This is a farm shop and restaurant/cafe that was an excellent find on the A436 at Chiseldon. I…read morehighly recommend the traditional English breakfast. I selected the Small Farmhouse breakfast which consisted of sausage, bacon, egg, hash brown, mushrooms, baked beans and a slice of toast with butter and jam. My husband selected the Farmhouse breakfast which had the same ingredients but twice as much. Of special note are the sausages which were very meaty and that the breakfast was cooked to perfection with none of the grease that can often be present. They also serve a full range of hot drinks so I was able to select a decaf latte. The menu includes some sandwich-type options and there were a few scones etc. for those who don't have our appetites. Service was fast for us. We arrived soon after they opened so only about 4 tables were already filled, so I cannot speak to service speed when they are busy, but they looked to have plenty of staff on duty. I forgot to take photos of the food but it was excellent.

The food came out at a reasonable time and the ingredients tasted fresh. I order the Strawberry Patch, which is the perfect fix for your sweet tooth. Shoutout to the cook Will for getting me to like breakfast food again! One of the servers that helped was named Harrison and he was a gem. Constantly checking on us and making sure we had plenty of water, tea and of course sugar. I will defiantly be coming back in the near future!

However, the outside and certain areas are not well kept and look extremely dated. This could do with a nice rejuvenation. The food however was perfect. I had the Bannella which is pancakes banana and Nutella. Oh boy it was delicious. Very sickly near the end but what can you expect?! Thoroughly enjoyed every bite and good portion size.

Great little coffee/tea shop in the beautiful village of Cranford St Andrew on the outskirts of…read moreKettering. The cafe is relatively new to the village having been converted from an old blacksmiths (hence the name). The coffee shop is owned by the same couple who run the Coffee Place in Kettering and they have stuck with the same winning formula. Compact lunchtime menu with teatime treats. Home made biscuits and cakes make for good eating. The interior is contemporary while maintaining the tradition and history of the building. Everytime we have been there the place is buzzing with a good collection of locals, walkers and business people. I would strongly recommend this is place as a point to meet people or grab a coffee after a walk around the village.
