P E Mead Sons

★ 4.3 / 5 (3267 reviews)

Nestled by picturesque reservoirs, this restaurant and farm shop offers a mixed experience. Guests appreciate the charming setting and ample parking, but many find the menu's selection limited and the prices steep. While some savor the quality of fresh local products, including dairy and seasonal produce, others report dissatisfaction with poorly prepared meals, such as lukewarm sandwiches or expired items. Service can be hit-or-miss, with some patrons noting friendly staff while others experienced rudeness. Despite these challenges, the café remains popular for coffee and cake, and the farm shop showcases a delightful assortment of local goods, making it worth a visit.

Was Anonym at P E Mead Sons a mag?
It has always been a fantastic spot for coffee and cake. Since March 2022, the café has moved to a newly constructed barn-style building. You can sit outside, and when you arrive by bike, there are bike stands located at the back, next to the outdoor seating. The farm offers a variety of fresh foods, and I highly recommend the Little Doone balsamic dressings. View all feedback.

What Laura Lopez dislikes about P E Mead Sons:
I used to love it here, but the shop seems souless now. The young lad on the tills in the shop was SO miserable. Didn't get any friendly feeling from him and he came across quite rude. Had to wait ages to be served in the cafe. Such a shame as it was great a year ago. View all feedback.

Maids was really disappointing although busy on this Sunday, it was not run well the servers were generally young and not managed well. They came out serving food etc. and returned ignoring the dirty full of empty plates tables as they returned or the tables that had been cleared were not wiped, food left on table very off putting. Its basic restaurant management and this was missing. The older servers were more on top of things. We had a potato, tuna a bit of salad and weak cheap tasting cheese. I felt it would be better to go for better quality for instead of the basic stuff. Plus coffee, not very good either, other local cafes can produce good coffee so this needs looking at also.
