What
a
quirky
place.
A
bookstore
on
a
farm
with
a
large
cafe?
I
have
to
hand
it
to
the
owners
of
Astley
Book
Farm
&
Coffee
Shop.
You
have
a
unique
experience
here
that
will
intrigue
others
when
described
to
them.
Firstly,
the
farm.
Yep,
there
is
not
a
lot
to
it.
The
lane
that
leads
to
the
Book
Farm
is
pedestrian
at
worst.
I
was
able
to
navigate
it
without
having
to
get
off
my
race
bike.
Once
at
the
Farm
House
I
noticed
the
car
park
was
packed,
but
there
weren't
any
people
around.
The
wooden,
latched
entrance
is
clearly
marked
with
amusing
signs.
These
signs
are
found
throughout
Astley
Book
Farm
&
Coffee
Shop.
Opening
the
door
reveals
what
looks
like
a
library.
In
the
distance
there
is
a
hustle
and
bustle.
That's
the
cafe.
The
decor
is
floor
to
ceiling
much
in
line
with
what
it
was
originally,
an
old
wooden
barn.
Grab
one
of
many
available
tables,
take
a
look
at
the
menu
and
head
to
the
checkout.
There
you
will
find
a
fine
arrangement
of
traditional
cakes.
I,
as
I
normally
do,
ordered
a
flat
white
with
oat
milk.
It
was
great
to
see
the
availability
of
dairy
alternatives
at
no
extra
cost.
Be
warned
though,
the
coffee
is
expensive
at
£3.50.
I
can't
comment
on
the
food.
From
taking
a
look
around,
the
bacon
and
sausage
sandwiches
were
a
winner.
The
food
that
took
my
fancy
was
the
chocolate
bread
and
butter
pudding,
available
with
cream,
custard
or
ice
cream.
It
looked
delicious.
Astley
Book
Farm
&
Coffee
Shop
also
cooks
"artisan"
pizzas,
sausage
rolls
and
other
bread
based
deli
style
dishes.
Definitely
worth
a
look
if
you're
in
the
area.
