Creating a space where everyone feels welcome
At The Farmhouse Kitchen & Pantry in Wheatacre, we believe that good food, beautiful surroundings, and a warm welcome should be accessible to all. As part of our commitment to inclusivity, we’ve taken thoughtful steps to ensure that every guest — regardless of their access needs — can enjoy their visit in comfort.
Whether you’re planning a relaxed lunch with family or stopping by the pantry for local produce, we’ve designed our space and service to be as inclusive and accommodating as possible.
Step-Free Access and Mobility Support
Our café and shop feature step-free access throughout, making it easy for wheelchair users and those with mobility challenges to move around comfortably.
- Wide doorways and clear pathways
- Accessible toilets on site
- On-site parking close to the entrance, with free parking and easy access
- A range of seating options with different heights and support levels
- High chairs available for little ones
We’ve created a layout that offers both practical accessibility and a warm, inviting atmosphere — whether you’re here for a quiet coffee, a long lunch with friends, or a visit with children in tow.
Service That Supports Everyone
Our small, friendly team is trained in accessibility awareness and allergen safety, with a focus on delivering attentive, personalised support.
To support guests with visual impairments, large-print menus are available, and the space benefits from clear signage and good lighting throughout.
We’re also a breastfeeding-friendly venue and always happy to make families feel at ease during their visit.
Understanding that some guests may prefer a calmer setting, we’re happy to recommend quieter times for neurodivergent customers or anyone who would benefit from a more peaceful environment.
Dietary Requirements and Allergy Awareness
We take great care in catering to a variety of dietary needs and preferences. Our seasonal menu includes options that are:
- Gluten-free
- Vegan
- Dairy-free
All allergens are clearly labelled, and our experienced kitchen team is happy to adapt dishes wherever possible. Staff are trained in food safety and allergen protocols to ensure safe dining for everyone.
