Canalside Farm, Shop & Cafe

Absolutely a pleasure to visit. You are served top class food and drink by staff that are genuinely pleased to see you in the Cafe.
The Farm Shop stocks local produce of the highest quality as well as home baked breads and pastries. With an excellent Deli counter and Butchers, it makes the Shop well worth a visit. There are seasonal activities through the year with Strawberry picking and Pumpkin picking being very popular, regular Craft and Makers Markets throughout the year make for an interesting weekend visit.

What an amazing day! All the staff were super friendly and the lady offering face painting was lovely. Lots of props throughout the maize maze so great for taking photos. Huge selection of pumpkins and wheelbarrows available, will be going back very soon 😊

Nice farm house. Nice experience for strawberry picking. Not considering the entry fee and amount charged for strawberry, experience its self unique and relaxing. Spacious parking, canal side cafe and shop. Flower plants nursery. Shop having unique collection of items, gift items, vegetables and fruits, bakery items and more. Over all nice experience, my family enjoyed a lot.

Met friends here for a great brunch - good choice inc veggie options. Dogs aren't allowed in main cafe but there is a separate food tent for those eating with dogs.

The Canalside Farm Shop was well worth the visit. Lots of fresh produce and some amazingly tasty fresh baked cakes, buns and breads. They had a special were you could pick your own strawberries for a pound.

What an amazing place, something for everyone. We visited the shop which was fabulous but the market was definitely not to be beaten so many handmade goods and set out so beautifully. I am on the list to have a stall with my handmade dehydrated pet treats www.pawfectbakes.co.uk I cant wait. We also visited the cafe for lunch and the oatcakes were second to none. The organisation and car parking was spot on, so many car park attendants made parking a doddle. Thank you Anna and staff you are doing a great job. Jan at Pawfect Bakes.

Staff were lovely and friendly and the perfectly ripe fruits go on for as far as the eye can see! People will moan about the £1 entry fee, but seriously..in a world with mounting costs I'm more than happy support quality farming and local business! Will be back when the maze is open ❤

We visited Canalside Farm to take part in the pumpkin picking. What a fabulous evening we had. The selection of pumpkins was outstanding, with multiple fields full of them all shapes all sizes and even colours!

We also had food in the cafe which was tasty and great value with lovely hot coffee too just what you needed on a cool autumn evening.

Definitely recommend for all ages to visit the pumpkin picking!

A must visit. A lovely cafe with a wide selection of food and drinks. Visit the shop ( make sure you've got your wallet ) it's amazing. Fresh fruit and veg, great selection of meat from the butchers counter,fresh bread,wine,beers, and a great charcuterie and cheese counter. It's impossible not to buy from the shop with such a great range of produce.

We went to browse for some plants at the garden centre. It's not far from Shugborough Hall. You can do a walk from Shugborough Hall to the Candlside farm, or ride your bike.

There is a map inside the cafe showing where you can walk and how long it takes. From a 20 minutes to 90 minutes, depending on which route you take.

There a narrow boats that move up and down the canal. You can see some interesting boats and people.

People take their dogs for a walk and are allowed to use the outside of the cafe to rest with there dogs. Guide and assistance dogs are allowed inside the cafe.

We had a quick at the plants, but didn't find anything to buy

We had lunch in the cafe, which wasn't busy considering it was a hot day. We both had pastrami, emmental cheese and red onion flatbread, with a salad. The salad was freshly done and wasn't droopy and dry unlike other places that serve a salad. We had green tea, apple juice and crisps. We also had a cake. I had a lemon drizzle cake and a cherry and almond slice.

I have to say I definitely recommend the food here. The portions are substantial. I was going to have a hamburger, but saw it arrive at the next table. I would have struggled to eat it with the chunky chips it came with.

The flatbread was nice and hot and tasted delicious. Both cakes were nice and moist, not dry at all. They had a range of cakes. Had to stop myself from buying a muffin.

Well deserved a 5 ⭐

Very great spot for an evening drive out.

Wanted to pick strawberry bit was all picked 😕 🥲 Farm shop was great lots in stock and fresh produce

My daughter said it was astetically pleasing her senses.

I could sit on the outdoor decking area with a latte all afternoon watching the world go by along the canal. The Belgian Buns are genuinely larger than the plates. You can pick up postcards that have walks printed on that begin from the cafe and help you to walk off the calories you have eaten!!

I visited for lunch in August 2023 on a Wednesday in a party of two. Very busy, but we were able to find a table in a few minutes and food arrived in good time.

I've visited the cafe and shop many times before and come back because the food is nice and the cost good value for money. Today was no exception and we enjoyed what was on offer.

Staff are also friendly and it's interesting to watch the open kitchen - the team is really small but they turn out loads of food in rapid time. It's impressive!

Great farm shop near the canal that sells a good variety of local produce. It's connected to there farm cafe that has amazing breakfasts that sell until 11am.

The cooking team work very well together so well done.

The shop is fairly priced and the sausage rolls are great. All food is fresh ready to take away

Lovely place to come for breakfast and cakes. The shop has delightful home items in and perfect for that unusual present. In summer they offer strawberry and raspberry picking.

Great place to visit and walk round the farm shop is amazing and cafe is great. Fantastic place to go pumpkin picking too!

Booked for afternoon tea to celebrate my birthday. It was amazing. My daughter is gluten free and often gets a raw deal but her afternoon tea was exceptional. We had more than enough food and took loads home as we couldn’t manage to eat it all. Shame we don’t live locally as we would definitely be returning.

Busy canalside cafe with good food. Farm shop is really good nextdoor.

A fantastic little place that I can’t wait to go back to! One of the best fish and chips I have ever had plus lovely little farm shop with an amazing bakery.

Went for birthday treats. What a lovely idea to have huge meringues by the fresh strawberries. The meringues were delicious, and strawberries so fresh and juicy. Well done to the baker. A great array of cakes and bread. The bread and butter was tasty too.
