Yolk Farm Reviews Summary

Animal Encounters & Activities

Pros:

• "We went for the Halloween pumpkin experience for the 2nd year in a row and It was even better this year."
• "We came here for my daughter's fourth birthday party, and it was absolutely brilliant."
• "We went to visit Santa yesterday with my 5 year old and I left in happy tears with how amazing these guys were with him."
• "Had a great day here with the grandkids doing the Easter egg hunt."

Cons:

• "As for the 'free range chickens' they were all cooped up and had hardly any fresh grass to roam around! They had a mesh floor and most of the chickens were hen pecked and had bare bottoms 😔"
• "Sadly due to bird flu the chickens were kept inside."

Food & Menu Offerings

Pros:

• "The food was freshly cooked and the creamy scrambled eggs were delicious!"
• "We had already pretty much decided what we were having, I plumped for the fresh summer fruit pancake stack and my wife decided on the banana and toffee pancakes."
• "Food was fantastic, good portion size, service was great, setting great including the swing chairs."
• "Lovely brunch. Really enjoyed the Posh Eggs - Poached eggs, smoked salmon and Beetroot 5 ways."

Cons:

• "However on both dishes we found the food lukewarm which was disappointing."
• "Katsu chicken burger was overcooked, dry, hard and the batter was in thick lumps, the fried egg was very overcooked on the bottom and gone very crispy."
• "Disappointed with our visit after being recommended by a colleague. Coffee was luke warm, my food was cold (avocado and eggs) the avocado was unripe and couldn’t be cut with a knife."
• "Such a shame as I used to come so often but the food has massively gone downhill when the prices have increased."

Service & Staff Attitude

Pros:

• "The staff were lovely and the value for money & time was fantastic!"
• "We were seated straight away by very friendly staff and brought menus."
• "The staff are very friendly and helpful and the whole set up made me feel very covid-safe."
• "Lovely farm cafe with excellent shop and farm with chickens, goats, alpacas and pigs. Great stop off the A1 for entertaining children and having a tasty lunch."

Cons:

• "When we arrived the staff member seating and taking orders was blunt, no pleasantries. Coffees were lukewarm and food took 45+ mins to arrive after ordering despite it not being particularly busy."
• "A mixed experience at yolk farm cafe / restaurant. We were seen straight away and shown to our table, all very polite and good service. Then we had a lot of issues waiting on our order to be taken."
• "Disappointed with our visit after being recommended by a colleague... The service was sloppy- no cutlery was brought and when asked we were asked ‘how many’ despite all members of our party ordering meals."
• "Very disappointing today got a table within minutes but waited 20 mins to order a drink then I had finished my drink when they came to get the food order. 15 mins later food arrived cold."

Pricing & Value

Pros:

• "The selection of stock in the farm shop is mouth watering but the prices won't make your eyes water."
• "Travelled over 40 miles, (after seeing Yolk Farm on Instagram),to sample the delights on offer... It was well worth the trip."
• "The food is excellent with a superb theme. (Check out the toilets!) Its a fabulous way to spend a few hours with the kids or just sit in the sun and drink a coffee."

Cons:

• "Very, Very expensive for not that good quality. They also allow dogs. Dogs … in a cafe? NO!!! Not a pleasant experience so wouldn’t recommend"
• "Have been going here for 3 years. Food always amazing but prices have been creeping up and up."
• "Such a shame as I used to come so often but the food has massively gone downhill when the prices have increased."
• "The farm shop was OK but on the expensive side, but we were disturbed to see a large cat prowling round, jumping on the sales counter, and would consider this a possible health risk."
