Dummer Down Café & Grocery is set in the outbuildings of Dummer Down Farm on the outskirts of Basingstoke. The site includes a large café with a kitchen and retail space that stocks locally farmed meat, and deli items such as charcuterie and cheese, breads and patisserie. There is great outside seating, and the opportunity to use the space for private functions. Who We Are At Honesty Group, we’re not just another café or kitchen — we’re a home away from home. Our spaces are built for real people: dog-walkers, families, weekend explorers, cyclists, and regulars who stop in for good food and a warm welcome. We don’t do gimmicks. Just good coffee, good food, and good people. Everything we serve is made with care - from our sourdough loaves and pastries to the food that comes out of our kitchens. We care deeply about where our ingredients come from, and we believe in keeping things simple, honest, and well done.
