CAFE

We are delighted to welcome you back to our little cafe.  We have a wonderful covered external seating area for those rainy or chilly days - it is the north after all!  

Indoor seating is available and we now have a beautiful new coffee bar in our little shop.  This was made by Jonathan using recycled material from around the farm.  It's a lovely spot to enjoy your coffee sitting on a tractor stool looking across the fields.

Our menu  includes:

Sausage or bacon baps (and add mushrooms, onions and/or an egg)

Double pork cheese burgers

(all pork rare breed, raised here and fed with whey from the cheesemaking)

Cheese toasties (cheese, cheese and tomato or cheese and onion)

Cheese platters featuring along with our cheese of course, local chutney, butter and award winning Peters Yard crispbreads.

A range of local cakes including biscoff cheesecake

Cheese or fruit scones

Coffee - cappuccino, latte, americano, flat white. Decaff soya and semi skimmed available

We also offer a wide range of locally brewed real ales, peroni lager, Henry Weston Cider and wine by the glass or bottle (french or local -Tyneside)

PLEASE NOTE:  WE STOP SERVING HOT FOOD AT 4PM 

On Fridays's our evening menu starts from 6pm. 

Between 4-6pm we are delighted to offer you drinks and cakes.

Our evening menu consists of small plates, meat and cheese platters and general lovely nibbly bits designed to be eaten leisurely with friends over a glass of something lovely.

If you would like to book please call Allison on 07887 676397 and leave a message if she's up to her elbows in cheese, or drop us a message via Facebook or email.  We will respond as soon as we can.

PIZZA

We use our outside wood fired oven built by Jonathan but we have also invested in a smaller more conventional pizza oven which we hope will make us weather proof.

Pizzas are available as part of our Friday night offer.  Booking is essential to avoid disappointment as we only light the pizza oven if we have the bookings.

CHEESE PLATTERS

Back by popular demand our cheese platters feature our award winning cheeses, award winning crisp bread, local butter and chutneys, dips, olives and grapes.

Our Cheese Platters cost £20 and our Meat and Cheese Platters (pictured) costs £25. Both serve two people and are available during the day, at our Copley Med Evenings and to takeaway (takeaway by preorder only).

AVAILABLE FROM 17TH SEPTEMBER (we hope!) - GLAMPING!

The first of our two units have arrived.  We still have some hooking up to do with the boiler and the solar panels as well as a little landscaping after all the groundwork and we'll need some time to furnish, create and clear a snag list and so some tweaking, so we anticipate being ready for the first booking from Friday 17th September  but to avoid disappointment booking won't open until the first unit is in full working order, so around September 11th at the earliest.

Booking will be via our website or through Cool Camping who have agreed to have us as part of their family, which we're delighted with. However, you can register your interest by clicking the button below and we'll be sure to send you details as soon as we have them.

These two en-suite off-grid 'ellipse' units sleep two people and will be over the hill at the back of the farm, offering seclusion, beautiful views and access to our 2 acre wood and stream.

Here's how we see it working...

Booking will be on a B&B basis at £360 per 3 night weekend stay, or £360 for a 4 night mid week stay, or £700 for the week.

You'll arrive Monday for a mid week or full week stay, and Friday for a weekend stay.

Check out is by 11:00 on Mondays and Fridays and check in on the same days will be available from 3pm.

What's included:

Breakfast.

Coffee and Tea making facilities.

Bed linen and towels.

As they are solar powered the facilities are limited but there is a recharge point for phones and a small fridge (to chill the wine and beer!).

Access to our 2 acre wood and stream.

Beautiful Views

Dogs are welcome (any damage is chargeable)

ALLISON AND JONATHAN

Our family run business uses cows milk from the family's dairy farm in Teesdale.  

It's been in the family for four generations so we know the milk is good.
