A truly magical place! - Edit
We visited the Animal Sanctuary with its cozy café and were absolutely delighted. The food was delicious – thoughtfully prepared, and 100% plant-based. You can really feel the love and care put into everything. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming.
Read moreBut what made the visit truly special were the animals! Pigs, chickens, roosters, turkeys, cows, sheep, horses, donkeys, goats, and of course, sweet cats. It’s beautiful to see them all living in peace, safe and cared for.
We left with full hearts (and bellies!) and can’t wait to return. Thank you for all the amazing work you do!

Simple yet effective - Edit
A wonderful set up in a beautiful part of the country. A basic(ish) menu but that’s not a negative at all. Classic cafe stuff in good portion sizes. Chickens wandering around is very new but very welcome! The whole sanctuary is great and I’ll definitely be returning

Always fabulous - Edit
Had the biggest and best breakfast again today in the cafe - every thing is vegan they even have a few outlets including a small vegan store charity shop and vegan clothes shop. It’s a must visit and Billy the founder greats everyone as a beloved friend. Gluten free options in the cafe too .

Worth the trip to Kent! - Edit
We came to Kent especially to visit this place and weren’t disappointed! The atmosphere was lovely, burgers were yummy, and couldn’t leave without grabbing a couple of slices of cake for the road! We also had a little shop in the pantry and gift shop. From the animals, to the staff, to the delicious food, this place is really special and a ‘must visit’

Great community feel & tasty lunch - Edit
This was such a nice afternoon out, they care so much for the animals at the retreat and it's great to see an animal rescue centre that cares for all animals (i.e. is vegan). We had the moving mountains burger and the cauliflower tikka pie at the cafe and it was great! They also have a vegan deli on site and we picked up some delicious artisan cheeses.

Amazing - Edit
Travelled all the way here as a birthday surprise from my partner! What an amazing day knowing all the money you spend there goes to a great cause. Got to meet a load of the animals too on a tour which was amazing! All the staff and volunteers are amazing and knowledgeable and the food was great too! Need to come again just for the scotch ‘eggs’!

Amazing place - Edit
My wife organised the founders tour with Billy for my birthday and we had the best day out. We had a wonderful tour from Billy who was kind, passionate and told some wonderful stories of the sanctuary and the animals who have found their way there. After our tour we enjoyed some bubbles and then had lunch in the cafe which was amazing and had so many great options. This isn’t fine dining, it’s a real farm experience and we loved it, such genuine people. Amazing place for kids. This place has a wonderful and very important message for everyone.
