We visited the tulip festival today. The shop was full and very busy but beautifully laid out. We bought a chilli scotch egg and a pulled pork in pastry from the farm shop which were delicious and really filling. We then wandered over to the tulip festival which was again really busy but absolutely beautiful. Plenty of photo opportunities. Good choice of food stands and even a bar. We picked a small bunch of tulips at &1 a stem and bought a rhubarb jam from the shop which we can't wait to try. Next time we come we would probably leave until a weekday early on in the day as the ice cream kitchen had a big queue hence we didn't get to try it this time round. Good value, farm shop not cheap but in line with most local produce which you always expect to pay more for. Loved it here and coming back!

The desserts and ice creams were so good. Food is distinct although different pallets will rate this differently. I loved the dish my wife did not like very much. We also went in late and it was busy due to the tulip festival and the specials were sold out.

By far and away the best Farm Shop and Restaurant I have visited. Quality hand made products, Amazing selection of food items on sale, Delightful staff, Massive car park and Tasty food in the restaurant at reasonable prices. If I didn't live over 200 miles away I would be a regular at Farmer Copleys.

Went for the tulip festival, unfortunately went late when the tulips are dying out but still got to see diff kinds of tulips. Was an spectacular space of colour. Food was good at the Moo cafe and picked up a few things and ice cream from the shop next door.
