The Trough Cafe at Orchard View Farm is a welcoming countryside dining spot set within a family-run farm in the Buckinghamshire countryside. Known locally for its relaxed atmosphere and hearty home-cooked food, the cafe forms part of a wider farm complex that includes a farm shop, butchery and campsite, all rooted in a strong commitment to locally sourced produce and seasonal cooking.
The cafe serves breakfast and lunch throughout the week, with everything prepared fresh to order using quality ingredients, much of it sourced directly from the farm or trusted local suppliers. Breakfast is a popular draw, offering generous portions made with farm produce, while lunchtime brings a regularly changing specials board alongside a core menu of comforting favourites. Expect dishes such as smashed burgers, deli-inspired lunches and classic café staples, all designed to be simple yet full of flavour.
A real highlight is the weekly chef’s specials, which change frequently and showcase the creativity of the kitchen team. These dishes often reflect seasonal availability and include a mix of modern British cooking and rustic farmhouse-inspired plates. Vegetarian and vegan options are also available, ensuring there is something suitable for all diners.
Sunday lunch is particularly popular at The Trough Cafe, with roast meats supplied directly from the farm’s own butchery. Guests can choose from traditional roast beef, bacon-wrapped chicken, or vegetarian options such as a wellington-style dish, all served with classic trimmings including roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables and rich gravy. Homemade desserts and cakes are also available, adding a comforting finish to the meal.
