What visitors say
The parking was fine and there was a fair on. Unsure if it's because of our timing, but the gluten-free options on the cafe menu were three pastry options (crumble, flabjack, and brownie) with no savory items. They billed the vegan options as gluten-free, but the two terms are not the same thing so we couldn't trust it. The farm shop wasn't much better. If you're coeliac, it might be best to skip this one. If you're not, the cheese scone was one of the best I've had.

We spent the day at Ben's Beach Party. As the weather was hot it was a great day with a large sand pit (bring bucket and spade), two splash areas (remember to bring swimming kit) and lots of other free stuff for the kids to do. Probably best for younger kids. There are benches with shade and deckchairs. Bring a picnic and make a day of it.

What a great place! Popped in for a lunch and didn’t leave disappointed. Food was lovely and fresh with a good choice. Couldn’t resist getting a cake either as they looked amazing! Planning on making the time to head back there again very soon to try the full menu! Would definitely recommend this place if you haven’t tried before. Friendly staff, spacious and clean.

A good place to spend a day with the kids, at “the beach” opposite at the Ben’s yard. The food and drinks are expensive but you can have your own food/picnic. The paddle pool is nice for the kids and is 3£ The riders have different prices, but you can buy the wristband and that can cover all the rides. Nice place, recommend

People say this place offers a great cafe with good coffee and a decent assortment of sweet and savory items, a fantastic farm shop with a good selection of fresh meat, and a large, well-maintained play area for kids.
Other reviews mention many shops can be empty and prices can be very expensive.
