"I'd been recommended this place by a work colleague last Autumn but hadn't taken the opportunity until now;I am so glad I did. On arrival, the whole place is fairly unassuming. Situated at Manor Farm, just outside Weston On the Green, close to the Heyfords, we were greeted, following a short stroll from the car park, with an A board showing lots of items as sold out. It was almost 1.45pm and they stop serving hot foood at 2.30pm. Our initial concerns were abated after being shown to a sharing table [i.e. sitting with other customers] and given the short but varied food menu. The Milk Shed is definitely a brunch venue and the opening hours match that assumption : 10.30am to 3.30pm. It was bustling, busy and has the added attraction of what looked like homemade ice cream to take away. We ordered from the main menu, which features standard breakfast choices, backed up by dishes such as Grilled chorizo and piquillo pepper crostini and a deep filled cheesy tart, alongside a mega salad plate with herb grilled chicken and a yellow lentil dahl. The children's menu includes scrambled eggs, pasta and that old reliable, beans on toast. We opted for the toasted sourdough smoked streaky bacon sarnie and the Milwaukee rye with avo, halloumi, roast tomato, basil mayo and leaves. Both were generously proportioned and flavoursome. Priced at £8 and £14 respectively, I would say that it was a bit more expensive than we are used to but, on reflection, the quality of the food is clearly evident from the first bite. My wife's sarnie was delicious and you could see the steam rising off he just cooked bacon. As for my open sandwich, it was one of the most delicious brunch dishes I have tasted outside of UE Coffee Roasters, just outside Witney. The star of the plate is the basil mayo : rich, bold and with a vinegary sharpness that complemented the halloumi and super sweet tomatoes, roasted to perfection until their unctuousness caressed the taste buds. This mayo oh my they need to sell it in big jars, somehow !! The golden chunks of halloumi mixed with the creamy smashed avocado worked incredibly well together. Most impressive was the rye bread I don't know whether it is bought in or made on site but it retained both a light and chewy aspect, with a subtle complexity of flavour that perfectly offset the mounds of delicious savoury toppings. In addition we ordered two smoother than you could imagine cappucinos and a shared slice of lemon and poppy seed cake. The latter was light, infused with lemon flavour and rounded off with a smooth, moreish buttercream. Another delightful touch is the free tap water refills that come reassuringly cold. After paying, I popped my head into the kitchen and thanked the chef for the fantastic tasting food. We will be back again within the month. I cannot recommend The Milk Shed enough. Go, as soon as you can!"

If you want somewhere to go for a great breakfast then The Milk Shed in Weston on the green is THE place to go. The food is amazing, from soft scrambled egg on sour dough toast with slow roasted tomatoes and bacon to pancakes and proper maple syrup, ther cater for every taste.All their fare is sourced locally and really really good.Sometimes there is a bit of a queue so get in early.Enjoy

We use to visit here on a regular basis when the place first opened and it was mostly run by the owner/blogger.I have many pictures of the delicious meals that were lovingly prepared by the owner.Of late, I have noticed that the same or similar pie, are now much smaller in portion size and not any cheaper, in fact the prices have increased from back then. I did complain to the male manager in charge who couldn't care less. I believe they now use a smaller sized pie pans in diameter.I have before and after pictures for comparative purposes.We no longer visit for this reason. View menu

Found The Milk Shed on google as somewhere to stop on route to Birmingham from the south coast for Breakfast. As I was taking my daughter back to University and Breakfast was needed. Lots of parking available along with clean toilets and a great location for The Milk Shed, less than 5 minutes from the A34/M40 junction when heading north.We both had the scrambled eggs with different topping, the bacon was cook crispy as needed and the smoked salmon with a hint of chives was lovely. Gluten free bread was available, and the tea and coffee came in good sized cups/mugs. Will come again and try something different. Well worth the detour from the main road thank you.

Arrived on a Friday for brunch and the pace was busy. Nice mix of ages and genders. Good food and prompt service. The portions are too large for one person which goes some way to justify the cost I suppose but would like better value for money. A portion of toast and honey included 3 large slices of bread. I saw other people having to offload some of their meal as it was too large for one. When its full or indeed when there are a few people around it can get a bit noisy, and difficult to hear normal conversion. Children are loud and can be banging their toys on the hard wooden tables. There are hard services all around with metal chairs, stone floors wooden tables. Could benefit from acousti...

"I don't know what on earth happened last night when we had dinner here, the reviews looked good, and we're struggling to understand how. We're very easily pleased and takes a lot to prompt a complaint, but we had an absolutely awful experience. My partner ordered the belly pork off the specials board, and it turned up on a side plate, a very few overcooked bits of diced pork thrown in with a few veg. I had the cauliflower with braised lentils, this turned out to be a few mainly burnt cauliflower florets thrown into a plate of sludgy lentils. The chunky chips we ordered came out as skinny fries, not a big deal but just added to the general lack of care. We were both mortified, to the point of embarrassment. We ate it as we were hungry and there was nowhere else to go as we were staying at a local campsite. One of the team took the plates away, and another brought the bill. Neither of them asked us how the meal was, else we'd have said how disappointed we were. So we just left, just as the table next to ours was commenting on the small portion sizes of their food. We should have complained but we were hungry, disappointed, tired and just wanted to leave and simply couldn't face the confrontation in the busy setting. No excuses but that's how it was. We are very relaxed easy going people but this was a truly disappointing meal and experience and we felt robbed of £45 instead of enjoying what we'd hoped would be a lovely Saturday night out and special occasion."
