Dovecote Buttery and Farm Shop

Lovely place as usual. You can pick your strawberries and raspberry and eat as many as you can 👌
Perfect for children especially for a sunny and healthy day out.
A small box of raspberry is 4£ and for strawberry is 5£.
Also you can stay as long as you want🥰🍓🍓🍓

Friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, nice little play area for the kids out the front and a big garden out the back. Quirky little gift shop inside with some beautiful pieces for sale. Menu could be a little more vegan friendly, and more choice on the kids menu would be nice as well. Perhaps a little on the pricey side however nice as a treat and would certainly return and recommend.

I visited to celebrate my Mother-in-Law’s birthday with afternoon tea.

Everything about the celebration was excellent from start to finish. Kerry (apologies if I have misspelled your name!) handled the telephone booking. She was friendly, knowledgable and made the booking both easy and pleasant.

We were served afternoon tea in the lounge area. It is beautifully furnished, comfortable with a welcoming ambience and a warm feel. The lounge is family friendly, easily accommodating my one and three year old children.

The afternoon tea is exceptional. The fresh sandwiches are very appetising, with simple, traditional fillings that were nevertheless amazing. The cakes and pastries on offer were beautifully presented and every bit as wonderful to eat as they are to look at: raspberry and chocolate tart; mini Victoria sponge with fresh cream and an absolutely beautiful fresh cream berry meringue. The scones served were the perfect size, not too small and not too big, perfectly complemented by the jammiest strawberry jam and fresh clotted cream.

The whole visit was made even better by the most friendly and welcoming team. It really moved our visit from very good to great.

I will certainly be back again the next time I am in this part of the U.K.!

Have to give this place one star for the lack of hygiene. The only reason for the star is because of the food which taste great but unfortunately the lack of cleanliness really brings it down. Trying to enjoy your lunch when multiple people with dogs show up, damp, dirty and smelly dogs. It really ruins your appetite! Dogs barking and coming near as you try to eat. Tables and chairs are always dirty and covered in bird poo & staff don’t really seem to care even when the place isn’t busy. The tip of the iceberg is when going to the children’s park outside the restaurant to see a huge dog poo IN the childrens area. Disgusting and not up to standards for somewhere you come to eat.

Very relaxing place to sit and enjoy some great home cooked food. Outdoor garden seating area available if Al fresco dining is your thing. Also some lovely gifts and home accessories available to browse. If none of these things take your fancy you can always avail yourself of some fresh fruit etc from the pick your own section of the farm.

Absolutely great place and ignore the comments about dogs! They are welcome in the garden and it’s wonderful. Really don’t understand why people would want to leave poor reviews about this. I bet they love bringing people down. This is a fabulous local place and one we need to treasure

We had afternoon tea as a birthday treat and really enjoyed it ! All the food was delicious, freshly prepared and generous. The staff were lovely - friendly and attentive!

This is a little Aladdin’s cave with various gifts and treasures. There is a coffee shop/ restaurant with a great choice menu. The desserts menu is not to be missed either- subject to availability. All staff friendly and very helpful. Well worth a visit. Ample parking.
