The wait was horrendous, excuse was that they don’t use microwaves and they had a party that was taking up their priority basically. Food was average.
The mains came out before the starter. Then she brought out the starter half way through eating for our roast dinner. Never got a sorry and other staff took our plates all grumpy and didn’t ask if anything was alright. Said nothing. Food wasn’t worth the £16 paid for one slice of fatty beef. we love our breakfasts here but would not ever return for a roast ever and would not recommend to anyone
It was our first visit and it won’t be our last, service and food was great 👍🏻
Great breakfast and atmosphere as usual. Will be returning there soon.
could hardly chew the steak and chicken burger was burnt.
Great and friendly staff . Lovely enjoyable food and drinks .
Excellent food as always however didn’t get everything I ordered which was probably a blessing as they have good portion sizes
A great place for Sunday lunch! Family friendly, but also good for anyone who just wants good food!
Waitresses are quite slow and don't take much notice of customers as we had to keep calling them over to be served, we also didn't get any water for the table and we ordered olives which we didn't receive. Food was ok but not the best. I would go back as it is a lovely place and a good selection of food & drinks but there is room for improvement.
Lovely restaurant, great ambience, love the play around for kids, food is delicious. Only criticism would be small portion sizes for the price.
Perfect for brunch, from the full Essex to the fish and chips. Always really great food and service.
There were 11 of us for breakfast, overall it was excellent service and we were looked after very well, , but we were not aware that the orders were taken in two separate ones to make it easier for the kitchen, so we paid the bill then told we had a second bill. Had I known I would have made sure they had added the two together.
Really good roast however the two vegetarian options were both Butternut Squash so not very imaginative, there also seemed to be not quite enough staff on, we werent able to order until half an hour after arriving at which point my children were starving.
Food was disappointing, very bland. Expensive drinks and food for what it was.
Food was ok, service was ok. Nothing to warrant a return visit. One starter came lukewarm and looked undercooked and despite sending it back still got charged in full. Was told that dish comes like that and a lot of people complain yet the restaurant hasn’t taken those comments on board
Morning breakfast with the family was superb here at the farmhouse. Great atmosphere, brilliant food and lovely staff.
Fantastic service and fantastic food fantastic atmosphere, highly recommend to friends and family
It was a bit disappointed as it wasn’t as great as our first visit. The Popeye smoothie had very hard bits and was not drinkable. The salad came with chicken burger was bitter. Service was good and fast as last time.
Lovely food, nice atmosphere and friendly waiter, overall excellent !
The service was poor, drinks took 20 mins, food took 35. When the food arrived the breakfast was cold, beans had gone hard. The chicken salad has 3 tiny bits of chicken and I asked for the caesar sauce on the side. At first there was no sauce, when I asked again they brought over taksizi sauce!
We had a great Sunday lunch there. Really lovely food.
Nice music but many noisy customers unfortunately. Food is nice but probably a bit overpriced.
Lovely service, we will be back very soon thanks M
Music a little loud at times and a bit of a wait today but other than that, I love this place - food is excellent and that's what's important.
Such a fantastic place to go with children as they can be entertained in the play area while you eat yummy food. The kids menu is also fab!
Food was nice but we didn’t get what we ordered. My boyfriend asked for a chicken burger and got a beef burger and I asked for chunky fries and got skinny fries.
Lovely visit, good service considering the place was packed. Food was all tasty, spiced chicken leg was on the small side so not much chicken , other than that all was good . Been here a few times now would recommend booking as saw people that hadn’t being told waiting time for a table was around 1 Hour at 2 pm. Looking forward to our next visit .
Great service lovely atmosphere Staff very helpful and polite. Do anything for you. Would and have recommended to anyone.
The place and atmosphere is very nice but the quality of the food doesn’t give justice to the price. Too expensive!
Food was lovely staff very friendly and a great play area for kids
Delicious food with amazing service!! Definitely have a scone as it’s superb!
Nice atmosphere. Nice waitress - Teresa. Food was good - roast dinner (tiny thing - it would have been nice just a little hotter). Would go back and would recommend.
Great food, brilliant entertainment! We had a great evening and will definitely be back.
Friendly staff - great brunch. Dry stale scone served with cream and jam already done - I would not recommend that!
Great place to take the kids and good food as well
No table ready when we arrived. Slow service and food overall was disappointing!
Food was great as usual but the wait time was too long. Large function was being held and it seems that their was no additional staff to assist.
Had a nice time and good food at the restaurant. Service was a little slow and is quite noisy in there so not as relaxing as you would like from an afternoon tea/farmhouse. Could hear quite a bit of complaining from other tables regarding service etc but we didn’t have a problem
Friendly staff, excellent service and amazingly good food. Highly recommend.
We had a lovely mother’s day atmosphere lovely with balloons & free glass of fizz. We all had a roast dinner this is the 2nd time we’ve been & really enjoyed the food both times & staff are really friendly.
I've been wanting to try The Farmhouse for a while, and i wasn't disappointed. My only grumble is that our desserts were made at the bar, and i'm not sure how i felt about that. But it still tasted yum!
Lovely food and great staff thank you we all enjoyed our food and will be back very soon
Understaffed. Waited and waited for food, had to ask waiting staff for the rest of the food. Had to find condiments myself. Staff disinterested.
Great food, great staff. Would defiantly be returning and recommending this Resturant
Delicious food and very friendly, professional service every time :)
Really enjoyed our lunch, the atmosphere was relaxed and the team friendly. Will definitely be going back! Thanks
We waited a long time about an hour after our arrival . The food was ok. The service was ok
Staff are friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is great. Loved the sandwiches and the cakes. Little it disappointed with the scones as they were really dry but overall great afternoon tea experience
Enjoyed a very tasty breakfast. Good friendly service. Good cappuccino.
Good food, good atmosphere, good service - would happily return!
