The Best Cafes in Ashley Warren, Hampshire, United Kingdom (2025)

Great little farm shop. Staff were friendly( found no colour discrimination) and the farm has a beautiful landscape. short walk from the needles. Toilets here were amazingly modern and spotless too. 10/10 would recommend.

I've hiked many miles across the country and the Isle of Wight (where I live) and often pop into country cafes, farm shops, local pubs. Some modern takes on farm style or rural coffee shops are becoming more 'gourmet' like a city centre bistro. This small cafe, alongside some gorgeous country footpaths, has more of a traditional feel about it. From my experience, both styles are good and sell local produce, but this feels more rugged and natural for its location. It has a good selection of cakes, pastry, coffee, and a small onsight bar serving alcohol. The location is perfect, the cake I had was lovely and the prices are very good. It is thee perfect stop for a walker on a ramble around Freshwater, infact I would say it's a must visit. There is also parking if you wish to drive to it. It feels like an old school farm cafe. Now, on a few past reviews, I see people mentioning about them selling 'imported goods'. Having had a look at the selection of items they sell, it appears they get some of the goods from other local Isle of Wight farms as well as their own produce. There is nothing wrong with that. Many of the farm shops on the island sell foods made at other farms that don't have an onsight retail facilities, it all helps the local farming communities 🤝 I will be back for more cake when hiking around Freshwater next 😁

Highly recommended! The perfect place to call in for a light lunch or just for drinks, and yes they still do cream teas if you like. Easily accessible from the coast path meant we were able to walk from nearby Colwell Bay with dogs and children, but also plenty of parking. The owners are lovely and doing a super job here. Delicious home made pies, pasties, sausage rolls and cakes to name a few and all very reasonably priced. Horse box bar too so you can have a pint with your pie! Play park for the kids, plenty of seating and beautifully kept lawn. Special mention for Ollie the farm dog too! Fantastic honest local business that deserves the custom so spend your money here and not at the Needles attraction! (I am not related to or affiliated with Warren Farm in any way, despite my surname! But it’s a nice coincidence)

Couldn't believe what a great find this was! Very friendly, welcoming and relaxed (especially the very sweet and gentle resident spaniel!). Was amazed to find local Isle of Wight ice-cream for my boyfriend plus a vegan one for me and vegan iced coffee. Couldn't have been happier to find this little haven that was still open after a long walk seeing the needles and just a few minutes off the main path

A lovely lunch for my granny's birthday! It looks even more beautiful now with the new renovations & the food was delicious too! Can't wait to try the afternoon tea soon as well 😍

We went for breakfast today as a party of four. There was quite a wait for our meals from when we ordered but it is lovely surroundings. When my garden breakfast came I was disappointed that it was not very hot. I returned it and asked if it could just be re heated. The staff were very apologetic and instead cooked me a complete new breakfast and offered us all free drinks. This I believe was excellent service. As with most things, it can go wrong at times but they put it right without fuss. I would recommend this place very highly. And certainly come again.

The service, the food and the ambiance is lovely at Crookley Park and, their gift shop full of beautiful bits to purchase

Absolutely LOVE this place. Best brunch for miles around and the coffee is outstanding. Total gem of a place with cracking food and lovely staff. Always look forward to going and never disappoints.

A lush coffee shop/ brunch venue. Well worth it due to the cozy vibe. Perfect for a beach stroll and chill. Went back to have more breakfast and again it was amazing. Get the creamy mushrooms and add bacon! Careful as the toilet may not flush as efficiently as required. A poo-flush-poo approach may be needed.

What an amazing place. Best coffee in the area, food was delicious and staff were super nice. We came here every day while we are in our holiday. We tried their mocha and flat white which was so good, the brownies were delicious. We had breakfast as well, french toast, pancakes and shakshuka all were tasty.

Favourite place for brunch, always delicious food. Staff and atmosphere are lovely 10/10

This is a MUST visit cafe when on Hayling Island. We called for a reservation for lunch as we had heard lots about this place and wanted to make sure we got in. The location is right on the marina and is AMAZING. The staff are extremely friendly and make you feel like family, and the food is DELICIOUS. It's served with so much presentation and love, and tastes FABULOUS. I can not recommend this cafe enough. We had heard so much about it and they DIDN'T let us down. Thank you for a truly amazing experience.

Lovely cosy atmosphere with a funky twist. Friendly and funny staff. Cake and sweet treats were 10/10. Delicious looking food menu but we just had sweet treats and tea.

Pop over for a breakfast, it was very busy so will book next time. We did seats outside as the inside was fully booked . Was little cramped for 3 and very hot (August). The breakfast was outstanding, excellent quality, and delicious. Highly recommended.

Delicious (vegan) breakfast at Salt Shack. It was a lovely sunny day to look out across the water but they have plenty of blankets and heaters if it's chilly. Fuss was freshly cooked, coffee was really good and lovely service. Book a table is you want a front row table. Glad we found this place, can't recommend it enough.

A delightful gem hidden away at the back of the garden centre. A very good selection of food and drinks and ample space to sit and enjoy the views. Very friendly staff who look after you well.

Lovely friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. Lots of free parking. Great coffee and cake.

Best coffee shop we’ve ever been to. People are all great, the coffee cake is always superb and the laid back atmosphere is very welcoming. Great place.

Lovely coffee shop. Great selection of cool drinks on a hot day! Plenty of choice for lunch options as well as lots of cake! With catering for vegans and vegetarians too. Lovely space to sit outside in the warm weather with umbrellas for shade and easy parking. Plus, we always get fantastic service here, nothing is ever too much trouble, really friendly staff. Thank you.

Lovely sharing ploughman's. Good wine and beer nice view of the cricket

I've tried most cafes on the island and this is by far the best, prices include tea or coffee, which are very reasonable, staff are friendly, there is plenty of parking if you try it you won't go anywhere else,

New owners ,food cooked to order ,so nice and hot.good value for money.well worth a visit.

Perfect place for lunch with friends. Very delicious food and great selection. Really friendly staff. Lovely to be able to see the cows in the field next to the cafe.

Went as a family to Northney Farm for Sunday breakfast. The staff were really friendly and welcoming, nothing seemed as if it would be too much trouble. The food was lovely from the cooked breakfast to the Salmon, Smashed Avocado and poached eggs on toast and the Eggs Benedict. The setting is beautiful with views across the fields from the converted barn. We will be back.

Had a large family get together for afternoon tea. Despite it being very busy the standard of food was excellent with first class, friendly but discreet service, nothing was too much trouble. We were very impressed, well done Northney farm tea rooms! Tip : don't jump on your scales for a couple of days! 😄 Wishing you ongoing success. Steve James

This is a fantastic cafe, absolutely love the setting on the farm. Food was fantastic, service was super! There was ample parking and there even is an AED which is brilliant. They have an amazing history, run private functions and of course you can purchase milk from them, so support local! Highly recommended

This is the Waitrose farm situated in the picturesque Test Valley area of Hampshire. As well as a cafe and a farm shop there is also a lovely garden centre which is well worth a walk around. Really nice place.

A lovely place to visit to look around the Walled Gardens that has the National Buddliea collection,lovely quality plants and garden sundries.We had lunch there was very delicious food and plenty of food.Waiting service.Food shop was lovely with local food and crafts .Always lovely place to visit.

An enjoyable wander around the farm shop, garden centre and a lovely lunch at the cafe. Lots of choices on the menu and reasonable too. Visited the water gardens which we thought were very disappointing for the £10 entrance charge. Would definitely return to the cafe.

we went on a lovely sunny day and really enjoyed it. the food is excellent and the farm shop is well worth a visit. would recommend it. a very relaxing and friendly time to enjoy with friends

Such a beautiful little cafe. The staff were so friendly and happy. Food was so fresh and tasty too. Would definitely go back.

First time visiting. Absolutely gorgeous. The lighting, the art, the paintings were all so gorgeous. We stayed for tea and lunch. I had the mackerel pate. So yummy, the beetroot paired so well! No rush, polite staff team and lovely atmosphere. Really looking forward to visiting when it's warmer to enjoy the seats outside!

Great cafe, which is very conveniently suitable for vegans, coeliacs (they kept the gluten free cakes separate from gluten cakes, and used separate tongs), and those with dogs and a buggy/ pushchair. The only improvement would be if there were some more vegan and gluten free options. It's also quite expensive here and the portions are small but the space is nice and bright and there are plenty of seating options, with toilets on the ground floor.

Met a friend with my baby, they had the most clean and baby accommodating toilet. Including providing nappies if you needed it. They offered babycinno which my toddler loved and the food was amazing with a generous amount. Coffee was lovely ! Would recommend 100%

Great brunch place, excellent coffee and all the food is sourced locally which I love! The boot room is especially cosy for coffee and cake on a cold miserable day with its nice fireplace. Only downside (which isn't their fault) is it gets very busy at weekends so do book on advance to avoid disappointment as this has happened a couple times to us.

Went on a Monday and got the vegan full Kimbridge - it was lush! The only “criticism” is that I’d have liked 1 more hash brown because they were perfection and there was waaaaay too much butter lol. But we will definitely be going back. The courgette fritters were fried to perfection. Great atmosphere, lovely location and the staff were very accommodating!

Found this place by chance after camping in the New Forest for the weekend. 100% recommend, a great menu and yummy food. I had the chicken and waffles and it came with a generous helping of maple syrup. The only thing I would change is serving the syrup on the side. I also had one of the best chai lattes I’ve ever had. Our dogs were made to feel welcome and were given treats by the staff. Thank you so much for a lovely breakfast!

I was treated to an afternoon tea at Kimbridge Barn by a wonderful friend in March 2024. What an experience. We were seated in the window in the sunshine. Staff could not be more attentive and friendly. The food was delicious. The scones were huge - the size of a large mango - but beautifully soft & delicious and served warm. The sandwiches were scrummy, the ham hock mayo my favourite. The sunshine melted the sour cherry chocolate bar as we weren’t paying attention! It too tasted wonderful. Will definitely come back when the weather warms up. The package included unlimited teas and americano coffee. Would have been nice to include one special coffee like a latte for the price, but small niggle.
