Two of us went to Yolk today for brunch and it took over an hour to arrive. Whilst waiting for the food to arrive, another table left (due to a long wait) and another table asked where their food was. It was a shame we weren't given an apology. One meal was delicious and the other was OK, although we did expect the pancakes to be warm. Perhaps a little bit more communication would be nice- just someone to say food was taking a while- they didn't appear to be short staffed but they may well have been in the kitchen.

Their website promises an "AMAZING BRUNCH EXPERIENCE" alas not to be for us. Visited on a Sunday morning at 10.30am Ideal location for travellers up and down the A1(M) however first let down were the coffees costing £3.95 served so cool you had to drink very quickly and then we were left waiting a while for our food and no drink, we certainly weren't ordering more cool coffees at that price so asked for tap water for the rest of the stay. I ordered the full "Yolkshire" breakfast at a staggering £15.95 again served so cool you had to bolt it down. Fried eggs that were overcooked, a disgusting sweetcorn fritter (what on earth!) a dry slice of black pudding which if you were to order as an extra would cost a whopping £3.20. I travel around from time to time and sample many farm café breakfasts as I prefer their ambiance, this was by far the most expensive and worst quality. With today's higher energy and staffing costs, I could understand the prices and we were happy to pay the prices but expected far better for our money. We were asked by a very polite assistant how everything was, we told him politely what was wrong but that was the last we heard, no apology from a manager which would have been courteous. Has great potential but needs to be so much better for the price charged.

Called in today for breakfast. Difficult to review as while the style is good with many unique features such as wooden crates and collanders as lamp shades and rope swings for seating, this does not make up for the the price point, which is high. They will say it is quality ingredients and inflation etc but £16 for a cooked breakfast is too expensive particularly when the ingredients were not noticeably better than any other independent provider. The place appears to be a magnet for young families so dont expect a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. With many restaurants in the area offering two course lunches for £14 per head, almost £40 for two breakfasts and coffee will put me off returning. The young staff were very pleasant.

I live so close to Yolk Farm it would be a delight to go but on every occasion I’ve been, I’ve been disappointed. I’ve never left a review but after yet another visit (in the hope I might get one good experience) I sadly have to say I will never go again. The place was quiet but I was left waiting to be seated then eventually was shown to a seat by a very miserable young man (had similar experience with said man on other occasions) who said it was table service. I waited and waited and after 20 mins I asked if anyone was serving to be told they were short staffed and told someone would come over. Eventually the same young man came to take my order, asked if ‘that was it’ and went. Again I was left, no drink no nothing so after I had been there from 1.50pm to 2.35pm (I was due to go to work at 3) I decided to leave and cancelled my order on the way out! Never to return.

Really poor experience. Arrived at 12pm.. didn’t receive food until 2pm at which point the kids were crying and completely ruined day. If can’t provide good service then should limit number of covers. Really disappointing service , won’t be rushing back

Having driven past so many times we decided to call in for brunch. We arrived about 11.ish, we were greeted , and seated. The table was filthy, you could see the salt that the previous customer had spilt, it was sticky, there’s was what looked like a sticky marmalade ring. The table legs were covered in muddy shoe prints and the floor look liked it had not been swept or mopped for days. We did ask for the table to be cleaned, which it was. How clean is the kitchen I wonder??? As for the food, it was average but rather expensive. Would not go again. Spoken to some of my friends who say you visit once, but only once.

I visited yesterday and wanted to ignore the bad reviews and give Yolk a chance with it being so local, absolutely poor - service and food been lukewarm. It needs a serious look from management, the new barn where the 1500 strong flock were if now a 'Play barn' seems ok if you want an average day out with the kids. I wouldn't recommend the place. Both the GM and the head Chef need to be accountable with the ongoing issues.

I’ve always liked this place but over the last few visits it’s just got worse and worse. From being ignored on arrival, to waiting 20 minutes to order, then another 30mins for drinks to arrive…only to be cold. Had to return my coffee and ask for a new one. Zero efficiency and a lot of waiting around. The service going downhill, and the prices exponentially increasing every visit. Would sadly no longer recommend.
