Fields Farmshop & Restaurant - Colchester

Abby Thomlinson

We love it here. Farm shop is lovely, and we have had drinks a few times. Outside seating area is really nice. We ordered a puppuccino for our dog which he loved! Love seeing all the farm animals it really adds to the visit. Very dog friendly. You can buy animal feed to give to the farm animals which we love doing

A lovely farm shop and cafe. We came for lunch and bought some bits from the shop. There was a wedding faire going on as well, along with the farm animals outside. It’s a great spot for a meal with large farmhouse tables for larger groups and dogs are welcome!

We had a lovely lunch; for a 5* you except the food, service and atmosphere to all be stellar. We had an early lunch with only half the restaurant full, yet part of our order was forgotten, and once we were served no once checked by to see if everything was OK.

The food was great, we’d definitely eat here again. Atmosphere was super. The service was just a little lacking considering it wasn’t fully packed.

First visit and hugely impressed with the set up and vibe of this venue.
The breakfast was delicious and service from the staff on point.
Looking forward to visiting for lunch in the near future, amazing selection within the Farm Shop as well.
Only complaint was the standard of the drive, lots of deep pot holes, otherwise highly recommended.

Looking for somewhere different, we visited Fields for their Santa experience with the kids. We booked online, and in comparison to a lot of places, it was fairly reasonable. Upon arrival, it was busy, and we parked in theboverflow car park - not completely unexpected it was a little muddy in areas, and we made our way straight over to the grotto / santa area. It was a bit of a wait, but they had elves chatting to the kids before they went in! The experience was well thought out, a little hunt for the secret word, write letter to santa, create some reindeer food, eat some smores with some elves, a photo in the sleigh and then a visit to the big man himself.

After the experience, we went for a wonder round the rest of the farmshop and restaurant. Restaurant is quite large, and whilst it was too busy to have anything, we did make a note to pop back at some point and try it properly. We then popped into the shop area, which was perhaps a bit busy, but they had lots of different things to purchase.

Outside, we had a quick look at the animals, and whilst it was too wet to have a play, they did have a little play area.

As mentioned above, we plan to revist when it's a little less busy!

Cannot wait for our next visit which will deffo be in January to see in the new year. What a find, what a place! Great service, lovely shop, thank you thank you!! ❤️

Well presented shop and cafe. We went for lunch (on a Sunday). Only menu items were roast dinners which was a bit more than we wanted but it was really nice! They have animal all around and lovely setting. Was quite pricy for a cafe.

Visted the Fields today, party of 6 . As it was a Sunday only roasts on the menu. They had run out of beef and only one vegetarian option. We had to wait 50 minutes for our dinner and no one came over to take a drinks order.
The Fields were extremely busy with what appeared to be insufficient numbers of staff to cope adequately with the number of customers. Meal good although vegetables sparse .
