Thorncliffe Farmshop Cafe in Kirklees

Delicious impromptu visit for a breakfast roll and delicious coffee. I had the sausage and egg and my partner had the full breakfast roll. Delicious sausages and perfectly cooked fried egg. Paired with the delicious coffee and very friendly service. We will definitely be back again. Only negative is that you can’t book and it gets quite busy, but we were lucky to get a table when we arrived around 11:30 am

The Tea Room was recommended to us by a friend who is a regular customer. I looked at the recent reviews before visiting. Some of them were negative, but I kept an open mind. The Tea Room is set in open countryside with the option of sitting outdoors to enjoy the fresh air. Debra had a Pulled Pork sandwich (really nice), and I had the Pulled Beef & Onion with crunchy horseradish (it had a bit of a kick, and I could have done with more). Both sandwiches were good value for money, and we will order again (with extra horseradish). We shared a side order of proper chips, though the portion was on the small size (a few extra chips needed). The coffees were very strong, just how they should be, and very enjoyable after our lunch. Staff were pleasant and friendly, and we had a chat afterwards, saying we will definitely return. Well worth a visit.

Went to visit the farm shop for the first time today but sadly disappointed, the place is far too dark and badly laid out, the staff just didn't seem interested in engaging with the customers and the lady on the checkout was basically rude and miserable! Can't see any reason to visit again.

Breakfast here is superbly cooked and presented always. When in UK o come here with my brother weekly. We’ve tried other places, but always end up back here. The staff are exceptional too. Highly recommended.

Not been here for a while and will be a while before we revisit. We were not booked but able to find a table. The place was quite busy. The menu is ok. Choices of variations on the full English plus a lot of breakfast sandwiches with various fillings. Orders are taken at the counter. The lady taking the order was very abrupt.. not customer friendly at all... indeed my wife said she was quite scary!! Service was pretty prompt. The meals were not brilliant. The bacon in both cases was chewy and dry... almost like it had been overcooked or left under the warmer too long. The poached eggs were hard. Sausages, black pudding etc were decent. Portion sizes were good. The staff had no communication with clients at all ...no 'how are you'? 'have you had a good day?' etc. No pleasantries whatsoever. Not a smile was to be seen! Coffee was decent however!

Service was slow, food cold when arrived. Staff seemed completely disinterested and chatted amongst themselves. Shame, have been previously but this occasion left us very disappointed. Won’t be back in a hurry!

Visited the butchers counter recently, and found the service to be inadequate. The member of staff who served me seemed new to his position as handled meat products without gloves and appeared to have blood/dirty fingernails. Very off putting indeed. Declined service eventually and went to local supermarket instead

We've been coming to Thorncliffe for many years now but how it's changed. A woman called Luciano I do believe is very bossy and talks to staff and customers like dirt. We was seated and my wife wasn't happy because it was near the door and too cold for her with her been disabled. We asked to be moved and I heard her say to one of her staff well that's all we've got. She knew I'd heard her and she changed her tune l,but we'd heard enough and left. We won't be returning and neither will my family who spend lots of money there. Such a shame the other staff are lovely.

One gluten free option and they charge £2.45 for gluten free bread. Please be aware in most instances gluten free is not an option however in most instances being vegetarian or vegan is and yet you cater for them at no extra cost.

On entering we were told to wait . 3 tables free, Not reserved as you can’t book but told by waitress they were for tables of 4 ???? With us only being 2 we felt we weren’t wanted .Went up to order and served by a lovely waitress who was polite,courteous and happy. The older waitresses need to take a leaf out of her book. Ordered a small breakfast and Eggs Benedict an apple juice and a milkshake. Food was served promptly and was lovely however the milkshake didn’t get served until I’d nearly finished my meal. My 2 stars are for the chef and the young waitress the 3 zero stars are for the surly, unwelcoming and shambolic waitresses who were on duty on Saturday 7th October. Won’t be going back soon till service improves or I find some friends so I can sit on a table with 4 seats !!!!!!

Cafe stop Great coffee and tea cakes. Lovely friendly staff. Will return.. Been to farm shop many times and love the produce on offer..

Two weeks ago we had workers at home so we decided to go out for lunch. We both fancied a chip butty so we ordered two and tea for two with some extra hot water. The bill came to £11.55. The following day we decided to go back as we’d enjoyed the chip butty so we ordered the same. The bill came to £13.50 so we queried this and this is the response we got. The price of the chip butty on the menu was incorrect and the till was correct, an extra 10p each. We ordered as the previous day tea for two but what we got was two teas. There is a big difference in price. Then charged 50p for the extra hot water but could find nowhere where this was stated. We challenged the person in charge and the answer was that some people don’t always specify what tea they require and these are the prices they have to charge including the extra hot water. No apology and not even any offer of a part refund. We’ve visited the cafe on many occasions including the farm shop but never again.

Gorgeous bacon sandwich with a view. The cakes looked delicious too. The coffee was very nice. The service friendly and quick. Not only is the food lovely and reasonably priced, the view is amazing !

Great friendly staff. Lovely full English breakfast. Decent coffee. Farm shop was great too but my only gripe was hardly any products were priced up. Apart from that! It was top notch guys! The pork pies we took home were amazing. Look forward to trying the garlic butter.....it better be good though at £4.75! 🤣

Love this place. We go twice a month for breakfast, lovely staff and great food. Spotless place, definitely worth a visit

Visited for coffee /cake on Bank Holiday Monday. My daughter and I had scones with jam and clotted cream, whilst my husband had what he described as 'the best bacon sandwich he'd had in years'. We then went and purchased some from the fabulous farm shop. The whole place is lovely; the staff are great, really down to earth and friendly. The farm shop has a great stock of fresh vegetables, ice cream, meat, pasties and ready meals! We were all very impressed. There are also gifts and plants (although £35 for a red squirrel seemed a little excessive!). All the food we saw looked great, loads of local produce and gin and we will definitely visit again. Highly recommended.

Terrible service. Waiter may as well have eaten the sandwich herself. The woman’s eyebrows were vile. Would never recommend to my worst enemy.

I recently visited this cafe again for the second time, this time I fancied the breakfast but not keen on the black pudding, I asked the member of staff if an alternative to the black pudding was available (not all people like). I was abruptly told no but willing to take it off, for the price I find this appalling, infact two other people in the queue commented by saying well that answers my question then, asked a Friend if a bacon sandwich would do, as a business that just lost the shop nearly £40 if include my own order. Setting nice, food like Wetherspoons but 3 times the price

Lina is one of our assistant to served all of the services! She is lovely and very pay attention when she needs a drink to poured on our glasses. Meats are amazing as we already had experienced at previous restaurant we ate that managing this place. 8 thumbs up for you guys! Keep growing The grumpy butcher, see you soon x

Great food and great atmosphere. The BEEF TACOS and BRISKET was very amazing. Amazing service by Agus and all team.. I'll back again. Recomend.!!

I’ve been visiting this gem of a farm shop each week since moving into the area last year. However, this morning’s visit has meant I won’t return.One staff member not wearing a mask or visor & another had hers tucked under her nose. There was also a shopper (who clearly knew all the shop workers as he was chatting to everyone) with no mask at all. No one seems to mind if masks are worn or not. All the butchers stood around chatting with no masks at all either. It’s a small shop with limited space so from a customer perspective it all felt uncomfortable and a little unsafe.What a shame - I wanted to shop local but will not return. It’s a great place, but needs to be better during these testing times at making customers feel safe.

The tearoom food is ok but the service could do with a little improvement and the Covid procedure could do with making a little clearer as the staff just leave you standing there Prob wouldn’t return but it was ok

Living locally my wife and I use this farm shop on a regular basis and it has been great to see them cope so well through the present crisis.The staff always make you feel welcome and are efficient in the way they manage the customers to make shopping safe.I have had to drop the rating slightly though because unfortunately one of their older butchers if you are unlucky to get him can be quite unhelpful.There is a reluctance from him to try and help when you explain that you are shopping for two. And so when we there this week we had to buy a shoulder of lamb that feeds six because he could not be bothered to cut it down for us. And the bacon we bought when we got home we found had not been wrapped properly and just folded with one of their small bags around it instead of being wrapped in the proper wrapping they have. And so to the older gentleman who wears glasses behind the butchers counter, take a look around you at your excellent colleagues and do as they do and put a genuine smile on your face to make customers feel welcome and not an inconvenience to you because we have always had excellent service from everybody else.It is a shame that just one person can spoil what otherwise is a great place to go and shop.

We cannot get enough of this lovely place . We travelled over 20 miles to reach it. There was snow on the ground and a gusty wind blowing but inside the tea rooms it was cosy and warm. Managed to be seated quickly ,just pre lunch at one of the tables by the picture windows overlooking the valley. The food was excellent, the BBQ pulled pork sarnie was enough for two and the chips....... proper home cooked chips....... words fail me! The staff are lovely and eager to help. All together a fantastic experience. Amazing Food with a view to satisfy the soul. The farm shop is well worth visiting too.

Service is the shop was great but in the cafe it wasn't so good. Very good quality ingredients very poorly executed. Ordered eggs benedict bacon was really hard closer to cremated than crispy, poached aggs both hard and barely any sauce so the whole thing was really dry. The OH had the breakfast with similar results clearly quality products but everything overcooked. Given 3 on the basis of the produce and definitely not the service

Their web site states " we are happy to take reservations during the week" - (which we made by calling in during one of our weekly farm shop visits, and then confirmed and amended by 'phone first thing in the morning of our visit) - but what they fail to mention is that they then don't honour said reservation! So as the place was crowded beyond its capacity, and as we stood there in the doorway waiting for something to be sorted out, a couple behind us vacated their table before they'd even ordered. Alarm bells should have rung, but didn't, so we sat there and perused the menu, and then realised that it was bitterly cold with the arctic gale that rushed in every time the door was opened. This could really have been designed so much better. Even a glass screen would have helped enormously. We asked to be moved to another table that had just become vacant and then went to the counter to place our order. The first thing that "jarred" was other food orders and drinks being placed on the counter for service immediately in front of me, which I though was a bit unhealthy and exposed to any sniffles and viruses that could be lurking in the waiting queue. Once we'd ordered service was quite fast - my suspicion is "microwave fast" but even so my wife had to send her food back to the kitchen to be thoroughly heated. Food was adequate but unexciting. Views are good but place feels congested, noisy and cramped, tables are slow to be cleared and there's food debris left uncleared from the floor, and we won't be returning.

Popped in for brunch before heading off to Beverley. For a Monday at 10 am it was very busy even during Storm Ciara. We ordered two breakfast sandwiches which probably took a bit longer than expected, but as cooked fresh, was more than happy. In fact they arrived before the coffee and before the water, which never did. Flat white edging towards a latte if honest, but this seems to be standard where I have been going recently.The food was plentiful, very tasty, hot and the serving staff very friendly. Will be back as I had forgotten how good the food was.

Fabulous farm shop with great produce any gifts. Super cafe with great menu and lovely coffee ☕ comfy seating inside and outside great decor. 🙂

This is a family favourite but you might need to get there early on a weekedn to get a seat as bookings are not taken and it is really popular.The produce is good and the service good as well.The cafe is very pleasant and very clean.Good choice of food and good farm shop for a visit afterwards !

Very disappointing. The farm shop is great, but from my experience the cafe isn’t. The coffee (a flat white) was awful, and the cake stale. I had called in on a long bike ride in need of a refreshing stop and will not make the mistake again. The location and views are stunning though!

Called in for lunch was busy did not realise it was not waitress service as there was plenty staff. So by the time we realised there was a queue .I had pie and peas peas were a bit dry and the pork pie had lovely meat but pastry at bottom was hard not the best sadly My husband had the Yorkshire puddings wrap what a size he enjoyed it and was very full I managed a lovely piece of apple pie and creamStaff very pleasant and was impressed how clean and tidy the place was

Haven't been for a while. Nothing much has changed. The menu seemed pretty similar with a good choice and variety of food available.The food we ordered was tasty enough and of good portion size.The place is clean and the service prompt. I did find it rather noisy and it wasn't that full. Must be the acoustics.Overall a pleasant visit.

We called in for some addition veg and pigs in blankets before Christmas and bought some so called cushion in blankets. They were dreadful. They were horrendous full of salt and not at all nice. The sausage meat which we stuffed out turkey with was a luxury meat from Morrisons and that was really good and the sausage meat which had the bacon around it from the farm shop was dreadful.

Been here many times over the last few years and when I think about it each visit is not quite as good as the one before.

The food was very good, the staff very pleasant and efiecent, but we found the place cold and that was our second visit. We thought may be the first time was a one off. We also visited the shop and found that very cold also

Disappointing visit but the tea was nice. We ordered a hot beef sandwich with horseradish. It was neither hot or with horseradish. Also ordered lemon pepper haddock fillet which wasn’t a fillet and was definitely a reformed fish like you get from the freezer and not what you expect from a farm shop! Prices seems reasonable but not that reasonable when you leave your meal. The tea was nice though.

I'm not one for bad-mouthing local businesses, as I don't think it's fair, or helpful. However, I haven't eaten here for a while and can only say that I won't be rushing back. Having looked through the reviews, it's apparent that I'm not the only one to feel standards have slipped, but there doesn't appear to be a willingness to take things on board.

Quite a spot with the view for a lunch...food excellent presentation lovely and plenty of it.farm shop as all farm shops priced for fresh produce

We had seen the farm shop when passing by one day so decided to pop up for.a late lunch . When we arrived there were a couple of tables free but with dirty surfaces . Two more tables still had the previous customers waste and crockery on which I expected to be cleared quickly.

Sandwich with either crisps OR coleslaw? For the price it should be both and a bit of salad garnish surely. Tea served wasn’t warm enough either.

I have visited here twice previously and after telling family how good this place was, I decided to take a day off work and bring them. On arrival we sat at our table, no table service here so 4 people got up separately to order. The drinks are not given to you and you are told they will be brought over later. One of the meals came out, no drinks still on our table. Two more meals came ten minutes later. Still no drinks. Finally the last meal came. Still no drinks. This was after a 50 minute wait. The drinks were finally brought over and i told the lady one was missing. My hot chocolate also looked nothing like the last time i came, no cream or toppings ( ridiculous for over £3).She went back over to the till and told the girl behind the till a drinks was missing. The young girl shouted "well did you ask them which drink is missing". At this point I got up and left the table and asked for a manager. I asked the manager to talk with me outside and explained that working in management in hospitality myself I was extremely dismayed at what i was witnessing. The young staff were not getting on with work. There were only 10 other customers in at the time. Most tables had dirty plates on from when we came in. A couple got up and asked for a cloth to wipe their table. The way the staff spoke about us infront of us was appauling. Surely the staff could check the ticket to see what drink was missing.

I ordered a sandwich containing one fried egg and two hash browns. It was £4.25. On its own, that's daylight robbery in West Yorkshire terms

Are here last week with two friends. Arrived at 11.45am to a few empty but dirty tables. Had to shift other people’s breakfast plates to one side before we could even sit down.

I’ve been here a couple of times and each time seems to get worse. It surprises me how their little attention to detail spoils the place and eventually drives people away. My wife ordered a cheese and onion toastie for lunch and that’s exactly what she got. No salad dressing or anything to make it worth having. It makes me realise that Shelley farm shop which is no more than 1.5-2 miles away is always jammed. When you ask for the same order there, you get the toastie which is piping hot, a side salad with coleslaw and crisps. And all for the same price I imagine.

Been here a few times due to being a convenient location. Food is ok,a little expensive for what it is. Always surprised how busy it is, I put this down to the nice location. The Farm shop however is very good.

This used to be a good place to eat but there is little care and attention given here any more. The breakfast we had was horrible. Bacon was clearly not cooked fresh and was so rubbery I’m sure it had been sat for some time. You pay extra for scrambled eggs but not poached or fried, what is that about? Tables are an off setup. Service is poor. Won’t be returning any time soon. Incidentally, The Bionic Chef which recently opened nearby is much better quality, we’ll be going there in future.

Called for lunch with two friends. Two of us had smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwiches, and the other had a chicken wrap. They were all lovely. We also shared two portions of chips, which again were very good. The also serve decaf coffee which is a plus for me. Very good overall. Will visit again.

It’s got a lot of promise - great setting and next to a fantastic farm shop. Unfortunately it’s a wasted opportunity. Young and inexperienced staff who don’t excel in customer care, bland food with a distinct lack of care - and garnish! There is no atmosphere. It’s extremely expensive for the experience. Not a place I will visit again.

Great food, all feels like it is homemade specially for you. Staff great and took lots home for later.

We went here for breakfast the other day. The meat is butchered on site. The sausages are amazing. The coffee ☕️ is really good. The whole atmosphere is to be commended. Try the eggs Benedictine with smoked salmon and holondaise sauce. Delicious!

The service was very slow and the waitresses did not seem to know what they were doing and it was very slow to order. They didn’t bring cutlery or any serviettes. The food we ordered was tasty but rather disappointing presentation, literally just a wrap with filling on a plate with some coleslaw. A lot of the burgers looked very beige and not particularly appetising. No colour, no salad to dress the plate. The wrap was literally just filled with meat, no addition of salad or other filling to make it a bit more interesting and imaginative. It’s a shame as it’s a nice spot but overall it’s rather mediocre.

I visited here yesterday after several recommendations on a local forum. I had planned on having a breakfast, but upon arrival, saw they had Yorkshire pudding wrap on the board. The cafe dont have table service which did seem to leave elderly customers a little confused. As the restaurant is quite small perhaps they could try this out? The food came quickly however and was good quality. The beef inside the wrap was lovely. I also got a piece of white chocolate shortbread which was clearly homemade. Both my partner and I really enjoyed it and will be returning. Not something I can say very often!

When i see a farmshop cafe I expect farm fresh quality, the food served there should be an advertisement for the produce of the farm, cooked to demonstrate just how good fresh high quality food can be.

Website says the pork is from a farm at High Hoyland, that all their meats are freerange. Unfortunately the staff behind the counter were clueless about provenance. The older chap was asked; he confirmed not freerange; “we’ve no call for it”, he repeated, disdainfully. So why advertise it? Thorncliffe Farmshop has abandoned freerange pork. A backward step. Backward thinking. Backward management.

We decided to go snow hunting and as a part of the journey and on the way back we called at one of our favourite farm shop and cafe.

Called at 2pm, lunch time rush still in evidence. Very busy, staff rushed, tables not cleared and I had to wait quite a while for a coffee and cake. I chose a piece of, what I thought was fresh, chocolate cake which was stale.

The food here is lovely, lots of choice and generous portion sizes. Would give it 5 stars except that the 3 times we've been it was quite busy and so the service was a little slow and had to ask for the our table to be cleared of the previous customers plates etc as they've just been left.

I've stopped off here several times on my bike rides round Emley and the surrounding area, but only for a coffee.

A great place for breakfast. My son and I had the farmhouse breakfast there was plenty and a well cooked breakfast my daughter had the breakfast omelette (it was large) and the wife had poached egg on toast. The make a good coffee as well. Not badly priced for what we had. The view from the big window is amazing could sit there all day looking at the view. Friendly staff will have to go back and try lunch.

This farm shop comes complete with a very nice cafe with a good menu friendly staff and also very clean. The food is good old English farmhouse cooking. You get plenty of food on your plate so come prepared. The cakes are also very nice. Once you have eaten then the farm shop is a must. The butchery dept is fantastic and if you don’t see what your looking for the staff will help you find it.

Together with my beautiful wife, we visited Thorncliffe Farm's tearoom for an early lunch. We were NOT disappointed. The tearoom is a very well appointed space with several tables providing for couples or larger groups. There was an extensive inhouse menu and a blackboard with specials. I went there intending to have Pork Pie and peas ( having sampled their home produced pork pies in the past ) However I was seduced by the blackboards Yorkshire Pudding Wrap with pulled Pork, and a portion of chips. It was to die for ! and also included a pot of thick tasty gravy. Marion chose Thai fishcakes with a chilli dip and chips. The chips were clearly ' fat homemade ' ones and were delicious. The food was absolutely beautiful, it was served very promptly by very friendly staff.

Went for lunch with family at Thorncliffe for the first time.

Only reason to go is because the food is lovely. I always get a full English breakfast and I can’t fault the produce. The location is great and it has some fabulous views. However that’s where the positives end.

called for the all day breakfast and was very disappointed not only with the price which would have been ok if the produce were of farm shop quality & the cooking was terrible

Always a good breakfast here at a reasonable price. Local produce and quick, friendly service. Great farm shop with excellent pies!

I love coming here. The food is great, the shop lovely and the staff really nice. My elderly mum especially loves coming here on the rare occasions she is able to leave her house. But as she now has mobility problems and needs to use a walking frame (and she has a blue badge) she finds it too hard to get to the cafe from the car park if we can’t get close enough. As there are no disabled parking spaces it is hit and miss if we can get a space close enough. Otherwise, we have go elsewhere and she misses out on her favourite steak and ale pie! It is such a shame as a lot of older people like to come here and enjoy the cafe. Please please put in some disabled spaces!!! It would be 5 stars then!!!

Called in at lunch time (midday ish) and managed to find a table in the already busy dining room. The room is not big with maybe 12 tables of various sizes.Light and airy with large windows. Orders and payment taken at the counter then the food is waiter/ress served.

Came to shop in the farm shop, haven’t been in years due to living away so hadn’t realised they had a tasting room. My little one decided he wanted to eat so this was a great find. Due to the time, had to opt for breakfast which was delicious and plentiful, although the staff were extremely accommodating, my little boy didn’t want breakfast so they let him order a burger from the kids lunch menu. Can’t wait to visit again to try the lunch menu for myself.

I chose battered fish goujons from the Special Menu and they were awful. The "batter" if you could call it that was a very dark brown and the fish was very dry, when I complained to the waitress she informed me they were bought on and re -cooked. Also 2 of my chips were completely raw. I would have thought a "special" should have been cooked from scratch by a chef. I had taken my friend out for lunch and she was also not impressed with her tuna fish cakes. We were offered a complimentary drink but we declined -I think a refund would have been more appropriate

I regularly go here for lunch during the week and sometimes go for breakfast on a weekend the food is always full of taste and made from excellent produce.

My wife and I come here regularly, usually for breakfast. It is by far the best in the country. Fabulous, large portions and not too pricey. The staff are brilliant, nothing too much trouble. The breakfast, minus beans and tomato, which I can't eat. Coffee also superb.Come here soon!

Family of three adults and one infant, we arrived at lunchtime and quickly found a table. The tea room was immaculately clean, with a very good menu choice, with all food cooked and prepared to order. We opted for a giant pork pie served with mushy peas (fantastic pork pie), ham, cheese and tomato panini, and a tuna melt sandwich. Both sandwiches served with home made coleslaw, fresh salad, and home made chips. Finished off with a bottle of ‘Landlord’ ale. Wonderful team of Staff too.

Visited yesterday lunchtime. Packed so had to sit at table for two by door. Our coffee and sandwich arrived very quickly which did surprise me as they are notoriously slow. I did want to comment as other reviewers had complained over staff. In the past maybe but the young lady on yesterday was lovely and worked all the two hours we were there. Our cheesecake for after was divine. We did move tables when it quietened down as it was draughty. Only observation I would make was after leaving at 3 and going into shop when leaving we noticed chairs up on tables. Not good when 6 people were still in drinking. By co incidence a colleague commented that she took her mother in at 3.30 for coffee. Staff took two chairs down for them to sit on leaving rest up on tables. Not good atmosphere. 9 out of 10.

Weekend morning breakfast. An enjoyable full English and nice latte in pleasant surroundings. All the staff on our visit were friendly. Happy to recommend

We stopped by for our anniversary lunch; it was busy, but we were served quickly. My husband had the lamb burger and enjoyed it, but the wedges that came with it were limp. I ordered the prawn salad, which was a huge disappointment. Firstly, the portion size for £8.95 was tiny and not worth the money at all. The salad consisted of a small amount of lettuce, one cherry tomato cut into quarters, a couple of slices of cucumber cut into strips and a sprinkling of onion - I asked for no peppers, but doubt that would have made a significant difference to the amount of food on my plate, (photo attached). It came with two standard medium slices of brown bread. There were shell remnants on the prawns too.

First time I came here, and it was perfect. Probably the best cooked breakfast I ever had! The sausage was very high quality, and all cooked to perfection!

As a regular customer to thorncliife tasting room, i am dissapointed with the staff members running it. After waiting 40 minutes for my steak burger, it came looking rather well done, however the cheese wasnt melted enough within the burger. The staff behind the counter was rude, and not welcoming at all. I was disspointed. In the farm shop i couldn't praise the butchers enough, welcoming customers with a smile and truly are a lovely set of people who are very helpful. A young lady called Lucy (from the shop) overheard my conversation about the cafe to my friend- she couldnt apologise enough for the experience and asked if i would like to make a futher complaint to mangament. At this moment in time i was angry, but as she was so understanding and helpful i thought i would leave the complaint,as she was such a caring young lady who genuinely wanted to make the experience better for us . The cafe needs more staff members like the butchers and shop members, always happy and smiling.

I took my elderly mother out. We visited the cafe. The tall girl serving us was cold and unwelcoming. She was sulky and and unprofessional. By way of example, we ordered a flap jack. It was handed to us in a packet. I asked for a plate. She said 'Do you actually want a plate? I said 'Yes". I thought, how naive, is my mother expected to eat it out of the bag? Next thing, the tall girl was laughing and flirting with two young men at a table outside. My mum said "Perhaps it's because I am old?". Needless to say, it wasn't the happy occasion for my mother. We won't be going back to Emily Farm shop.

Wow!! The Yorkshire pudding wrap is fabulous with chunky chips and thick beef gravy! Very busy place but I do have to agree with other reviewers, some of the younger staff were so miserable they just couldn’t be bothered which does leave a very bad impression.

Very friendly staff, great full English breakfast which was fast and hot and there was a beautiful view. Will definitely come back! You can visit the farm shop as well which is great, well stocked with fresh produce and some lovely pots.

Some of the staff (not all) should make the effort to cheer up a bit, especially with their 'welcome', as mentioned elsewhere in reviews.

Was greeted with a grunt, is it too much effort to be greeted with a smile.

A lovely blonde lady that we had never seen there before greeted us nicely and opened the door for us.

We have been for breakfast this morning and it was cold so was the coffee and tea. The staff were not friendly they ignored us when we arrived.Also the chairs were dirty. Ignored again when we left. Will not be visiting again. 1

Had a wonderful breakfast, thank you to everyone at the farm shop tea rooms, the food was simply amazing, fresh hot and served with a very cheery smile. Nothing was too much trouble, the decor and atmosphere were second to none, would certainly recommend and...

Me my son, sister and niece all went for some lunch this Saturday afternoon. Have

We had driven from Chester and were early for our visit to a friend's house so I looked at my TripAdvisor app to see if there was a place for coffee nearby. I looked at the reviews for the tea rooms and I decided that...

Been coming to the Tea Rooms since it first opened, always had great service and great food. SO WHAT'S GONE WRONG!? All new faces and none of them very friendly. Food poor not up to the usual standard, which is a great shame.

Decided to call for a bite to eat whilst been in the area having noted on the menu for hot sandwiches 3pm deadline for serving 3.30pm for cold sandwiches .Having browsed the menu and decided our choice checked the time 3.20 pm headed to order only to be told we couldnt have any sandwiches as stopped serving at 3pm when i pointed to the menu and it stated 3.30pm for cold the young waitress asked other staff did they know it said in the menu 3.30pm for cold food then i was informed no persons were available in the kitchen the young waiter then informed me they would have to sort the menu out ?.This used to be a good place to eat 2 years ago not anymore Dearnleys Tea Room can win hands down !wont be coming here again !

Floor very dirty especially near the door! Tables also dirty and I observed them being wiped after being sprayed and the cloth looked dirty.

We used the farm shop today and we were very disappointed by the attitude of the man who served the meat. My husband said he didn't want a particular piece of meat he was being offered and the member of staff dismissed his request and would not change it to another piece. We'll continue to use Blacker Hall Farm Shop. Didn't go there because of the roadworks in Flockton, but we won't let that put us off next time. The customer service is always friendly and very helpful there unlike this place!!! And it wasn't the first time we experienced this attitude from people behind the meat counter!

Visited Thorncliffe Tea room on Wednesday 4th April, Surprising it wasn't very busy as on previous visits we have had to queue for a table.

Visited this restaurant recently and had cause to complain about the food which we did via email, we received no response , re sent email, again no reply, not even a acknowledgement. Decided to give it another try, this time taking up seating in line with the kitchen area. Most of the food is reheated in the microwave and very little proper cooking seems to take place . At nearly £20 for a pulled pork and pulled beef sandwich, portion of chips and a couple cups of tea , I feel sure better value could be found else where with produce really cooked from scratch.

I ordered an English breakfast, as I'm allergic to eggs I asked if they could be swapped for hash browns - both items are available as an extra on the menu for the same price but they wouldn't do this - poor customer service.

The cafe is excellent the food was great and not too pricy. It is quite small and the tables close together. The shop sells some amazing foods.

With huge thanks to the folk of Thorncliffe Farm Shop, Emely Moor. For the the first time in my life my car was stuck in a snow drift (fierce wind blowing snow across the road): and they came out and spent time in the bitter cold with shovels and a four-wheel drive to kindly get me back on the road. Their cafe is deliciously great and their shop is excellent – but this help was really''above and beyond''. I don't know their individual names, but thank you so much for such good and helpful community spirit.

Well worth a visit great breakfast will set you up for the day! Their other choices are well cooked and presented by friendly helpful staff.
