Butcher, farmshop
Broom House Farm is a certified organic farm at Witton Gilbert near Durham selling its own grass fed beef, lamb, mutton and rare breed pork from an award winning farm shop and cafe.
Broom House Farm is an organic farm in the Browney Valley at Witton Gilbert, overlooking Durham City.
The family breed and rear their own pure Aberdeen Angus beef, lamb, mutton and rare breed British Saddleback pork, with the beef and lamb entirely grass fed, and the farm has been registered organic with Organic Farmers and Growers since 2005. The beef is dry aged for 21 days or more, and the shop was crowned Champion of the UK for Best Butcher in the 2026 Countryside Alliance Awards.
The farm shop opens Tuesday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm, selling the farm's own meat along with organic milk and butter, cheese, vegetables, beers and honey. There is a coffee shop on site using meat from the farm, and the family attend Sedgefield farmers market on the first Sunday of each month.

<div>Quick tip - ask your local butchers for any spare bones they have! Can’t wait to make a bone broth with these, and only cost me 76p! </div>

Wow. What a place! Food is so lovely. Woodland is so well thought out fo4 all ages. Had an amazing time.
Lovely farm shop with super friendly and helpful staff. Dog friendly as is the cafe very enjoyable visit would thoroughly recommend. Didn't try the woodland adventure but from a distance it looked really good. Clean tidy and well kept, clear signage and inall woth a visit.
Arrived Saturday lunchtime as a halfway stop on the way to Bamburgh. Pros - nice farm shop, lots of different types of local produce Cons - cafe food was a bit meh tbh, Aberdeen Angus beef sandwiches, although the coffees were nice - toilet blocks were rustic at best, no hand soap - not something they can control, but some of the clientele were very much at the rough end of the spectrum.

First time there & we had the sausage sandwich & the burger that was cooked on the bbq. Tea & coffee as well. The quality & taste was excellent. Bought some items in the farm shop. Saw several farm animals including the two day old saddleback piglets. Will be back very shortly, in fact next week. Lots of things here for children to do & see farm animals up close. A five star place to visit.
Fantastic meat and other produce.
the meat products are so tasty no shit in the meat the sausages are yum to die fir try the steak lamp pork yum yum all the meat is from the farm organic yum honest.the best in the north east plus outdoor adventures for the kids set in beautiful countryside. A nice restaurant the food is yum top notch place to go to.
There is so much to do here for children of all ages, and you can stay as long as you like. It is also educational as there are lots of posters identifying different creatures that live in the forest. We took a 7 and 4 year old and they had the best time. Each child is given an activity sheet and if they manage to find all the clues, they are given a pack of sweets! There is an ice cream hut and a wonderful cafe serving anything from freshly barbecue burgers and sausages to the best homemade scones I have ever had! There is also a farm shop with lots of goodies including fresh eggs and their own meat selection. We spent just over three hours there with the children ending their day running along hay stacks. We will definitely be back.
Always a pleasure! Great food, great service.
Lovely farm shop, very tempting, the, produce looks great, I've only bought burgers from the butchers and my son really enjoyed them. The area is really lovely, set on a farm, lots of adventure for families and lovely walks. The tea room is excellent, very popular, consistently good food and nice, friendly staff.
This shop had some nice things and would of liked to purchase more but unfortunately rather expensive 😕. Loved looking at the new piggy families so cute 😍 ducks, chickens 🐔 and goats 🐐 these are all free to look at. If you go to the adventure park you need to get tickets 🎟 this was a great bargain and day out fun for all. Food was very nice in the cafe and it was extremely busy. There is a barbecue area too 😋. Great day 👍.
A lovely cafe, with a nice environment and view. The staff are very nice and food lovely. The farm shop is pleasant with fresh produce, although a little expensive as you expect from a farm shop. You can also see the farm pigs and chickens.
Wow!! Really impressed with this café. Good selection of foods, reasonable prices, veggie options, great tea and coffees. Lovely sitting areas inside and out. Cycle parking right by the seating. Appears a happy place well managed. Lot's to do for little ones, with an adventure forest, mini tractors, etc etc. Really enjoyed our food, well cooked and presented. Best café we have come on in a week of exploring the area. Farm shop next door. Wish I could give 6 stars!!Definitely recommend.
