Farm Shops

Another excellent farm shop can be found at Sizergh Farm near the club site at Kendall. Everything you want plus watch the cows being milked whilst you sit in the cafe overlooking the milking parlour (lovely phrase that).

Now feeling very hungry!

Very handy for the Kendal CC site is Low Sizergh Barn

Very local food, their own milk and veg, good cafe, (watch the cows beeing milked form cafe window).

 

We've sampled it Goldie, an excellent place to visit, had a very nice lunch there and bought some good cheeses.

Ah Goldie, good to catch you.

Sorry to everyone else for going off topic but Goldie might be interested to note that the Cholomendly Arms, near the entrance to the castle, on the A49 in Cheshire, sells over 200 different GINS. Might be a good place to arrange your next get together with the old school brigade here eh?

Might be off topic but still Food and Drink. 

Thank you!

We went to the Wheatsheaf at Brigsteer last night. 

A wonderful meal, enjoyed by the six of us celebrating making it through  Countryfile filming. They had at least ten Gins and English Wine, so I was well pleased.

Its a small pub and restaurant but well worth seeking out if you're in the Kendal area

Two more farm shops to consider near CC sites are;

1. Church Farm, surprisingly found next to the church in Thurstaston. This is very close to Wirral CP CC site. It's a CS as well, or at least was last time I looked. They tend to sell their own Organic fare and there is a cafe, handy for those who walk out of the CC site onto the Wirral Way, head south until the sign for the Dungeon is seen, take this path until you get to a T junction of paths and turn left for a few hundred yards to Church Farm. Not that far of a walk

2. Chatsworth has its own farm shop, not quite adjacent to the house but a close drive away. Not been for a few years but used to be a good variety of products, a lot of it from the estate itself.

Anyone near Ludlow could call into the farm shop on the A49 about a mile north of Ludlow. Plenty of good produce and a very good cafe/tea room.

There's a small farm shop at Beningbrough NT, near York. You don't need to be a member to accss it. A cafe is attached. The farm shop sells fruit and veg from the estate plus local fare such as cheese (we tried 4 samples from a producer at Thirsk, Mrs.Bell and bought a few). Also bought some venison pate, tomatoes, local bacon and a GF loaf. The farm shop is well sign posted.

The cafe was doing a roaring trade, a lot of it from cyclists who seem to us it as a pit stop.

Anyone at Chapel Lane CAMC Site should visit Beckett Farm Shop, on the main road close to the site.  Like all farm shops, it is expensive,  but worth a visit nevertheless.  Snowdonia Cheese can be bought here!! 😂
