Located in a beautiful conservation area just a few miles outside the county town of Stafford, where the picturesque Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal converges with the Trent and Mersey waterway, Canalside Farm stands as a beloved local landmark and comprehensive visitor destination. This thriving rural enterprise offers guests an authentic farm-to-table experience through their expansive farm shop featuring locally sourced produce, immersive seasonal "Pick Your Own" fruit and vegetable experiences, family-friendly events throughout the year, and a bustling café crowned with a spectacular canal-side terrace that provides panoramic views of the passing narrowboats and surrounding countryside.
Through a thoughtful selection of pieces from Peppermill Interiors, Canalside Farm has elevated their visitor experience by selecting furniture pieces that harmoniously complement the farm's natural beauty and existing rustic-contemporary aesthetic. The outcome is an inviting, comfortable outdoor space where guests can linger over freshly brewed coffee, hearty farm breakfasts, or indulgent afternoon tea while soaking in the magnificent views and watching the gentle parade of colourful canal boats.
Industrial Style Staples | Milan Star Base Tables
The Milan Square Star Base Tables serve as the perfect foundation for Canalside Farm's busy outdoor dining space. These robust tables feature stylish and striking star bases made from powder-coated aluminium, making them ideal for the constant flow of diners enjoying everything from casual lunches to afternoon teas.
The tables are topped with premium composite polywood, specifically chosen to handle the demands of a bustling farm café environment. These hard-wearing surfaces easily withstand daily use, spills, and varying weather conditions while requiring minimal maintenance. Their weathered grey finish complements the peaceful canal-side setting, while the practical 80cm square design provides comfortable dining space for both larger groups during peak times and intimate couples seeking a peaceful lunch with a view.
Ergonomic Comfort and Vibrant Character | California Garden Chairs
Complementing the tables, the California Garden Chairs in their quartet of carefully curated colours add playful yet sophisticated pops of visual interest against the natural wooden deck and greenery beyond. The sea sage chairs introduce a calming waterside feel, while sunset orange creates warm focal points throughout the space. The meadow green seating blends seamlessly with the surrounding countryside, and strategic placement of charcoal grey chairs grounds the overall aesthetic.
Crafted from commercial-grade polypropylene with integrated UV protection and enhanced water-resistant properties, these ergonomically designed chairs offer exceptional comfort for extended dining experiences. Their lightweight yet sturdy construction makes them ideal for the café’s staff to reconfigure throughout the day as visitor patterns shift from morning coffee gatherings to afternoon tea crowds. Subtly textured seats prevent slipping even in damp conditions, while stackable functionality allows for efficient storage during extreme weather or special events requiring additional terrace space.
The carefully selected furniture collection has transformed Canalside Farm's terrace from a simple outdoor seating area into a destination experience in its own right. The vibrant, contemporary pieces create an inviting atmosphere that encourages visitors to extend their stay; whether savouring locally sourced breakfast ingredients in the fresh morning air, reconnecting with friends over afternoon tea or simply taking a mindful moment to appreciate the surrounding natural beauty.
