Refreshments
The Hamptonne Country Café has a charming rustic farmhouse ambience, with both indoor and outdoor seating areas, providing the perfect setting for a locally produced cake or light lunch. We have carefully sourced the best local suppliers to provide delicious cakes and savoury light bites, which accompany our freshly prepared sandwiches, salad boxes and daily specials.
10% off for Jersey Heritage Members (please show your Fob or Patron/Benefactor card when making your purchase).
Following a number of recent requests from local residents and passing walkers and cycle groups, we are going to trial café-only entry at Hamptonne Country Life Museum. So, if you are passing by and fancy some refreshments, why not pop in and enjoy our country café without paying an entrance fee.
Step back in time to rural Jersey at Hamptonne Country Life Museum, a traditional 15th-century house and farm. The main buildings are named after past owners – the Langlois, Hamptonne and Syvret families – who lived at Hamptonne between the 15th and 19th centuries. You can explore the different farmhouses and meet characters from the past who will tell you about Jersey life through the centuries. Explore our exhibition Wild Islands: Through The Lens, which celebrates Channel Islands biodiversity through the work of many talented local photographers
The story of Jersey’s cider-making history is told in the cider barn, or ‘pressoir’, and in the cider apple orchard where you’ll learn about the different apple varieties that make Jersey cider the best of its kind. Take a peaceful walk around the farm and stop for a picnic. Feed our resident chickens (food available to purchase) – and there is a children’s play area on the grounds too.
