Woodside Farm Coffee Shop Play Area

We unexpectedly discovered this farm shop and cafe while searching for a place for a late lunch. The menu was delightful, offering sandwiches, soup, jacket potatoes, and more, all freshly made. We enjoyed ham sandwiches and a slice of cake, which were all delicious. For our 21-month-old son, we ordered a child's meal consisting of a sandwich, a few Quavers, grapes, cucumber slices, and a small chocolate bar (given after he finished his main meal, which was convenient). There is a spacious play area for children with plenty of toys. The farm shop was well-stocked and appeared to have a steady flow of customers. As we were leaving, the lady at the checkout told us we could take some cabbage leaves to feed the cows, which was undoubtedly a highlight for my son (and my husband, too!).

My family and I stopped at this restaurant because my son loves animals. He was a bit overwhelmed by the large number of cows, both old and young, but he enjoyed it. Unfortunately, there were no birds or poultry due to Foot and Mouth disease, but hopefully they will be back soon. We found the cafe for lunch and enjoyed our meals - I had the soup and sandwich combo, my wife had the tuna panini, and our son had the kids combo. We all liked our food. There was also a basic indoor play area that kept the kids entertained. Our son ended up finding some toy horses for sale, making it a costly day! If you enjoy local produce, be sure to visit the shop which had fresh ingredients and frozen meats. Overall, we had a pleasant couple of hours locally and would recommend this restaurant as a short stop for families of any size.

The restaurant offers excellent service, delicious food, and a new meat storage system with fresh vegetables. We both enjoyed the daily soup, which we rated 10 out of 10. I also had a delicious burger. Highly recommended.

Another “Google” find as I was touring this area. The signposts say “Farm Shop” but inside it’s amazing. A huge room full of soft play apparatus, plus swings, slides etc etc! But separately is an enclosed room for coffees, lunches and all things “home-made” awesome! Not the least bit expensive and was very busy (school holidays! but seemingly well run by the smiley pleasant ladies in charge. It’s a good idea to keep the noisily playing children apart from those who want a quite drink, and it works. Mothers and fathers can take their refreshments into the play area though. The attached farm shop had all things veg and fruity and it looked good. The car park is actually the quiet large farmyard. Well worth the slight detour.

This is a nice stop lovely farm shop full of fresh veg and meat and they have a nice coffee shop doing meals hot rolls and cakes i visited mid week and suited me as it was a quiet time they have a play area and can be quite a lively place so if you want a coffee and a chat timeing is important
