The Mill at Charnock Farm

Met a friend here for coffee. I last visited many years ago and since then it has expanded considerably. Situated within the grounds of Charnock Farm, Leyland this cafe has both indoor and outdoor seating. It overlooks a large pond with free roaming ducks and geese. There are a couple of pens housing various birds and hens. There is also a barn with 3 Shetland ponies and a donkey. They have access to the outdoors too. On site there is a pub, a motel and several glamping pods positioned around a second pond. In addition there are several small independent businesses, ranging from gift shops, wedding accessories, massage and therapy service, to also a place called Valley Mist, focusing on sustainable, reusable/refillable and vegan made products. Charnock Farm itself is a beautifully converted barn, holding events such as celebrations, weddings and wakes. With its own entrance and bar, this place is worthy of a visit and consideration. (Photos attached are of Valley Mist). Vegetarian options: Choices are available on the various menus, as well as flavoured teas etc. Dietary restrictions: Are catered for upon request. Parking: Charnock Farm and it's outlets are built on a large plot of independent land, therefore car parking is free and has more spaces than required. Including disabled parking. Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome at any of the venues. There is a small allotment of animals behind the Mill cafe and an outlet for creative painting and designing gifts, especially with children in mind. Wheelchair accessibility: There are no restrictions as all venues are easily accessible. There are also toilets with access for disabled and/or wheelchair users.

Only went to take a look. Unfortunately most of the shops were closed because its Sunday. I did see a donkey and 2 shetland ponies and some ducks. There is a cafe but I didnt go in

Enjoy going here But it's ashame about the price of prosecco £28:50 (quite a greedy price) The staff are hard working but not appreciated by owners Sometimes there is just 1 person serving cooking and cleaning the tables A vast turnover of staff leave because of this Which is ashame

Wednesday night is quiz night, bar staff and the quiz team are spot on, but play your cards right is impossible
