More Expensive than supermarket. Very helpful and friendly staff. They have deals on frozen food frequently. Happy to support my local!
Nice little playground for dmall children. Beautiful piglets running around and tormenting mum and their siblings. Good walk down to the river. Bought some neat from the farmshop which cooked well.
Great community run enterprise, cafe serves excellent local organic food with gluten free and vegetarian options.farm trails and walks for all the family.free admission a hidden gem.

We stumbled across this lovely place passing by and we will definitely be ordering our organic products/ meat from here in the future even though we don’t exactly live nearby. We’ve visited many butchers and this one really stands out. We were served by James who was absolutely lovely and extremely knowledgeable and informative all whilst making us feel welcome and answering all our questions with great depth and description so we really had an understanding of what we were purchasing! You can tell the staff really take pride in what they do and the products they sell. The meat was beautiful and very high quality. Can’t wait to order more.
Large selection and affordable prices 👍 They also offer lunch specials.
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.
