visited for the kids jam making session, which my 9yo thoroughly enjoyed. The breakfast was excellent value and the meringues are massive. An excellent day out, thank you.

Went today for the kids Halloween afternoon tea and we were not disappointed. Great decorations and the kids platter was amazing, so creative and yummy too. Will definitely be back again ??

We have often stopped at Castleton farm cafe , unfortunately today was the last time . Both meals were awful . It seems to me that they are a victim of their own success . Too busy , young , pleasant but inexperienced staff and tasteless food . I prefer quality rather than quantity .

On our way to Aberdeen, we stopped here to charge the car and have a bite to eat. Would recommend this venue for various reasons - the staff were helpful and friendly, the service was quick, good arrived in good time and was absolutely delicious. Cullen Skink soup was fab, the sausages and mash were described by my other half as the tastiest thing he'd eaten for a while (and were on holiday so eating out a lot), and the prices were value for money.

We visited the Cafe for coffee and cake today, the place was packed which is usually a good sign! We ordered 2 cappuccinos, a banoffee pie and lemon meringue pie. When cappuccinos arrived, the waitress spilt one all over the saucer and no replacement was offered, a napkin was presented for us to wipe it up! They were watered down white coffees with no foam! The banoffee pie, well where do I start. The toffee sauce was only around the outside of the pastry and the case was mainly empty give or take a few small slices of banana. The lemon meringue pie had barely any lemon sauce again an empty case and very dry. Overall very poor and that?s not the first bad experience we have had here. There is cost cutting and cost cutting, really poor show and it cost £18! We will definitely not be back and would not recommend!

Great Location, Food is Delicious and would highly recommend for lunch. First visit had an amazing curry for lunch so went back a few weeks later but the menu had changed. My friend had the goats cheese salad and it was huge and tasty. The wee gift shop is a great idea as it sells local produce. Service is really good, toilets are clean and the car park is massive.

This is a great facility with facilities for all including pets. Very good food with an imaginative menu and a lovely shop with lots of goodies. But?.boy does it need staff training! I was shocked to see a young girl plate up the chips with her bare hands and then watched her and colleagues eat chips at the pass. This is unacceptably poor hygiene and needs addressed - I wouldn?t return.

Visited for a coffee and cake with a friend. The coffee was lovely as always, as were the cakes. Drinks took slightly longer than usual but this was understandable at it was a busy time. One of the waiters also came over to say the drinks were on their way but there was a build up, which was good of him to keep us updated. Service was very friendly too. Have been here for lunch before, which is also always fantastic.

Thank you very much to the lovely girls in the shop who were nice enough to weigh out raspberries for me which I needed to make jam. I phoned to enquire if they had any and when I arrived they were all ready for me. Very helpful and friendly staff?thank you! The raspberries were delicious too and made really nice jam!

We stopped in for coffee and cake and left without either. After being shown to a table we were clearly forgotten, after 7 minutes without any form of acknowledgment we left disappointed.

We loved this place ?? not only are the decorations nice and the winter garden a great place where you want to stay a while, also the food is outstanding, nicely decorated and delicious ? the service is great and we can highly recommend coming here!! Also exploring the shop is worthwhile - we tested a few products and can recommend the berry salad sauce!

Its been a while since I was here. There is now a big extension out the back. Food is still reasonable but service very poor. The waiting staff are all teenagers and seem a bit clueless. Service was very slow and at one point I was beginning to think that there was only one person in the kitchen. Management need to initiate a proper training program.

I?d rather you didn?t go - so there is a table for me!! What a fabulous gem of a restaurant alongside a lovely farm shop. There are two sections to the restaurant. A conservatory, which is available for use with your 4 legged friends. And then an indoor restaurant. The staff were efficient and friendly. The choice of food was good and prices were fair. We each had a toastie and it came with salad, slaw and crisps! Plenty to eat! BUT??. You need to keep room for dessert! On the day we went there were at least 20 choices of cakes, slices and other goodies. And they are big!!! My mum and her friend split a cream meringue and even split it was HUGE!! The kitchen staff have to be praised. The quality of their food and the speed things came out. They must be a finely tuned machine! Well done!! Is there any downside. Not down just a caution. The conservatory is not fully enclosed, it?s all glass but has gaps around all the panels. So if it?s cold outside, you might find it chilly. They take reservations and I would book if I was going during a popular time and I wanted an inside table. I hope you love this place as much as we did!!

Always a pleasure to stop at this restaurant café with their beautiful conservatory and indoor seating. The food is so fresh and locally sourced. It is cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. The staff are so helpful and attentive. We are never rushed and everything is so clean. Thanks again for another pleasant lunch!
