A PROPER FLAT WHITE

Smooth coffee, silky milk and a very good reason to sit down for five minutes.

Our flat whites are made with St Martins coffee and served exactly how we like them.

The difficult bit is deciding what treat to have with it.

A quick reminder that we’ll be closed this Saturday and Sunday, 26th & 27th September, while our team carries out a big farm clean.

As part of the closure, we won’t be running riding lessons, experiences or opening the petting farm across the weekend.

We’ll reopen as normal from Thursday 1st October, and we look forward to welcoming you back then.

Thank you for your understanding while our team gets stuck into a big weekend of cleaning, clearing and general farm jobs

The menu is starting to feel a little more autumnal…

As we head towards Halloween, we’re starting to introduce some new seasonal flavours at The Chilli Bean.

Think warming flavours, autumn-inspired drinks and a few Halloween touches along the way.

We’re not quite ready to reveal everything yet but the autumn menu is coming. 🍂🎃

Keep an eye out over the next few weeks for the first reveals.
