The minted lamb chops NEVER disappoint. Great little shop for local meat, dairy and wine.
Lovely little farm shop. Lovely staff, nice array of veggies and meat. The ice cream and fruit is to die for. Especially seasonal strawberries etc. My only gripe...that a lot of the snacks and some of the processed meat such as bacon and sausages has a lot of additives/fillers/E- numbers/nitrates, etc. I would expect that in cheap supermarket meat but not in a farm shop where prices are so much more expensive. It is all delicious but you'd expect there to be only organic ingredients really, which is a shame and for people with dietary restrictions means less choice.
Great Farm shop with plenty of variety. Butchers within the shop had some lovely cute of meat, as some people have mentioned the butchers prices are expensive however the quality of the meat is well worth paying that little bit extra. Pleasant staff and nice displays of their products.
