Tablehurst Farm Shop And Cafe - Wealden

I recently visited this restaurant and was amazed at the positive changes made for both the farm and the community. You can now shop in the farm store and find all the ingredients for your meals at reasonable prices, including biodynamic and organic produce. The staff are friendly and happy to help with any questions. I can't wait to visit again soon. The cafe is charming, especially with the new wood fire heated seating.

There is no other cafe or shop nearby that prioritizes local quality like this one does. The staff is fantastic and the food is very delicious.

Tablehurst Farm Shop used to be a favorite spot for many in the local community, but it has now become unaffordable for most due to high prices. The new management seems to be focused on attracting wealthier clientele and becoming a trendy gourmet destination. I was surprised when the manager asked me to vote for the shop in a competition, even suggesting I could vote multiple times from different devices. This goes against the values the shop used to stand for.

We both ate the farmers breakfast, which is essentially a cooked breakfast with farm eggs, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, tomato and homemade baked beans and bread. I never knew a cooked breakfast could taste so good! The homemade baked beans are the best I’ve ever tasted, the sausages, bacon and mushrooms were full of flavour and perfectly seasoned. Friendly service.

I get it. Community run venture, no profit, all organic. And its a great idea. However I found the food in the cafe (lunch) to be only so-so. Exception is the sausage roll which, whilst expensive, was delicious. Rest of what I and friends had...
