We found The Old Dairy if February when on route to Cornwall. Suffice to say this will always be our first stop to have breakfast/lunch from here on in.

Detoured to have breakfast here! It's a working farm livestock being hear All around. The sun was shining so we ate outdoors and all around us tables were filling up. Food was delicious, and the homemade Greek yogurt stunning. Portions a little small so if you're hungry go for the big breakfast. Prices on the top end for breakfasts in farm shops & cafes but as a treat...go on!!

Me and my husband have been here a few times now with and without the kids. It's a lovely 3 mile round trip for us to walk with the bonus of being able to stop for lunch and/or coffee and cake here at the midpoint. The food is exceptional everytime we go. Yesterday we had the mezze and lamb wrap. All the little sauces and accompaniments all taste so incredible and are presented beautifully. We always switch plates half way through so we get to try it all! The staff are always friendly. It's a lovely sun trap in good weather but also there is also plenty of space to shelter/undercover if the heavens open. Great coffee and choice of different drinks too. Highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic food, with friendly helpful staff. It's a rustic venue but cosy and welcoming, with limited inside seating so worth booking ahead. Already looking forward to going back!

What a gem of a place! Excellent coffee (and I am a coffee snob) delicious good and a very welcoming and friendly team. Can only recommend if you are anywhere in the vicinity and it’s definitely worth a little detour :)

Been to the Cafe a few times and had a great time at their Asian food evening. Lovely set menu with a good mix of meat and vege options. Ordered a selection of dishes, and they all tasted unique and fresh, with good quality ingredients. Great and attentive service. Couldn't ask for more. Only slight downside was a personal preference thing, dogs are allowed in the Cafe and there was one that was fairly loud at points during my visit. Never been let down by the dairy Cafe and always a nice surprise with the selection of food and unique tastes they offer.

Made a stop here on the way down to Devon, and so glad we did! The food is amazing. My wife had the lamb wrap, which had the most amazing favours and the wrap bread was great, I had the chicken burger, which again was absolutely delicious. We enjoyed the food so much (and relaxed farm setting) we made sure to return on our way back. A gem of a place, making a delightful alternative and scenery to boring motorway services offerings, only a few minutes off the main road.
