About

Learn all about garlic, browse their shop full of unique, delicious garlicky products, enjoy exceptional food in our award-winning restaurant and take a stroll in our picturesque outdoor spaces.

The Farm Shop and Restaurant are well-loved visitor attractions where people flock to taste our products, learn about garlic and indulge in our fully garlicky menu.

The Garlic Farm Shop
They grow, source and produce the best quality garlic bulbs and specialty garlic products that you can find in the Farm Shop.

Take a walk around their beautiful farmland – an audio tour and maps are available for visitors. Say hello to their Highland and Hereford cattle, goats and chickens. Many guests are lucky enough to spot red squirrels in their woodland or from their restaurant window.

All of their own farmland is Organic, as certified by the Soil Association and we are a certified B Corporation. From composting food waste on site to experimentations in agroforestry, they are committed to using a business as a force for good and working in connection with the land and community.

They have lots of events and special days happening at the farm, such as live music, opera evenings, workshops and exhibitions. Do check their website to see what's on next!

The Garlic Farm Restaurant
The Garlic Farm Restaurant provides a cosy atmosphere as well as beautiful countryside views from the patio across the valley. Enjoy garlic-infused dishes, with locally sourced, Island ingredients used wherever possible. Often The Garlic Farm's very own pasture-raised beef and goat is on offer too. The restaurant serves a range of beautifully unique UK and organic wines, as well as locally sourced beer, ale and spirits – including their very own black garlic beer and vodka.

The restaurant is a great spot for nature watching and it is not uncommon to see a family of red squirrels darting back and forth collecting nuts.

There are indoor and outdoor seating areas, a large grass lawn and children's play park in view of the restaurant.
