点评:Let's start with the positives, very good soft play for young kids, animals looked well looked after and grounds were well maintained.
Sadly this was all let down by the attitude of the staff and customer service. Judging by how some of the signs are written, it seems the whole culture of Doniford Farm is more focused on making money rather giving customers a friendly and fair experience. We went into the cafe for breakfast, firstly there are no children's breakfast menus, but an option to create your own on the menu. However when ordering we were told create your own was unavailable, which seemed odd as all the items on create your own were all on the set breakfasts. So we asked as create your own was unavailable, could we swap items, we were told no but we could buy extra items. So they were happy to sell extra items but you can't create your own. So obviously when you add extra items to a small breakfast, this ends up costing more money. Same with the builders breakfast roll, menu states you can choose your items, but actually its a set builders breakfast roll but you can add items at a cost, again another way to fleece customers out of extra money. The quality of the sausage was poor, it reminded me of a cheaper frozen supermarket sausage which isn't what you expect from a farm cafe. I had missed a fruit shoot off my original order, so went to purchase one using a card, I was told minimum card payment was £2, but the fruit shoot was only £1.50, I was told I could either pay a 50p transaction fee (which is actually illegal) or buy another item so the total was more than £2, this was 2 minutes after just spending nearly £30. Finally our order came and a couple of the extra items were missing, the waiter accused me in an unfriendly tone of not ordering them, which wasn't true, he just hadn't put them through on the till correctly. What happened to the customer being right?! I would not return and would avoid.

可惜的是,员工的态度和服务都令人失望。从一些标牌的措辞来看,唐尼福德农场似乎更注重赚钱,而不是为顾客提供友好公平的体验。我们去咖啡馆吃早餐,首先,这里没有儿童早餐菜单,只有“自选早餐”的选项。然而,点餐时却被告知“自选早餐”不可用,这很奇怪,因为“自选早餐”里的所有菜品都在套餐里。我们问既然“自选早餐”不可用,能不能换菜,得到的答复是不行,但可以额外购买。也就是说,他们乐意出售额外菜品,却不允许顾客自选。显然,在原本就不多的早餐上加菜,最终价格自然会更高。早餐卷也是一样,菜单上说可以自选配料,但实际上是套餐,加配料要额外付费,又是另一种坑顾客钱的手段。香肠质量很差,让我想起超市里卖的那种便宜冷冻香肠,这可不是农场咖啡馆该有的水准。我之前点的果汁饮料漏了一杯,就去刷卡买,结果被告知最低消费2英镑,但果汁饮料才1.5英镑。服务员说我可以支付50便士的手续费(这其实是违法的),或者再买点别的东西凑够2英镑,而这距离我刚花了将近30英镑才过了两分钟。最后,我们的餐点终于上来了,结果发现少了几个加点的东西。服务员语气很不友好地指责我没点,这根本不是事实,他只是没在收银机上正确输入。顾客至上的原则哪去了?!我以后绝对不会再来了,以后也尽量避开这家店。
