The Courtyard Café

Produced an amazing picnic for us to take to Hampton Court. Lovely fresh meats and pies, home made leeks tarts and a very decent cheese board. Not to forget lovely cakes to finish. Including loan of basket was brilliant. Thanks Martin

December2023 update
First proper day out after a bug wiped me out. A day of dark skies, coupled with the kind of rain that just wants you to be wet. So given the choice of a sausage roll in the car or somewhere warm and comfy...
Chicken wrap was lovely. Really nice meat, still moist; coleslaw I think had a touch of yogurt and mint so the flavours were just right and balanced with the spice of the wrap. Chips tasted fresh, and again just right. Pleased a table was available! And we need to go back to sample the cakes!

Original...
Lovely delicious fresh cooked food, fab coffee. Perfect if you are not in a hurry.
The lamb kofta was an upmarket and very yummy kebab, and the Asian chicken was a fab combination of textures and flavours. Although the coffee machine wasn't working the cafetiere coffee was smoky and delicious enough that it rolled like velvet over the whole of my tongue.

Really pleased to find a British cafe that puts a bit of effort into food presentation!! Simple modern decor, lots of light. Tasty brunch and coffee. Good service. Looking forward to coming back and trying the regular lunch menu.

Lovely food and service. We were served by Kieran and it was genuinely one of the best attitudes and approaches I've seen from a server in a long time. His interactions with our 5yr old as well as us were spot on!

Kicked out of our booked venue, so turned up here to complete our working day. Warm welcome and very accommodating considering there were 8 of us. Thank you 😊

Went for the 1st time today, and we loved it. We didn't know you had to walk through the shop to get to the cafe, just so you know if you haven't been as we had no idea. Once in, we were seated, got in early, and it soon got busy, so it would be good to pre book. We both had breakfast. I had the keto brunch it was amazing. How did they get it to be so tasty, the quality was top notch, and they seem to use local produce, which is excellent. My husband says the coffee was really good, too. We even had the chef bring ours out to us as they were very busy, so it was nice to be able to let him know his food was excellent. All in all we were very pleased with everything and will be back. Also, we will be going back to sample their amazing cakes they had on display. If you have not been, take a chance like we did, and you won't be disappointed. Lots of great choices on menu

What a lovely and friendly place to have a coffee or a meal, you access the courtyard by going through a corridor which takes you past an antique shop then into a small outdoor space with tables and chairs then into the cafe, the staff were very good and the coffee was one of the best coffees we have had, we will definitely go back when next in the area.

Lovely food , great service and would highly recommend a visit if passing through the village ,

Perfect Sunday morning breakfast. The food is tasty and plentiful, the service efficient and friendly and the coffee delicious.

I often visit here with a friend and we always have the delicious avocado with smoked salmon poached eggs and chillies on sourbread toast.
It never fails to impress with the quantity, freshness and balance of flavours. It's good value for money too Whether one eats in or in the pretty courtyard the staff are always charming and welcoming no matter how busy they are. The place is spotlessly clean and the coffee excellent. Good selection of cakes too.
I read a negative review recently on TripAdvisor and can only declare the review to have been written by someone having a very bad day or an idiot. The food is fab, the staff are great, the service prompt and courteous and I shall be returning very soon to enjoy more of the same. Thank you to all at Courtyard Cafe for a 5* experience.

We stumbled across this hidden away gem. The food was 10/10 and the service friendly and very quick. We’d pop back in again 😊

Great food and get customers service what more could you ask for !

Best breakfast I have had in awhile. Really nice coffee and the smoothie was wonderful (i think it was called Pass 'n' Shoot). The staff were also lovely.

The place is pricey, but it's worth it and fitting with the area. Didn't get to see inside but the courtyard was lovely to sit in.

Normal take proper pictures of my food but it looked so good when it came out i took a quick video and dug in!

Fantastic lunch at this lovely cafe - bigger than you think, really family friendly but plenty of people meeting for coffee with no kids! A great menu and great children’s options too, friendly staff, food as good as it sounded. All in all a great little place and well worth the visit!

Great food always. We go here often and never disappointed

I just love this place. Food is always great, staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and are friendly. I have come here with friends, work colleagues and family over that last few years. My favourite is brunch and the coffee is by far the best. Just wish I lived closer to use more often. Keep up the fantastic food and friendly atmosphere team.

Had a lovely brunch hosted at the Courtyard Cafe for a friend's baby shower. The food was delicious and beautifully presented and a lot of effort was made to cater for dietary requirements. The staff made sure we were all well looked after - thankyou!

We had a lovely Brunch for my wifes 60th birthday at the Courtyard Cafe in Hartley Whitney, 10 adults and 4 young children. Laura and her staff made us feel very welcome and ensured we had sufficient space to enjoy ourselves, Laura allocated one of the rooms to us. The food was excellent as was the service. One of our party is Gluten free, this was no problem at all. It was an absolute pleasure with everyone commenting on how nice it was.
We would not hesitate in recommending this Cafe.

Great, friendly service (even while dealing with a very challenging customer) and delicious food. Thank you!

Absolutely blown away.

Arrived even though it took some time to find (recommended by several friends).

Seated quickly and orders taken.
We order a cup of coffee and a tea.
Both came pretty quickly.
Then had some lovely Carrot cake and the Bakewell slice.

My word, the carrot cake was so moist and really delicious.
The Bakewell on the other hand, brought back memories of my childhood with my grandmothers cake.

Absolutely amazing!

Can’t wait to come back and try it out.
Thank you to the chefs who made our day brilliant!
