For coffee-lovers, creatives and countryside adventurers
We are Open
In the bleak months of Corona 2020, we made a life changing decision to turn our little family farm into an outdoor rural retreat with cafe and visual arts events.
We want to create a space that serves its communities, sourcing locally and working with the people of Stoke-on-Trent and the Staffordshire Moorlands, connecting our guests with culture and nature.
Join us on our journey by keeping an eye on our progress and get involved with our projects and initiatives.
Growing with Staffordshire
What we offer...
Whether you are a caffeine addict, theatre lover, or countryside walker, we provide a relaxing environment for all those looking to escape to the country and indulge in that farm lifestyle.
We will aim to source locally where possible and invest in our community. In time, we aim to grow our own produce on the farm and grow our business alongside the Staffordshire Moorlands and the city of Stoke-on-Trent.
We believe Staffordshire is a place of immense potential, and we want to be a part of it!
Dear Customers,
Please be advised the cafe will be closed from the 21st-24th of October for scheduled construction works. Normal service will be resumed on October 28th. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
Many thanks,
Bolton Gate Team

The Sheep and the Swallows
Whilst on the farm, keep your eyes peeled for our swallow families nesting in the barns.
It's just family business...
