The farm shop is great with a nice selection of everything, the staff are great too. And the cafe is fab! There's a really good choice of baguettes, hot food & cakes. The staff are always friendly & helpful even if they're busy & the food is outstanding. The portions are generous & the quality of the food is fantastic. There are even some books & colouring in for little ones & a lovely outdoor area. Top marks!
Well Sara , we had our rib of Ellenden beef yesterday . OMG , it was awesome , sooooooo tender , tasty and succulent . Kelly & Chris said it was prob's the best beef they have ever eaten . Cooked so easy too , preheated the oven ( Fan ) to 200 , put it in for 20 min's then turned it down to 170 for an hour . turned the oven off and left it in there for three hours ( just time for a pint ) , put oven back on at 170 and put a thermometer in the meat until it reached 60+ degrees ( about 40 mins ) job done . Let it rest while the veg was on and ended up with a superb meal . Happy Days . Just goes to show that when you buy good quality home produced meat from a local trusted supplier , " Sell By " dates mean nothing .
Christmas Turkey , trimmings box and veg/ salad box were all fantastic , I buy all my meat from the shop as the quality and flavour is second to none and love the new charcuterie meats the sliced chorizo is the best I've had in years and blows Tesco , ALDI and the other supermarkets out of the water with the flavour and quality, the pancetta is top notch and so is the dry cured royal ham , we made a change to our shopping habits by not buying supermarket meats and having a little less meat but of a higher quality this also goes for the veg , cheeses and other products at the shop, and the friendly family atmosphere of everyone at the shop is great and we are also supporting local businesses as so much is sourced locally.
Fabulous shop with excellent produce - Sara & the team are always so welcoming. Would highly recommend large joints of meat, which are the best quality we have ever had. Looking forward to trying the new tea shop.
I enjoyed a wonderful lunch here on Wednesday - the daily special of duck egg frittata was delicious! The staff were (as always) welcoming and friendly and the selection of books entertained my three year old.
The views are lovely and there is a wide range of local produce to buy from the shop - the steaks were fantastic!
We will certainly be going back to sample some more of the menu! Beautifully warm on a miserable day, the homemade chicken soup was delicious. Looking around at other people’s chosen menu, portions were very generous!!
Enjoyed looking around the farm shop, produce looked very fresh.
A fantastic day at the Festive tasting day yesterday at the Farm Shop. The new shop looks amazing and will be great with the tea room. The produce was lovely and fantastic quality as always. The beef was melt in the mouth - love the Ellenden beef. Thanks Sara and the Ellenden team - a great day enjoyed by all
One of my favourite places to go for coffee surrounded by beautiful countryside! The cafe does such a wide choice of food and the breakfasts are amazing!! Lovely friendly staff who always make time for a chat even when they are rushed off their feet!! Couldn’t ask for more and always recommend Ellenden to everyone!! ���
Just had lunch and it was delicious,sat outside and enjoyed the view,what better way to start the week,finished off by getting some meat for a BBQ for the children later,we are so lucky to have such a lovely family run farm shop on our doorstep...thank you...xxxx
Thankyou for the afternoon tea we had a fantastic time staff and food all excellent a great birthday treat xx
Everything about Ellenden is lovely! The new Cafe and outdoor seating area is brilliant, perfect for everything from a cup of tea to breakfast. The farm shop also has all you could ask for! Also love the fact that all of the meat and eggs you sell are free range!
Unexpected visit .. popped in for breakfast and a cuppa, great food and lovely people will definitely go again and browse the farm shop
An absolute treasure which should be visited by people from the village but also people from far and wide! Saturday morning breakfast sandwiches with mum have become a tradition!
Busy and friendly shop with good range of produce, both fresh and frozen. Good gluten-free and vegetarian choices too. Cafe/restaurant is cosy and has reasonably priced, very tasty food and cakes - great to be able to sit outside and admire the countryside
Excellent farm shop and place to eat.
A friend and I met here to sample the breakfast and opted for the large one.
The amount of food on the plate was amazing!
Although I didn't eat before I went and neither had my friend,we both ended up not being able to finish off some of our breakfast,as there was so much of it.
The farm shop sells a variety of food, including sausages, bacon,pies etc.
They also sell fresh produce which is all of a high quality.
The restaurant was quite busy (always a good sign).
All of the food coming out of the kitchen looked delicious.
Will definitely be back for another visit in the near future.
Would not hesitate to recommend.
We had a regular and a vegetarian breakfast - both delicious, cooked to perfection and served on lovely hot plates. Good to see so much local produce on the menu. Coffee was lovely as well. So glad we visited you!
Stopped here late one afternoon whilst visiting the area. Delicious food in the cafe, home cooked, great local ingredients & well priced. The small ploughman’s was excellent value. The jacket potato well cooked with plenty of ‘filling’ on the side & the cooked breakfast was one of the best I’ve had, piping hot plate & delicious! Well stocked farm shop with lots of variety.
Wonderful place, people, coffee and breakfast! Well worth the drive out and the produce in the shop is so good and mostly local. Would highly recommend
Great farm shop excellent quality and very friendly staff They also have a great coffee shop that sells excellent food places to sit outside as well. Great views.
Have been here several times now and the quality and service and friendly staff are amazing free range eggs and pork. Quality 100% across the board. 5 stars.
Always a great place to go and the food they serve in the cafe is absolutely fantastic, fresh and cooked to order. Always a good generous portion. The shop sells some great produce and in fruit season they always have a great choice, I drive for an hour just to get their Victoria plums!
**update*** another great visit for a terrific lunch. Love supporting this place and the staff are so incredibly friendly. Be back again in a couple of weeks when the Victoria's will be ready. Always some great local produce in the fruit and veg room. Always great to support this local farm and other farmers in the area by buying some great fresh produce.
A lovely lunch as always. Home produced food at its best !
This farmshop and Cafe is by far the best around. Sara and her family / team are the most hardworking people there are. I find it outrageous that an individual can give such a negative review of Ellenden and would reccomend that they eat at Greg's from now on and continue to eat and buy, foreign imported rubbish !! This will obviously enable them to spend less and be happier with their mass produced purchases.
Keep up the good
work Ellenden !
Great place, friendly and welcoming. Food looks good (I only had a delicious coffee and teacake toasted to perfection).
One suggestion if I may, fitting felt pads to the bottom of chair legs would greatly reduce the noise when very busy.
The beef from here tastes absolutely amazing! A huge hit on Sundays with my family! The frozen Yorkshire Puddings are a life saver too!
