Worth a visit, fireside marshmallow treats and a nice brewed coffee from the cafe.

Lovely cafe, great coffee and cake. Scenic walks and you can see it's a working farm.

Really enjoyed our visit. Very tasty food (we had Welsh rarebit with local bacon, yum 😋). Well stocked and good size farm shop with local (and nearly local) produce. We ended up buying some bacon, sausages and eggs from the farm (absolutely delicious), along with some local cheese and bottles of cider and ale. Fantastic selection and meat and savoury pastries, with open view into the butchery itself - will definitely be back for more!

One of my favourite places to visit in Shropshire. The farm walk is beautiful, with lots of animals to see along the way, and I love stopping at the farm café for a latte to take with me on the walk. The farm shop is such a highlight too, locally made sourdough and cookies, fresh flowers, full-fat milk and so many lovely local and organic products. You can really feel the care that goes into everything at Fordhall and there’s always such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. A real Shropshire gem 🤍

OMG what an Amazing place. Popped in for some meat and walked away with what turned out to be THE best lamb ive ever had. It was butchered and rolled right there and then. I took it to a remote campsite in North West Anglsey in our CamperVan I pan seared on the BBQ and slow roasted at 160 in the Airfryer. Rested for 20 mins and served with roasted potatoes and mint sauce!!! Ill confess I used fingers to eat it it was that soft! See pictures it was incredible.

Just happened upon this place today, and stopped to get some fresh organic meat at the butcher. They packaged it all well (asked if I wanted it vacuum packed for the freezer), supplied ice packs, and we just grilled the lamb chops...holy hell they were amazing. The perfect ratio of meat and fat, and so fresh and delicious. Can't wait to come back to stock up. Very reasonable prices too!

First time visit to the cafe and farm shop. Lovely coffee, asked if they did toasties, wasnt on the menu but did me one anyway, was the most amazing ham and cheese toastie, cheese from Belton farm just up the road in whitchurch and home bred Gloucester Old Spot for the ham.Staff were wonderful. A great community led enterprise that deserves a visit. We will definately be back. Well done!!

Just visited the cafe, food is AMAZING! I had the Welsh rarebit, absolutely beautiful, the cheese is to die for! My Aunty had asparagus and leek soup, she liked it so much that she bought more to take home! Staff are very friendly and helpful, in the café and in the wonderful farm shop. Great quality organic and very tasty food!

Wonderful for children to see the farm animals and a lovely rural walk. Care if walking a dog in places with bullocks perhaps take another route which is easily possible. Lovely cafe, farm shop and picnic areas. No charges even parking.
