Visited here as my husband had seen you in instragram and boy you didn't disappoint, we had a browse and lunch whilst there and brought meat, cakes, alcohol and other bits home. The meat we brought is phenomenal the steaks to dies for, the lamb steak so tasty and not fatty, the pork loin I've been told was the best my mums ever had, the chocolate and coffee cakes were lush. The burgers are in competition with the ones we had in America. Everything is just amazing, the only bad thing is we live 2&a half hours away! 😁

Was really looking forward to our visit, drove for an hour. ordered full breakfast £7.95 which I don't mind paying, if it was nice. undercooked bacon with rubbery thick rind, 1 shrivelled up sausage, cold mushrooms and a snotty egg, you don't even get to butter your own toast, nasty margarine put on for you. extra for tea and coffee. I felt like… throwing it back a bit like the girl dropped it on our table for us. Had planned to buy lots of meat and veg etc. all disgustingly overpriced even for farm shop prices. I shall stick to Keelham farm in future. big mistake thinking a change
