Tasty treats at the Farmgate

The Farmgate Restaurant in the English Market is an award-winning family run dining establishment that has been attracting both tourists and locals alike for years.

The balcony is the ideal place to dine and the seating overlooks the stalls and fountain below. Their exquisite menu is written up daily on the blackboard and hungry visitors can choose from a wide range of soups, handcut sandwiches and attractive cakes. You can also choose the dining room at Farmgate Cafe which offers table service and their speciality dishes are written up on the blackboard daily. For the early risers, they also serve breakfast from 8am in the morning with delicious fresh soda bread, scone and pastries and they also serve porridge, granola and seasonable fruit.
