Huffkins Burford

Set in the most beautiful historic building. Initially when we walked into Huffkins, the cafe only had 2 people in it however we could not find any staff. We returned 10 minutes later & staff were present. There is half table service- you select your meal, pay for it at the counter & then it is brought to the table. We chose the Cotswold cream tea & the savoury cream tea. It was great to see they were using local produce. The clotted Cornwall cream is heavenly. The savoury cream tea was a warm cheese scone with farm butter & the most delicious house tomato chutney. This tea house offer vegan, gluten free & children's menus. Dog friendly. Outdoor seating. Bakery next door.

Huffkins staff were very good to us. We booked a family reunion of 12 people for lunch at Burford on Good Friday 2025. We had to ring Huffkins at the last moment on that morning, as one little girl in our party was poorly and she and her parents couldn't come for the booking time. The Huffkins staff were kind about that, and appreciated that we had contacted them as soon as we could. Then the other nine of us were just getting ready when one of us had an accident with a low beam in the house we had hired, and his brother had to take him to hospital. So we turned up at the cafe as a party of 7. Again, the staff took this in their stride, and acted on my suggestion that a table be taken away from our group, so it could be used by other customers. The food was delicious, and suited every one of us - adults, children, and those with vegan and gluten-free diets. It was delivered quickly to the table, which pleased the hungry children. The children and their Mum left after this, and the two people who had gone to hospital were thankfully able to join us, and had good meals too. We enjoyed the crispy chicken sandwich particularly, and went on to have delicious cakes - and our gluten-free person was delighted to be able to have a cream tea that she could eat safely. As it was holiday time the cafe was extremely busy, but the staff were very pleasant, helpful and efficient, and we had a very enjoyable lunch. I would highly recommend Burford Huffkins.
