We are now open for the 2013 season. We hope to see all our regular customers and new visitors very soon.
Although it's been a cold start to our season, the sun has been shining so why not venture out along the coastal path for a walk and come and see us for a bowl of home made soup and a cream tea?
We look forward to seeing you all soon.
With the footpaths and beaches open, if you are out walking along the coastline, whether enjoying the sunshine or braving the elements, why not come and visit us? We are still open 7 days a week until the second week of September. (when we will close Mondays)
Come and join us for a refreshing stop and enjoy a chilled Luscombe drink, a crisp salad and some Styles ice-cream, or warm up with some hearty home cooked bubble and squeak served with bacon and eggs followed by a pot of Clipper tea with our freshly baked scones with local clotted cream and jam.
Due to the recent landslide at Burton Bradstock the authorities have closed all coastal paths and beaches between Lyme Regis and West Bexington for safety reviews.
A Geologist is assessing the situation and has discovered 7 major landslips waiting to happen.
We will be some of the first people to be informed of when the slips occur and we will pass this information on as and when we receive any news.
From the 16th July we will be opening on Mondays so we will be here 7 days a week over the Summer Holidays until the beginning of September. 10am-6:30pm- We hope to see you all soon!
We are holding a family celebration at the farm on Saturday 7th July. Unfortunately this means we will be closing the cafe for the day. We will be back to normal the following day. We apologise in advance to anyone planning to visit us on this day and we hope to see you soon!
Why not come and join us over the Jubilee Weekend? As well as serving our main menu and specials we will also be holding a Jubilee BBQ in the garden on Sunday 3rd June.
Starting at mid-day the BBQ will be available through until 5pm at £15 per head. The price includes two choices from the BBQ, salad and a mini cream tea.
So visit us over the long weekend and soak up the views whilst enjoying our own organic meat cooked to perfection on our BBQ.
We are proud to be supporting Breast Cancer Breakthrough, they are an amazing charity who are dedicated to transforming and saving the lives of people affected by breast cancer.
Last week our girls in the cafe donated all their tips to the cause- kickstarting our fundraising with £75.
This week we are donating 50p from every main meal sold and 20p from every sandwich and cream tea to the charity so why not come for lunch? It's for a good cause!
Rather predictably, after our long spell of glorious weather, the forecast had to change in time for Easter! Short, sharp showers kept everyone on the move - one minute sitting in a lovely warm sun and the next, diving for cover.This did nothing however, to dampen the spirits of our visitors who just kept arriving in their droves - thank you all for being such a lovely hardy bunch!
We put up easter decs and handed out chocolate easter eggs to excited children. Our baby twin goats also proved a star attraction!
We are now on Facebook! Help spread the word about our much loved cafe - the first 100 people to 'like us' will be entered in to a prize draw to win a two course lunch in our award winning garden cafe!
The winner will be drawn on 30th April 2012. The prize will entitle the winner to a two course lunch of their choice from our main menu or daily specials and a drink for two people.

We are so happy to be able to welcome you all back to our award winning garden cafe for the 2012 season. We want to thank you all very sincerely for all your very generous support during a very difficult period whilst we battled to secure the future of the cafe. And HOORAH we did it!!
We will be opening for the season on Saturday 10th March. We all look forward to welcoming you back into our garden and look forward to treating you to some delicious new dishes alongside our most popular comfort food that we have become known and loved for.
Nikki and Dean and our lovely dedicated team welcome you to Downhouse Farm. What we offer is a rather unique alfresco dining experience with a friendly relaxed ambience in our garden café. A quiet relaxing campsite with a stunning view and fantastic walking opportunities, and livestock with a terrific lifestyle out grazing our rolling, coastal farm, producing succulent and flavoursome organic meat. We invite you to explore our website, and we hope it will inspire you to come and visit us. We look forward to seeing you soon!
