"It’s sort of become tradition for my wife I to treat ourselves to a breakfast out on our last day on holiday after leaving our cottage accommodation. We spent a week in Richmond; have never been to the area before and were pleased, after internet searching, to have found this lovely place. We had to leave our cottage by 10:00am and drove the short distance straight to Middlemoor Farm and, so, arrived quite early on a Saturday morning – we were the first to arrive. It was a lovely sunny day, which just emphasised the lovely surroundings. We were greeted by a lovely lady who asked us if we’d been before, to which we said no, and she explained that it was her first ever morning on breakfasts. She was most friendly and made us feel so-very welcome. There are plenty of tables inside and we chose to sit near a window overlooking a field with sheep grazing – I mean…what an idyllic place to have your breakfast. She and the Cook were so accommodating when we asked if we could both have a ‘full English’ but with veggie sausages instead of meat sausages bacon. I say accommodating because a veggie version was not on their menu and they had to look to see if they had any, which they did. That’s worth noting for those wishing not to eat meat – just ask ‘em and see. The breakfast, side plate of toast butter and pot of tea was just perfect – really tasty and we didn’t leave a thing. There’s a lovely shop attached with many gift items, very clean toilet facilities and in addition to the indoor seating, there’s plenty of outdoor seating too; some of which were covered with a gazebo during our visit. They have card payment facilities. Thank you to the staff of Middlemoor Farm Café for making our traditional last day breakfast out one to remember – we will be back if-staying in the area again."

"We had booked with booking.com . On arrival we were told that we didn't get breakfast included and that it would be £15 a head. We accepted this although thought was pretty steep for breakfast in a pub.The first morning we were given a menu clearly stating that breakfasts were included with all accommodation. I ordered poached eggs with smoked salmon and the other two ordered a full English breakfast which included homemade black pudding. The breakfasts arrived ,one of my poached eggs was runny, the other hard. The English breakfasts had no black pudding on the plates and when queried we were told that the deliveries hadn't arrived. Doesn't homemade imply made on or near the premises and as the owner states he is a butcher by trade I would expect he had made the black pudding. No alternatives were offered and presentation was distinctly lacking , with the baked beans poured over the other items.The next day I risked the full breakfast with black pudding which was lovely. But again the others had badly cooked poached eggs. We were offered no fruit juice, cereal or even toast and marmalade. On leaving we discovered the pub was unmanned , despite poor mobile signal. The owner turned up after 15 minutes. The bill was handed over, charging us for seven breakfasts when we had six, it was adjusted after he asked if one of us had had two breakfast one day? He served and cooked them so should know the answer to that. We were also then overcharged for nine coffee when three coffees and two teas had been ordered. Having had a family B and small hotel in York I advised him that standards were not what I was used to. I spoke to someone who had also visited recently and she stated a member of staff had charged them £15 per head for their similar breakfast where we were charged the menu price. Exceptionally poor menu, inaccurate advise saying breakfast included then charging us and probably the worst breakfast I have eaten in similar accommodation."

"If I could give 10 out of 5 stars, I definitely would! I took my mother to this fantastic restaurant for a birthday surprise for her 81st birthday on September 1st. Both my mother and father used to love coming to Tennants Auktionshaus to shop, so I knew this would be a very special and memorable birthday dinner. And I was not disappointed! We were warmly welcomed by a attentive and knowledgeable restaurant manager upon arrival, and were given the choice of where to sit. The restaurant was elegantly designed and decorated, with all the tables looking very stylish. We chose our dishes from a wonderful and diverse menu, with prices that were incredibly reasonable for such high-quality food. The presentation of the dishes was excellent as well! As an added touch to our meal, the manager surprised my mother with a birthday card signed by all the staff in the restaurant, along with a box of handmade chocolates, which was a lovely and unexpected gesture that my mother truly appreciated. To our delight, while we waited for our main course, we were treated to a tray of two delicious appetizers. The food was beautifully presented and incredibly flavorful. After our meal, we indulged in some desserts from an enticing selection, which were once again excellently presented, with amazing flavors and aromas. Kudos to the chefs for their outstanding work! We ended our meal with coffee and tea, and the manager had yet another lovely surprise for my mother from the chefs - a platter of assorted petit-fours with "Happy Birthday" written in chocolate, complete with a small candle to blow out. I can't thank the staff enough for making my mother's birthday so special and unforgettable with their attentive service, pleasant atmosphere, and delicious and creatively prepared dishes that were of the highest standard. I have no doubt that we will return and will certainly recommend this restaurant to our friends."
