put this down to poor training and management. The shop is good but there is a sign at the till saying “ no returns” .some of the clothes are quite expensive so it put puts me off buying anything. This could be a lovely place to visit and we keep coming back hoping. Please get your act together.

We were visiting with our friends from the Cotswolds. It was a disappointing experience. There are a number of aspects that were poor. The meat was ringed throughout with fat similar to pork belly and there was no crackling. We expected a nice premium loin of pork. Other diners also left fatty meat on the side of their plates. The carrots were hard and the potatoes were not properly roasted or browned. The gravy was glutinous which was not pleasant. For a premium priced roast this fell well short of expectations. The apple crumble deserts were poorly presented with a tiny blob of cream.

My wife and I are regular visitors to Cirencester Farm shop/cafe, particularly at Sunday Lunchtimes. I always have the meat option and my wife the vegetarian dish. I’ve never had a Sunday Roast as good as this anywhere. Highly recommended.

Limited range of options. But very nice. We visited a few times when in Cotswolds. The shop is great too and the farm walk that can do is very good. Shop and cafe are quite expensive, but very high quality

We're regular visitors to the Cotswolds, and one of the highlights of our visits is always this lovely shop. The cafe had been closed for all our previous visits due to Covid, and we've been looking forward to it re-opening, as the shop and farm produce is all such consistently good quality, and ethically sourced. We weren't disappointed: I had a delicious curry, and my partner enjoyed an enormous plate of mixed salads. It's the kind of food you feel healthier for just looking at! Full of good things, but also really hearty and satisfying. It's a lovely environment, with a natural but colourful vibe, overlooking the farmland where most of the food comes from. The service is always good as well - though this isn't fast food, and is priced accordingly. This is the kind of business that deserves subsidies to help it with the education that's part of the enterprise, and making organic food available and affordable for everyone who wants it. We went for a walk afterwards around the farm trail, though some lovely woodland and the edges of rolling fields. It's interesting to read the story of this farm, which was clearly way ahead of the game in combining tasty food with care for the land and climate. I'm already looking forard to being back in July, sitting outside the cafe with a plate of good food, and walking the farm trail again.

I always come here with girlfriends for lunch and it never fails . Having look around the colourful shop first and bought a few goodies we have a gorgeous hot bowl of soup with yummy homemade bread . Just perfect .the soup is always homemade and delicious maybe a bit bland but easily remedied with some seasoning . Love this place . Highly recommend

Went to the Organic Farmshop cafe on Sunday for lunch, vegetable and blue cheese crumble with mixed salad which was gorgeous. The cafe has only just reopened after the Covid shutdown and it is excellent, only a few options offered but still difficult to choose and all sourced from the farm itself, you can actually see where your lunch is grown. No Sunday roast on but as nearly every other establishment offers a Sunday roast for me that is a good thing. Would highly recommend a visit.

We just wanted to thank you sincerely for a fabulous job done in a horrendous year. At the start of this pandemic the farm shop was at what can only be described as a lifeline for those of us who needed to shield. Since reopening it has been a pleasure to continue shopping and buying their many ready meals and cake and breads; not least thanks to your vigilant action to ensure that both shoppers and staff abide by the safety rules first and foremost and not simply put the sale first. This organic shop is second to none and gets a five star plus rating from us. Very best of everything in 2021 and please please keep up your sterling great work. Whilst the restaurant foods are only available for takeouts etc at the moment they are as good as you can get!

Have been here lots and last few times sadly seems to have lost its energy and is now producing very mundane food and unless you go early runs out very quickly

If you want slow service, expensive and bland food then this is the place. Soup was particularly horrible. Not very clean and a sense of righteousness from staff that was unjustified. Seemingly just because they are offering veggie and healthy food. It shouldn’t mean they can get away with serving overpriced food that tastes bad. Not good enough.

We visited today for the first time, hoping to find a nice place fairly near, to use as a regular stop off. Being gluten and dairy intolerant I really had high expectations of this organic eatery. Sadly our experience from start to finish was a huge disappointment. The staff bark at you, customer service is zero out of ten. The food was overpriced and tasteless - the only option I was given was a chocolate brownie which was so dry, it felt like tasteless sawdust in the mouth. Thank goodness for the small amount of raspberry sauce and vegan icecream which was needed. Portion size was dismal and price was extortionate - £17 for a tea a coffee and 2 dry brownies. I give praise when praise is due (read my other reviews if you like), but this cafe does not get rated at all, not for service and not for food. Such a shame, it could be so much better. We will not return.

Buena comida vegetariana orgánica llena de sabor. Lo que está disponible depende de las estaciones y el stock, lo que siempre significa que hay algo diferente.Es bastante costoso y parece que hay una gran cantidad de personal alrededor con pocos clientes allí el jueves a la hora del almuerzo, así que muchos gastos generales.Es una pena que los perros no puedan entrar ya que hay mucho espacio adentro y sería posible mantenerlos en un área del café.

A primera vista, un poco interesantelugar, pero hay literalmente signos POR TODAS PARTES que te dicen / te advierten. . . . no haga esto / no haga eso, rompa nada y pague por ello, etc. Es bastante desgastante e incómodo solo mirar hacia arriba. El personal no sonríe y, en general, me siento decepcionado ya que acabo de mudarme localmente y esperaba hacer una parada regular. Probablemente lo intentaré una vez más ya que el café era bueno, pero sí, gente, relájense y supérense, me gusta gastar mi tiempo y dinero en algún lugar que no se sienta como un mal ambiente.

The cafe there serves just my sort of food. Wonderful salads and tasty tarts. It's down a lane but it's well worth the visiting.

had lunch today with friends, great food, vegetarian and the roast pork enjoyed by all. Puddings super, came away very full and had a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

We could not manage more than a flying (toilet stop) visit unfortunately because dogs are not allowed out of the car park. On a hot sunny day it’s clearly not safe to leave any dog in a car. There is a nice looking cafe and outside pic nic tables but according to the owner they have had issues with people not picking up theirs doge mess and one of the farms sheep being attacked in the past. I understand both concerns but it is sad, and we visit many working farms with thriving shops that manage to be dog friendly. Shame because the shop looked nice. The score would have been higher if we didn’t have a dog in tow with us!

Would have given 5* for the food which was delicious but the queue to order food took forever and when we got to the front of the queue they had run out of jacket potatoes so had to go back to our table to find out what was wanted instead and then go back to order. It took forever and was very stressful. However the mixed salad was really good and very fresh.

I waited over 20 MINUTES in line to order a piece of toast to be told that as it was two minutes past eleven I was "too late". I was brought to tears in the cafe whilst with mu children. Not surprisingly, it ruined my visit and my day.Please avoid.

I love buying my organic meat, herbs, yoghurt, fruit and vege here. The staff are so pleasant and friendly, nothing is too much for them to do for you - a real credit to their Manager and asset to this business. We arrived a bit late in the day and there was a wedding reception on so we weren't able to sit where there was a view. Still most enjoyable and the carrot cake is the best we have eaten anywhere in the world (we are from New Zealand and Australia and have travelled most parts of the world).

We have supported this enterprise for 10+ years (shop, restaurant, courses). Yesterday we were treated in a very rude and unnecesarily high-handed manner by the manager over a trivial matter. We have found an alternative source of organic produce and will not be coming again.

Just been here today with my daughter, 3year old and 10 month old grandchildren, both lovely and well brought up- nice manners and pleasant.

This is a lovely cafe serving highly nutritious food at reasonable prices. Soups are great, salads always look fresh and appetizing. My only criticism is the lack of seasoning in everything, but that is easily adjusted.

Cada vez que voy la comida siempre es sabrosa y es diferente cada vez. Algunas veces espero comida caliente pero entiendo por qué. La tienda también es agradable también. Algunas veces cuando hay pastelería (pie) el fondo está empapado pero no es un gran problema

Visité con mi hija para tomar una copa y un aperitivo en la tarde. Todavía una gama razonable de pasteles disponibles. Opté por la esponja Victoria, mi hija por un brownie con nueces. La esponja era encantadora y húmeda, no muy dulce, realmente lo disfruté. El brownie era un poco corto en tamaño, supongo que al final de la porción de la bandeja, pero aún estaba sabroso. La coca-cola orgánica que mi hija disfrutaba, al principio no estaba tan segura, pero una vez que mis papilas gustativas se acostumbraron al coque, el agua de manantial más gaseosa como el sabor estaba bien. Muy tranquilo, personal amable. Recomendaría.

El precio de una batata, pimiento rojo y tomate horneado es ahora de 11. 50 por persona, pero sigue siendo una buena relación calidad-precio. Las ensaladas son tan interesantes y variadas como siempre, y la comida siempre es un placer contemplar y comer. Las mesas y sillas son básicas, pero es un lugar tranquilo y relajante para comer.

Fab salads and tarts, and reasonable coffee. A very virtuous and tasty lunch! We will return to try Sunday lunch.

Nos sorprendió gratamente encontrar The Farm Shop en Abbey Home Farm ubicado a dos millas de Cirencester en Burford Road. Es una experiencia completamente nueva: todos los alimentos son orgánicos recién cultivados, hay una amplia variedad de alimentos, la exhibición de verduras frescas es excepcional, el personal es alegre, servicial y agradable. La cafetería tiene un menú vegetariano y vegano que es excelente y hace que sea agradable. Cambio, repostería recién horneada en el día. Incluso tienen cursos de cocina y artesanía, paseos por el bosque y alojamiento.

Elegí este lugar encantador para celebrar mi fiesta porque venimos aquí a menudo para los excelentes asados de los domingos y para comprar nuestros productos orgánicos y realmente me gusta. Hace poco tuve la oportunidad de llegar a la sala grande que está disponible para alquilar. Es una habitación realmente encantadora y la reservé. Mi fiesta fue un gran éxito y Hilary, quien es copropietaria de The Organic Farm Shop, fue un placer tratar con ellos, al igual que todos los demás que participaron. La comida estuvo deliciosa y toda la tarde se sintió increíblemente relajada y fácil. La mayoría de mis invitados no habían estado en este lugar antes, pero tenía muchos comentarios sobre lo mucho que les gustaba el lugar.

Popped in for a nose around and it looked so inviting I decided to have lunch. I just had a bowl of soup and a roll.

I visited here with my friend, and wow. I am already looking forward to my next visit, the soup was incredible, the service delightful and range of goods in the shop a treat.

Can't book and always a long queue to order and food takes forever to come. The system doesn't work!

My husband and I popped in en route back home from Cirencester a couple of Sundays back. We had the most delicious and filling vegan and vegetarian Sunday lunches. My husband would normally choose a meat option for Sunday lunch but was completely taken by what he ate. Beautiful fresh produce and perfect portion size.

Whenever we visit Cirencester we make it a point to shop and dine here. Love the coffee and breakfast foods and the store is well stocked with healthy choices. Staff at both the store and cafe are great

We have had lunch here lots of times ranging from simple soup to Sunday roast dinner. It's quite pricey but the quality of the food justifies the price. The salads are amazing and last time we had Sunday lunch the beef was fab and all the trimmings were as good as you get anywhere.

3 of us had sunday lunch here, unfortunately from the moment we joined the queue to the time our food arrived was nearly an hour. The Sunday roast was good but for £15 a head it's too expensive. The surroundings were good and the staff very pleasant, although clearly under staffed for the Sunday midday rush.

Always good for a Sunday roast! Meat and vegan options available, and they are very good at catering for food allergies. They even had a most fantastic vegan pudding today, chocolate and peanut brownie with booja booja ice cream. It’s rare that I find a dairy free pudding, other than a sorbet! There was some degree of stress as I couldn’t reserve a pudding when we ordered the main but thankfully they weren’t sold out. Lovely atmosphere, although most families do appear to have one level of speaking, very loud, and their child are allowed to be somewhat ‘free spirited’. It’s nice in the summer as there is a quiet outside space to site to escape all the noise and ‘chaos’ inside. However the food more than makes up for these blips, especially if you can just tune it all out.

We shop here often so we’re delighted to see milk being offered from the machine in glass bottles.

Revisado después de un par de años, buscando un almuerzo ligero. Era domingo y se ofrecía un asado completo, pero a las 15 lo rechazamos y optamos por el apio y la sopa de puerro. Mala elección, la sopa era terrible, era tan espesa, no se había colado y los puerros nunca se mezclaban. Fue sosa y simplemente no es agradable. El pan servido era una rebanada de pan marrón muy fino, ni siquiera un trozo. . . vergüenza optamos por un tazón grande ya que lo dejamos todo y salimos. Vimos las cenas de asados ​​que salieron por 15 y pudimos ver el plato, una porción muy pobre, así que realmente me alegro de no haber tenido eso. No volveremos, una verdadera pena, ya que solía ser genial.

La comida aquí es increíble, hecha de vegetales orgánicos y frutas cultivadas en la granja, por lo que no podría ser más fresca. Maravillosos platos de ensalada acompañan guisos interesantes y hay quiches, sopas, sándwiches y pasteles. Mucha variedad para vegetarianos y veganos, y he comido hee con omnívoros que también han amado la comida. Después de comer, es divertido navegar por la tienda, que vende ropa, muebles y artículos de aseo bastante comercializados, así como una buena variedad de comestibles, frutas y verduras orgánicas y platos preparados cocinados en el establecimiento. Vale la pena una visita. El único inconveniente para mí es que los perros tienen que quedarse en el auto aquí.

Lugar agradable. De alta calidad, de cosecha propia, producir. Un poco caro pero sabe Devine. Restaurante ofrecido con comida casera. También tienen una hermosa tienda india de artículos para el hogar. , que vende algunas cosas tradicionales y extravagantes encantadoras.

Nos metimos aquí buscando un lugar para una taza de té y nos hubiera gustado haber almorzado, que se veía encantador. Tiene una cafetería muy informal con muebles recuperados y de colores brillantes junto a la tienda de la granja. Las verduras se veían geniales y puedes llenar tu propio recipiente con leche. También había un montón de productos básicos de despensa éticos y productos de lavandería ecológicos. Decidimos tomar una bebida caliente en la terraza exterior que daba a los campos y no podía fallar en el servicio. Esperamos volver.

Manejamos un poco después de nuestro paseo por los comunes y no estamos decepcionados. nuestra familia viene aquí a menudo, así que disfrutamos la sopa y luego un paseo y algunas compras en la tienda. Incluso compramos una botella de vidrio y luego la llenamos con leche fresca de la granja, también una gran variedad de alimentos orgánicos.

After a rather poor experience at the GWSR station at Toddington and in dire need of refreshments we happened across.......

I wish I had taken a photo of the leek and cheddar tart but I tucked in as soon as it was brought to the table; served with a colourful and tasty array of lovely salads it looked and tasted absolutely gorgeous. Enjoyed looking out at the plump pumpkins growing in the field too!

Delicious vegetarian food, great coffee & cakes and friendly staff. Food allergies catered for. The cafe itself is lovely and clean plus you get to look out over the fields while you eat. Definitely check it out

The last time we visited this shop/cafe was more years ago than I care to remember, but decided to call in today for a look around. The cafe was very quiet, as it was just before lunchtime. We decided to try the spiced spinach (& cauliflower?) soup. It's nice that you can choose portion size, we paid £4.95 for the smallest portion which was plenty for a light lunch, presented well, with very tasty bread and butter on the side. Coffee good too. Afterwards we browsed the shop and bought some 'fill your own container' (well, we bought a screw top 1 litre bottle for the purpose for £1 plus cost of milk) not tried yet to see if we can taste the difference from normal supermarket bought milk! Will definitely return. A very nice experience.

After a bumpy ride down a tiny lane, turn left into this delightful farm shop/cafe. On the whole the food is very good vegetarian but Sunday Lunch usually has something for us carnivores!!!! And it has to be booked in advance - it is so popular.!!!! The staff are delightful and helpful. The place has an Indian feel about it .....interesting artifacts from Asia can be bought there. Personally I love the place....so I hope you'll enjoy it too.

Have been a couple of times now and the food is simple, fresh and lovingly created. No show cooking here but it tastes good and you can be confident that it’s wholesome Heartily recommended.

I went here with my husband on Saturday. I am gluten free and the chocolate cake was very nice. My husband had a cheese and chutney sandwich with salad. We had aloo, around the shop afterwards. We bought a home grown cucumber which tastes delicious and a bag of beef bones so I could make my own broth which I did and it tastes wonderful. I would go back again with a friend who loves farms and farms shops. The only thing I didn’t like were the flies. They had lots flying around the chopping boards and on the bread display where the breads were not covered up. Luckily the cakes were on a glass cake stand. The shop was aware of the flies and had the usual fly light. I know this time of year they are quite bad but it would if put me off buying a sandwich.

Rather small and compact. Wines expensive. Did not have the items we required. Staff busy and no communication.

We visited after failing to find this place the week earlier , It is a lot bigger than expected with a variety of organic fruit and veg and bread as well .There are areas selling clothes and ornaments etc .Lots of foreign foods ,teas ,spices etc .The Cafe is very big with outside seating as well .We had two teas £2 each which were ok .

Didn't eat at the cafe but can't see where else to post a review.

Always stop here when passing excellent organic vegetarian cafe I am not a veggie but enjoy good food.

Called in here after a long walk in the area , saw the sign and thought we would give it a go. Lovely conservatory area where we enjoyed one of the best hot crossed buns I have had. Friendly staff too.

Just what I like, warm, clean, friendly and thoughtfully provided. Sadly no dogs not even in car park but hey ho ! dealing with food here. Always get there at the beginning of lunch its worth the effort. Good raw dog food mince and all sorts of books and goodies to discover.

I recently visited with a friend who has been coming here for over a year. Everything on the menu looked delicious- as was everything that was brought to our table! The salad is amazing, with so many different flavours and colours. I would have liked there to be more details listed in the menu, but I’m sure if you needed to check ingredients for allergies or any other reason then the staff could list them off for you.

I am a regular here for the Sunday roast which we all think is excellent. After the first couple of visits though, we figured that we had to arrive bang on 12pm when they start taking orders, if not the queue builds up fast as the person taking the orders also has to make the drinks. Also, the food takes a long time if you are there at the start. I usually have the veggie roast option which is excellent. Lovely staff and great for kids as there is a play area right outside which can be easily seen from indoors. The shop is very well stocked too.

Definitely worth a visit to sample some imaginative and very tasty vegetarian food, even if you're not a vegetarian! But be prepared to wait at busy times. Just one staff member taking orders, doing coffees and handling the money meant (for us) a 20 min. queue to order lunch and another 10 at the table waiting for the food to arrive. Plus an additional 10 mins to re-queue for coffee afterwards (rather than have this go cold at the table, or be finished before the meals arrived). Just about acceptable given the quirky and individual environment, but how much better if the service was a tad snappier...

Just made the detour here for lunch today (hint - don’t use Sat Nav or you’ll end up down the road) and LOVED it. The food is super fresh, organic, local but not too expensive and really yummy. My children are from the kids menu and were happy, and I had beautiful homemade soup with homemade bread. All the food coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. Can’t quite understand earlier review finding it a limited vegetarian menu. I found it one of the best vegetarian menus I’ve come across in the UK. Definitely going back :-)

Very disappointing cafe - it seems like it should be a nice place, and maybe they were just having a bad day. There was a rather unexciting vegetarian menu, so I ordered the jacket potato with cheese. It arrived after about 30 minutes – two medium-sized cold baked potatoes, a dab of butter, a generous helping of good cheddar and a scrap of salad slapped on the side. I asked if the potato was supposed to be hot, and the staff were very apologetic and rushed off to deal with it, kindly offering a consolatory slice of bread in the meantime. After a further 20 minutes or so, I got two new rather small and partially cooked potatoes that were just faintly warm, with cheese, no butter and a bit of salad.

Absolutely love it here! The food is amazing and all grown locally on the farm (get there at exactly 12 for lunch as it gets really busy!)

We visited for lunch between Christmas and New Year. We were a party of 7 (4 adults and 3 young children). The food was amazing and full of flavour (and met with the approval of the vegan in our party and all the children). Afterwards we went around the farm shop and bought some lovely organic vegetables and some of the best wholemeal bread I've ever eaten.

Great way to start the day with a nice cuppa. Service was very good. There is a food shop that...

We've been coming here for a couple of years now and I never had anything negative to say about the...

Impromptu stop as we crossed the southern Cotswolds. Easy to drive right by, but just slowed and turned in time!

When I posted a review last Sunday after a second disappointing lunch it seems to have disappeared into thin air. This is a delightful establishment with a lot going for it and whilst I would love to say something positive about my eating experience, sorry I can't. It was what it was. Service soooo slow, food very expensive and not particularly memorable. This is my second attempt to record my experience and I do hope it will be printed. If you don't acknowledge the problem, you can't address it!

A nice little shop and restaurant with a range of organic ingredients and imaginative menu. On a very relaxed day we walked a short woodland route. A nice unhurried afternoon.

We had travelled up to this Organic Farm Shop mainly to buy Organic food, but we're also looking forward to some lunch. Perhaps I should have rang to find out they were dog friendly, I could find nothing on their website about dogs.I went in the shop and asked if they would allow a dog into the restaurant and the answer was no. Having spent a week in Cornwall where nearly all places accept dogs I had been optimistic but the most surprising thing was yet to come. I returned to my car some 50 yards away were my wife and dog were waiting to find a man with an officious nature had stopped his car and told my wife she must keep the dog in the car and not go any nearer the shop. We could not even sit outside the shop on tables provided and drink a coffee with the dog. After driving six hours in our car to get there to say I was disappointed is an understatement. The Organic produce was good. I can't comment on either coffee or food.

Reservamos en línea para pasar el fin de semana de camping en la granja Casa Abadía, ya que parecía sencillo, hermoso y barato. Recibí un correo electrónico básico, pero todos los detalles estaban en su sitio web. Llegamos a las 5:20 el sábado por la noche para encontrar la tienda había cerrado. . . necesitas registrarte en la tienda durante horas, pero este había decrecido en mi mente. Encontramos otro lugar de campamento y volvería a la noche siguiente.

Stopped for quick bite to eat. Ordered a small bowl of soup and a pre-made salad - took almost 20 minutes. It was not busy. When it did arrive it tasted good.

After riding by motorcycle from Eastbourne to my cousins home he drove us both to this lovely setting to have a healthy lunch, Food was very tasty, tried a carrot cake slice with a cup of tea after which was also very moreish! Great place to go for a light lunch or just for a cuppa and a cake!

This isn't posh and it isn't fast, but the food is worth making a special journey for. The food is vegetarian, except on Sundays, and most of it is grown on their own farm. The combination of salads is delicious, and there is a small choice of items e.g. quiche, pizza etc to go with the salads. Take your time, and enjoy the meal and the informal surroundings.

My husband treated me to a birthday lunch here last week, as I love the place but we live too far away to eat here regularly. They serve vegetarian meals from Tuesday-Saturday, then "carnivorous" Sunday Roast dinners, using meat from the farm. While neither OH nor I are vegetarians, the food here is so good we always go during the week. OH had a mushroom burger with cheese, while I had cheese and spinach quiche. Both were served with a selection of delicious and unusual salads. It's very hard to choose from the selection of cakes here as they're all delicious, but I usually have the carrot cake as it's the only place I've found which doesn't slap on that awful sickly frosting. The only reason I haven't given this cafe a 5 is because the portions have definitely shrunk in size over the past couple of years, but then a)you're paying for quality, organic food, b)it's a business, not a food bank. They've got to make a profit and c) I'm a gannet, anyway.

Place not easy to find if you follow your sat nav - you will most likely have to turn around and then go left on the roundabout - drive until you see the sign advertising the cafe/farm - from memory i think it might be a first right after the roundabout. Anyway, the place is different , kind of a rural mini version of WholeFoods. not quite, but it definitely have got the similar fill to it. very quirky, with some good selection of ogranic food , including fresh meats from the farm - fress or frozen - if we lived locally i would definitely but meat/chicken from there. they also have got a section selling indian fabrics, ornaments,some furniture, mirrors, gifts, a bit of mixed bag of cool things. We stopped for lunch having read some good reviews and i must say food was lovely. soup with bread delish, my main course was really nice and full of flavour , although i would say maybe a bit to expensive for what it was ( cooked veg with some mashrom and potatoes). on the other hand - if its organic, and mostly came from the farm, prepared properly and fresh - why not to pay a full price ? we tend to pay a fortune for a 5 day old sandwich from the shop that travelled miles prepared in the factory but complain that we pay a littl emore for a proper food ? anyway, woudl try them again for a different dish. i think if the owners gave the place more TLC escpecially in food offering area - it could be a very thriving place.

This is a great place to stock up on your organic supplies when you don't have wholefoods on your doorstep and the fact that they grow most of their fresh produce and you can see it before you come in makes it great though the BIG down side is it is VERY expensive, sadly takes the ability of shopping here weekly out of the budget, shame as it is now most definitely more of a very rare stop if passing and haven't got time to go to the normal priced food shop. The restaurant too is good but also expensive for what you get, we left hungry and came home and made a sandwich!

Traveled with my family to the shop for lunch. Good food but must say it is really for the vegetarian. Pizza not worth buying as it only had cheese and tomatoes on, small slice as well.For the very conscious eater and organic lover, this will be heaven' For me as a meat eater, not so good.

I love this place. I have tried many options but always revert back to my favourite, a plate of mixed salad with hummus. The combinations are fascinating and often inspiring. The place is informal, relaxed and the circular walk is a great way to work off the cake. I also shop here and the quality of the produce is amazing. No gimmicky two for one offers, no unnecessary packaging, free parking - beats supermarket shopping.

Enjoyed a very good Sunday lunch, all food on plate great, maybe a little more generous serving of veggies , but we are a family who eat lots of veggies. Then enjoyed a lovely walk along permitted paths. Agree with other reviewers a little pricey, but would return, good quality food. Serving staff very pleasant and helpful, but a smile from person taking orders would have been appreciated.There are many notices of do s and don't s around.Shop well worth a browse ...good selection of wheat/ gluten free products

We sat outside in the sun and ate our delicious soup with very good bread. Such a friendly atmosphere we loved it!

Really nice atmosphere in the cafe, warm fire and surprisingly big seating area. Good choice of cake but coffee dreadful. Good shop for all healthy/fad foods with lots of choice vegetables and interesting, diverse selection of dry goods. Well worth a visit.

The food here is incredible (a bit expensive, but understandable) and the design of the place is really attractive; I love all the Indian touches and looking around the shop after eating here. However, the cafe is very rules-oriented (lots of signs about where children can/can't go, and you can't even feed a baby with baby food from home, you have to buy it in the shop) and the staff are not very friendly. I've eaten here a number of times in the last few months (with family and with friends, never with children) and as a general rule the staff are unsmiling and abrupt... as a polite paying customer, I don't enjoy feeling like an inconvenience, and this is starting to put me off going back, despite the really great aspects of the food and shop, and the wonderful ethos.

Wanted to like this place more. Plenty of parking, outside space for children, good farm shop with good quality food. The coffee at the cafe was not made well, too hot and burnt and slow. The veg stew was ok and the nut roast bland. The staff are friendly and I'd come back for one of the salads.

I travel miles for a salad during the week. The cafe is warm and has a relaxed atmosphere. It might be good to give the building a bit of a face lift as they don't look anything like the photos on the website. I repeat that the food is excellent.

Having been here a few times last winter and enjoyed the warmth of their log fire and the selection of cakes, we decided to cycle there for more of the same yesterday. What a disappointment. Despite it being a very cold day the fire wasn't lit which was an unwelcome surprise. It was busy, but not massively so and there appeared to be plenty of staff so quite why a simple order of toast and jam took well over 30 minutes to arrive is a mystery. My companion ordered a banana milkshake (also quite a wait but nowhere near as long as the toast!) - this came in a very small glass and was nothing more than frothed milk which tasted of banana, disappointing and poor value for £3. In summary, we left dissatisfied and colder than we had arrived, not really what you need when you have another 20 odd miles to cycle home. Needless to say we won't bother to return - plenty of alternatives in the area.

We come here for the food whenever we can, and we are never disappointed. It is relaxed and informal, and not posh. In the past the service has been quite slow, but they seemed to have extra help in the food preparation area, and our food came quite quickly, even though they were busy. The food as always was a lovely combination of vegetarian lasagne (we got the last two pieces) and a wonderful selection of home grown salads. Food options tend to start running out after about 1pm, so try and get there early.

This place is very useful to know about. They always have something vegan offer. It's very popular and I had to queue for 15 minutes and then wait for the soup and bread for a further 15 minutes. Really that was too much waiting but the food was enjoyable and warm. Water is available from a serve yourself area which is very welcome. Staff all seemed very polite and helpful DESPITE the fact that they were obviously very busy. I plan to return! Not cheap!

We just love the farm shop and eat there as often as we possibly can. The range of delicious salad accompaniments to the fantastic veggie mains are brilliant and we always leave feeling healthier than we arrived. Everything else is held up to the standards of this fantastic rustic staple of ours...

My partner and I had Sunday lunch here on the recommendation of a friend. The cafe is fairly basic with a mix of tables and metal chairs. However it has a pleasant relaxed feel and is popular with locals. The cafe serves one type of meat and only on Sundays, the rest of the week it is fully vegetarian. Our meat choice was organic chicken with apricot stuffing, roast potatoes, carrots and parsnips, cheesy leeks and kale. There was a generous amount of tasty chicken and the vegetables were also full of flavour and not overcooked and the portions were adequate. My partner had the chocolate brownie desert which he said was very good. For the quality of food served it is very good value. The Farm Shop is well worth a browse too!
