White House Farm Cafe in Broadland

We visited for a breakfast. All was beautifully cooked, hot and fresh and probably the best breakfast I’ve ever had actually. Served by the chef herself.

Unfriendly reception. Website said open until 4pm. We arrived at 3.52pm after a nice long walk. Chairs were already all up on tables indicating they had been ready to close for some time. No cakes left on counters. Two women were present. I looked hopefully at the one behind counter. She said “everything is turned off. We close in eight minutes”. I asked if we could have a quick drink? She said only something cold nodding to cold shelves. My husband and I fancied a tea or coffee. No offer to out kettle on for quick mug of tea. There was one customer sitting outside with tea. I enquired if they had any cakes. “Just those croissants” she spat out - looking towards a few sad, dry looking pastries on otherwise empty shelves. No pleasantries or apologies were offered. We were clearly very very unwelcome. Won’t be rushing back. Horrible atmosphere.

Have just visited White House Farm Cafe, first time since the pandemic. We live locally and eat out for lunch regularly. We had 1 x tea 1 x small Americano and 2 x bacon butties. The food and drink were OK but at £21.90 we found our lunch very expensive compared to other places nearby.

I enjoyed my visit to White House Farm whilst staying at Norwich for a few days. The cafe in particular was nice with so much choice of home made cakes!! I had breakfast there which was really delicious and later had an Oreo brownie which did not dissapoint. I’ve not tasted a brownie like that before and will definately visit again just for that brownie!!! I’ve only seen gourmet brownies like that on instagram reels!!! It’s really nice to visit an authentic farm with home made goods as we don’t have many of those in London where I’m from. I will definitely visit White House farm again with my family and hope to buy more brownies in bulk for my trip back. Do you do a postal service for the brownies?

Nice farm to stop by for lunch or coffee break (vegetarian options available) and Dotty Pottery is a great addition to the farm. With family can easily spend couple of hours painting away. All painted products take few days to fire in the kiln so recommend do this activity beginning of the trip and pick up the artwork or they offer delivery service with a small charge.

Nothing wrong with the food or the coffee, however there just isn't enough of it for the money. Restaurant prices for a café service I am afraid.

Visited with a friend recently and was disappointed when they didn’t do things on the menu. No reason why, it was just a ‘no’. The lady was pretty rude. We opted for eggs Benedict which had a very over whelming about of sauce on, no one clesred our plates for the 2/3 hours we sat there! We used to visit this place offer, and they always has nice fresh food, with fresh fruit but nothing like that is available. Won’t be back in a hurry!

Have visited on several occasions and seems to be going backwards. They've now stopped serving the "all day breakfast" at 11:30, despite the fact it still says all day very clearly on the menu. After arguing with the cashier about it and being told it wasn't available opted for a sausage roll which was quite nice, but further let down by the lack of cake selection which was limited and contained very basic options (flapjack, and a very dry looking Victoria sponge). Probably won't return

Called in for coffee and cake. I cup of total froth and the other was fine but when asking for another one as one had been done wrong I was argued with and told that happens. Very rude and what has happened to the customer being right. I will not recommend this place or returning soon. The tables also need a good clean

Coffee is ok but the price of a bacon roll is horrendous at £5.50. The quality of the bap felt like it was mass produced whereas a roll from a local baker would have been much better quality I suspect. A nearby garden centre do a bacon roll at £1.99 which is far more acceptable. Definitely will never return for a thing cooked.

It is a cafe with bistro prices yet not bistro flavours. Coffee is very bitter and doesn't match the price. Can of soda is 1.70p. Limited cakes on offer, the ones I have had (on different occasions) have been dry, perhaps stale? There are much better priced cafes that offer better tasting coffee and better selection of fresh cakes.

First time I had been, but a frequent choice for one of our party. Order on arrival at the till point and then go and find a seat - you are given a spoon with your number on it. Coffees, teas, sausage rolls and almond croissants ordered and arrived promptly. Everything was spot on, and the sausage rolls weren't cheap but very tasty and succulent. I would side with some comments that the middle+ aged lady could be a little more welcoming and friendly, she could learn a bit from her younger colleagues. Make conversation etc. For this reason I hovered between a three and four but plumped for a four.

Butcher has no hygiene standards what so ever. Went from cutting raw meat, wiping his hands on his apron to handling cooked products. This is not safe by anyone’s standards. Cafe was expensive for a takeaway only service,.

unfortunately the lady in the cafe was very unfriendly and unwelcoming, poor choice of menu especially as was expecting healthier options, imagine due to the current covid but other cafes offering much broader range, also pricey, and lack of use of toilet not really acceptable when you are eating in.

Fabulous kind staff and a pleasure to visit which was often before the lockdown hit us all , Can't wait for our propper return but we have still enjoyed our collection food .

Lovely atmosphere with good service and delicious coffee. We went on a pretty busy day but were easily accommodated.

My friend was looking at the barns with a business opportunity in mind. So, we decided that while we were there, we would grab a bite. I chose the butternut squash and goats cheese quiche with salad and coleslaw. It was quite nice, although I couldn't taste the goats cheese at all, but cooked well with a lovely pastry, they were kind enough to get some salad dressing when asked as well. 1 person chose jacket potato with chilli and cheese, which she exclaimed to be fabulous! The other person chose a panini sandwich and said it was very nice. I must say that if I was a dessert eater, I'd have been very tempted by the cakes!

We walked here with a few friends and our dogs for a cuppa and a snack on a cold Saturday afternoon. The food was great as our previous visit and the reason we returned again so soon. The sausage rolls are superb and the cakes just as good. The dogs behaved so well and the staff brought them some dog treats which was very kind. We will visit again soon hopefully warm enough to sit outside but I am possibly being a bit optimistic until March or April time before we sit outside.

The full English is very good. Could have been hotter and my personal preference is for poached rather than fried egg. Doorstep toast. Local produce full of tasty sausages and bacon. Latte very good.

Invité a una amiga a desayunar después de comprobar que estaban abiertos, pero me sorprendió descubrir que no había un desayuno vegetariano preparado para ella. Le hicieron frijoles con tostadas, lo cual estaba bien, pero creo que debería haber más opciones. Servicio amable, buen estacionamiento, precios razonables y una tienda de granja muy agradable. La comida era deliciosa y el servicio era bueno.

Visitamos un sábado por la tarde con algunos amigos para tomar un té y un aperitivo para una puesta al día antes de Navidad.Eran alrededor de las 3. 30 entonces estaba un poco más tranquilo entonces.Paseamos a los perros aquí, pero se les permite entrar, aunque estábamos preparados para sentarnos afuera.Los rollos de salchicha que tuve que probar como me dijeron que son muy agradables por mis hijas, que era.Nuestros amigos también tenían un pastel que también era muy agradable.Bastante caro pero de buena calidad, así que no tengo quejas.Fue un buen lugar para ponerse al día con amigos y lo recomendaría encarecidamente.El personal fue muy amable y servicial, así que volveremos a visitar pronto.

Lovely friendly staff who always make the wife and I so welcome , and those "Cheese scones" are something else simply wonderful.

Wonderful visit on a very blah day. A bit wet but we came prepared. Nice selection this year on the pumpkins as we went too late last year.Had some nice coffees and a brilliant cheese scone. After seeing some amazing looking sausage and bacon sandwiches come out, we had to have one of those too!Wonderful service and scrummy food. Glad we showed up when we did because the flood gates opened and the farm shop became very busy while we ate.Definitely would visit again.

First impression was good, dog friendly, nice atmosphere and surroundings, but in order to justify the prices they need to clean up a little, sauce bottles on the table were mucky with congealed sauce, table was sticky where food had been rearranged rather than cleaned off, and even the numbered spoon given when ordering was unclean. Plenty of staff to do all this too, a shame.

Popped in for a late lunch and there was not a single vegan option available sweet or savory. They have soya milk for drinks yet clearly not forward thinking enough to cater for anyone other than mainstream. Very disapointed.

Midweek lunch. By 12.45 they'd run out quiche, baked potato, sausage rolls and coffee cake. Turgid service too. Won't return.

Went for a lovely Sunday stroll with dog in tow and ended having tea and cake in this delightful cafe. I had coffee and walnut cake and my hubby had chocolate fudge cake washed down with a pot of tea for two. Delicious cake.

First visit after a recommendation, really nice breakfast and friendly staff, definitely worth a visit

Having travelled round the NDR (what an atrocious road) & trying to navigate to WHF through a ‘rabbit warren’ of a housing estate. (Jeez Persimmon.....you should be seriously embarrassed) found it (WHF) closed!!!!!!

I previously left a negative review of the White House farm cafe so its only fair I now leave a positive one . Against my best wishes I was talked into returning and I am very glad I did .

I live close by as I recently moved into this area and walk up to the farm regularly. The food is of really good quality and a decent coffee. The staff, to date, have been nothing but pleasant to me and they have fresh veg and fruit and plants and even a butchery there. A little stove to sit next to on a rainy day and events like plant and easter markets.

Visited this cafe for the first time. Only had time for mid morning coffee but the range of cakes/scones looked delicious! It was quite busy and had a nice atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Will certainly visit again.

Called in early Saturday morning for sausage butty and coffee. Very pleasant and clean. Polite and helpful staff. Food tasty, hot and quickly served. Will be trying the lunch menu in the near future.

Well, a very busy café that can only get busier with the large Blue Boar development across the road. it’s worth seeking out. Dogs allowed. It has an Aldeburgh ‘Maltings’ feel to it.

Our daughters have recently moved in to a new house across the road from this very attractive and inviting place. Therefore I am sure this will not be my last review.

I recently visited this cafe when we came to the Christmas market. The cafe was very busy, but we got our food and drink very quickly. The cake was lovely. All the food looked great and I would definitely come back if I was passing. The farm shop looks great and it is definitely worth a look around to see if there is something you might like

Very good cafe and farm shop. Tasty cakes and big pot of tea - enough for 2 cups each. Wide range of fresh produce and interesting selection of cheese, meat etc. Easy parking too. Well worth a visit

We were very disappointed with our cafe visit as the cafe was extremely cold and we, and other visitors, sat with coats on throughout our coffee. We visited with a baby and I found a highchair but the safety strap was broken. I told staff and asked for another highchair but was told they only had one! After about 30 minutes the baby slipped down in the chair, banging her chin on the hard wooden table and burst into tears so we left. I've since seen the reviews on Facebook concerning a feeling that parents with small children are not made to feel welcome so we won't be visiting again.

This is a family run (pick your own) farm shop where the butcher is the star turn although the cakes and hot food in the nice cafe are very good and freshly prepared

Great venue - lighthearted signs getting you to destination!

I had a similar experience today as a reviewer in October when I asked what gluten free cake options I had looking at a wide selection of cakes displayed on the counter. With a sweeping hand I was told that nothing there was suitable but I could buy a gluten free cake in the shop. I then had to find something suitable in the shop, take it back to the counter to order coffee. When the coffee was brought I pointed out to the waitress how offended I was as a coeliac that I had to trail round the shop to find something suitable and that it felt like a second class service. This is a great farm shop and cafe but I hope they will consider their gluten free customers with greater respect in future.

Out for family lunch. Attentive staff. Food very tasty cooked to order and served quite quickly. Tea served in pots that pour and not spill. Pleasant surroundings though table quite sticky. Overall value for money.

This was our first time to the White House Farm Cafe, they were very busy got the last table for 2, we decided to have a cappuccino and scone, we thought for the size of the cup and scone was expensive at £9-50 for 2 people, the downside for me was, there were no prices showing for the scones and other cakes which is a bit naughty, plus I noticed some of the staff when serving the meals or hot drinks didn't seem to know where they were going, after all it's only a small cafe.

Visited today with my husband for a cup of tea and a cake. It was extremely busy and so I joined the queue to order. The queue also included people who were paying for goods they had bought in the shop - including many people who were also buying pumpkins. When I reached the front of the queue I asked about gluten free cakes but was told there were none but that sometimes they had gluten free cakes. I was then told that there were some gluten free cakes around the corner in the shop. If I had gone to get the cake, I would either have had to keep a long queue of people waiting or left the queue and then rejoin the end of the by now very long queue. I suggested that they should have some of the gluten free cakes in the cafe area every day. When my tea and my husband’s hot chocolate and cake arrived, I spoke to the waitress who told me that they often had gluten free cakes but had been busy. No-one offered to get any of the cakes for me or apologised that there was nothing for me to eat. I know that staff were busy but I felt that no-one cared and that no-one was bothered. How easy is it to put out some gluten free options each day?

I visited today with my friend. Very busy, never seen such a mess on the floor from earlier diners, I asked twice for it to be cleaned up. Meal was very small to say it cost £6, one of the staff could be seen eating through glass in door, not a problem until she came back into cafe and started serving without having washed her hands, then to our surprise had more to eat, didn't wash her hands again and was still chewing her food while serving customers. Also, I hate it when nothing is priced in a shop, it was too busy to keep asking the price on everything. How on earth do they sell anything??? I won't be returning.

We visited White House Farm today as a family to pick pumpkins and decided to have a bite to eat and drink before hand. Unfortunately there wasn’t a single vegan food item on the menu and when asked if they cater for someone with a dairy allergy that answer was a straight up no. So myself and my brother sat and watched my family eat their meals feeling pretty hungry.

I remember this farm from when I was a child living in Sprowston. No cafe or farm shop; it was just a farm, doing what all farms did.

Had breakfast on Saturday morning and unfortunately spent the rest of my bank holiday weekend with D&V; and a fever. I had a soft fried egg, while my friend had a hard fried egg. Some hours later, and having eaten nothing else, I was violently ill while my friend was fine.

Great little cafe, loved the sausage rolls. There are interesting shops around such as the pre loved clothes and gift shops. However the stand and out feature is the butcher...brilliant sausages and burgers as well as the beef.

I adore this little treasure and the cakes are LOVELY!!! It’s cute and cozy and there’s nothing to say that will take it down from 5 stars. You must visit!!!

Had a lovely afternoon with my family. Nice dish of a light lunch. Home made sandwiches. Would love to go back go lunch again!!

Visited to try out the farm shop - very impressed with legs and meat. Then tried coffee and cake which was all very good. Good service form helpful staff. Will be going back.

Took my granddaughters strawberry picking yesterday. They loved it. Then went to the farm cafe , which wasn’t as much fun!

Visited with friends and our children. Food was delicious and served promptly. The farm shop was filled with lots of tempting treats, and the sausages from the butchers section were delicious. A couple of little shops to browse through. Will be returning to do PYO.

The good. Well cooked full English. Reasonable cost. Quality ingredients. Comes with nice toast and lurpak butter.

Visited this cafe for the first time, arrived early for lunch 11.55am and was told by the young lady, that lunch wasn't served until 12.00pm, so I said that I would sit and wait until they were ready to serve lunch, as she continued to serve other customers Tea, Coffee etc, it then got to 12.15pm and I was unsure whether to go to the counter to ask or she would come over and take my order, she approached another family who arrived after me and had been waiting too and said that they could now order, I then politely asked if I could order and she said yes go to the counter, the lady who took my order was very friendly and lady who served my lunch was very friendly, I found the younger lady not helpful or approachable. The food was nice but I was hoping for chips with my lunch but got crisps, which I presume were the chips, all in all was okay but don't think I will go back.

Girlie get together for coffee and cake, but we opted for their homemade sausage rolls. They are almost a meal in itself, totally delicious and washed down with a pot of tea.

Visited here today with my family for lunch. We were not disappointed. The food was delicious and the staff very helpful and friendly. The surroundings were lovely too, nice and clean. The Farm Shop had a lovely choice of fresh fruit and vegetables and the sausages we bought from the butchery department were delicious. We will definitely return.

I love this place. Family run farm, friendly, great produce!! Tried the cafe for the first time last week and really enjoyed it. I ordered the quiche, it came with salad and delicious cole slaw! I am very picky about this cabbage salad and very impressed. The quiche was ok, but a bit cold. Accompanied by a generous pot of tea in a beautiful teapot, it was a satisfying lunch.

Lovely new place to meet with friends and family. Coffee lovely, but could be a bigger cup or mug. The cakes are amazing and the size of them make up for a small coffee. Staff very friendly and helpful.

We have just recently moved to the new estate in sprowston so as white house farm cafe and butcher's is now only a walk away we decided to take our 3 young kids for lunch.

Been passed many times, so thought it was worth a try for a breakfast. Not at those prices, thank you. Almost £4 for a fried egg sandwich on plain white bread! Paninis (sic) almost £6-£7!

I popped in with a friend for lunch as I have used the butchers in the farm shop and always found their produce to be excellent . We both ordered a bacon sandwich and while the bacon was as lovely as expected it was served in possibly the worst bread I have ever eaten . Plain sliced white bread which , by the dryness ,the way it crumbled and the way it fell apart , I can only assume had been defrosted from frozen . Why you would use such terrible bread in a beautiful farm shop is beyond me . Such a shame .

The very first problem is finding this cafe which is in the middle of the new housing estate in Sprowston. Once found, one can have a look round the few retail outlets there and then go for a coffee or what-ever you want to eat or buy. Then comes problem number two. Being near to this new housing estate the coffee shop is generally full of mums with kids. Not too bad except that mums and kids means buggies also and lots of noise. We visited this cafe in the school holidays and left when we couldn't find any seats but today we visited again thinking that the kids would be at school. Wrong! Lots of mums with young toddlers and even more noise. The young staff have lots to learn re. customer relations and are too busy chatting with folks they know to worry about us older customers. The food is ok but the prices are quite high and the coffee needs some attention as it is very weak and watery. Will we return? No, not anytime soon.

Visited today for the first time to meet up with friends. Very busy but cleared quickly once lunch was over. If possible, best to avoid between 12:30 and 1:30pm. Nice, cosy cafe feel. Staff were friendly and helpful. Fairly limited menu but this is an observation rather than a criticism. We had a combination of filled baked potatoes and bread and soup and everyone was happy.

as I would not have travelled far and wide to here. A bus driver told me about it so decided to go for some home grown things and then have lunch. The bread was dry and not at all thrilling. The cakes looked all right but I do not do sweets.

Popped in the cafe for a toasted tea cake and cappachino Sunday lunch time.

We had a lovely lunch in the past but very poor last weekend. Ordered a chicken and bacon sandwich with melted cheese and bbq sauce but it arrived with no sauce or cheese!! We sat outside and when a waitress brought my water, we mentioned this and she said ‘We’re very busy, what do you want?’ When I said that I would like what I had ordered, she replied ‘I can bring you some cheese!’

Visited here a few times when it first opened and it was very nice. Don't bother now. The last few times they have run out of food way to early,overpriced and miserable faces. Sticky tables and flies on the cakes that aren't covered. Think they've got too big for their boots. Wyevale Garden Centre just up the road is way nicer.

My sister and I popped in for a cuppa and I had a sausage sandwich on brown. It was superb and as an award winning sausage I bought some sausages to take home to enjoy.

My wife and I thought we would pop in for lunch as we came to buy the award winning sausages which look amazing and sold to us by a really nice butcher top bloke .

Lovely spot for breakfast on a sunny morning! The food was tasty and the staff were very friendly. The new developments nearby really add to the place too. My only recommendation would be to add more tables and chairs to the outside area as it was a bit limited and maybe some flowers/decorations as is was a bit bare.

We wanted to come here for lunch yesterday, we followed a big diversion to get there and came down a path unfit for cars, only to find that the place was closed. no signs at the entrance. then had to drive back down the unfit road. from reading previous reviews I dont think we missed much.

Planned a lovely trip out with the family for PYO strawberries and lunch... to be told when we get there that they have no strawberries to pick?! No big message to say that on the website.... when you dig deep into the photos you manage to find one of a cake which says 'patiently waiting' so ok... they didn't say strawberries were ready but hardly advertising they were not opening the fields yet. Anyway... thought we would stop for a coffee and cake seeing as we had driven 20 miles to get here... to find they have hardly anything left!! They managed to drag out a bit of rocky road, which I will say was amazing! For a place that had been recommended to us we all ended up leaving pretty disappointed! Feels like a place that has got a little too big for its boots?!

Vegetable Shopping - Was extremely disappointed at the state of the vegetables, they really should not have been for sale! Will not return

Came here Saturday 7th Jan with my friend for hot drinks and cake. Really enjoyed our visit. The cafe was lovely and our drinks & food were great. Reasonably price and lots of cakes available even though we came about 2.45/3. I had white chocolate cake which was a little too sweet for my liking and couldn't finish it all but did taste lovely. Absolutely loved the crockery out drinks and cakes came on. Only negative I think to 50p for a small amount of marshmallow is quite steep. Would defiantly return.

Want to meet out of the city for lunch or cake! This is a fab place to catch up with friends and eat delicious cake too!

So good to visit a non chain cafe! This place is bang on form. A great farm shop with vibrant stock and for £6-60 had a near perfect man size chicken baked potato (actually properly baked)with a cup of tea, colourful salad, dressing and chutney. Only change would be to bin the packet butter.......Check out the photo. Chain cafes and supermarkets better watch out!!! Lovely staff too. Thanks Mach.

Looking for a quaint place for a coffee and snack, remembered we went looking for pumpkins here and had seen the signs for the farm shop. Really impressed how they are making it a lovely little shopping area with HarvSalon, florist, gift shop and the farm cafe and shop. Had turned up just after breakfast orders finished at 11.30 but they were happy to make us sausage sarnies and bacon butties, locally produced sausages were fabulous, had to have a home made cake, rude not too! Victoria Sandwich and the girls had Coffee and walnut. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, will be going again!

Great food to eat in or to purchase in the farm shop which has a great selection of fresh fruit, Veggies, eggs (even double yokers), apple juice made on site with their own grown apples and many other local specialty offerings. Depending on the time of the year produce and products do change of course.

Use this place a lot as for me it not only has the best butchers in Norwich with a very good selection of quality meats but also local produce that knocks the spots of supermarket stuff. The cafe is one of a kind, very quaint selling good quality cakes sausage rolls hot baps etc and great coffee at good prices, the staff here always have a smile and are probably the politest for miles. Roll on summer for the fresh strawberries

We visited here at half term with family and enjoyed a range of fresh panini's stuffed with locally sourced meats and other produce for lunch. The kids and adults were all very happy. We were then tempted by the home made cakes....amazing! Lot's of lovely things to browse and buy in the farm shop too, including some great sausages. Well worth the drive down the track from Blue Boar Lane, It's tucked away but so close to Tesco this will now be a regular haunt.

Just popped in whilst passing and enjoyed our visit great service great coffee and snack .Have visited Whitehouse farm before during the summer and found the same friendly welcome. Sure to visit again in the near future.

A nice stop off for coffee and scrummy cake. Good farm shop / butchers too (got some super bangers). Also got a great real xmas tree here last year

Me and my partner visited here after being told by friends it was really good!

Really surprised the cafe doesn't really cater for young children. I explained I had a toddler and was served a massive white bap filled with grated cheese and was told the only drinks were those in the chiller cabinet. The woman serving couldn't have been less interested. A sarnie/drink/fruit combo isn't out of the ordinary but I felt I was asking for something they just hadn't thought of. Long wait, service without a smile, very uncomfortable seats, very expensive. Didn't want to hang around. Had to laugh at the A-board asking for staff, smiles are a must, apparently. Er, pardon? Tell that to those you already have. Feels like someone is spending too much time writing twee signs for everything in sight, not enough on training and customer experience. Such a shame.

Good place to get ready for christmas lots of things on offer, there is plenty of parking pace,wheelchair acces good food on offer is very good,or you can a tea /coffee.

Went for lunch for the first time on Thursday with 2 Friends , 1of which is gluten intolerant , leek and potato and pumpkin soup was delicious ,was disappointed that there was no gluten free bread !!

Delightful cafe minutes from Norwich and yet in a beautiful country setting. Great coffee and choice of cakes and simple food - all delicious. Great fresh produce all local and an excellent butcher! And bonus of a farmers market in the square outside once a month. A real gem

I have never felt so ripped off. Pumpkins

My wife and I live just down the road in Catton and are visitors to the farm from time to time. We were delighted to find out that a shop/cafe had opened.

We dropped in on a Sunday for coffee and cake. It states as you drive down Sunday hours 10 - 4.00pm. We walked in just before 3.30pm , had a look around, not really much there for a farm shop, the butcher was clearing away so you couldn't see what he had to offer. So we went to get the coffee, at the counter i was told they were shut, i asked why when it say 10 - 4.00pm. We shut at 3.30pm i was told. What a let down this place is. I do hope when all the units are rented out it is better than it is now

After visiting today other than the butchery which is excellent where we purchased quite a few items I wouldn't bother with the rest which is expensive. How thay can call themselves a farm shop I don't know, they don't have hardly any fresh vegetables for sale like they used to,they seem to have gone down more for the pick your own route which is okay but there should be more available fruit and vegetable wise,potatoes etc. Also it seems as if they are more interested for the future in going down the Jimmys Farm Route with more commercial enterprises at the expense of being a farm shop.

Visited after a brief call at Wyvale garden centre opposite. Wish we hadn't bothered as found White House Farm cafe very expensive and rather disorganised. Who wants to order tea and then go and sit with a numbered spoon to wait for the tea to arrive. How long does it take to fill a pot of tea, why the wait.

Visited the 'cafe' many years ago - was just a shed in the middle of a field, now what a transformation! Loved the signs leading to the cafe, made us laugh! A good varied menu even my favourite breakfast food -served at lunchtime, a fried egg bun, 2 eggs!

Excellent called in at the weekend. Took my grandson the butchers is very good as is the fruit. Best Rasberry's had for a very long time. Great place to pick your own quality fruit

Went with my youngest child who was bored at home. Having been before, I was surprised that houses are being built along the driveway into the farm. Another change for this year is the deposit you have to pay, the signage said that walking and over had to pay the deposit. On the day I visited it was £2 per person so I paid £4 for my 4 year old and myself.

Cafe doors all closed so was very hot inside. Would have liked to sat outside in the courtyard but poor quality uncomfortable garden furniture only, could be really nice. Tables all sticky/covered in crumbs, staff miserable, tea in a cup with a tea bag on side (no teapots ?) and cake was dry. All very amateur and could do with listening/reading reviews.

Stopped by the cafe after a lovely morning picking strawberries and Raspberries. Cakes were delicious, very generous portion sizes and good value for money . Lovely setting and friendly staff . Looking forward to our next visit .

Went for a very pleasant coffee and cake while the grandchildren were on the farm with their dad. It was reasonable but as others have commented not the greatest value. Later in the day we all returned and the service was slow despite the order being for a coffee and brownie only. The presence of flies on tables not properly wiped down with residual crumbs is really not the greatest testimonial to the place. Also if there is a toilet which there is why not put a sign up on the door?
