The Farm Cafe Wokingham in Wokingham

As you see a sign once you're inside that Saturdays are busy, beware for the long wait! Is the wait worth it?.......no.A young lady, managed to get a table inside, many outside too. We chose, we ordered, we wait. Whilst drinking our tea & coffee (which I had to go and ask for) eventually (20 mins)the table next to us became empty and the same young lady , gave them menus and then said "45. Minutes wait?" We had already been waiting 30 mins, with nothing but hunger pangs, after another wait of 20-25 mins, I had enough and was about to cancel and get a refund. Amazingly, as soon as I got up and spoke to the girl about our order , she told me she would check, then it came straight out!!? It wasn't. Exactly a dish that deserved such a long wait or needed it? So many people in the kitchen and outside , how the hell could it take so long? For the price you pay, you expect better, not a sign up on the rafters, half covered by something indescribable, telling you that there might be a wait as Saturday is their busiest day! Wasn't even updated by the waitress, just sat the like numpties.I only give 1 star because the berry tea was nice, everything else is mutton dressed as lamb, a bit of toast and some fried eggs, with hash brown and poached eggs in sauce on toast, takes an hour???? Manager and cook needs to go and get someone who can do a fry up in less time🤷🏻‍♂️Won't go back, i ain't waiting so long and paying so much for an amateur fry up!You should avoid taking anyone too old there, because they will probably die, due to starvation and boredom!

I'm a regular here because of the garden centre really, but always stop by for at least a coffee. The food is good, very fresh as it's cooked to order. It's a really popular place and the outdoor seating is a treat.

Went today for the first time for breakfast, best breakfast around, food, staff and surroundings excellent. Will definitely be back soon.

Free parking, food and environment is very good. I love the toast it is really yummy! You can walk around the shops surrounding as well.

Great Food, Friendly Staff, SLOOOOOOOOWWWW!!! Service. The title of my review aims to provide as positive a review as I can for the overall food and staff, after all it is the food and people working that are the most important and they were both very good. However , I feel the café may be a victim of it's own success. Prior to visiting we received great feedback & recommendations about the cafe's food with a caveat about the length of wait time.Well, unfortunately our expectations were set perfectly. We were sat immediately (outside) and ordered a breakfast sandwich and a full English w two coffees. The coffees were delivered approximately 25 minutes later, the food was delivered 48 minutes following the coffee. Just shy of a whole 1 hour and 15 minutes for eggs and sausage. I joked that they must be cooking over a single Bunson burner.During that time we moved tables in order to sit nearer the heater to stay warm. Our coffee was finished prior to our plates arriving. We did not dare order another cup of coffee for fear it woud not arrive by the time we had finished our meal.Given the feedback we received prior to our visit and our personal experience It is very apparent our observations were not a one off and the kitchen is not designed to manage the demand of custom. Perhaps a review of the flow of diners in vs food served needs attention by the owner / management. Again the food was fresh and the staff were excellent, especially in fielding the questions about wait times from multiple parties. I think we will give it a miss until we hear the service regarding serving times improves.

Really good service we had today. The staff was attentive. Great chicken coronation sandwich!

Free parking, indoor and outdoor seating, hot food, all the cafe classics available. Good value freshly prepared food. Staff are friendly and do table service, after ordering at the till. Wheel chair friendly all on ground floor. Spotlessly clean. My favourite cafe for a Saturday or Sunday brunch, after browsing the garden centre.

One of the best breakfast around in the local area, good choice of food and nice sized portions, on the upper end of the price around but you get what you pay for so would deffo be back

Great food at affordable prices. Loved the smoothies. Nice vegan/vegetarian options.

As soon as you arrive you are made to feel so welcome. Staff are Friendly and very Helpful. We let the Staff know about a food intolerance and they were so supportive in checking ingredients and also offering Great Alternatives. When the food arrived it was incredible! Cooked really well with fresh ingredients. Covid guidelines are strictly adhered to and you can see the Staff cleaning down areas once other guests have left their tables and sanitising their hands regularly. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!
