Amazing!
A great experience and excellent value for money. A warm welcome, history of chilli's and the company itself. Tour of the selling greenhouse with information on some of the plants. Then on to tasting about 20 products, then a variety of raw chilli's. All done in a friendly and relaxed way. Then the afternoon tea which was really good. Amazing cakes, wraps, sandwiches, salad and tortilla chips.

Excellent experience
We had a great afternoon at the Chilli Farm during the afternoon tea and gourmet tasting. There was a short introduction about the history of chilli's and how the business came about. We were guided through different sauces, jams and marinades sold on site and this included tasting. Mild and tasty to mega hot and tasty. Different chilli's were cut up for raw tasting which was an enjoyable and interesting event. Followed by an excellent cream tea. I would highly recommend this experience.

Amazing Experience!
What a great experience. From start to finish Shaun and Jo were the most perfect, knowledgeable and friendly hosts. The tour was fascinating - I don’t believe there is a fact that they don’t know about Chillies! We will definitely be back for one of their TexMex home cooked lunches!

Just brilliant
The staff was very welcoming and helpful. I am going to buy this experience for other people I know and I'll come back for the tour. The person who presented the different types of chillies for the tasting was very knowledgeable and explained very clearly. It was very enjoyable. The hot chocolate was just divine.

Some Like it Hot
A great afternoon out for anyone with a taste for the hotter things in life. A passionate and entertaing introduction to chilli types, taste and heat levels, and the scrumptious sauces, chutneys, jams and marmades that result.

Chili Surprise
The guided tour was brill, learnt a lot about chilis and for the brave, you get to munch them straight off the plant. The tour of the poly-tunnel with all the different chili varieties on offer was fun. If you have ever been to a garden center and say maybe 2-3 different types of chili plant, its nothing compared to the many varieties on show (and on offer). The food testing in the shop was well run and the afternoon tea was a delight - Do it if you can.

Fantastic Day
This was a present from the kids for fathers day. On arrival we were warmly welcomed, the afternoon tea was really tasty and I would definitely recommend the chilli tea ! Shawn was very informative and had us all listening with interest and intent. The tasting session afterwards was great, we all got to try out all the products they sell in their shop, most of which they make themselves, the ones they don't they supply the chillies for. Great experience would highly recommend going.

Hot Stuff
Was bought this experience for a birthday treat. We also invited another couple to make an afternoon for four. Jo and the team were very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about their products and it shines through. I'd advise to have the tea and delicious pastries before the chilli tasting as numb gums don't do the food justice!

Nice experience just a little disorganised, I know I was late but no-one actually told us what to expect, felt we missed out on some of the show but will visit again, menu looked lovely.

Not an afternoon tea with a difference
Interesting place, really knowledgable & friendly business owners. Experience is oversold, a gourmet tasting suggests slightly more than all products on a piece of cracker perhaps a couple of homemade recipes using the products & something to try the syrup with. Afternoon tea a real let down. 2 sandwiches a bit of salad & tortilla chips with a few mini pastries not different at all, averagely standard. More homemade with imagination with a selection of refillable tea & coffee
