It's rated the best farm shop cafe in the country - but does it justify the price tags?

When I think back to those long, worrying, boring months of captivity through successive lockdowns, the one thing that kept me going, and perhaps many of you too, was the thought of escaping for a bit of weekly excitement to do... the food shop.

We headed down for a mid-week lunch and the place was already packed with young and old in the café, while throngs more were mooching about the large farm shop which has recently been extended with an extra room filled with gifts, wines and gins as well as the local produce for which it has become known.

Everything is just that little bit fancier than your average café - so it's not just a chicken sandwich, it's a buttermilk chicken strip wrap with siracha mayo ; It's not just a burger, it's a home-reared lamb burger on brioche bun with chilli jam and garlic mayo ; It's not just fish and chips, it's beer-battered haddock with crushed minted peas and truffle parmesan fries . You get the picture.

And it's the attention to detail that really stands out here - even his kids' apple juice that we ordered is delivered in a gorgeous glass bottle jar complete with a bee-themed straw poking out the top. The mains proved themselves to be of restaurant quality, justifying the sorts of price tags that we were paying here. Because I'm well aware these are not cheap prices for a lunch out.
