Vegetable Matters in Cotswold

Used to be a favourite stop, but really disappointed this week to find that the menu of good, fresh food (what else, for a farm shop?) had been pared back to pasties, filled croissants and sausage rolls and the like. Gone were the soups & sandwiches. No vegan options.

Biggest smiles and friendly welcome as soon we arrived at the cafe and asked if we could sit at an open table on the terrace to absorb the sunshine and breathe the fresh air whilst appreciating the Cotswold countryside view. A reasonably priced menu with fresh farm produce options. Three of us selected the Frittata ( cheese and mushroom) topped with a selection of baby leaves which was delicious, although being rich. Another tried the quiche of the day; generous portion of quiche with lots of baby potatoes and a well presented salad, all filled with flavour. The moist, pleasing sized slice of freshly baked coffee cake to finish with a variety of hot drinks was really yummy too! Gluten free cake options available too. Excellent, friendly service without being rushed at all despite the cafe closing. Clean toilets well stocked with hand soap and paper towels are always appreciated, as they seem to be a rare find. Baby change station combined with a wheelchair access toilet was noted. 25 minutes pretty drive from Stratford upon Avon into the Cotswolds on a very narrow road leads to now, one of our favourite spots: Vegetable Matters. Highly recommended for hearty healthy food and cakes for that sense of further euphoria 😊

What a delightful find not far from Paxford where we were staying. Quality products used, good menu choice, with “choose your own items” for the Breakfast menu. Best cup of tea in a long time. Friendly staff, dogs welcome too. Would have liked to have lunch there but were returning home. Well stocked Farm Shop and Butchers. Even stocked our favourite Llaeth gooseberry Diolch and Da Iawn Caroline, Eddie &Joe, Llanelli, South Wales

Wow what a find wish we had discovered it earlier. When we arrived there were no indoor tables however the staff were so friendly and said they would be able to fit us along with our dog in asap. The cafe and shop are immaculate. Service was excellent food lovely and came quite quickly. Presentation was beautiful. One of the best cafes we have visited if not the best. Visiting again this time for breakfast.

Food is amazing and excellent value! Something for everyone.Staff all very friendly and welcoming.We love this place and views are gorgeous 👍

Great to Visit during Day time Hours Breakfast, Lunch, Afternoon Tea Also Great Fresh Farm Vegetable Shop & Butchers Local Walks to

Really nice hot lunch, on a rainy Tuesday.All tables full on arrival, but we didn't have long to wait, before one became available.Mum & I both had Cottage Pie, piping hot, and very tasty. Service very good, and attentive, followed by a veg and apple pick up in the farm shop afterwards.Noticed that the Butcher's (Robbie Walker), is also now open. Great combination.

Wonderful fresh, full English breakfast complete with granary toast, washed down with properly tasty coffee. Very friendly staff, prompt service and good COVID precautions. And we picked up some great fresh local veg from the shop as well. Recommended.

Popped in on the way to Ilmington for a quick breakfast. As normal great food, great atmosphere and friendly staff. All Covid precautions taken.

This shop is well stocked and very well organised. The cafe also is well worth a visit. Efficient friendly service.

Verduras frescas, comida fantástica, gente encantadora.¿Por qué no irías a Veg Matters? Tienen una amplia variedad de alimentos cocinados para llevar o comer. Amables, cómodos y siempre frescos, como la variedad de verduras que ofrecen.Ahora tienen un carnicero en el lugar que es realmente bueno.Este lugar se está convirtiendo en una ventanilla única y es una joya para visitar.Chris y Lou

Traté de conseguir una entrega de verduras. Tardó años en comunicarse solo para que me dijeran que el caballero volvería a llamar en unos minutos. eso fue hace tres días. Que broma. Eso sí, fue en la calle 1 de abril que llamé.No los intentaré de nuevo.

Very good menu, helpful and friendly staff. We all had jacket potatoes which were really tasty and filling, the salad was very fresh.

Enjoyed another wonderful breakfast poached and scrambled eggs with bacon just the best by a long way served by friendly staff that are always looking to help. We just sneeked in and got a table that was booked for 45 mins later. booking is essential as the word is out on how good this place is!

Walked down to where we were staying. Just got the last table as really busy. Very bust place. Had to wait which was expected but lovely breakfast. Good shop brought some eggs. Great place

Unfortunately due to the flooding we could not go to the Cheltenham Races so decided to have Brunch at Vegetable Matters. It was a very good substitute. As always the service was excellent and only surpassed by the quality of the food. Between us we had a Full English, Creamy Mushrooms (very generous portion) Smoked Salmon and Cheese Toastie, the Soup of the Day Sausage and Egg Bap and Bacon, brie and Cranberry Toasties. Everyone was very complimentary about each of their choices and as always thre food was served quickly and well presented, there is no ownder this is such a popular cafe. The Shop was, as always,very well stocked with superb fresh home grown veg and interstingly they are just adding a proper butchery - this is a greatb place to go if you are anywhere near Ebrington, it never fials to impress!

Pedimos un café rápido, tardó mucho en llegar, creemos que la leche de soya era leche de vaca. Los cafés eran súper fuertes y las comidas para llevar son más caras que las comidas, lo cual es muy extraño: 3. 25 Para un pequeño café. muy caro.Las verduras son geniales, ¡solo ten cuidado con el café! !

Our second visit and just as good as our first! Brilliant breakfast everything on the plate was freshly cooked and piping hot on doorstep toast. Served by happy and smiling staff. The whole experience is outstanding

Had a wonderful lunch today at this delightful remote farm. Inexpensive, delicious and friendly service. Huge portions and everything extremely fresh. Stunning views of farmland & luckily enough to sit outside in November sunshine.

Si está buscando productos de origen local recién cocinados servidos en porciones abundantes, ¡este es el lugar! Es una instalación increíble para el pueblo de Ebrington y sus alrededores.Esta tienda agrícola de propiedad familiar ofrece una gran selección de verduras y otros alimentos de calidad en su tienda especialmente diseñada, sin embargo, tiene la ventaja del restaurante para complementar también. ¡Las opciones de comida varían desde desayunos, brunch, almuerzos o simplemente tés cremosos!¡La mayoría de los cuales se cultivan o producen en la puerta!Amplio estacionamiento, excelentes instalaciones, excelente comida, excelente relación calidad-precio, personal extremadamente amable y cortés, una verdadera joya de lugar.Debes detenerte si estás en la zona, no te decepcionará.

This farm shop allows you to eat and shop for your fresh vegetables and fruit at the same rime. The food served is deliciously fresh, whether it be poached egg in toast or something more elaborate. Service is always with a smile. Plenty of parking. Highly recommended.

I was taken out here for an afternoon tea with my auntie and uncle who are regulars and have lived in the area all their life.We were a table for 7 and we reserved ahead of time. They were ready for us and greeted us when we arrived. Friendly greeting. I ordered a cream tea. The scone was delicious. Hot and fresh the smell was amazing!I the clotted cream and jam made it so special. We had a lovely tea. Lovely service and setting. Lots of fresh produce to buy after also

Top quality produce, good coffee and lovely selection of dishes, all fresh and well cooked the service welcoming and informative.

I visited here today as I discovered it on a leaflet in my kitchen which had been left by landlord. So glad I visited, it’s so sweet and the owner is lovely, he cut me some complimentary sunflowers which are absolutely stunning. Produce all fresh and just picked that morning, fantastic quality and more than reasonable prices. Avoid Daylesford and go here instead! Thank you. Also have vegan cake!! A bit hit with me

We stopped off for Breakfast and have to say it was excellent, fresh cooked, hot on the plate with thick slices of toast. Pleasant service and very dog friendly. When we asked to buy flowers in the shop the r went and cut them fresh for us. Well worth a visit but do book as the word is out about this place !

This shop was not so far from the B&B where we stayed. We saw the sign of this shop and also the details of the menu in our room. We drove there and bought some fruits and had tea for our tea break but not food. An interesting to shop and next time if we were around there we would try the food. I asked and knew that Gluten free scone was available for those who can't eat gluten like us

Great food, baked potatoes are wonderful for a light meal but also main courses on offer as specials look goo. Cooked breakfast is marvellous.wonderful staff and owners. Best scones in the Cotswolds. Very dog friendly. Not cheap but good value. If you want to eat get there before 4.

Staying with friends in the Cotswolds we were recommended to go here for our breakfast on our way home. So lovely! It looks good and the staff are very friendly and attentive. The choice of food and drinks is excellent and we were all really impressed with the taste, quality, variety and presentation. Could not recommend more highly. The fresh produce for sale was of a very good quality too. Wish we lived closer!!!

I can't review the food as I didn't have any - it may be very good. However, as service stops at 4pm (3.55 pm when I visited and the farm shop also closed an hour early), the opportunity wasn't there even to buy some of the good looking vegetables and fruit on show. This was all done in a spirit of not being bothered about customers and ensuring the staff went home.

Very good, of it's type. Salad very 1970s. Pepper and orange etc surprised no sweetcorn. Not trendy. Not cool. Needs work if wants to be modern. Avocado/sourdough/poached eggs. Good shop.

We arranged by phone to bring our walking group on 30th May. As a group of 16 we arrived at 9:30 am to pre-book our meals for lunch time. The menu was interesting and varied from ‘very special’ at £11.95 ‘specials’ at £6.95 and toasties for £4.95. When we returned three and a half hours later to our reserved table we had excellent service and our meals were delicious.

What a way to cap a couple of days off, than a walk in the sun down to the local Farm Shop!We timed it just right - a couple just left.Food was delicious! Scrambled eggs were perfect and you could tell the quality bread was fresh! We topped off our little mini escape with a cappuccino and tested out one of our new board games (we brought our own because we’re board game fanatics).Perfect for families, hikers, bikers, passer-bye-types.. anyone wanting great coffee and break.All staff are friendly and dogs are welcome Thank you for doing a great job! One of you locals

Fantastic farm shop and cafe , lovely friendly staff , excellent range of produce. The cafe is always busy and understandably so. Excellent disabled access and a lovely sun terrace.

We went for lunch on Saturday and as there were 7 of us we booked (it is now advisable)Our family group included a 91 year old as well as a dairy free daughter and 3 year old. We were met with the usual friendliness and shown to our table. We were not rushed to order. Our food was very good and dairy free provided. My 3 year old grandson saw my smoked salmon on scrambled egg and decided he would like some. Despite the cafe being full, the staff immediately provided him with a dairy free scrambled egg in a child friendly bowl and cutlery. After lunch my daughter bought her vegetables( all locally grown) while the 3 year old was kept amused on the tractor outside. My daughter bought potatoes and was interested to read the information on the walls about the different varieties.The veg were carried to the car. for us.

Met a friend for a light lunch at 12, and the car park was heaving! Most tables inside had reserved signs on them. Goodness, it’s a little cafe in the middle of nowhere...., who would think you’d need to book. Anyway, we did get seats at a table that wasn’t booked till 1.30. They always have a soup of the day, a quiche of the day, and a frittata. It was also fish Friday, for fish and chips, and a few other specials, plus their usual sandwiches. Had the frittata.....beetroot and goats cheese, and it was very tasty. The cakes looked gorgeous, but we did manage not to get tempted.The ladies who run this cafe are always very friendly and give service with a smile. On top of that, their farmshop business provides fantastic fresh vegetables and fruit, and many other deli and butchery items. If it’s warm enough, the terrace outside has beautiful views over the cotswold countryside.

Arrived in Ebrington too early to gain access to our holiday let, so stopped here for a quick cuppa and a bite to eat.The staff were all really friendly and so helpful.On their recommendation we had the cream tea and were not disappointed. Freshly baked scones (fruit or plain) with cream and jam and enough tea to revive us after our 2 hour journey.Sitting outside in the sunshine with a beautiful view was an added bonus

We live locally and go for tea or lunch about once a week. It's always busy which it deserves to be. Food is excellent. They do proper meals as well as sandwiches, baked potatoes and full English breakfasts. Great home made cakes too. Wonderful walks from ebrington village up to ilmington hill. Cafe has a map outside showing some walks. Lovely sunny terrace. Very dog friendly. Best to phone ahead and book if you want to go for lunch. Cafe closes at 4.

Called in for a pot of tea and had the most delicious scone I have ever tasted!!!Delicate, melt in the mouth, warm, slight crisp top but not browned by over cooking. Certainly be going back to try other dishes listed on the chalk boards in the cafe .The staff were very welcoming even though we arrived close to closing time on Sunday afternoon.

This is truly a outstanding place to eat, the food is well cooked and magnificently presented. We have been many times whether it is breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea you are always welcome and the food is first class with a variation of menu. The staff are helpful and very pleasant and of couse it is dog friendly. Highly Recommended first class to stop for food which is not expensive.

Visited on a number of occasions for breakfast, lunch or just coffee and a cake. Staff always helpful and friendly. Prices very reasonable and food exceptional. Well worth a visit.

We are lucky enough to live close enough to Vegetable Matters so that it is handy enough to pop in to the café for a coffee, lunch or an afternoon tea, and to visit the shop to purchase some great produce.Our most recent visit meant that we could enjoy a light lunch and partake of some scrummy pancakes on this years Pancake Day, accompanied by our dog George.We would heartily recommend Vegetable Matters café for great service by nice people, and really enjoyable good quality food in a great setting. The added bonus is that as well as being people friendly the pace is also dog friendly, and so George was able to meet various dogs and members of his adoring public in a relaxed environment.The location of Vegetable Matters means that it is a very convenient place for visitors to the Cotswolds, walkers and, if you are so inclined, M.A.M.I.L.s ( Middle Aged Men in Lycra). Fortuitously, this pancake day was mainly “ friendly locals who lunch”. so George wasn’t alarmed by phosphorescent yellow beings.Vegetable Matters is well worth a visit for great produce and friendly service.

Called in for coffee and cake as a number of my friends had said how good it was. It all appeared to be shiny and new, and I gather that it has been opened reasonably recently. Although it wasn't busy, the staff seemed to be too distracted to come and take my order, even though I'd offered to place it at the cash desk when I arrived. The chocolate brownie was tasty enough when it arrived, but rather small. The cappuccino was quite flavoursome, but again small for the price. I would usually expect to pay £5.00 or less for similar Fayre, but this cost £5.65 which I consider excessive, especially for an out of the way village farm shop. The vegetables on sale in the farm shop all looked fresh, but the selection was extremely limited. On leaving, I noticed an EU flag on the entrance sign, which presumably implies that the owners received some form of grant to help with the funding, which to me, indicates much of what is wrong with the EU and why we're leaving.

This is a little gem hidden away in a pretty village called Ebrington, The staff are lovely people, Fresh veg can be brought & local grown & wonderful snacks /meals soups coffee tea in the eating area. lovely setting overlooking miles of fields. & plenty of parking.

Enjoyed a last minute lunch at vegetable matters - freshly prepared and great customer service as usual. Great opportunity to pick up fresh produce to bring home

This is a great place for local grown produce, very irresistible. We have lunch there which was excellent. It is also dog friendly. Well worth a visit

Vegetable matters is a green grocers and cafe/restaurant. If you are in the area of Ebrington then do visit them. You won’t regret it. Their produce in the greengrocers is second to none. It’s all well presented and very fresh. I do believe they supply other local shops in the North Cotswolds. The proprietor and his family & team are very friendly and chatty. The food offered is a wide range of genuinely home-cooked fayre that far surpasses a lot of the local restaurants. Lunch goes on until 3:30 which is useful and there is a comprehensive menu as well as an imaginative Specials board. I had faggots and can honestly say they are the best I have ever had. Made on the premises I was told. My wife had the vegetable curry which she thought was excellent. We were only going to have a cake and coffee but we’re glad we were tempted with the delicous kitchen odours. Very reasonably priced and we will return soon.

Returning from visiting family in Chipping Campden and spotted the sign on the road so spun the car round and headed in for a late lunch.A really nice location, lots of fresh veg in the accompanying shop that looked really good but we were hungry so headed into the small, but welcoming Cafe area.We had Coffee and Tea and both were really good. Food wise we had a mixture with one taking Frittata ( very nice) a second had poached eggs on toast ( soft yolks and good toast) while I went for the Faggots, mash and peas ( Really good!)The cakes on the counter looked really nice but we genuinely couldn’t have squeezed any in after the food.All in all a great place to grab food, really nice staff, a good view across the vegetable fields while you eat and a place we will definitely be trying againThanks

If you want quality sprouts, spuds, etc. fresh from the field, this is the place to come. If you need advice on how to cook or treat your your purchases one of the staff or Peter will be happy to help. With excellent produce and friendly and helpful staff, you can't go wrong. If the vegetable shopping is too exhausting, take a seat and have tea and a cake or two. Highly recommended.

I visited for the first time this week taking my mother and best friend for a birthday brunch. The food was delicious, beautifully presented and service excellent. The shop too is well stocked with fresh produce, little brown paper bags and friendly staff. Very highly recommended. We will definitely be going back very soon.

Having stayed in Ebrington for the week we headed to Vegetable Matters for breakfast on our last morning & to buy some veggies to take home. Lovely little store with fabulous vegetables on sale. We both enjoyed our breakfasts, poached eggs on toast & a full English. Very friendly service, made us & our dog Bailey feel very welcome. Clearly a hit with locals too as many were coming & going, buying supplies & having a spot of breakfast. We visit the Cotswolds every year & will definitely be returning for food & supplies on our next trip. Great to see local enterprise doing well......

We have been here a few times recently. I have bought my veg and had a couple of meals too. Walked here from Chipping Campden for lunch on one occasion. Really FRESH veg, bread and lots more. Always busy when we've been there.

This lunch was our second visit having been for coffee and seen the inviting food. My 90 year old Mother was not sure about the pasta special as it had chilli in it. On hearing this the owner Amanda offered her a 'taste'. Mum subsequently ordered it and really enjoyed it. I went for the Gorgonzola and leek risotto which was out of this world.Being half Italian I know that a good risotto needs care and this certainly had that.The vegetables are very nicely laid out so you choose what and how much you want . If you only want one onion that's what you can have..in an old fashioned brown paper bag, just like the old days You can sit and enjoy the lovely uninterrupted view of the Cotswold hills and maybe even see the workers in the field in front of you gathering the vegetables that will be in the shop tomorrow. There are tractors and old fashioned farm implements on show around and about and I gather the owner, Peter, a tractor enthusiast, is on hand most days welcoming people, and imparting his considerable knowledge of the usual and the more unusual vegetables on sale together with homemade cakes, bread and fruit.I noted a good children's menu . Gluten free available too so I can take my daughter next time.

Had a lovely simple breakfast here before stocking up on fresh produce from the shop. Friendly staff, tasty food and absolutely spotlessly clean. A proper gem on the road from Paxford to Ebrington

We have previously driven past this lovely farm shop and cafe, but today we decided to stop and pop in. So glad we did! Stunning views, such lovely staff and scrummy, well priced food...My husband and I had the Salmon special which was just delicious, whilst the teenagers has tuna melts. Really nice tea and coffee too.Couldn't help having a little mooch around the farm shop and buying a few bits. We had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners, who took the time to talk to us about the sustainable approach they take with their farming.

Farm shop had good selection but a bit pricey, breakfast dining was lovely on the patio and full English veggie was huge. Very popular so on a Sunday morning you may have to wait for seating if the sun is shining. Nice and friendly service , a good example of how it should be done... competition take note ! 10/10

Stopped off here and both had an excellent bacon and egg bun and my little boy had a tea cake. Staff really friendly and we sat outside in the sun. Farm shop is small but great quality and variety of items. Two tractors that the children are allowed to sit on which made the visit enjoyable for my toddler

I stopped off here on a lovely Summer's day and took advantage of the weather and sat outside. My jacket potato and Coronation chicken topping with side salad was extra yummy. The malt cake and butter to follow was also very nice. My only slight disappointment was a tepid, too weak flat white. But the service and setting was great, the staff friendly. I would go again.

Veg Matters is a wonderful place to buy local produce and to indulge in refreshments.I regularly have coffe and cake,but have also enjoyed a great full English breakfast .There have a good choice of lunch options available,I haven’t been disappointed yet.The staff are always friendly and welcoming.

On my recent stay in Ebrington I was delighted to find this wonderful place to buy fresh produce, milk , breads and always receive friendly, welcoming smiles and service! It became my favorite local spot for tea or lunch! Their menu and food are great! I loved sitting outside, enjoying my meal or just cream tea , looking out over the countryside. I can’t say enough good things about this farm market/ cafe!! The owners and staff were always courteous and helpful!!

Had been recommended for its wonderful breakfasts--particularly as,mid-week--it's buy one get one for half price.2 full English breakfasts (1 was vegetarian),toast and 2 excellent,fresh,hot coffees for 20 pounds,Good value with mid-week deal but I would suggest that the portions could be slimmed down(the customers will not!!) and perhaps the price could be adjusted accordingly.Staff very pleasant,decor and ambience excellent.Will return to sample other parts of the menu!

Situated on the road (May Lane) from the Ebrington Arms down to Paxford, I passed here whilst out walking and it looked so inviting I called back in the car. It is a new building, v smart inside with a large patio and a good sized carpark, busy inside with at least 1 table reserved, The Whitby Fish man was there on a Wednesday lunchtime, large breakfast, lunch + specials menu, I ate fruit cake, a huge toasted Teacake with jam plus a coffee, all v tasty and well presented.I would recommend and will return for lunch.There is a very nice veg shop next selling locally grown produce.

Having been badly let down at local pub (Ebrington Arms ) we called in here on route home. Very pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff. Menu a little limited, but the food was very good and value for money - definitely a place to return to.

the cafe is lovely , clean and very welcoming, and also dog friendly, with beautiful views of the countryside, the full english breakfast was amazing, we treated ourselves to some of the lovely cakes, very nice , even the dog got a treat, the farm shop has a good selection, of vegetables and meats which are very good quality, visited twice while we was in the area, will deffinatley go back, i highly recommend this place, thank you for the great welcome you gave us xx

We come every weekend for breakfast or lunch and can’t speak high enough of this cafe! The food is fantastic and they have a huge menu choice. Eveything is freshly cooked so we never mind waiting! The staff always have a smile on their face and have a good laugh with the customers! The shop sells some lovely products and always so fresh!! Recommend to everyone to visit this local cafe :)

Absolutely love this place. Friendly staff. Great breakfast. Lovely coffee. Getting so busy they might need to expand

We are regular customers at Vegetable matters. Food is always superb, staff extremely friendly and attentive and a lovely location to relax. Highly recommend!! A*

We have been to Vegetable Matters a couple of times recently. They have an excellent well stocked Farm Shop with a wide range of fresh vegetables and fruit. However what really makes this 5 star is the great location with lovely views from the sunny terrace. The cafe is superb and offers a good choice of breakfasts and lunches plus a good selection of cakes and pastries. A lovely place for a light lunch on a sunny day. Staff very friendly and efficient. Very popular with locals

Popped in for a fabulous breakfast , locally sourced fresh ingredients. Top quality sausages , bacon and black pudding. Excellent cappuccino. Exceptionally friendly staff which any emloyer would be glad to have . Would highly recommend

Coffee is lovely. Nothing too much trouble. Waitresses are lovely and always smiling. Food is amazing.

Just been to this charming cafe/farm shop and in spite of it being very busy, we had excellent service and the breakfasts were particularly good. We sat outside in the sunshine to maximise the view. Nice all round experience and local grown asparagus to take home!

We visited today for a drink as we had been recommended. When we arrived in the early afternoon we decided to sit outside and admire the nice view of the countryside. We noticed a couple of tables with used crockery etc. that had not been cleared away. However, we found a clean table and sat there. After around 10 minutes we had not been served, so we wondered if we were supposed to go inside to order. My husband went inside and a lady apologised and said she would come outside to take our order. So we waited, and waited........After 20 minutes we gave up and walked out. My husband also noticed even more of a mess inside with dirty tables and spillages. Never again.

First visit today, we live just a 15 min drive away so hoping to make this a regular stop. Great cafe, a warm welcome, choice of sitting indoors or out, beautiful views across the surrounding countryside. Farmshop produce is wonderfully fresh and good quality, meat/dairy supplied from local suppliers. Also fresh bread supplies delivered whilst we were there. Veg box ordering/delivery service too. Looking forward to a return visit.

This is located just outside Ebrington and on this occasion, it was packed. So packed that there were not any tables left but a space eventually came and my daughter and I were so pleased. We ordered ham sandwiches and lasagne. The sandwiches were good and came with an awesome salad. This place has vegetables nailed. If there is anyway to tempt a toddler to eat veg then this place will find it. My lasagne was delicious. Very cheesy and again surrounded by an amazing salad. Overall the food was spot on. I thought the lasagne was a bit expensive but you are getting good grub. Great choice of cakes and naughty things. Staff were tip top. Friendly and helpful. It’s a lovely setting but a bit out of the way but in my view, it’s worth driving out specifically for a nice lunch and if you’re walking in that direction the. You’d be daft not to stop.....

Lovely rural location in an area which is a bit sparse for Cafes. Lots of parking for cars and bikes. Very comfortable outside seating, plenty more inside, service very quick, attentive and friendly. We were a group of 10 cyclists and everyone enjoyed their various cakes, snacks and drinks. My Coffee particularly good and strong, my bacon roll was tasty with dressed salad relish. Did not have time to browse around the Farm shop properly but fresh produce looked very high quality and beautifully presented and worth a visit in itself.Family run by people who care greatly about what they are doing. We will return!

Vegetable Matters is a farm shop and cafe about a mile outside Ebrington. The shop sells a good range of locally grown produce. About half the space inside is given over to the cafe, where all food is home cooked.On first entering we were warmly welcomed by the friendly owners. We chose macaroni cheese and a bacon+ brie sandwich for lunch. This was served quickly and efficiently. Both meals were nicely presented and tasted as they should. The place has a relaxed, friendly ambiance. It was clean and tidy with plenty of light comming from the picture windows overlooking the countryside. Well worth a visit!

Having lost the excellent Drinkwaters in Chipping Campden I was so pleased that the family had decided to open a shop and café in Ebrington where they have their farm. They sell a good selection of local fresh produce together with fruit etc. brought in. As soon as we walked in we could smell the breakfast and coffee being served at the busy café. We only had a coffee and a round of toast but could see the delicious meals being brought out. We will certainly be returning for lunch! It has a very fresh and modern feel similar to the café at Lapstone which closed down last year. This place is a fantastic asset for Ebrington and Chipping Campden and hope it goes from strength to strength.

I went to Vegetable Matters today, for lunch with my mum - my first trip, and my mum's second trip this week! I recognised the colours straight away, from my 'old' favourite cafe, at the former Lapstone nr Chipping Campden, (which closed nearly a year ago).I understand the chef, also previously at Lapstone, is now at Vegetable Matters too. Fantastic! My mum chose Chilli con carne, as it was so good on her first trip, and I chose the Butternut squash soup with a warm scone - very yummy, and filling!Vegetable Matters is only a few minutes off the main Fosseway, via Stratton on Fosse, or for a 'scenic route' , go via Ebrington, which is a lovely little village, also just up the road from Chipping Campden.The Vegetable shop side, is also worth a visit, as they are freshly picked or dug up, and there is a really good variety, even at this time of year.Definitely going on a return visit soon, hoping to sit out in the sun on the patio, overlooking the fields and valley beyond. I'm told by The owner, Mr Drinkwater, that the first field is a sea of in the Summer!

Vegetable Matters had been recommended as a place to buy excellent fresh vegetables etc so we were surprised to find a cafe as well. Had an excellent homemade soup & cheese scone & a Chicken coronation sandwich plus very good coffee. As it's only been opened a short while I think this place can only get better & I look forward to returning for alfresco dining with beautiful views of the surrounding countrysideps Also pleased by the fact there was no piped music

Excellent choice of fresh vegetables and a great cafe,with very friendly and efficient staff. I can recommend the breakfast and also the cakes.

Food if excellent and plenty of it. Waiting staff are so lovely and nothing too much trouble. Proper coffee and proper tea and homemade cakes.. if you are watching your diet don't go here!!! Can also buy your fruit and veg when leaving. Lovely shop adjoining the cafe.

The food is very good with potential to be even better. It's what you would expect, a bit rustic,large portions and fair if a little high prices ( Probably refects area and location pricing)Not quite so sure about the service, it needs improvement but is friendlyThe farm shop side is limited good value for locally produced product less so for salad and bought in stuff.

We called in one Sunday having seen the advertising sign on the road out of Chipping Campden and were delighted with the friendly welcome. The Menu had several tempting dishes but we went for Soup of the Day (local cauliflower) and a Sausage (local) and mustard sandwich. The portions were very generous; the prices very good value. The toilets were spotless - always a good indicator of how a place is run. Worth checking out if visiting the Cotswolds.

My wife and I have visited a few times now and think the cafe and the shop are a brilliant addition to the lovely village of Ebrington.The staff are very friendly, the cakes are lovely (especially the malt loaf), the breakfasts are great quality (and they cater for all tastes and appetites) good value and the view is worth going for alone. The vegetable choice is huge and being locally grown they are really fresh and the prices are very fair.The fact that the place is stacked out with local people days it all really.

We go as often as we can for the superb veg that are available form the shop - it is also fresh and in my opinion good value, the service is excellent as is the choice, we really must try the cafe sometime!

Beautiful location, wonderful selection of fresh food and vegetables. Lovely views across sunflower fields and friendly staff and manager! This wasn't our first visit and definitely wont be our last.

We arrived after a cold but enjoyable walk with an extremely muddy dog. We were warmly welcomed and found table where the muddy dog would not make too much of a mess on the floor, and enjoyed some excellent homemade soup, a superb mackerel salad and a dog biscuit! The vegetables and much of the fruit in the farm shop are fresh as they are either grown on the farm or locally, and are fresh and of high quality. . We would highly recommend a visit.

Very average offerings a bit disappointing for a farm shop. Service was friendly but incredibly slow. We were with my 85 year old mother in law who uses a stick and were kept standing for well over five minutes while staff faffed around deciding how they would group 2 tables together! Also obviously using a microwave in kitchen as potatoes were unnaturally hot and quiche which although tasty was floppy and pastry soft . Salad was nice though but staff need to get in gear a bit as service was slow and forgetful.

I have visited several times, and always been delighted. Service, quality and presentation are all first class. In addition, the Sun always seems to shine on the terrace!

Popped to vegetable matters this morning to do a bit of veg shopping ( fantastic display of locally homegrown vegetables. Decided to have a spot of breakfast . Ordered the full English breakfast . I can honestly say it was the best ever. Beautifully cooked with love and attention . Wonderful local good quality ingredients were used . Coffee was excellent too. Lovely , friendly staff too . Would definitely recommend I would definitely go back.

My partner and I have been meaning to give this place a try ever since we’d heard that it was to open. Well, we finally called in a while ago for a spot of lunch. It might give you a clue if I tell you that we were back again for lunch within a week or so! Food is spot on and from a delightfully clear and not overpopulated menu, backed up by helpful and efficient staff. There’s also the added bonus of being able to buy lovely locally produced veg right there in the same building (when I say local I mean actually in the fields you can see while you’re having your lunch!). The place is situated just outside the lovely Cotswold village of Ebrington so there’s all that to take in, either before or after your lunch. We intend to try their breakfast soon so I’ll be back with our findings on that. Frankly, if it’s up to the standard we’ve experienced so far then it might be a brief review! I suggest you give it a try.

Being relatively local, we always use local outlets where possible.The arrival of vegetable matters has given us the opportunity to buy a wide range of local produce, have a coffee and to eat in the cafe.We recently took some friends from Bray, to have breakfast at vegetable matters, and we were all very content and impressed by the quality of the food and the excellent service.We will be back, and will certainly be trying the Sunday roast very soon.

Visited Vegetable Matters Farm Shop and Cafe today after a walk in the hills. Fresh fruit and vegetables looked fabulous, were all priced and beautifully displayed. We had a quick coffee and cheese scone (served warm and was delicious) as well as bowl of vegetable soup (very tasty and fresh). Great friendly service, spotlessly clean and a lovely building in a stunning location. Will definitely return for lunch - it was busy and we can see why! Would definitely recommend a visit.

This is our second visit to the village of Ebrington and this time we discovered Vegetable Matters. We received a very warm welcome both on a very sunny Saturday with freshly baked scones and jam, then an amazing roast beef meal complete with home grown perfectly cooked veg on Sunday. The place was packed full of happy customers.We highly recommended Vegetable Matters to all, they welcomed children and dogs too.

Vegetable matters is a farm shop and also a cafe / restaurant. We visited to buy some produce -which was well price and very fresh - but we were also tempted by a cappuccino and a slice of home made plum frangipani - delicious!!Friendly table service - we will return for lunch.
