Croots Farm Shop Kitchen

So many things about our Afternoon Tea experience were very good. The service is attentive, caring and friendly; the range of food on our 3-tiered tower of plates was impressive; Gluten-free needs were taken seriously; value is great; and the venue is really well conceived and interesting, with a splendid farm shop. Unfortunately there were a couple of downsides. The plate-towers had clearly only just come out of a fridge, which is clumsy. Despite a month's notice, they insisted they couldn't provide Camomile tea and I had to bring my own teabags. We will be back, but would again ask that Camomile is available, that some plain shortbread is part of the offering, and that sandwiches etc have...

I would have given this restaurant five stars if the tables had been clean. They were all very stained and looked rather dirty. They appeared like they just needed a good wipe down, but if the stains are deep-seated, I would recommend stripping them down, repainting, and varnishing. The breakfast was delicious, and the staff were attentive. The setting is beautiful, and I was already familiar with it as I used to keep horses there many years ago.

We shop at Croots regularly, this was our first time trying the cafe and sadly it was not a very good experience. £34 is rather expensive for two club sandwiches and two coffees when they’re of this standard. The meat was very good as expected but the “hot” ciabatta sandwiches seemed to just be microwaved, they were soft and soggy. The coffees tasted like terrible machine coffees you might imagine finding in a transport cafe.

I went in today (22 December) to discuss some modifications to my Christmas order. Chris the Head Butcher at Croots could not have been more patient at this particularly busy time. He listened and enabled me to leave Croots with my complete meat order. So, I'm all set: thank you Chris for going that extra mile to ensure a very happy customer. Wishing all the positive and engaging staff at Croots, a very Happy Christmas! Reserviere jetzt einen Tisch

Lovely place to visit. Staff were very nice and farm shop food looked very appealing! However. I have marked down because I really did not like the jars of liquid on the patio. These contained a lot of dead or dying wasps. It was cruel and distressing. Shan't go back to a place that can treat wildlife so cruelly. Reserviere jetzt einen Tisch

While the cafe itself is charming, charging £2.25 for a small serving of coleslaw is not a good deal and is quite unreasonable.
