The Old Farmhouse And Tea Rooms

Set in a lovely part of the village, with ponies roaming free outside it was such a find when we arrived. The staff were so welcoming, the food was great and service fast. Lovely place and we recommend.

We were visiting Bournemouth from Saturday 23rd March-Monday 25th March 2024 and this was the first place we stopped after our long drive from North London! I had the leek and cheese lasagna,it was delicious!

Stopped here for breakfast, my husband said it was one of the best full English ones he has ever had ! No grease just tastey well cooked food. The service was quick and efficient and they were very busy by the time we left. Ver carta

We have frequently visited this charming cafe over the past few months. The food is always delicious and the service is friendly. The prices are reasonable for the quality of the food. We wish there were more cafes like this one.

We enjoy coming to this wonderful tearoom! We travel from Northampton to the New Forest and this is always our top choice for breakfast. They have a great selection and their cooked breakfast is delicious. The staff is always friendly and attentive. I highly recommend it!

As previous reviews from others, it's correct. Can't fault the food....when it eventually came, but service is very poor. Girl who took order looked like a deer in headlights, didn't seem to understand what was being said. 3 plates came out, had to send one back as incorrect changes hadn't been noted. My lunch didn't arrive at all, she hadn't written it down which is crazy as I said to her 4 meals and 4 drinks which she agreed to Ver carta

It seems like this restaurant has new owners. The service was awful - three young employees who had no concept of good service. We ordered three cream teas, but only received one scone which tasted like frozen doughy bread. The price was £7.65 for one scone, a branded tub of cream, a small pot of jam, and a drink. We were very disappointed, especially since we used to frequent this place often as locals. My only suggestion is to look for another restaurant unless the service and food quality improve. Despite this, the restaurant will likely stay busy due to its location.

My visit was very disappointing, I agree with Richard 's recent review. This tea shop is using the reputation of Burley to get its customers through the door, but is letting itself down. Just ordered tea and cake in the afternoon. I had to ask the waitress to stop putting her fingers inside the cups and get her to wash them again, they were stained despite going through the dishwasher. Staff uniform needs to be smartened up too. Cake was mediocre and synthetic, probably not homemade . Toilets were dirty and looked as though the floor hadn 't been swept properly in quite a long time. It looks quaint from the outside, but is shabby inside. It is using poor quality crockery and tableware, and i...

... a pity about the service. The restaurant wasn 't overly busy. Plenty of available tables. We chose to sit outside and after checking we were told it was table service. Eventually someone came out after a 15-20 minute wait and took our order. Turns out there was a couple behind us who 'd been waiting for 30 minutes... When the food came we were asked if we wanted cutlery. Said no but suggested having our drinks would be nice.... ' What did you order? ' Drinks brought to us.... no sugars offered. Eating panini 's? No napkins. Think there were only 2 staff working and all seemed very chaotic. When asking for the bill, the waitress said she was going to get the card machine and we never saw... Ver carta
