First time visiting the Cow Shed Café. Very nice and tidy cafe on a working farm and off the beaten track. I sat outside on the picnic benches where I could watch the cows and sheep.

Cafe with tasty food at a working farm. Def recommend breakfast wrap, and scrambled eggs looked good. Great to see those enjoying the horses, the chickens in the car park and the farmer doing his thing. It's a cafe on a working farm, so don't expect refined facilities and sophistication, but rustic character and tasty food, yes! Good to support a local business diversifying.

3 stars for long wait and incorrect order. A pleasant enough cafe - we visited after the toddler playtime Tots and Pots which is on the grounds. The menu looks good and food is a fair price, including a good deal for kids meals. Ordered a chicken wrap with salad and coleslaw for myself, which i saw written down correctly. The wait for the food was quite long, and when it arrived the server brought the wrap with chips (along with others at our table that also ordered salad), she seemed confused then took them back, but still returned with the same plates so we ate them anyway. It would be helpful if kids food was served before any adults on the same orders as my toddler was getting pretty feisty by the time his food arrived! The staff were nice. If I was visiting the farm again I would go to the cafe, but wouldn't go out of my way to go there
