"MrsC decided, as part of her recovery, for us to meet at Bicester Village for a wander in the Autumn sunshine and perchance to get some victuals whilst we were about it. I met her at the well appointed Bicester Village station (which must have the best waiting room, by far, of any network rail destination in the country) early doors and we pootled over to Farmshop for a late breakfast. We were seated swiftly, on entering, on a row of two cover seatings along the expansive framed windows alongside a walkway into the outlet village. A minor concern, on scanning the menu, was the perceived absence of both dairy alternatives for the drinks and a plant based breakfast choice beyond coconut yoghurt, granola and berries (which someone on the adjacent table had and looked very good). Somewhat perversely we found a cooked “plant based” breakfast in the Eggs section? Which, in concert, we both ordered and then were informed by our server, Nikole, that they had a plethora of PB alternatives for their hot drinks. So we added a coconut flat white, for MrsC, and a decaf oat milk latte pour moi. Both the drinks and food were despatched to the table in good time and were very good. The PB brekkie dispensed with faux meat items and the, now, ubiquitous scrambled tofu and a large oval plate was generously filled with; Fresh wilted greens with a soupçon of salt crystals and chopped chives Two gently softened fresh halved tomatoes Half an avocado mixed with fresh mint Two decent sized freshly cooked flat cap mushrooms Two slices of toasted sourdough (sadly bereft of any spread) Some disappointing canned baked beans and Less than homemade mini hash browns. All in all a light, but substantial, vegan breakfast with, mostly, freshly cooked ingredients of good quality. Coffees were good to boot. Service was light touch but attentive and warm and we enjoyed a great start to our meander around the “village”. It would probably warrant a 4.5 but for the irritating and unnecessary addition of a 13.5% “discretionary” service charge to the bill. I recognise I’m a curmudgeonly old fart but, on two counts, I find these additions an affront. Firstly “discretionary” means an individuals choice; not one unilaterally applied by the restaurant for the customer to have the “discretion” to remove it! As MrsC will willingly avow, especially if alcohol has been involved, I am more than willing to apply the traditional discretionary service thank-you (or tip as we used to refer to it) both regularly and generously. Further frustratingly there is no blanket suggestion that said 13.5% is given to the backroom staff or front of house. Secondly why is there a need to add a service charge and negatively differentiate yourselves? If my breakfast needs to be priced at ,a not unreasonable, £14.76 rather than the menu price of £13.00 than so be it. That’s far more honest and transparent than the route taken and a whole lot less alienating than the current practice. Surely there’s an expectation that if I’m ordering a meal via table service that it will be delivered to me where I’m sat? It seems churlish to add a sum to the bill for the taking of my order and its delivery to me. In summary. Service was great Food was very good. Menu could be clearer. Restaurant space is great with good atmosphere Service charge is a nonsense. Would I recommend it. Of course. There’s loads more positives than downsides and the quality and quantity of the food and the service itself is spot on."

Got to Bicester early and decided to go here. One of the best full English breakfasts I’ve had in a long time. Excellent coffee and the service was outstanding. We couldn’t fault our experience here.

So nice! Was very hungry so managed to get a table here after a spot of shopping. Quickly seated, prompt waiter and great service! The food was 10/10 also! Highly recommend the pancakes with bacon and syrup and also the farm full english!

Lovely restaurant with inside seating and a terrace as well if weather permits. The dish selection is quite sufficient and the service was quick, efficient and friendly. The salads were freshly made and delicious. Would certainly go back while in Bicester Village!! Ver carta

Have been here many times, but today was great! A late lunch after an early finish. Staff were terrific and the food was excellent. Although... They must try harder.... To come up with a dish that beats the wood baked prawns! Exceptional and I can't resist it, even though I know the cheeseburger is awesome. Thank you so much. Will keep coming back.

A visit to Bicester is made even better by kicking off the day with a fantastic breakfast at this particular Farmshop location. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure you have all you need. My personal favorite is the eggs Benedict, but everything I have tried is consistently fresh and delicious. This restaurant is an ideal spot to grab a bite before a day of shopping.

This restaurant is fantastic! The interior is charming and the staff are very friendly. We decided to have afternoon tea, which is served from 3pm. You can't make a reservation, but we had no trouble getting a seat. The sandwiches, cakes, and scones were all delicious. The portion size was just right, not too big like some afternoon teas can be. We also treated ourselves to some Prosecco. Ver carta

Decided to take my girls out for the day. Struggle now to get together as they are both at university. My younger daughter happy as she bought a coach bag for university. Ate at the Farm Shop. Loved the rustic, casual interior. I was surprised that there was not a queue as in the past always struggled to eat there. Food and hospitality good and would recommend if you fancy something casual.

I was served by a lovely lady called Klaudia who was kind, sweet, and conscientious about my allergies. I made sure not to order anything I couldn't eat but the fact that she was so diligent about it was amazing. The food was perfect, so much so that I wish I didn't have a train to catch or I would have ordered more. This place is perfect for a sit down meal, a quick brunch, or if you want to take a break from shopping in Bicester.

"I don't know what on earth happened last night when we had dinner here, the reviews looked good, and we're struggling to understand how. We're very easily pleased and takes a lot to prompt a complaint, but we had an absolutely awful experience. My partner ordered the belly pork off the specials board, and it turned up on a side plate, a very few overcooked bits of diced pork thrown in with a few veg. I had the cauliflower with braised lentils, this turned out to be a few mainly burnt cauliflower florets thrown into a plate of sludgy lentils. The chunky chips we ordered came out as skinny fries, not a big deal but just added to the general lack of care. We were both mortified, to the point of embarrassment. We ate it as we were hungry and there was nowhere else to go as we were staying at a local campsite. One of the team took the plates away, and another brought the bill. Neither of them asked us how the meal was, else we'd have said how disappointed we were. So we just left, just as the table next to ours was commenting on the small portion sizes of their food. We should have complained but we were hungry, disappointed, tired and just wanted to leave and simply couldn't face the confrontation in the busy setting. No excuses but that's how it was. We are very relaxed easy going people but this was a truly disappointing meal and experience and we felt robbed of £45 instead of enjoying what we'd hoped would be a lovely Saturday night out and special occasion."
