We are delighted to welcome back renowned outdoor specialist (Bsc Hons) and master herbalist Simon Birbeck to Talton in 2021 to bring you his bushcraft and foraging courses at Talton Mill. Simon has over 20 years experience in this field. Formerly a survival school co-ordinator who has worked with the Discovery Channel and The Bear Grylls Survival Academy and Young Survivor, Simon went on to set up UK Wild Adventures – the ‘go to’ company for experiencing the great outdoors!

Learn how to thrive in the natural environment. Simon will give you the skills and knowledge to do so. Learn how to forage for natural foods and medicines on our 28 acre-small holding and around the local countryside meadows, hedgerows and woodlands. Simon will teach you fire craft, tracking, navigation by natural means, water sourcing and filtration, wood whittling, and container construction from natural materials. You will build a fire and brew up some nettle, pine or lemon balm tea on the open fire.

This experience is a holistic way of looking at the environment and how all aspects link together. Take time to reflect on the environment and discover what is out there. Get away from the trappings of modern technology and get back to basics!

Over priced and nothing special. Very strange owner who seems to leave his rubbish and bits and bobs around the grounds. Just looks scruffy and untidy. Decor inside needs a refurbishment .

Where do I begin! This place is fantastic! It has a quintessential rustic charm to it. The food is locally sourced or grown (often from their own farm). The team are always exuberant and welcoming.Highly recommend trying the monstrous and delicious all day breakfast....the big one of course, the bacon is cooked to perfection!

Stopped off to buy some quality meat from the farm's butchers and ended up staying for a fantastic brunch and coffee too. Lovely staff as well. Would recommend if in the area.

Mark... what a great guy! Where else can you buy veg and have it picked fresh from the ground?If you care about food provenance, then Talton Mill is the place for you. Meet the cows, the pigs, the producer and his family. Visit the butchery and then eat the fantastic produce in their coffee shop. What a delight!

I have been visiting talton mill for a few years now. The cafe serves such delicious and fresh produce and the butchers is excellent. Mark the farmer is very enthusiastic about how well reared his animals are. I wouldn't want to buy my Sunday roasting meat from anywhere else.!!

Delightful afternoon tea with real china cups and saucers and a fantastic range of homemade cakes. The children loved the chickens running around. They were quite tame and so were the chickens!

First time visit to the cafe for our usual breakfast outing. There are a few places around offering breakfast and competition is tough. Well I can tell you you will not be disappointed the breakfast was excellent especially the sausages. From the outside it did look bleak but it's a wet January day in spring it would be totally different. Inside was quirky and well set out lovely people serving give it a go you won't be disappointed.
