March House Farm - Melton

I was greatly disappointed by the service at this restaurant. After being seated, we were completely ignored for 20 minutes before deciding to leave. Although the farm shop had some appealing produce, our negative experience in the restaurant ultimately deterred us from making any purchases there.

Stopped by on our way back from Leicester for coffee and lunch. Our first impressions were not great, as the staff in the shop didn't even bother to give us eye contact or say hello. The customer service was poor, especially considering there was nobody else in the shop. It's not difficult to instruct staff to make an effort and be friendly to customers, is it? However, the cafe was a different story, with attentive and friendly staff. The sandwich and soup we had were okay but a bit pricey for what we got. Overall, the experience was average, but we were hoping for more.

We went to the farm shop. Asked the butcher to debone three chicken thighs he charged £3 more to do that for us. That is very expensive for a job of all of 2 minutes. We put them back on the shelf, boned thighs are £15 a kilo) not being ripped off. We had 4 burgers 2 lamb and to beef, couldn’t tell the difference and they set the bbq alight. We had honey and musurd sausages and couldn’t taste either. The free range eggs where delicious.

Visited with a friend. Although not easy to find initially, a warm welcome in a very clean and exceptionally well furnished large cafe. Good choice from scones/ cakes to breakfasts and main meals. Reasonably priced and served by friendly staff. Good conveniences and deli alongside cafe a bonus. Plenty of free parking and will be returning for sure

I happened across the café restaurant at March House Farm by accident. On my first visit I had coffee and cake but the place is so clean and well lit I had to come back. Today I've sampled the full all day breakfast. Made from their own produce and my goodness it was tasty and VERY filling. The quality of the food was exceptional and lots of it. I had trouble finishing it. I would say that it's the best breakfast that I've had in the area actually THE best and it's very reasonably priced. The staff are very friendly and polite, service is quick and food delivery second to none. This is a place that sets a VERY high standard which, in my experience, will be hard for others to achieve. I was served by Lisa, polite, professional and friendly. I would highly recommend March House Farm to anyone and would say that even if you aren't in the area it's well worth driving to.
