I booked a 14 for a birthday brunch. They were happy to accommodate a large booking and made up feel welcome from arrival. We were suitably seated at a large table with ample space for everyone to socialise. The service from Rosie was seamless and outstanding as was a gentleman who served our drinks, (sorry didn’t get his name). We were served our food at the same time with it all being to a high standard so thank you chef Scott. We had a great time and will come again. Thank you x
Deliciously tasty food, excellent service and comfortable atmosphere. Even on a really busy Sunday lunchtime, my Server Kerry (Kez) was very attentive and friendly and made me feel really welcome, even though I was a lone diner! Will definitely be going back again for the excellent Roast! 😀
Lovely friendly staff with delicious food. The fire is on now as the weather is getting colder making it cosy too. Would recommend, we had the breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed it
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent and outstanding experience at Fowlers Farm We had such a wonderful visit to Fowlers Farm. Initially, we were told that walk-ins weren’t possible, but my friend cheekily asked anyway—and to our delight, the team went above and beyond to accommodate us. A special mention must go to Rosie, who handled everything with such grace and friendliness. She made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down, and her attentiveness really stood out. I’d also like to give kudos to the chef. I understand there was some hesitation at first, but his kindness shone through, and the food was absolutely delicious. It’s rare to see that level of care and flexibility, and it made our evening feel extra special. Overall, Fowlers Farm turned what could have been a disappointing night into a truly memorable one. Thank you to the whole team for their hospitality—we’ll definitely be back! Thank you to Mitchell’s and Butlers for the coupons too! We loved the whole experience.
I have been to fowlers farm a few times and never had an issue but this time I was pretty disappointed and it was all related to the food! I can't fault the service or the atmosphere. The roast beef didn't have a lot of flavour, the potatoes were not cooked enough at all, very pale, not crisp at all and we just couldn't eat them. Additionally I was really disappointed with the kids meal. Other members of the party had meals with fries and the fries were perfect for a child to eat but my child's meal came out with HUGE chunky chips, not desirable to a child at all. They would not eat them because they were too chunky, not what a kid expects when they ask for chips, and also stressful when they see others at the table with the kind of chips they thought they were getting. It's frustrating when you already have a kid that's pretty fussy anyway. The vegetable sticks were a chunk of cucumber cut into 4, again, huge and not really desirable for a child, I'd rather be told it's cucumber sticks than vegetable sticks as thought we were going to get a bit more than that. Disappointing. Lastly, my desert, the cheesecake was delicious, I cannot fault that at all. The children desserts we ordered (chocolate brownie with ice cream) came out and we were told to be careful because the plates were hot. Not ideal to give to children, but also not ideal when the kids want the ice cream. The ice cream melted pretty quickly. Not only that but their plates were the size of a saucer and them trying to eat the brownie caused the melted ice cream to go absolutely everywhere. Just serve them on bowls, the kids don't care for warm brownie if they don't get the ice cream they want!! I'll be honest, I don't think I will be back anytime soon and certainly wouldn't recommend it to others with kids, the whole experience was just stressful and I I honestly feel a bit peeved having to pay for meals that just weren't up to scratch!
