The Bath Soft Cheese Café & Shop — Restaurant in England

We had a lovely visit to the Bath Soft Cheese Café with my sister and mom. Knowing how busy it can get, we booked a table in advance, which turned out to be a good decision as it was very busy when we arrived at 12 o’clock. However, it did quieten down after 1 pm.

The menu offered a great selection, and the food was absolutely delicious. The coffee was excellent, and the cake selection was very tempting—definitely hard to resist! Despite a small delay of about 30 minutes for our food, we didn’t mind as we enjoyed chatting and sipping our drinks. The staff were very polite and treated us with respect.

The setting is beautiful, with plenty of outdoor seating, including charming little huts that provide a cozy and private space for groups. The farm itself is a delight to explore. You can watch the cows being milked in the milking shed, admire the herd in the fields, visit the duck pond, and see the various breeds of chickens in the chicken run. There are also wonderful walks from the farm, whether down to the river or along a scenic circular route.

There’s ample parking, and the whole place is well set up to welcome visitors. As a working farm producing their famous Bath Soft Cheese, it’s clear they’ve put a lot of effort into creating a great experience for their customers. I would definitely...

Always so disappointed that dogs are not allowed anywhere in side. We go every year for a nice walk around the well maintained footpaths with plenty of dog bins and toilets along the way but can never end in the cafe. They do a great job with the footpaths and are dog friendly until that point. On our first visit many years ago they allowed dogs upstairs, the food and drink was great, but now they can’t go anywhere inside not even far away from any food. It’s a real juxtaposition between their walk provision and their attitude in the cafe/shop. Would love to eat there but don’t want to sit outside in winter. Their truck and huts just feel like dog owners are unwelcome and are derogated to a mobile takeaway van, cold and wet outdoor seating with no table service and they try and make us feel better by putting some cute huts up. Would definitely go more if dog friendly. Couldn’t even pop in the shop for cheese without tying the dog outside which I hate to do. It’s also quite surprising given how dog friendly Bath is yet Bath Soft Cheese aren’t. Come on guys, you should allow dogs. Most places with similar set ups in Bath do so it’s not a question of licensing and food contamination it’s just an all round...

This is a review of Bath Soft Cheese as an outside event caterer for my daughter's wedding reception which was held in a nearby barn in May 2024. The organisation for the event was a breeze, we had discussions with Camilla, Georgia and chef Phil. We sampled some of the canapes about 3 months before the wedding and communication was great in the run up to the big day which included a meeting and walk through at the venue about a month beforehand. The pricing was in line with other caterers we had contacted. However compared to weddings we had attended in recent years, the quality and appropriate quantity of the food was outstanding. We had overheard many compliments about meal as well as receiving many direct praises from our guests. The timing of the food service was superb too, chef even checked to ensure that the planned proposed seating time did not need to be altered. At the evening do we were presented with what was simply an amazing grazing table. Full of their own cheeses, cured meats, fruits, vegetables and dips. It was a real showstopper. We cannot recommend Bath Soft Cheese enough based on this event. It certainly made our special day that much more memorable....
