There is a coffee shop and restaurant, attached to their own cheese shop. You can sit outside and watch the ducks and chickens and then walk a handful of 1-5 mile walks around the local area, which are signposted from here. You can walk down to the river and watch people SUP. Decent price, and the food is great. Nice place to spend an afternoon. If you're going during peak times, make reservations.
Stopped by during a countryside walk, incredible views, matched with fantastic service and food! Went for the sharing Park Farm which was one of the best cheese boards in Bath. Super friendly & hospitable service from the Manager & Team as well!
Always a delight to spend time here! The space is great, so light and airy, but the food is the standout! The cheese dishes were absolutely delicious (of course) and the service friendly. This place is a firm favourite for us!
Gorgeous spot we walked in to by accident on a walk long walk. Great cheese board, gorgeous outdoor seating and most importantly great service. Could not recommend the place more!
We were given a cheese tour as a present and it was delightful from start to finish. We were made to feel welcome by Matt on our arrival and his information on the farm and the cheese making was excellent. The cheese making tour was informative and so interesting. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. On returning to the cafe we had a taste of all the cheeses which were explained in detail by Matt. We then had the lunch as part of the tour and oh my word, it was excellent. Service was good food was very well presented. We both had the Mac& cheese and it was delicious. Thank you to Matt and his team for making us feel welcome and for giving us a great day.
Fantastic breakfast. Staff really friendly and helpful even though it was super busy! Their milkshakes are also the best!
Did the cheese tour. Matt did a great job of organising everything and kept things running smoothly. Pad ran the tour of the factory. This guy is extremely knowledgeable about everything to do with cheese making and explained how each cheese is made, how they are cared for before they are ready to eat and even how Henry vacuum cleaners fit into the whole process. After the tour, we had the chance to sample each cheese and then have more cheese for lunch. (Other options were available) It would have been nice to have had a simple brochure showing each cheese with a reminder of how it is made, etc. A lot of information was provided on the tour, but I suspect most of it would have been forgotten fairly quickly.
Did a tour with lunch today and what a wonderful experience! The tour was really interesting and the 2 people that looked after us were very engaging and knowledgeable. As part of the tour we had a taster board to try all the lovely cheeses then a meal. I had the Stuffed Yorkshire Pudding which was amazing! The Blue cheese is just superb and would recommend to everyone!
