The Old Dairy is a well-loved café and cake shop nestled on Westerleigh Road in Pucklechurch, offering a relaxed spot to enjoy hearty homemade fare alongside quality coffee. It’s the kind of place that draws a steady local crowd—families dropping in for a mid-morning snack, dog owners pausing for a break during walks, and those seeking a casual afternoon retreat over a generous slice of cake or a warming cappuccino.

The vibe here is unpretentious and inviting, with friendly staff who seem genuinely engaged in making guests comfortable. You’ll find ample options whether you want a traditional scone with your tea, a fresh croissant, or a robust cappuccino that locals swear by. The café also caters thoughtfully to a variety of dietary needs, including vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free dishes, making it accommodating for diverse tastes without feeling like an afterthought.

Visits around mid-morning or early afternoon tend to be busiest, especially on weekends when the café hums with the kind of easy chatter typical of a community spot. Afternoon tea is a standout here—not just for the quality but the generous portions and the variety of both sweet and savory items. Folks appreciate that leftovers can be taken home, adding a practical touch to a usually indulgent experience.

Aside from the food and drink, The Old Dairy serves as a local social hub. Whether you’re meeting friends for a slow coffee, grabbing a quick bite during a busy day, or treating yourself to a comforting pastry after a stroll around Pucklechurch, the atmosphere stays friendly and welcoming. It’s also noticeably dog-friendly, which makes it a favorite among pet owners in the area.

Absolutely gorgeous! Best service and food ever, everyone is so friendly and welcoming, the food is incredible, fresh and tasty. So much to choose from Vegan, Gluten-free & Dairy free options, they made me this gorgeous jacket served with oven roasted tomato and mushrooms, was so delicious and I will be back again. They also offer plant based milks too! Highly recommend to all, it’s also dog friendly thank you so much xxx

Had afternoon tea here today. Incredible! Food was fantastic and generous! A mixture of sandwiches, quiche, sausage rolls, crisps, and a variety of cakes left me feeling extremely full! Many of the guests I was with weren't able to eat everything but tupperware was provided to bring back the left overs. The staff were very friendly and the service was great. Look forward to returning here soon
