Being from a country background, I wanted to go to a local farm shop in Yorkshire, so my friends recommended I visit here. It did not disappoint. I first went to the cafe where I was seated in front of a large window with an almost panoramic view across the farms and the nearby towns. I chose to have the warm carrot and coriander soup and a sausage roll, a cappuccino with oat milk was on the cards to wash it down. After ordering at the till there wasn't much time to wait before the coffee arrived. The coffee was perfect temperature and was really smooth and rich in flavour. The roll and the soup came out together soon after. The soup came out a little too hot and needed quite some time to cool which is my only criticism with the experience. The soup was fresh and the roll was well filled. My preference would have been to have the roll filling a little bit more corse but this did not affect the flavour in the slightest and the pastry held up to be flaky. After the cafe I headed to the main shop which I found was well stocked and had a bit of everything you may want. The vegetables looked fresh and clean. The meat was weighed to order. There was a wide selection of bakes, pastry and other treat goods. I ordered a bit of each section and felt I paid a fair price. Overall, I really liked it and will be back.

Went for a catch up with an old friend. It was so busy being the festive period. However, the staff were making sure tables were cleared as soon as people vacated. The food was amazing and we took a quick look in the farm shop. I had to restrain myself in their cheese monger section. Amazing views out of the cafe with a decent outdoor area to boot. Will deffo be making a return trip in the future.

Ohhhhh Claire - the rules of engagement when unhappy with a service are: 1. Complain direct - public slaughter is, in all honesty, ineffectual yet bloody 2. Accept that customers aren't always right 3. NEVER virtue signal 4. Avoid the use of hyperbole We've eaten at Thorncliffe, buy all our meat etc, which makes us regulars I guess. Thorncliffe is a busy, throng-on experience, and the reason behind the busy is the fact that both cafe and shop provide excellent food and service. Anyone can check, via this app, whether Thorncliffe is busy, not busy, etc, thus allowing the customer control over when they visit. For my part the only time I've had a negative experience was down to a customer being an utter nuisance, not the staff. It wasn't you Claire. Highly recommend Thorncliffe - local, fantastic produce, pricing reflects the quality, friendly staff, all of which is why we frequently visit.

We live in Hertfordshire but we love our regular visits to Thorncliffe Farm Shop during our regular visits to Yorkshire. We always stock up on meat from the excellent butcher’s department and the pies are outstanding always fully filled and delicious, including both the fruit and meat varieties. It’s well located with plenty of parking. Staff are always very friendly and helpful.
