Culinarily, the restaurant particularly shines with its carvery—a traditional British roast offering available daily. Here, the meat, including juicy beef, tender turkey, or hearty gammon, is slow-cooked for over 14 hours before being freshly carved in front of the guests. Accompanied by crispy roast potatoes, fluffy Yorkshire puddings, and a selection of seasonal vegetables, the dish becomes a true comfort food. In addition to the carvery, the Poppy Field Farm impresses with classics such as the "British Beef & Ale Pie," a savory pastry dish filled with tender beef and a rich beer sauce, perfectly capturing British pub culture. For a sweet finale, the homemade cakes, such as the "Bumble Berry Cake," a fruity creation baked fresh daily by the so-called “Cake-a-tiers,” are enticing.
