Spent New Years Eve at The Farmhouse had a fantastic time Lovely staff, made us feel so welcome Great food great atmosphere great time T
Awful. We booked weeks in advance and yet when we arrived was told there was a half hour wait. Absolutely no apology was offered. We had a child with us too who wouldn’t want to wait. We were not even offered a drink whilst we waited. We left because of the poor customer service and having been told that even when seated there was a delay on food. Shocking service and would not go again. Went somewhere else instead and had a wonderful meal.
Great, friendly service and the food was yummy, casual and relaxed atmosphere
Food was tasteless and poor value for maney, although staff were responsive after we complained
Needed another waitress she was run off her feet other than that very good
Delicious food, good service and a lovely atmosphere. A must visit!
The food was lovely and really well priced and it has a family friendly atmosphere. I would defibately come here again.
We arrived to a quietish Farmhouse just after 2pm. We ordered food soon after and unbelievably it took almost an hour for 2 steaks and a burger to arrive. Had we not complained it would’ve taken longer. To add insult to injury the steaks were lukewarm and during the wait the waitresses didn’t once come over to either apologise nor offer us a drink. When settling the bill no discount was offered. I will never visit this place again.
Had to wait for table although it was booked!!! Afternoon Tea sandwiches were a little dry round the edges after waiting 40mins for them to arrive. Scones heavy and sweet treats 2 out 3 options were chocolate, lemon tart raw pastry. I would not return for the cream tea but staff friendly and nice atmosphere.
We requested to make a pre-order for our food because we do not have long for lunch. We specifically requested our food to arrive at 13.15pm because our lunch break is only from 13.00-14.00, however the food arrived at 13.40-13.45 which made us rush our food. We was late back to work by 15 minutes due to this. Maybe a pre-order option should not be an option at the restaurant if it is impossible for the food to arrive on time? Other than that, we enjoyed the food, it was very lovely and the service was good.. Thank you
Lovely food one waitress slightly grouchy but on the whole great
Great breakfast with even better service. Varied menu and lovely place. Would definitely recommend.
booked for 3.45 wasnt told the kitchen closes at 4oc so didnt get a chance to have a pudding so had to go to another restaurant . also menu was very small 5 mains and only steak at the weekend ? i wont be going back thats for sure wasnt what i expected thats for sure.
Food was great, staff friendly and helpful but the music was a bit loud.
Nice location, plenty of parking, good food and friendly staff
Great food and great children's play area to keep them entertained
Absolutely love this place to take my little boy as you can eat delicious food while the children play!
Poor service and food not great. Beer tasted watered down. Very disappointing.
Lovely breakfast, very tasty, overall a great place would really recommend it
Great service. Lovely atmosphere. Lovely place to go for lunch.
Great family dining experience! Highly recommend for all ages! Thanks!
The food was lovely food and staff very were very attentive.
cocktails were awesome. The food was lacking in flavour and seasoning. Presentation was very good
The service was super slow, and the roast dinners decidedly average. The vegetarian roasts came with NO roast potatoes which was so strange! Disappointing, I won't go again.
First Time Visiting For Dinner And It Was The Most Amazing Beef Roast Dinner!
The menu had good choices, a nice selection. The quality of the sausage and bacon was very good, you can tell a cheap sausage, but these were amazing, both the sausage and bacon were very good quality. The staff were lovely, really attentive, made you feel relaxed. This is now going to be our regular meeting place for breakfast, brunch, lunch. Plenty of spaces in the car park
Friendly staff and good food. Perfect for a Saturday lunchtime catchup
Hsd to ask to turn the music down- great speaker system but too load for chatting!
Waited a long time for food. Maybe due to the time we booked it for a lot of the food had run out. In a party of 4, 3 had roast dinner and the food was sparse. The roast potatoes were at best unpleasant it appeared they had been cooked hours ago and were the last ones left. I will eat here again although not for a Sunday roast.
Very pleasant atmosphere, nicely prepared presented good food and service
Nice pleasant food with a lovely vibrant ambience.....thank you farmhouse
Family of 5, opted for the roast but was left disappointed. Vegetables were grey & overcooked, 1 slice of thin fatty meat which they did change. Just wasn’t very nice sadly. The children’s fish & chips & chicken & chips were dry. The sundaes went down well though. A real shame as had a nice feel. Wish there was more to do for older kids, like a outdoor slide/climbing apparatus. The soft play is perfect for toddlers.
Excellent food and very child friendly. The staff were also very attentive.
Absolutely beautiful from the decor to the food to the atmosphere Staff so welcoming and friendly Highly recommend !!!
Enjoyed the food and setting with the family. Will return.
Excellent food - great quality well cooked - thank you!
Excellent food. Amazing ice cream. Great atmosphere. Will definitely come back.
Thank you for the lovely brunch :) will be back
It was an ok experience The staff were very nice and helpf
Lovely venue, the food was amazing, the variety of dishes made it difficult what to have, which is a good thing as I have already booked to go back and will try another dish, staff where very welcoming and happy made you feel relaxed, entertainment was amazing too, good all round, highly recommend a visit here,
It was our 1st visit & we will definitely be back.
Really good Sunday lunch with good service. The Farmhouse has an area for kids as well so happy all round!
Nice tasteful and Big portions even for my fat ass
Lovely breakfast, great atmosphere and fantastic play area for kids.
Woefully unprepared for a busy fathers day - goodness knows how you are going to manage the lunchtime rush when we waited 45 minutes for breakfast. This could have been made easier by an apology, order update, drinks refresh but all of these things had to be chased - including condiments!!! Such a shame as I really wanted to love this place
Food was nice, excellent staff, singer good but was disappointed as website advertised 2 rooms of music which they never had so once singer left it died. We was looking forward to a dance - we would have gone elsewhere had we known. Although we were told we could dance - not really a dance floor and music not dance music.
Nice food but shame about long wait. Staff lovely as are the surroundings.
Enjoyed a lovely Sunday brunch really good menu with plenty of choice food very well presented and really tasty.
A great breakfast. Bit of a wait for drinks to arrive, but would definitely like to visit again.
Gorgeous food always well cooked presented & tastes lovely Slow waitress service although very helpful definitely needs more staff Looking forward to trying an evening event
