Really good selection of fresh produce, frozen and prepackaged grocery supplies; butchery and cheese counter were well stocked. Even have raw pet food and high quality dog treats. The coffee (with a saucer) was super and the sandwiches and quiche tasty.

I have not been to Smith's Farm Shop for many years. But the difference is amazing. Much larger; and the cheese counter in particular offers some wonderful choices. We bought some excellent bread and some birthday cards! The coffee shop also looks worth a visit the next time we go. Plenty of parking space as well.

This is a great shop, wonderfully varied choice and great quality. Some things can be a bit pricy but you can be sure the quality will be good so worth paying out. The only reservation during the latter stages of the lockdown is the amount of people in the shop at any one time is high and some people still won't wear masks and can crowd other shoppers but overall fantastic shop. Please go and check for yourselves.
