Britford Farm Shop - Wiltshire

A planned stop en route to the new forest. we just wanted to have an annoying bite. the menu had a lot for that came with salat. we went for suppe, pate and hearty baked, all. I saw a little pricy for the baked. the pate was the whole crawling, so generous. personal friendly and a popular place.

Five winter walks to britford and swing through this farm shop in rural location on my way back to salisbury. stopped withmorning each time for excellent hot chocolate, rich and sweetened according to their taste (my preference minimal). the best house made minze cake I found in a caffe in this season, generously served with whipped cream. the couples next to me said that they often went there as no muzak, an atmosphere I also support. highly recommended, but note the limited opening times.

We stopped here for lunch in June 2023 while on the way to Salisbury. We had seen their sign on the road and decided to give it a try. The entrance to the farm shop café isn’t entirely clear as the right hand side of the door and the handle are obstructed by a climbing plant. There is a fairly steep ramp on entry which flexed a bit under my 12 stones. Once inside, it’s quaint and quirky. We took a look at the menu and liked the look of the quiche/savoury pastries which were around £7. We were asked if we wanted salad and we said yes – for £7 you would expect a side salad I think. We ordered one each and two small bottles of water at about £2 each. When the bill of £31.50 was presented I was aghast. The menu layout was IMHO very poor. What was unclear and not explained was the salad was about another £7 each. The quiche/savoury pastry were very good and the salad large, well prepared and filling. The service was friendly. The toilets are outside, along the side of the building then each cubicle is up two fairly steep steps. I didn’t see any accessible toilets. All in all, worth a try but beware the menu and it is quite pricey.

Needed a special Birthday cake for my daughter, as she actually makes them herself. I remembered the fantastic chocolate cake I used to sell when working in Snells many years ago and found out this farm shop actually makes them still! Decided to have a coffee when picking up the cake and we really enjoyed our experience. The coffee shop is small but cosy and it was beautifully warm on our visit, with a log burner going. Really friendly staff who served us lovely coffee, tasty crumpets and toast, the bread was delicious. There is not a big breakfast menu but the lunches that started to come out as we left looked great. It appeared to be very popular and we look forward to returning for lunch.

We decided to make a pit stop on our way to the New Forest for a light bite. The menu offered a variety of options for £12 which included a side salad. We opted for the soup, pate, and savory pastries, all priced at £7 each. The pastries seemed a bit expensive. The pate portion was very generous, coming in the whole jar. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was quite popular.
