Cake worth the drive

Honey cake, apple pie and sourdough from the bakehouse on Fernhill Farm, served by the fire in the old barn and boxed to take home.

Baked with what the farm grows

Every cake at Fernhill starts in the fields around the bakehouse: eggs from the orchard hens, cream and butter from our own herd, honey from twelve hives on the hay meadows and Bramley apples from trees older than the farmhouse.

We bake in small batches through the morning, so the counter changes as the day goes on. If you want something in particular, ring ahead and we will put a slice aside.

No mixes, no improvers and nothing we would not bake at home.

What our regulars say

HM
The honey cake is the reason we walk this way every Sunday. It is never quite the same twice and always perfect.

Our wedding cake came from Fernhill and people still talk about it. Ruth listened to everything and then made it better.

Proper pancakes, proper tea and a fire in the barn. The best breakfast in the five valleys, and I have tried them all.
