Winter Stream Farm - Farmhouse Inns — Restaurant in England

My partner and I often dine here. The range of options is good and the menu caters to a range of different tastes. The food is always fresh and tasty. There is a large car park that's free to park in, some disabled spaces and a couple of electric charging spaces.

The great thing is, you can choose to sit inside or outside. The outdoor seating area is pleasant, especially on a nice day. If you have children, there is a children's area in a section of the restaurant. This is great as it keeps children entertained and keeps other parts of the pub calmer as families with energetic kids tend to sit in the children's area!

I often order the lasagne which is nice and cheesy, it also comes with chips, garlic bread and salad. I like the macaroni cheese too, this is tasty.

My partner has tried the pie and chips which he rates highly, he really likes the pies and says they are high quality and tasty. The carvery is also great, the turkey is so fresh and delicious, the roast potatoes are great and the gravy is lovely.

We've also had the Yorkshire pudding wrap that's served on the lunch menu, this is fantastic.

On trying the burgers, it was the only option I've tried that I was a little dissapointed about. I tried the chicken burger and whilst it had a lovely crispy coating and it seemed like real chicken breast, it was so thin! There was almost more coating than chicken. This has potential be a really good burger, so it was a shame it was so thin, I wouldn't choose this again. You can choose to have 2 burgers but really, 1 should be sufficient. My partner tried the beef burger and this too was very thin.

I often have icecream after a meal and it is really lovely! I particularly like the salted caramel and peppermint flavours. It's really good value for 2 scoops and a nice way to finish a meal. You can also get a flake and sauce included in the price which is a nice extra. The cakes are absolutely massive and impressive! They do offer a take home service for cakes, which is always a bit too tempting!

Overall the meals we've had have been really tasty, fresh and satisfying (apart from the burgers!).

The service is always really good, the staff are friendly, professional and very polite. I believe you can do reservations...

Went for Christmas lunch. The garlic mushroom bruschetta was very nice but the soup was too spicy for the person that ordered it. There was a good range of food at the carvery such as dauphonoise potatoes, maple coated carrots plus your usual vegetables and a choice of meats. The sprouts were too hard for some of my group to eat. The service started well but pre-ordered main was a bit slow. Then there was a long wait for our mains plates to be cleared for our whole section of the restaurant. The staff were obviously busy but the manager could of given a helping hand rather than walking backwards and forwards. I was disappointed that there wasn't any cheesecake available for dessert and my daughter was disappointed there wasn't any éclairs. When the menu said signature cakes I thought this meant what is usually on offer. This should be made clearer. The people on the table next to us finished their dessert as we finished our mains and were also waiting a very long time to get this cleared and get their tea/coffee and mince pies only to be told when the waitress arrived to go and get it yourself from the bar. I think better communication would of saved a lot of time. We weren't even offered mince pies with our hot drink. Generally it was the best food we have had for a Christmas lunch but the few things I have highlighted would make the whole experience great. One lady who was trying to keep it all going well was one of the chefs who was waitressing...

We chose here for a birthday lunch as we have young children and thought the indoor play area would be ideal, so us adults could sit and chat while the kids played nearby.

On arrival we were shown to our table right next to the play area. Not really sure what I expected, but it looked very tired and bare. Considering the size of the area, there wasn't really much there to actually play with. Though our kids ended up using their imaginations and running around making up their own games.

We ordered via the app to save waiting in the extremely large queue. Some drinks came about 15 minutes later, while others we had to chase up but they still didn't arrive until we had nearly finished our food.

The food was OK, but there were items missing from the carvery which was a shame.

Service wise, not great. One of the waitresses was cleaning tables, she was lovely and helped to wipe down our table which was very sticky. However, 2 other members of staff were quite rude. Clearly not happy in their jobs.

The place was extremely busy so I appreciate that the staff were probably under pressure, but I don't appreciate being met with attitude when I ask a simple question like "do you have any more stuffing please". Or being given a lecture about how "frozen yogurt and ice cream are exactly the same" ... They aren't... Yes they're similar but they aren't the same.

I don't recommend and won't...
