Local produce lovely staff, great coffee. Great for young kids small animal farm with animals that kids can see, plus nice play area. Food was nice and tasty. Only gripe was the sausage was overcooked (badly) chewy. If they are working on kevlar jackets for sausage then they have achieved it. If they want customer satisfaction they have not.

This place is a little gem. We arrived without booking a table and was greeted warmly by a lady who quickly checked her booking and found us a lovely table outside by the sandpit. We were shown where the animal feed was and where to leave the money and told to relax and enjoy. Whilst our 3 younger children aged 8, 7 and 7 yrs old went off to explore we sat down and ordered drinks and food off the light bites menu which was delicious. One of the best homemade scotch eggs my husband has tasted! We then had a local made ice cream which was very good quality. We spent a couple of hours here and could have stayed for longer as our children were occupied playing. There is a small variety of animals to see including pigs, sheep, ponies, and chickens and bags of feed are available at 50p each. There is also a big sandpit and tractors to play on. The care do have a sign up saying no packed lunches for children which as a small family run business with all of the animals to see free of charge this isn't unreasonable at all and they do offer children's meals for around £5 or children's sandwiches with crisps and side salad for £4. We would definitely visit again.

Animals good for kids, but food was poor, service slow, and prices not cheap. I didn’t think it was possible to mess up a tuna mayo baguette, but the filling was liquid dripping out of the bread. Coffees and sides were fine. We were hoping to get some meat at the butchers, but it looked old and the facilities weren’t the cleanest. Would only recommend going if you have a little one that wants to see some lovely farm animals, which were all extremely friendly and tame.

Stopped for a break after a long drive heading for Cornwall . Lovely coffee , great little area of animals for children and adults alike to pet and feed and I love seeing chickens roaming free outside amongst the seating area.

Well what can I say. Firstly from start to finish Kim was amazing, we booked a party for our end of year toddler group today and we are not disappointed. Kim went out of her way to make us welcome changing and adapting activities to suit our party. Kim and her team made us feel welcome and couldn’t do more to make us feel part of the experience and all children had an amazing time doing the Little farmers session. It’s not everyday you get service which is second to none and they deserve every word. I would highly recommend and will definitely be back. Well done to such a great team keep up the fantastic work.

We always have an amazing time here! My children love the animals, the sandpit, being able to feed the animals too, and I love the safe friendly atmosphere and the coffee! We also do Little Farmers here once per week which is just fantastic. Perfect for little ones. We usually stay for lunch which is always quick to serve, and great quality too. Love this place! 😊

A lovely little place! only negative was there was a lot of staff on, standing around doing nothing. There was a lot of wasps outside (can’t be helped) but non of the tables were getting cleared attracting more. i ended cleaning tables …
