Cute little farm shop with lovely cafe attached. Farm shop is full of fresh deli foods and lots of quirky products to buy. They also have a home section with plates, vases etc
At the restaurant I had the chicken Caesar salad, my brother had the ham and cheese toastie - which looked great.
The Caesar salad was quite average but still yummy. Salad was £13, quite toot in my opinion. But overall the lunch was nice.
Staff where friendly - no table service.
First time to this shop on Sunday. Had Pork roast and Beef. I have to say the star was the vegetables, those were amazing. Pork was a surprise too. Beef was a bit over cooked. But overall still very good restaurant with friendly staff and really good food.
In my mind I think I would give 4.5 (point loss due to the roast beef) but given you can’t do that in google and I think this is a recommended restaurant I would still give it a 5.
Great find! Good selection of high-quality products, from fresh vegetables and fruits, meat and diary selection, to refined oils and pantry items, and some household items.
The place also has a large seating area with a nice menu, and the food looked and smelled delicious. Unfortunately, the place was full @lunch (during the weekend) so a reservation would be a good idea. Instead, I had a takeaway coffee and a pastry, which were both great.
Excellent food selections for grocery shopping and wonderful menu to taste in the cafe.
We tried the Sunday roast beef and everything was cooked exceptionally.
It’s located in a convenient location with available onsite parking.
Just back from our first visit to Smallford Farm Shop….we had breakfast and coffee, the quality of the food was superb….we then had a leisurely wander around the shop, we were particularly taken by the meat counter and friendly chat with the knowledgeable butcher Steve, we’ve just had the Italian sausages, which were delicious, tomorrow we’ve the thick pork chops……we will certainly be back sooner rather than later.
I’m a wheelchair user and had no problem
Wow what an amazing find. Lovely farm shop. Amazing cafe. Roast beef sandwich with the balsamic onion chutney was a real treat. Proper tea made from lose leafs. Staff that smiled and were happy to help even though they were busy. In a tastefull setting. What more could you ask for?? If you visit and have to wait for a table, wait it will be worth it. Thank you for an amazing break from a busy day. We will be back.
I cannot recommend this place enough!! DELICIOUS Italian food, truly reminded me of my childhood in South Italy. Great coffee. Lovely deli full of premium products at reasonable prices. Amazing locally grown veg. And now a butcher too! I'd give it 6 stars if I could.
So good I visited twice in a week! First visit was on a Monday and it was easy to get carried away snapping up some beautiful products and a lovely coffee in the onsite café. Popped back later in the week when the fishmonger and butcher were onsite. Great service at the counters, with special thanks to Sarah and Gerri.
Nice selection of meat at the butchers counter, fresh fruit, fresh veg, ground coffee, tea pigs, chutneys, wine, beer, jams, pickles, oils and preserves. Biscuits, crackers, travel mugs and cups, cafetières mugs. Too much to mention here. A really nice shop and also a cafe, I didn’t use it but it was quite full, not overly busy so I assume it’s popular.
Easy free parking. Upmarket delicatessen with nice gift department. The café has informal dining & delicious. We had full English & burger. Spacious & outside patio too. Dog friendly.
