Food
The food we serve in our café is the same high-quality, artisanal produce that we sell in the Farm Shop. Much of our cafe menu is produced right here in our kitchen, from our seasonal quiches to our soups and pastries.
Outdoor seating
We have plenty of outdoor tables in our grassy glade for all our customers to enjoy safely. Please, no picnics – only food purchased at Rectory Farm is to be consumed on our site.
Pick up a hot coffee, a pastry or a gelato and let your children enjoy exploring our brand new adventure playground.
Play Area
Our new adventure play area opened in spring 2022 and is a big hit with our younger visitors. Our large, sheltered sandpit remains in situ, and the whole grassy area is surrounded by wooden tables for you to enjoy your PYO, shop and cafe purchases from.
Please note that children must be supervised at all times while using the play equipment.
Cakes
Our enticing cake counter is replenished daily with most of the cakes and traybakes on offer freshly baked right here in our kitchen.
Coffee & Tea
We get our freshly roasted coffee beans from Dark Horse Roastery – an independent speciality roastery in Oxfordshire. For the tea drinkers, we serve Two Spoons Tea – another brilliant indie supplier based in Buckinghamshire.
PYO
The Rectory Farm picking season runs from April - October, starting with asparagus and finishing with pumpkins.
Our strawberries ripen up at the start of May and finish into September. Check out our PYO page to see what's in season when, and for lots of recipe ideas.

rectory farm cafe
Join us for coffee and locally baked pastries, a pot of tea and a slice of homemade cake or a cool ice-cream topped with a flake.
We have both indoor seating and outdoor seating (covered and uncovered) and plenty of space for families and groups to gather and catch up over good food and drink.
help us to reduce waste
Please try wherever possible to bring your own containers and carrier bags when you visit our Farm Shop and PYO. We offer a discount on all our PYO fruit and vegetables when you bring your own container - do good and save money!
Lots of small containers for PYO are better than one large one, as soft fruit will easily bruise and squash at the bottom of a deep container.
Use our "bring your own weigh station" to weigh your containers before picking – we can then deduct these from the weight of your fruit when you come to pay at the end.
Remember to bring your own 1 litre bottle for milk or buy a Rectory Farm glass bottle in the shop.
