Quick info
About The Coo Shed
At South Corton Farm, The Coo Shed is a cafe and tea room serving breakfast through the day, with table service bringing food out from the kitchen. The menu runs to 42 dishes, including Cheese & Haggis, Tuna Melt, and Macaroni Cheese. Outside the cafe, a 24/7 vending area dispenses fresh milk from the farm's own cows into a reusable glass bottle, alongside cakes and other vended items, and takes cash or card at any hour. The entrance is step-free for visitors with mobility needs, and high chairs are set out for families with young children. Outdoor picnic tables welcome dogs, and food can be taken away rather than eaten on site. The Coo Shed takes walk-ins rather than bookings and opens Tuesday to Sunday, closed Mondays, daytime only. A gift shop and a garden centre with potting sheds sit on the same grounds.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the vending machines in the sheds, where milk from the farm's cows is dispensed in a reusable bottle and flavoured with a chosen syrup, with milkshakes, ice cream and cakes also on offer. One reviewer comes back twice a week for them, and a grandmother describes her three granddaughters making up their own bottles of milkshake. Close behind are the cakes and tray bakes, including brownies, a Jamie Dodger slice and a jam and coconut sponge with warm custard. Diners also praise generous portions across a beef burger, a haggis and cheese baked potato, a sausage morning roll and eggs royale, along with friendly staff. The recurring caveats are price and crowding. One diner was taken aback by a bill for two soups, a small main and two coffees, and another notes the cafe is constantly busy and can run slow. One visitor who only used the machines found the shed lacking in atmosphere and expected a farm shop. One reviewer was given the wrong bill, which staff corrected quickly.

“We had a great time at the coo shed. We had brunch in the cafe which was good and went into the gift shop. We also had a walk round the potting sheds to see the plants. the only disappointment was we never saw any cows in the field.I took my 3 granddaughters .they really enjoyed the experience of making up their own bottles of milkshakes and ice-cream..would definitely be back”

“My Family and I went to the Coo shed for lunch and we got a beef burger(Nice, thick and juicy)which was hard to finish, Morning roll (Sausage, scrambled egg and bacon) lovely fluffy eggs, chicken burger (which was dressed) “yummy”, baked potato (with cheese and haggis) tasty and filling. We also went for deserts and we got brownies, Jamie Dodger slice, jam and coconut sponge with (warm) custard. We also tried their milkshake straight from the cows this morning which was nice and sweet! Keep it up the Coo shed! Toilets nice and clean. Mens are called bulls and Womens are called Cows. Everything is really sticking to the theme!”

“Excellent choice of food and drinks at reasonable prices. Great selection of cakes too.”

“Loved our visit to the Coo Shed following a day at the Robert Burn's birthplace museum. The food was absolutely delicious - portion sizes were something else! Started to feel as if I was part of a food challenge at one point! Staff were lovely, customer service 5/5. We enjoyed making up a milkshake to take away with us from the outside vending machine We'll definitely be back”
