    Amazing brunch on a lovely welcoming Yorkshire farm! Went a couple of weeks ago as our local café was full but damn, we were so glad of it in the end! We were greeted by a great front of house with the thickest Yorkshire accent and a welcoming charm, then shown to our table without having booked which we were very appreciative of. We ordered breakfast / brunch, which was divine. Coffee and juice was excellent too. Very swift service and food arrived promptly also. Very clean toilets, which I know matters to a lot of people! We also looked in the farm shop afterwards and wow, what a farm shop it is! Anything and everything you can think of is on sale here, with the biggest ice cream counter I’ve ever seen! We will definitely be returning to purchase some more goodies after another brunch. Thank you farmer Copley!

    We called in here on our way home from visiting family, we live relatively local to here, we stopped off to get some afternoon tea, which was very nice, we also snuck in an extra bun each too which were both of an excellent quality, we had a quick stop into the farm shop before we left, picked up some beef ribs and some lamb sausages, they were a little on the pricey side but infinitely better than that which you'd get from the supermarket. All on all some 5 star food, both from the restaurant and the shop, came with a price but well worth it for the quality, couple of improvements that could have been made to the service in the restaurant, but in whole an excellent visit, I look forward to going back for more of those beef ribs!!

    Amazing place, large menu, with plenty of meat, veggie and vegan options. Portion sizes are quite large so I advise coming with an appetite. There are daily specials posted on the walls via brown parchment paper, so it is worth checking out what the daily soup/Sunday dinner meat etc is. Staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable, food is paid for after ordering instead of after your meal. Would advise coming here for your lunch/dinner.

    A Very nice place. We visited the farm shop, lots of quality stuff at a fair price. Then visited the cafe/restaurant, again very good quality food at a fair price. Lovely staff and plenty of options. I had the steak pie and chips (pictured). Would highly recommend.

    Savoury afternoon tea , everything was lovely and the staff were very attentive. Only thing I found a bit odd was the cheeses had nothing to go with it such as a cracker but they were lovely anyway. We love the quality of the food in the farm shop at Copleys too. Great place

    Nice selection of food in a cosy environment, not rushed. Next to a shop of farm produce which you just need to buy as it's looks so good.

    It's such a lovely farm with strawberry plants on raised frames. The strawberries were big and juicy, the best I've tasted from a farm. We had the ice cream from the farm shop too which was 😋. The staff were also friendly

    Went for afternoon tea today with the hubby... the venue is stunning real Yorkshire vibes. We were greeted by huge smiles 😃 and taken into a warm and inviting restaurant area. The afternoon tea was phenomenal we got asked if we would like 1 or 2 afternoon teas as they are quite large but from experience of other "large" teas we were skeptical and asked for 2!! The slate board they arrived on was massive it had 3 large finger slices and I mean large! The cakes were enough to easily cut in 2 and share the tea and coffee was nice too. The staff were attentive and nothing was too much for them they served with a smile and a chat, which is what we like. If I could give 10 stars I honestly would!!!! I highly recommend a visit to the cafe and while your there have a nosey round the farm ship too there is some beautiful produce.

    Went for Pumpkin Fest Oct 9. Been before and not let down this time either. Many photo opportunities. Didn't use the fair, but good rides as well as Copley's caterpillar tractor rides seemed to be appreciated by the kids. Farm shop always fully stocked with a good variety of local and seasonal farm produce, not to mention the seasonal gifts. We went to the Moo cafe and had Sunday Roast. Lovely beef, crispy/crunchy veg, massive Yorkshire puds. Big portions so they were kind enough to provide doggy bag/box. Had another meal tonight with it. Puddings looked big, so be warned. We were too full to partake. All in all a great place to visit - enjoy.

    Great place when they do the corn maze and any other event but unfortunately I had to get a takeaway coffee the other day as the outlets on the field weren't open. I got charged £3.59 for an under average tasting cuppa in a paper cup. Pretty mortified with that.

    What a great place this is... We were travelling from the South to Scotland and have a Sawdays book and this popped up so we took a mini detour and came here. What a surprise... It was very busy but the place is big enough so didn't feel over crowded We only wanted a coffee, we were shown to a table and served immediately. Everything looked amazing, with a field to fork mantra and seasonal cooking the food looked really good, fab menu as well with lots of choice... The cakes looked so good as well with a few nods to liquorice which is grown here There is a shop bursting with yummy things to eat and drink... Check out the bee hive in the far corner. There's also a pyo strawberry bonanza on at the moment and an ice cream shop.... The place is full of goodies!! We loved our stop off here, purchased a few bits and set off very happy.... Now we know, next time we will definitely stop for food

    Our first visit this year for the pumpkin festival. Our baby is only 7 months old but was hugely entertained walking round in her carrier enjoying taking it all in. The grown ups had a great time too. Plenty to see and do; very organised parking and lots of options for eating and drinking. We will be making this an annual outing for sure

    It was our first visit there for breakfast at Moo Cafe. Nice atmosphere, bright and great food. Good selections of food on breakfast menu. A great place for vegetarian. Coffees were nice. Cafe was neat and tidy. Staffs were pleasant. Service was quick and easy. We also shopped at the Farm House. A lot of nice local produce. I wish we had more time to look around. Will come back.

    Went to the pumpkin festival, and we loved it again. This is our 3rd time, and it was the best yet. The pumpkin prices were great value and better than some years. There are far more attractions and food stalls than before. One stall even sold wellies 👍. I can't wait for next year😁 if I was to pick at anything was the prices for the food and drinks was a tad high but didn't stop us enjoying our time there.

    Visited for the pumpkin festival and had a really good few hours despite visiting on the rainiest day ever! The experience itself was brilliant, lots of activities for the children with the fairground, pottery painting tent and face painting etc. Food options were good, nice big (warmish) marquee to get food in but we chose to eat from one of the stalls/vans outside and was given extra donuts 'bonus'. Loved all the scenes around the pumpkin field for photo opportunities. All in all a fab day just shame about the great British weather.

    Good farm. Thoroughly enjoyed the strawberry picking session with my kids. I like the accessibility and children friendly nature of the farm. Highly recommended

  • 3/5 frances m. 2 years ago on Google
    We went for the pumpkin festival and had a lovely day with friends and our babies. Loads of pumpkins in lots of fields. Downside was the cafe marquee. It felt really dirty in the service area and the tables weren't cleaned whilst we were there so didn't feel particularly covid safe. Not really any vegan options or even non-dairy milk for the coffee. The bar was also a bit disappointing, a bit basic, was definitely expecting some mulled cider to suit the seasonal festivities but nothing like that unfortunately.

  • 5/5 morgan q. 2 years ago on Google
    Definitely worth a visit. Amazing pumkin farm and lots of activities to do too 🧡🎃🧡

  • 5/5 Mark T. 2 years ago on Google
    Brilliant , staff were like big kids and had loads of fun too. Nothing better than staff that love their job. The bloke's on the archery we're so excited it was funny. The lady on there too was really nice even though her hands we're frozen , definitely recommend this. I can't leave the guy out on the entrance he was happy smiling and added to the fun , nice to see nice people working with the public

  • 5/5 Emily E. 2 years ago on Google
    First time visiting their pumpkin festival and absolutely loved it!! Was a great morning out, picking pumpkins and then having refreshments. Lots of activities for children, so very enjoyable! The Moo cafe and the farm shop are also great! Definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 Hope E. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow! This place is so incredible that after visiting the first time we went back the next day. Everything we ate and drank was delicious, and the staff was so friendly. It was lovely chatting to Heather too!

  • 5/5 Sobia H. 9 months ago on Google
    Very well set up for strawberry picking, staff are nice and friendly. Could have better signage to how you get to the strawberry fields but apart from that, wonderful experience.

  • 1/5 Charlie O. 9 months ago on Google
    Wasn’t a very nice visit in my opinion. We got seated and waited about 20 minutes for a server to come over. Then they brought us the wrong drinks and charged us a higher price for them (you pay before you eat), then when our food came mine was cold. And on top of all of this they charged us the eating in price for the cakes we got for take away and only found out later in the shop once it was too late to return them. Would not recommend. For the prices especially, you don’t get good service.

  • 5/5 Stephanie B. 9 months ago on Google
    Wonderful place and staff are so friendly and nice. Berry picking was amazing and the ice cream was delicious! We will definitely be going back again! Parking was easy and everything is signposted. The prices are very reasonable too.

  • 5/5 Sue L. 8 months ago on Google
    Plenty of space to watch and friendly efficient service. Menu doesn't feature small portions but I was able to order child portion. I had sausage roll which was fab...so much so that I bought some uncooked ones from the shop afterwards. Would definitely go again.

  • 5/5 Martin C. 8 months ago on Google
    We visited to do the sunflower picking. Lots of flowers to choose from. Staff were very friendly. We then visited the restaurant for some lunch. Fast friendly service, food was lovely. After this we went into the farm shop. Such excellent products of high quality too. Always love visiting this place . We are coming back again in September for the car show .

  • 4/5 Neil H. 7 months ago on Google
    I believe this was the first time for this tribute band festival, as such it wasn't overcrowded and was reasonably priced. The bands were all good and once people had had a few beers, they got out of their camping chairs and everyone joined in dancing. There were plenty of toilets for the number of people, the bar was a little over run, so that operation needs smoothing out but nothing causing too long a wait. Needed more food stalls. A quicker turn around of bands would be better and allow a couple more bands to have played. Room for improvement but a good start!

  • 5/5 Isabella L. 6 months ago on Google
    Fantastic day at the Pumpkin Festival (even with all the mud from the storm the day before!) Lots of stuff for the little ones to do including rides and story reading with the wicked witch, and so many great photo ops! Would definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 Matthew G. 7 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Andrew W. 3 years ago on Google
    Good quality and a good range of fresh produce. Excellent

  • 5/5 Alec G. 3 years ago on Google
    Great choice of foods, the butchers has a wide selection of freshly prepared options. Staff are all really friendly. We will be shopping here again! 😊

  • 1/5 Sheila B. 3 years ago on Google
    Terrible. Staff threw my loyalty card away, (my bill was over £50) with the explanation “you’ve been deleted” no offer of replacement or any other options. Their products are different (£12 for a stir fry, we didn’t like. Ringtons biscuits can be purchased £1.20 cheaper elsewhere as examples) . I accept that I had misplaced my card for some time but have used a friends on previous visits, I go on a regular basis (2/3 times a month) to both the cafe and shop. Whilst selections are varied and different they are extremely expensive and as they can be sourced elsewhere it is unlikely I will return for similar treatment.

  • 5/5 Michael H. 3 years ago on Google
    Expensive but that's what you get with quality the Beef is wonderful and the home made ice-cream is gorgeous

  • 5/5 Joseph C. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Barry D. 3 years ago on Google
    Outstanding selection of food and drinks, top pork pie!! Also sells limited range of non foods. Observable bee hive in season . Full covid safety procedures in place.

  • 5/5 Michael C. 3 years ago on Google
    Note that some of the reviews here are for the experiences and cafe despite this being an entry clearly marked as being for the Farm Shop. As such you may need to filter through to get actual reviews. The Farm Shop has a great selection of their own (and local?) produce as well as lots of bought-in higher end stuff for treats. Good bakery, butchers, ice cream and gift area too. A little expensive but the quality justifies it in most cases. Very pleasant staff, incredibly clean and tidy and sound implementation of safety process for COVID-19.
