What a fabulous farm shop and cafe. I could not recommend it highly enough to anyone with children. Plenty of space, plenty of high chairs, lots of choice for children and adults from the delicious food, cakes and snacks. Lots of fruit on offer as well as other lovely healthy options.
The play area was fun in the glorious sun and the staff were friendly to. We'll definitely be returning.
we LOVE lunch at Hartley Farm. Fresh food, good solid menu with excellent daily specials. One of the best values around. Lovely staff too!!
Very helpful staff and delicious food. But the farm shop is the gem here - so much on offer, served in a traditional way - a butchery counter, fresh fruit and veg, and a wide range of dry goods and other groceries. There is also space for children to play while the adults relax. All in all, one of the modern farm shops which have adjusted so well to the demand for a different way of shopping for high quality goods at reasonable prices. Oh - and they have a great gift shp, too.
I must have driven past the turn off for this farm shop a hundred times, but never even clicked it was there. He who must be obeyed suggested that it would be a good suggestion for lunch, so off we popped!
I don't know how long the restaurant and all the other bits attached have been there, but it looks brand new. Clean and tidy when you drive up and a good amount of parking - nice touch to have accessible parking right by the entrance.
We went in to the restaurant, we had booked in advance, and sat down. Staff are friendly and not in your face - bonus!
We had the padron peppers and whipped goats cheese as shared starters and both were delicious. The ghosts cheese, with chunky slices of courgette, was fantastic.
I opted for a moving mountain burger and his lordship had the staple from Naples pizza. Again, both were out of this world. The burger came with salted rosemary fries, which I could have eaten a bucket of! Pizza seemed to be ok, as it was wolfed down very quickly!
A really great lunch in fantastic surroundings - even if it was a bit rainy. Highly recommend you try this gem if you are nearby.

Great farm shops/cafe. Food was good. Farm shops really nice as well. If I’m the area will visit again! Very dog friendly too.
Wow and wow!!! Such a great place. So good I'm still sat at the table while I write this review!
We decided to share and had ploughmans and the pulled pork pizza. We watched the chef pull the pizza dough so knew the food was really fresh. The ploughmans was very pretty on the plate. Lots of ohs and ahs as each different bits were sampled, fabulous food.
The staff were so friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Cat for the extra plates to divide up the food.
The atmosphere is really bright and cheerful 😊 ☺️ 😍 🥰 .
Good price we didn't feel robbed always nice.
Child and dog friendly.
Breakfast next time!
Really excellent lunch here. The beef ciabatta sandwich with chutney and salad a stand out. Rosemary fries were delicious too. Big selection of hot and cold drinks. Friendly and helpful staff. Very busy, but quick service.
Nicest chicken dinner I've had in a long time and fellow diners were just as complimentary about the roast beef and pork belly options. We were a large party and that seemed to cause the odd problem service wise with some things turning up that we hadn't ordered while the odd thing we had ordered didn't. But all got sorted out and everyone had a good time. Would recommend.
Visted the barn cafe a few weeks ago for Sunday lunch. The food was delicious and good value for money. My only minor grumble was that I found the metal chairs to be quite uncomfortable
Really good food. New larger cafe space been built now and the food offering is really good and trendy! My pizza was delicious 😋
Great farm shop!
We love this place and have been going for years. Great food (esp Sunday Roast), great place for families, great vibe. I always get our Christmas food order from here because you just know it's going to be high welfare and excellent quality - but also next level flavours. We asked them to cater for our summer garden wedding (2022). I don't know if this is something that they had done before but they took on the project (despite having many of their own!) and the food was spectacular! It was just what we wanted - our day was perfect.
Popped into this place on our way back from a walk along the Kennet and Avon canal for a cup of tea and cake,would of had something else but we were to late as they stopped serving hot food at 4 o’clock.
Never the less it’s quite a nice little farm and gift shop with plenty to do for the little ones,there is plenty of parking and indoor and outdoor seating for the cafe.
With lots of fresh produce in the shop and plenty of fruit and vegetables,we bought some free range eggs.
