Crackenback Farm Restaurant

Crackenback Farm Restaurant offers a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere to complement our stunning surroundings. Our food is French farmhouse cuisine, cooked with love and served generously.

We use fresh, seasonal produce in our cooking. Our carefully selected wine list and fully stocked bar enhance your dining experience. An open fire welcomes you in Winter, and during the warmer months you can enjoy the beautiful surroundings with alfresco dining on the sun-filled terrace. We also offer fresh seafood nights and can cater to groups.

From time to time, we also provide a little entertainment with popular live music events which are always a sell-out.

Crackenback Farm Restaurant makes an ideal venue for a relaxed family meal away from the busy village scene, and is perfect for an intimate wedding, birthday, anniversary or any event.
