Have not been here for quite a while. Glad to see that this is a great Cafe. We had a Rise & Shine with Poached eggs, smashed avocado on Sourdough toast and a Sausage Buttie. The poached egg was a bit overdone for me but still delicious and the bread roll with the bacon buttie was fantastic according to my wife. We also had a flat white and Decaf Americano. Highly recommend.

Lovely place to visit. The food in the cafe was delicious, we had breakfast but will return another time to try the lunch menu. Had a nice walk around the farm shop and bought a few bits. Will definitely return and would highly recommend

What a gorgeous place, cafe, farm and food shop, gift shop. Not cheap but quality is excellent. Everyone is so friendly and professional. Today I had the veggie quiche, homemade it was full of veggies not just tomato!!!! Salad was delicious. Christmas visit to this absolute gem.

I decided to drive up the A19 and have breakfast at Roots and I was not disappointed. Nice little farm cafe, relaxing atmosphere and the staff were attentive, professional and friendly. The quality of the breakfast was excellent, I had an extra rasher of bacon instead of the egg. Tasty and lovely presentation, which just makes you want to dive in...which I did. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The one thing I did like was the presentation of my Americano, never experienced this before, my shots of coffee were served in a rustic roots farm mug, with a pot of hot water to the side. Therefore I could make my coffee as strong or as weak as I liked...a really nice touch. All in all a lovely experience 5/5 I'll definitely be back...thank you Roots

Great cafe with a good selection of traditional tasty food. Friendly with good customer service. Understandably very busy but well worth a visit.

I really enjoy farm shop cafes and this is no exception. It's always busy, but there's lots of space - especially since they put a tented area into the farm yard to booster the number of tables. I had soup and a cheese scone. I always choose that because it's so tasty. After lunch we had a look in the farm shop, gift shop and vegetable stall on the site. It's always a pleasure to visit and my pal bumped into two different acquaintances, proving how popular it is locally.

I visited this farm shop with my partner for an English breakfast, cooked very well, tasty, hot and filling, their drinks were great too, I had a Cappuccino with cinnamon sprinkled on top. The food shop has great selections of products also, and their meat counter is very good value, I bought 2.5kg of beef mince for 22.50, and was given an extra 250g as added value. I was also asked if i wish to portion uo the mince which i did into 500g portions, very friendly staff. They also sell some nice selection of different teas of which i frequent.

Really nice people, great service and amazing food. Five of us got a table together, including a 2 year old, and they were very accommodating. All of us commented on how fanatic our food was. All very happy with our experience. I had the Strawboffee Pie for dessert, it was incredible.
