We stopped by here after seeing the windmill on the TV last year. The small cafe was very busy but we managed to get a table. It appeared that there was a shortage of staff as someone serving was not familiar with all aspects of the service. However, we didn’t wait too long and had a cream tea which was excellent. We also visited the bakery opposite which had a limited choice of cakes available. We would probably visit again if in the area but it is somewhat out of the way to find.

What a fantastic find. It was an absolute gem. We did the 'Make & Bake' and whilst our Bircham Buns were cooking we climbed the Windmill and walked the garden. After a lovely coffee in the cafe we collected our buns, plus a lot of other delicious breads, cakes & savories. It was sooooooooo busy with local shoppers, visitors and passersby. Had such a great time and made memories. 😊

Superb day out. We thought it would just be a quick trip, but no, the children enjoyed it very much. They made bread and much more. The bakery is scummy and great coffee in the café. Everywhere was spotless and so clean. Thank you, we will certainly pop to you again.

We came just expecting to stay an hour or so but ended up spending several hours there was so much to enjoy and plenty for the children to do (age 4 and twins 11 months). We came on a weekday in term time so it wasn't overly busy. We visited the mill and some of us climbed to the top, some of us did the make and bake which was great for our 4 year old (and the baked rolls in different shapes turned out great and tasted lovely. We stayed for lunch and there were plenty of options for all ages. The food was quick and reasonably priced, and all very well done. The pasties were absolutely fantastic, the best we've had for a long time!). We ordered a variety of cakes/desserts to share and all were delicious no complaints at all. Staff were all really friendly and helpful. There was sandpit, swings, slide, playhouse and safe contained outdoor area for children to run around and play safely. Plenty of picnic benches and tables chairs to eat outdoor. Also a few animals for the children to see. Toilet facilities all clean and accessible too. Overall a fantastic family day out at somewhere authentic that isn't overpriced. Would come again if we are back in the area.

Lovely windmill and owners/staff. We just came for tea and cake which was delicious, looked round a nice shop and sadly being late in the day the bakery was sold out but that’s probably a testament to the products. A great stop on our exploration of the area and thoroughly enjoyed tea outside in the sun under the windmill!

I have brought my family for a day trip and my 3 year old and 14 year loved it. The staff are amazing, prices very reasonable, the bread making experience was fun, the history and going up the mill was really interesting and they have really made an effort explaining how it all worked. The views are great and you can walk out on the outside. Even my 3 year old wanted to do that. We had chosen a rainy day but if it was dry they have a sand pit and slide etc to enjoy. Getting a 14 year off his gadgets and experience he even said that it was fun. The food is great with fresh bread, buns scones, cupcakes to buy. Nest time we are in this area we will definitely return .

We stayed a night here, it was quiet and so peaceful. The next morning we had breakfast at the on site restaurant which was lovely. The staff are friendly and the bread well let’s just say hubby went on for a loaf and came out with half the bakery. We didn’t do the windmill part simply because we had a dog with us. He was really happy as there was a tin of doggy treats on the table. I think the place is a little gem. We will definitely go back. The only slight negative for us at 42 pounds for one night seems a little steep. A weeks stay would cost as much as a self catering cottage. I’d go back just for the bakers!!
