Ulnaby Farm Shop & Cafe in Darlington

Great place to visit. Has lovely sheds outside to sit in and the table service is excellent. Food was delicious. I got some sausages from the farm shop downstairs they were lovely. There was a big selection of items and homemade food there too.

Good Cafe with farm Shop. Childrens play area and outside sheltered eating area.

Small but cosy cafe, with an attached farm shop. We enjoyed our visit .

Loved it!! Go out of your way to find it!!

Excellent service and quality at a good price 👏 👍 👌

A very serene and nice place located in the heart of the countryside. Friendly staff who serves coffee, tea, and bakery. You can also do some grocery shopping as well! Bought eggs, flour, and locally made butter… try it, you will enjoy it for sure🥰

Lovely cafe with a farm dhop. Outside huts are snug. Staff were very friendly.

Lovely little find just outside Darlington.

Had a very tasty lamb burger with salad and crisps. Staff were lovely and friendly too.

Good food & service. Dogs welcome in the outside area where they are wooden huts with tables & chairs for dining outside.

Best short ribs I have ever slow cooked.

Nice cafe good selection of farm food and what looks like homemade cake/scones. My one gripe is the opening hours they shut at 4 they stop serving 3.15 they seem to close down mop up at 3.30 .

Lovely Farm shop and cafe,great selection of meat and produce in the Farm Shop,reasonably priced to,we will definitely be back

Excellent meals value for money

Coffee was bland. Pretty disgusting. We went for lunch they don’t do lunch just jacket, potato scones and Panini‘s we had 2x lasagna with salad, £21 with two coffees, very small portions. Oh yes and a pile of crisps. We won’t go there again. Small portions, expensive

Really great - get there about 10:10 and the fruit scones are just coming out of the oven - pleasant staff great selection of local produce in the shop and a small play area for children :)

Good farm shop and cafe. Food is tasty and staff are friendly

Nice little farm and coffee shop

Always good. Great cakes, nice place to grab a coffee with friends.

Great coffee and cheap potatoes!

We came across this place by chance when my sat Nav redirected us off the A1. How great a find! Very quaint patio area with sheds to dine in as well as an indoor cafe. Animals to fascinate the kids in the fields. We will be back next time we're in the area.

Nice cuppa coffee, toilets play area cake few animals parking easy to find, nice staff.

Can only say about cafe bit but it feels homemade not mass produced .drinks were tasty .worth a visit also do a shop cant comment

This place is a little gem. The food is lovely, the sourroundings are great. A couple of animals bordering the play area (behind fences). Grand kids love it here.

Lovely place, animals are very friendly, quirky little play park and a cafe. Lost a star for not accommodating allergies/intolerances.

Had an excellent meal here today, always busy but staff are very professional and well organised . Would definetly recommend.

Gorgeous little shop. Lovely friendly staff.

Such a delightful place. Few little animals, fabulous farm shop and homemade food served in the cafe and in the open. Also 4 snug little huts animal themed.

Bit featureless, nice food tho.

My grandson loved feeding the animals and the food in the cafe was fantastic also farm shop hase good quality meat and cakes all frozen

Lovely situation, friendly staff and lovely food

Small but lovely farm cafe and shop. Great staff, good food, excellent home-reared meat in shop - take home some Belted Galloway burgers!

Great little cafe and farm shop selling meats, sausages, pies and cakes. Bought a medium joint of beef and pork plus other chops and sausages, staff wrapped in bubble wrap for journey home. All still perfectly frozen when we got home after 3 1/2 hours. Thank you...

Small cafe selling home made food Farm shop small all meat seems to be frozen We went for Acorn butter which is excellent

Absolutely lovely but really expensive £2.25 for a can of lemonade in the cafe

Great cafe selling tasty food, produce and gifts. Great for a family outing as they have a play area too. If you want to taste the best beef ever then try their black belted Galway. You’ll never want any other type of beef again!!

Bit expensive for my taste .But food and service are good.

Lovely little cafe with a small but tasty menu. There is plenty of out door seating including some pods to protect against the weather.

Lovely seat in the sun outside on a bright day. Our flat whites needed more coffee.

Lovely cafe and shop with farm fresh produce. Excellent quality food and drinks. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Lovely little peaceful place, nice food, friendly staff, plenty to browse through in the shop and some nice covered outside seating.

Great place for tea and a cake. Also has a lovely well kept playground for small children. Views are lovely on a clear day.

A lovely find while enjoying the Yorkshire countryside a perfect place for a coffee and a bit too eat.

lovely food . good service family friendly cafe, with a hint o history and a great play park for the kids.

Just been to the Ulnaby Farm Shop for the first time since lockdown. Just as good as ever, but now with eating “pods” in part of the car park. EXCELLENT! 👍👍👍

Simple yet tasty food, all home made, with caring staff. A perfect example of a family run business at its best.

Llama, donkeys, goats, farm shop and cafe. Their menu is a bit more limited possibly due to Covid but service was fast and the burger was decent. Friendly staff.

We had a lovely visit here last week. It was a nice suprise to find it as none of us knew it was here. Staff were very helpful and our lunch was nice. The Farm Shop was very impressive & we left with full shopping bags🙂Theres a an outdoor play area and some animals. Its in a quiet spot & suitable for young or old.There is a ramp for wheelchair users so that you can enter the cafe.Theres also an outside seating area & some small sheds to sit in if its raining.Our 2 1/2 year old neice loved it too.

Nice little farm shop and cafe, with gorgeous views. The food is very good with the best potted mushrooms I've tasted. Please dont ever take them off your menu!

Lovely food, play area for the children and animals to pet

Great cheese burger and cake, luckily weather great to sit outside, there is restricted seating inside but prefer to be out

Beautiful little cafe and shop. Not really busy so feeling that this is a hidden treasure! Very friendly staff and lovely surrounding. Park for the children and little huts to keep you out of the sun. A MUST VISIT place..

Picked up some tasty food at the farm shop, and had delicious coffee and cake in an outside booth. Nice refreshments while listening to the birdsong. Good selection of cards and things too

Nice farm shop I can visit on my way to Piercebridge farm shop for something different

Always a pleasure to visit and able to enjoy good coffee.

Lovely staff and location. Didn't eat this time, but the food is always good. The shop has lots of amazing food and quirky gifts.

We walked to Medieval Ulnaby Farm shop and arrived at 15:30, website states open til 17:00. Sign at entrance said open til 16:00. No problem still plenty of time to grab a take away coffee. Unfortunately and much to my chagrin staff told us they were now cleaning up and were no longer serving. 30 minutes before the place even closes. The staff were unapologetic and showed no empathy that we had walked 4 miles to the get there with 30 mins before closing timeAs we stood at the entrance we saw the same staff driving out at exactly 16:00. I guess their priority is not the customer.I unequivocally can say I will not darken their door again. No customer should be made to feel that they are an inconvenience.

Really great place to shop for meat. Excellent quality, lots of unusual cuts and competitively priced. I go every week for pork, lamb and beef. Favourites are lamb henry, short beef ribs and oxtail.

Lovely shop and cafe staff friendly service tip top

A real hidden gem with amazing staff and absolutely first class produce!

Excellent Farm shop full of locally sourced produce as well as quirky foodstuffs from slightly further afield. Wonderful cafe with a delicious selection of homemade goodies. Also quality gifts! And to top it all off? A wonderful play park with cute animals! A dream within a dream!

Lovely. Great scones .and coffee.

Very friendly staff. Nice food. Using covid safe practices at the moment.

Very friendly staff. My granddaughter loved the play area and feeding the animals.

Coffee served in disposable cups and cake in a paper bag! Off to Mainsgill next time.

Meet friends for coffee on a wet day so sat inside felt very safe good covid rules in place. Staff all wearing masks and visors, asked for name and numbers for track and trace. Coffees very nice and served promptly. Only one family at a time allowed down stairs to shop. Well done Ulnaby.

Always a pleasure to shop and eat here.

Lovely farm shop selling nice food and has a play park and animals for the kids to see

The cafe is doing an amazing job of putting in place safety precautions for the current pandemic. They have a one way system in place. They are also only letting one family downstairs at a time which makes me feel safe to return. The cafe is open for take aways and has a selection of foods available. They do a delicious bacon sandwich and my daughter enjoyed one of their homemade scones. The staff were really friendly and happy to help. They were reminding people to put a face mask on if they didn’t have one on.Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning.

Was told of this place by a customer and she was not wrong, little gem fabulous food play area and animals to say hello, will be back very soon

Ive never written a negative review before and try give businesses benefit of doubt, especially in these strange covid times.Sadly can no longer recommend this cafe.Have visited many times with family members and friends and been happy with quality in past. Today served cup of pale beige fluid I thought was weak tea..no probs, they got order wrong i thought(id asked for an Americano)...nope told was actually americano. Speechless, weakest coffee I've seen let alone an americano. Chose not to make any further issues of it as they weren't interested at all.So voted with my feet.Shame they did this.

Nice ice cream, litlle cafe inside and a shop as well as a park for kids and a little donkey.

One of my favourite places to eat when allowed. So during these unusual circumstances we are continuing to support them. Take away drinks and scones also farm shop open. Great one way system in place. This time we bought home made frozen cake, home made scones and bread.

During these unusual circumstances this Farm Shop is offering takeaway coffees. One way system, hand sanitizer and only two in shop at a time.The shop is open with all it's usual delightful food. Meat, cakes, biscuits, fresh veg, fruit, eggs, etc. So had a coffee, brought home frozen cake, scones and our usual bits and pieces.

A great place to go. Lovely cafe serving home made food and meals at a reasonable price. There is a small shop area with interesting gift ideas. Stairs( which may be too much for those with restricted mobility) go down to the area where all locally produced meat and other homemade pies etc are displayed in freezers. All the staff are very friendly and obviously good cooks. Not able to comment on outdoor staff as we never met any today. The toilets are located in the car park as is the entrance to the children's play area. There are various farm animals that the children can see ,sited adjacent to the playground so they will have a fun time. We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be going again.

We needed somewhere local to Darlington for a family ‘meet-up’, and Ulnaby farm shop had been recommended to us.Although we hadn’t booked, the staff were very accommodating and actually moved tables around so that the six of us had plenty of room.There is a blackboard with daily ‘specials’ and also a general menu with plenty of variation.We all thoroughly enjoyed the choices we made, the service was brilliant and we would highly recommend this venue.I can imagine it will be even better during summer months. There is a lovely play area for children and alpacas, donkeys and sheep in a adjacent field.If you want a tasty lunch, with great service, then look no further.We will definitely return.

Great place to visit. The cafe serves delicious home cooked food. We bought some produce from the farm shop. Very good quality and reasonably priced. Nice outside area with plenty of parking and a large children’s play area. We will definitely visit again!

Our first visit of 2020 one of our favourite places to have lunch. Limited menu but everything is freshly cooked so may be a wait at busy times. Home made cakes, scones and desserts.

Staying at my son's in Darlington and he introduced us to this gem. All the meat is either from their own stock....Belted Galloway Beef, or is sourced from ethically reared or grown suppliers. We had Rb of Beef for Christmas dinner and it was tremendous, succulent and beautifull flavour. We also bought cheeses once again absolutely delicious. I'm only sorry I don't live anywhere near enough to frequent this place on a regular basis.

Called in Cafe this morning for first time, it will not be our last. Food was delicious and so was the coffee. We bought some meat from the little farm shop downstairs all good quality and reasonable. Staff are lovely, thank you for a lovely experience in your Cafe.

A helpful website gives details of opening times. There are no reservations, so just turn up. We thought we were in for a long wait as all tables (about 18 two person, less if fours) were occupied. However, one was quickly available. It is clearly popular. The waiting staff were good; attentive, but not overly so. As they were full, the order took a long time to arrive. Pleasant food from a small menu, and they were happy to change some bacon from one meal to another. If you need a gift or some farm produce you can buy these as well.

Fantastic coffee and cake and a great farm shop

Visited here today for lunch, spur of the moment, superb food, lovely helpful staff, will be visiting again and would highly recommend.

One of my favourite places for either morning coffee and cake or lunch. Home cooked food and baked cakes. Friendly staff, clean environment and delicious food. Lovely shop down stairs.

A good choice of food, comfy seating and good service from friendly staff. Have always enjoyed the food whenever I have visited and I am a regular visitor.

Faultless. food to died for.lovely coffee .will defo recommend to everybody. Well done to owner and friendly staff

This is one of our favourite places for morning coffee and cake and lunch. Served in a clean, friendly environment made with local produce and freshly prepared. Downstairs a well stocked shop, with there own beef and homemade cakes.

Lovely fresh food in the coffee shop made to order with their own produce.Great farm shop and little gift area

Shop sells top quality meat from own animals and the cafe serves excellent food and cakes. Well worth a visit .There is a play area for the kids and plenty of parking

We visited here for lunch a few weeks back whilst we were in the area and had the hot beltie beef bap and the hot fudge cake to share. The food was incredible and everyone was super friendly. A fantastic place for anyone to visit if you are in the area!

Children friendly and lovely home cooked food.

Would be much better if staff were happier

I really enjoyed this morning’s visit to the farm shop and café. Staff were friendly and the facilities are great. Nice coffee and ice-cream. The gift shop has some lovely products. My daughter loved the play area and feeding the animals. They seemed well cared for.

Staff friendly all home made food

We went on Sunday lunch time. Table for four by the window. I have been many times with our Grandson today his Mammy and Daddy came along for their first visit. Four different meals ordered four empty plates says it all. Warm welcome, clean conditions and lovely food. You cannot ask for any more plus a play area for children using the cafe.

Great food, great atmosphere and great staff , I go every week and sometimes twice a week .I volunteer for a charity and I sometimes take elderly people with mobility problems and the staff are very helpful and go out of their way to help .

We didn't have time to sample the cafe but stocked up on food from the shop for our rental cottage. The quality was absolutely brilliant.

Good cake lots of things for kids to enjoy

Nice place to take the kids,good cafe,just need the sun
