Great country cooking My husband and I had a delicious lunch here. We shared a heartwarming macaroni cheese and an amazing apple pie which was serviced with a wonderful spiced apple cider ice cream. The staff were really friendly - this is really warm country hospitality at its best. read more

Stopped in here for lunch one day while in Stanthorpe as it was recommended to us by others as well as locals! For lunch, I had the cottage pie. It was absolutely delicious. Freshly made and cooked on site using all local ingredients. My partner had the Pastie. He said it was really nice and very close to the pasties he had in South Australia. We shared a dessert of the Apple Pie. Now, I have to say that when we were told to eat here, every single person (both locals and people who have visited Stanthorpe) we spoke to said "you have to try the apple pie. Its famous and the best you have ever had". I said "they had better prove it". They were not wrong - this was the best apple pie I have ever eaten anywhere. The pastry is hand made on site and the apples are from their farm. I usually do not like apple pie but this has converted me. I would like to give them 4.5 stars but Yelp does not allow that. The only reasons it misses out is because the lunch and the dessert took 45 minutes (each) to come out. When we enquired why it took so long, we were advised that everything is made from scratch in the kitchen - nothing is pre-cooked. While this is great, it would of been good for them to advise us of this or put it on their menu. Another place I will definitely come back to when I am in Stanthorpe. read more

Sutton's Farm is many more things than the orchard that started it all, also operating a juice factory, a cidery, liqueur distillery and the home style Shed Café. The focus of the café's menu is local ingredients and simple, home style meals. The signature dish, which seems to be the immediate recommendation of any local within a 20km radius, is the apple pie. Sold by the slice, it is a generous portion of traditional apple pie, filled with apples from the farm, and served with cream and spiced apple cider ice cream made by Sutton's Farm. The pie is excellent, featuring a thin, yellow crust that's not buttery, but is still flaky and moist. The apple's are perfectly cooked, holding together nicely as you dig through the pie. The ice cream is a perfectly accompaniment of cinnamon and a slight cider kick, and I would recommend swapping the cream for a second scoop of the ice cream (why the ice cream is not sold by the box is beyond me). Neither the pie nor the ice cream are available as take-away, and given the generous serving of pie, it is best shared, or enjoyed after a very light lunch. The coffee is made with Merlo beans and is not great, with my long black being quite bitter and ending in trail of coffee grounds. A glass of house-made cider of juice would be a better choice unless you're dying for caffeine. The apple juices are made from individual apple varieties (i.e., Pink Lady, Granny Smith, etc), and with a variety of other fruit additions (i.e., with strawberry). The cider comes in sweet and dry varieties, the latter being a good choice for those who like cider but find it too sweet. The cost of the meals and drinks is reasonable, even bordering on the cheap side. The wait staff are friendly and attentive, without being overbearing, and service is quick. The decor of the café is very much in line the the name, with the space split equally between the café, and pallets of the Farm's wares ready for shipping. Despite clearly doubling as a shed, the space is clean and tidy, and the aesthetic adds to rather than detracting from the experience. Definitely worth a visit for a slice of pie and a bottle of juice. read more

Sutton's Farm - Sutton's Farm's famed apple pie with spiced apple ice-cream. - Cafes Near Me - Thulimbah, QLD

The first thing you notice is the size of the Apple Pie! It honestly looked like those old fashioned movies where mum puts the pie out on the window cill. I could have kicked myself for having eaten before we arrived! We turned up on a very busy day- most of the tables were full and after we had ordered and done some tasting (their full range of juice, cider and other products are available for tasting) we noticed a line behind us ten deep. Very attentive and patient staff made it less noticeable! We loved the mulled apple cider, a surprise after trying their normal dry cider as they had brewed it with cinnamon and all the lovely spices. Highly recommend it if you aren't driving! Worth a visit, hopefully the apple picking will be going ahead next year, between Jan and March. read more
