Although the shop stocks gifts, the main selling point at Charleton is the fruit, vegetables, and preserves that the farm produces, from berries and currants to tree fruit, asparagus and pumpkins. The café is cleverly divided into areas for adults wanting a peaceful light lunch or cake and one more for families with sofas and an inside toy area. This set-up is similar outside with family seating in an enclosed play area. The café uses much of the produce on the farm, incorporated into seasonal salads, chutneys and preserves or in cakes and puddings – some gluten-free.
- Provides: Children's portions, Children's high chairs, Wheelchair access
