"The cafe staff went above and beyond to meet one of our groups dietary requirements and were very friendly."

"5 star service throughout all our visits."
Cons:
"Service though was slow. Staff seemed to have selective vision sometimes."
"We told the waiter of our discontent who seemed to lack social skills."
"The service has been appalling the past few times. The staff are not polite and make it feel like you’re asking for too much."
"Waited whilst she finished her important meeting with another staff member before I was summoned."
"Once seated, we had to wait 20 minutes before anyone came to serve us."
"No one checked how our food was at any point."
"The waitress was surly to say the least."
Food Quality
Pros:
"The steak pies are delicious!"
"Christmas day saw our 'bubble' enjoy every single item that came from the shop, from the Turkey Royale to the red cabbage which I thought would be left in the tray if I'm honest!"
"Can't believe I'm doing this. I've just eaten a father's day pork pie from my daughter's mini hamper present. It's got to be the best pork pie I have ever tasted!!"
"So tasty i had fish pie last night it was amazing."
"Excellent farm shop with highest quality fruit, vegetables, meat and other locally produced and sourced produce."
"The apple crumble was incredible!!! Probably the nicest custard I’ve ever had!"
"Just cooked a couple of their 'Churrasco Chicken Thighs' Absolutely Gorgeous!"
Cons:
"Very disappointing at £3 for a garlic bread shame greed loses custom."
"Unfortunately today has been the second time I've visited and found they have no vegetarian Sandwich options."
"Afternoon tea box... Well it looked nicely packaged but sandwiches were rubbish and dry."
"Both pies were 'thin' and had very little taste."
"The Yorkshire puddings, they were flat as a pancake, tasteless and it was like they had been re heated 3 times."
"Food was absolutely awful we ordered pork pie which looked like a dog food and was not eatable at all."
"Bought some pork pies and sausage rolls..... Dreadful......"
Value for Money
Pros:
"The farm shop is varied, with lots of fresh produce at reasonable prices."
"Superb meat and fruit and vegetables at sensible prices."
"Really Amazing place to buy, to eat and have fun for less and the best quality."
"Great value for money."
"It’s great value for what you get so can’t complain really."
"Prices are pretty reasonable for a farm shop and the quality of everything is on a high standard."
"Also a first class cafe/restaurant which delivers very good food at reasonable prices."
Cons:
"Visited the farm shop today for some takeout lunch, left really underwhelmed... And the price of the products was ridiculous nearly £4 for a loaf of bread."
"We found extremely mediocre food very over priced."
"Iv shopped here for years and Iv always loved the food and quality and don’t mind paying extra for the good quality. However I feel Iv definitely been overpriced for my vegetables today £3.02 for a small piece of broccoli 🥦 £1.60 for a small cabbage."
"The food was very overpriced and quality was poor £15 for a burger that was tiny only covered 1/3 of the bun and was bone dry."
"Afternoon tea x3 had one small portion of jam (for scones) + the same for cream. We had to get up & ask for some more. Each tea was £14.95. Much too expensive & attention to detail certainly lacking."
"The pumpkins are a little pricey (you can get them sooo much cheaper in supermarkets and they’re bigger!"
"Have shopped at Blacker Hall for years, and ordered my Turkey every year, this year a charge of £3.50 to pick up your order."
Atmosphere & Experience
Pros:
"Use the drive thru to collect our Christmas Dinner, I've never been to such an organised place."
"The play area and animals was clean and tidy, kids had a wonderful adventure."
"Court yard is a lovely sun trap we had coffee and cakes followed by chilled prosecco."
"Ordered a chocolate birthday cake on short notice and was blown away by the effort and skill."
"Visited this lovely place yesterday for my wife's 40th birthday. I booked a table online and left notes to say it was my wifes birthday and the moment we walked in and was greeted was fantastic."
"Overall, it was a really good experience.. the staff are incredibly friendly, the food was amazing, and the quality is incredible."
"Such a lovely place."
Cons:
"Our experience was marred by Melissa and staff celebrating every time a customer left and making comments like ‘only a few to get rid of’."
"I used to love this farm shop but it is getting ridiculous how they keep increasing prices."
"I truly think they’ve gotten too big and stopped caring about their customers."
"Impossible to sit outside of the Barn and enjoy food if you have dogs as they won't serve food in the outside seating area."
"The bold tall chap who looked to be running the cafe was rude and very clearly in the wrong role."
"Pandemic? What Pandemic? They seem to be completely oblivious to it!"
"We were seated near the door, this was horrendous the draft made this an unpleasant experience."
