Castleton Farm Shop And Cafe

I’d rather you didn’t go so there is a table for me!! What a fabulous gem of a restaurant alongside a lovely farm shop. There are two sections to the restaurant. A conservatory, which is available for use with your 4 legged friends. And then an indoor restaurant. The staff were efficient and friendly. The choice of food was good and prices were fair. We each had a toastie and it came with salad, slaw and crisps! Plenty to eat! BUT……. You need to keep room for dessert!

We visited the Cafe for coffee and cake today, the place was packed which is usually a good sign! We ordered 2 cappuccinos, a banoffee pie and lemon meringue pie.

During our journey to Aberdeen, we decided to stop at this restaurant to charge our car and grab a meal. I highly recommend this place for several reasons. The staff was friendly and helpful, the service was fast, the food arrived promptly and was incredibly tasty. The Cullen Skink soup was fantastic, and the sausages and mash were deemed the best meal my partner had tasted in a while (and we were on holiday, eating out frequently). Additionally, the prices were reasonable for the quality of food we received.

Its been a while since I was here. There is now a big extension out the back. Food is still reasonable but service very poor. The waiting staff are all teenagers and seem a bit clueless. Service was very slow and at one point I was beginning to think that there was only one person in the kitchen. Management need to initiate a proper training program.

We stopped in for coffee and cake and left without either. After being shown to a table we were clearly forgotten, after 7 minutes without any form of acknowledgment we left disappointed.
