Poor Service and Disappointing Experience
Several reviewers have expressed disappointment with their experiences at Hilltop Farm, citing poor service and subpar food. Barbra Depledge gave the farm only 1 star, saying that the service was very poor and that they were told the cafe had no teacakes, scones, or flapjacks. They eventually left without receiving their tea.
Mark T. also had a poor experience, ordering avocado on toast at a quiet period and having to wait 40 minutes for it to arrive. The waitress claimed she couldn't find him, despite him being at the table the entire time.
Tim Dale had a disappointing experience at the pumpkin patch, where they were charged over 18 for a small pumpkin and were waiting 15 minutes to be seated. The drinks and hot food took another 20 minutes to arrive, and the sausage rolls purchased from the deli were inedible due to being extremely salty.
