On arrival we provide a complimentary cream tea with homemade preserves, made with fruit from the hedgerows on the farm. Tea, coffee, sugar and milk are also provided. When you have settled in why not fire up the BBQ and crack open a drink? A large grill is provided that fits atop the fire pit, and we supply wood, kindling and firelighters together with proper BBQ tools. If you would like to buy some of Waterhay Farm's own steaks for the BBQ just speak to Andy.
Local Food and Drink
North Wiltshire might not appear to be famous for its local produce, but you are actually in an epicurean hotspot with three neighbouring farms producing some wonderful products that they direct sell to the public. Enjoy 100% Pasture Fed beef from right here on Waterhay Farm. A range of steaks (rump cap, sirloin, cote boeuf, flat iron) always available - however if you want something specific do email ahead - if it is anything beef we can do it. Find out more on our beef specific website.
A 15 minute walk over the fields (signed for easy navigation) gets you to Moos on Thames. Here our neighbours Chris and Jenny Freeth sell organic milk, milkshakes, quality coffee, organic cheese, eggs and rather fine cakes. It is all available from their self-service vending machines 7am-9pm every day except Thursday (card payment only).
​
Just to the south of us is Coad Micro Farm selling delicious salad and micro greens. Collection or delivery is on Thursdays.
Micro greens, steaks and other produce are available to order as an extra when booking.
