Cafés · Burntwood
There's a proper farm shop feel to this place — butchery counter, fresh bread, pies — and a café attached that fills up with families, especially around 10am, so aim earlier or later if you want a calmer table. It's on the small side, which is worth knowing if you're arriving with a pram, though buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu are all sorted, and parking is free. The breakfasts are the draw: generous enough that one parent couldn't see the toast under the scrambled egg, with sausage and bacon people come back for, plus a good run of puddings and vegan options. There's outdoor seating too. Staff are usually warm and working hard, though on the busiest holiday days service can feel brisk. The farm across the way charges adults £6.99; children go free.
