Product Variety and Quality
Pros:
"A brilliant farm shop. There is a massive selection of products available."
"If you want excellent fresh produce this is the place to come. Fruit and veg, fresh meat and fish counter, locally grown produce including locally produced wine."
"The farm shop offers a lot of variety. The fruit and vegetables are fresh and full of flavour."
"Fantastic produce and selection."
"The fruit and veg section was amazing, supermarket produce just doesn’t compare, flavour-wise."
"Loads of choice- don't miss the speciality chocolates!"
"First class vegetables locally produced or sourced, and enticingly displayed."
Cons:
"Very overpriced without the significant improvement in quality over the supermarkets that you would expect."
"Often their fruit and veg doesn't taste as fresh as from Sainsburys or Waitrose and is often of limited shelf life."
"Quite small choice of their own grown products."
"However, from previous visits, the stock of dried goods has become somewhat limited."
"The household items section has dwindled more and more to only the odd table and shelf."
"There are a lot of items that do not justify the price tag, regardless of the cost of living crisis."
"The jam on the scone was runny, the lemon drizzle cake had never been near a lemon."

"Staff were very helpful as always never fail to please."
Cons:
"The service was sadly mixed though."
"Service was slow and seemed disjointed."
"Service is sometimes slow when busy."
"When I raised it with staff they did nothing about it at all and didn't seem bothered."
"Staff have been rude and unhelpful on multiple occasions now."
"One of your members of staff took it upon themselves to follow my mixed race wife around the farm shop like she was a thief, clearly because of her skin colour."
"Server was asked if we could have water. Despite server being stood next to water table where a simple swing of her body would have been enough to pass water to us she replied you can help yourself in a curt manner and left."
Cafe and Restaurant Experience
Pros:
"Food in cafe was delicious, gluten free awareness and several dishes to choose from GF."
"The atmosphere is lovely and service at the restaurant was fast and people polite."
"A lovely lunch we had the bowls chicken cod & courgettes very nice."
"Portions are good for the price and the afternoon tea for two is a must!!!"
"The loveliest farm shop in miles. The food in the restaurant is expensive, but delicious."
"Afternoon tea was superb."
"The restaurant is great. The food is amazing. Tastes and looks fantastic."
Cons:
"The mushrooms had been cooked for too long and the water from them had come out and mixed with the totally melted goats cheese to form a kind of liquid soup."
"Even in the cafe our cake tasted stale and we felt under pressure to finish."
"The food in the cafe was very poor."
"Dauphinoise Potatoes boiling on the outside, sauce split, cold in the middle, Three Cheese Ploughman's, cheese straight from the fridge and therefore tasteless."
"Worst breakfast I'd had in ages. Nearly £30 and i get better at the cafe down the road!"
"The only reason I have marked down is because my partner's full English was tepid on arrival, and he couldn't eat it all."
"The breakfast was a very small portion and it was not noted on the menu that there was a massive dollop of cream taking up half the plate."
