Branches Cafe & Farmshop wins Gold at the South West in Bloom Awards 2025!

We joined Poltimore In Bloom for the first time this year, and were delighted that the judge recognised the hard work of our brilliant volunteers in making Poltimore House and Grounds such a special destination.

The judge described Branches as the “passion of the community, a fabulous Café, the best Farm Shop I’ve ever been to”.

As well as mentioning our beautiful and sustainable herbaceous plants, his report says, “Branches Café is not the sort of café you would expect to find next to a burnt out house. It is FABULOUS. I shall definitely return for a lunch or cream tea.”
