Merkins Farm Cafe

Have heard about the magical powers of this place, but never before ventured this far. To be fair, if you didn't know what it was you would probably drive past it without realising - which is possibly part of its hidden gem charm. As you drive in, you have a beautiful view over the Wiltshire countryside - and even on a fairly chilly March day it was just glorious to behold. The cafe itself is very easy to access, nice disabled parking - thank you. There are tables and sheds outside for al fresco but we decided to dine indoors. Looks very inviting as you walk in and all the staff looked genuinely happy - which is nice - and we were seated within a couple of minutes. Good choices for all tastes, including vegan, veggie and gluten free options. Decided to go for the Veggie Breakfast. The Husband had the hash browns. Both meals came out quickly, and both were delicious. If I had one niggle, my beans were cold - but I eat in a funny order so it was more my fault than the cafe's. Also had a glorious hot chocolate - with vegetarian marshmallows (thank you), while him indoors had a pot of tea. Overall, great location, fantastic staff, very good food. If you're in the area, it's worth a look... but don't tell anyone else... They also do lovely cakes, but I wasn't allowed to sample one... Maybe next time!😀

First time for me and a great result, potatoe hash amazing, it's Gluten Free too! Taste anazing portion size really good, and the staff were amazing too, a huge thank you!
