It looks like my previous review has been removed, so here goes another one.I have been a customer of the shop for a couple of months and things were fine to begin with (even though their prices are much higher than in the local supermarkets).However, last week I got a bag of sage, which wilted and went all brown within a day in the fridge, suggesting it could not have been fresh at the point of sale.This week I got a portion off haddock from their freezer, which was 20% off, but still well in date. When I defrosted it for dinner last night, the fish smelt so strongly of ammonia, I had to bin it to avoid food poisoning. For £10 per pack I expect better. I won’t be returning.
It's not a destination, it's a place you drive past and think, let's have a look, while driving around you do not always have time to check all the information and visit a website.The car park was full for what l do not know as most places were closed.The farm shopI understand l couldn't go in because they are not dog friendly sadly, I did get sneak a peak into the pet shop area must be popular as it was out of stock of most things.I just do not understand the rules about dog's some places let them in and others don't!I would recommend George's Farm Shop and Restaurant just down the road.
After reading some of the reviews we decided to give the Sunday Roast a go. Reading the description on the menu and with a price tag of almost £20, we were hoping for a decent meal. We definitely didn’t get that!!!The roast beef was tough and overcooked and the vegetables were absolutely horrible. How can you make a piece of beetroot so tasteless is beyond me. The potatoes, parsnips and carrots were obviously cooked long before and just reheated poorly.Very disappointing and would definitely not visit again.
I called in the farm shop to buy a bottle of Chew Valley gin which they had on the shelf , shocked at the price £55 for 70 CLs , on the chew valley gin website it shows it at £38 and a list of stockists. I checked the price with a member of staff who told me we cannot buy it for that !!! Funny how I managed to find it in another stockist for £38 . Ripoff 😞😞😞😞 Dear Erin re your reply , you have totally missed my point regarding buying from another shop , a small independent shop I bought it from , not an online ! purchase who was happy to sell it at £38 and I hope made a profitI understand shops need to make a profitbut your pricing for this item needs looking at 😮 your mark up is 45% above the recommended price
We love Farrington’s Cafe. Visited many times in past 6 years. Great welcome and service. Menu great and wholesome food with cheery staff, especially Sandra last Saturday. Thank you so much.
Unfortunately after yesterday a disastrous lunch served I asked for beef to be pink and it was served over cooked and chewy. I mentioned this to waitress who previously agreed it was how she liked it but served it overcooked beef….and surly walked awayI didn’t make a scene we just paid & left uneaten beef..We did ask and consider reserving a table for 11for my beloved birthday (80yrs) but I think this is greatly unlikely now..Perhaps a voucher you’d consider for and our hopeful return?RegardsJulie Robinson
My first visit to this fantastic place. I will be returning. There was plenty of parking, a roaring log burner. Lovely open feel and very friendly staff. Food was good too. I met up with a school friend and we spent a very happy four hours catching up with eachother. I couldn't believe how the time had flown. We were not rushed along but were made to feel very welcome. It was a shame to drag ourselves away. We didn't have time to explore the rest of the site but can heartily recommend the cafe.
Santa was great! Very warm and friendly. The reindeer were a lovely touch. My only criticism, is the ticket price was quite high for a visit to see two reindeer and Santa as well as a small gift. It would be great to have some more festive activities for the kids. Perhaps a treasure hunt around the farm (find the elves or something), a colouring /letter to Santa station while waiting to see Santa. Kids were getting impatient. Otherwise, lovely shops and cafe. Nice afternoon out.
This is a cool place to spend with family and children. There’s a small park which kids will love.There is a play area were kids will enjoy to play(paid one)The coffee shop serves lots of itemsThere is a small supermarket market from where we can buy fresh vegetables, meat etc
