Broom House Farm Shop - Durham

Wow!! Really impressed with this café. Good selection of foods, reasonable prices, veggie options, great tea and coffees. Lovely sitting areas inside and out. Cycle parking right by the seating. Appears a happy place well managed. Lot's to do for little ones, with an adventure forest, mini tractors, etc etc. Really enjoyed our food, well cooked and presented. Best café we have come on in a week of exploring the area. Farm shop next door. Wish I could give 6 stars!!Definitely recommend.

Support your local farms. Support your community. Avoid supermarkets it is only your demand prolonging the impact to health they supply.
Nice little shop with some local gift items but for me the farm eggs on butcher are why I visit. There’s a coffee shop also, food always looks good although I’ve only ever popped in for some coffee.

I really like this place, the cafe serve good food and nice hot drinks and the terrace is relaxing. There is a lot to do for kiddies too.
The farm shop is a real one, with local produce from the farm (the meat is excellent) and others locals producers, including in the gift shop with locals crafters. I believe that it is the best place if you want to shop locally.

It's a good place to bring children plenty thinks to do there is woodland,hay barns to climb on and go and see the pigs and ducks

I base my review on a blueberry and almond slice and a Cappuccino, costing £6.20
Cappuccino was too milky & the cake slice was nice.
The highlight was seeing the goats. 🐐

Shop had a wide range of local products and meat from the farm. Local beers/wine/gin, 3 for 2 on sausages. We think the meat was cheaper than at the farmers market so worth the drive if you buy a larger quantity. The coffee shop was excellent, breakfast meals until 12 then a lunch time menu. Range of all days meals, bacon roll for example. Bacon roll was outstanding, 3 large thick slices of flavoursome bacon in a soft roll. Childrens meals good value.
Lovely atmosphere, busy but food only took 5 mins to arrive. Coffee good quality.
Definitely recommend a visit. Lambs, piglets, some goats and a forest adventure area which you need to book tickets for. Closed on my visit but will come back. Bring wellies!

Breakfast in the cafe is worthwhile, very tasty. Fresh meat, organic veg and cheese selection at the shop excellent, but a tad expensive, but worth it for a special occasion where the quality and choice of the meat is important. I often send email in advance for things I know I want ( eg. French trimmed rack of lamb) and it's ready when you get there. Always excellent, well hung meat. .

Nice farm day out with a great woodland adventure and some educational activities.

If your wanting to go into the forest Adventure its £20 for 2 Adults and 2 Children family ticket or 5.50 each for over 2+. Dogs are welcome and no smoking on the site. Season ticket available also.

The site also has some farm animals a maze small tractors and a park with small wooden fort food available onsite with a farm shop and restaurant.

Food in the restaurant was not overpriced and of a good quality.

Downside if you wanted to bring a picnic I think its a little out of the way from the actual main site which from a business point of view I can see why.

Everyone enjoyed the day and it was worth paying the extra to enter the forest and do the activities which did take best part of the day. The forest has plenty enough to do for the price I think its responsible.

Not forgetting Big Dave that pig be big!
