About
Daylesford is an organic farm under 2 miles north-west of Kingham, farming organically since 1977. Most people come for the farm shop, which sells bread from the farm's bakery, cheese from its creamery, salmon from its smokehouse and organic meat from its pastures, alongside deli counters, a juice bar and coffee. It opens from 8am to 6pm Monday to Saturday and from 9am to 5pm on Sundays.
There are several places to eat on the site. The Trough serves breakfast, lunch and an afternoon menu, with menus that change six times a year, and takes bookings; while Daylesford updates its online booking system (November 2026), book through guest services at [email protected]. The Old Spot serves an Italian-leaning lunch of fresh pasta and wood-fired pizza from 11am to 4pm, and the Legbar serves breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea. Daylesford says the farm has held a Michelin Green Star for sustainable cooking since 2021, and all three restaurants open on to courtyards in the warmer months.
Dogs are welcome across the site and have their own menu at the Legbar and the Old Spot, though not in the Trough. The farm also has the Bamford Wellness Spa, a cookery school and workshops, so it fills a morning easily. Without a car, take the train to Kingham and walk the bridleway, or follow the walk from Kingham along the Evenlode, which passes the farm.
