The Milk Churn Coffee Shop
The home of Sussex Charmer
Following the success of our Charmer on Toast trailers, we have built a coffee shop on the farm in order to show case our products. Fuelled by its signature dish, Charmer on Toast, it was featured in The Guardian’s Top Ten UK places to eat in the countryside.
The Milk Churn has become a popular haunt for all ages, where you can relax in comfortable surroundings, enjoying Charmer on Toast whilst admiring the Charmer cows grazing the pasture next door. A true plough to plate experience!
A Warm welcome awaits you at The Milk Churn
The Milk Churn is located in Rudgwick on the Surrey / Sussex border, on the site of a former brickworks.
Following the success of our Sussex Charmer Cheese on Toast trailers, we opened The Milk Churn in April 2013. The original plan was to showcase our products, namely Sussex Charmer and Twineham Grange cheeses, as well as our South Downs Butter.
The Milk Churn has grown considerably over the years, but we have always remained true to our original plan of delivering first-class service with a smile, in a warm and friendly environment. We offer a simple menu, which features our own products along with quality, local ingredients.
One thing we knew from our cheese-on-toast trailers was that if you offered a limited menu, the items you served had to be top-notch quality. We are very fortunate to have local to us a great number of food producers, many of whom have become our friends after attending Farmers’ Markets with us for many years.
The growth popularity of the Milk Churn has given us a platform to showcase many of these local products in addition to our own. Our menu and shop feature bread from two local artisan bakeries, our local family butchers, as well as more than 20 other local producers. Please click HERE is see who our lovely suppliers are.
