Spencers - Braintree

The coffee and cake at this cafe are truly delicious. The farm shop also offers a variety of fresh and frozen food options that are top-notch.

Spencer's is essentially a fruit farm but sells a range of other products. There are lots of lovely fresh vegetable, pickles, jams and marmalade's. At the moment there are some great Christmas foods and gifts for sale. We had a really good lunch in the cafe and were very pleased with our visit.

After eating at The Victory we went up to Spencers Farm Shop to look at shop and have a coffee. Shop was excellent. Able to get Cornish Yarg Cheese at a good price plus lots of other treats. Very well stocked. We all bought lots of things. Unfortunately Coffee was very bitter and tasted awful. We told young girl at counter and she did not respond. We asked for some hot water to put in coffee it made it a bit better but still very bitter. Never tasted coffee like it. There was only one word for it disgusting. Shame because shop was really good and would go back again and perhaps have a cold bottled drink. Staff in Restaurant need training

I had lunch at this restaurant last Sunday and the food was very fresh and delicious. I even took some cake home because the baguette was so filling. It's a lovely place to sit and enjoy a meal, with animals in the backyard and a pony in the field next to the window in the café. The shop at this restaurant is also excellent, with a lot of Christmas items available. There is plenty of parking and the staff is very friendly.

Lovely cafe. We had a very reasonably priced bacon sandwich and coffee. Relaxing atmosphere and very polite staff. There is plenty to look at in the shop. Some items a little expensive but we found some lovely jams and preserves. Would visit again.
