After a long wait, our order was taken, and after an even longer wait (too long) our food arrived. The best item was the freshly squeezed orange juice, although the coffee was not too bad. My wife had ordered the poached eggs with toast and bacon which turned out to be cold with the toast missing butter and looking as if it was just stale bread. I had ordered the large breakfast and wished I had sent it back. Dried out baked beans, black pudding so dry, it could have been used in an ice hockey game, two thin tasteless sausages burnt on one side, bacon so dry and tough that it could be used to re-sole shoes. With that, every item was luke-warm or so cold that I could not finish the meal. The worst breakfast I have had for a long, long time. Could not wait to get out, so the farm shop has missed out on other sales. Not going back.

Very busy but we were seated quickly and order taken, no croissant choice so went for a slice of brown toast and marmalade and my son had the Hearty Farmers breakfast plus a cappuccino and a macchiato. A little bit of a wait for it to arrive but it was worth it. Food was outstandingly good for both of us. Infact with no exaggeration, the toast was the best I have ever eaten anywhere, fabulous bread and brilliant marmalade. The coffees were good too. All in all very reasonably priced for such top quality fare. Pleasant and professional staff as well. Love Darts Farm and glad it's so local for me
