Called in at Clives fruit farm on the outskirts of Upton-upon-Severn town as they have a PYO. The quality of the fruit was excellent and we picked up some other bits from the farm shop, which was well stocked with some unusual items. They also have an onsite butchers and a cafe.

Plenty of parking space and medium sized Motorhomes will be fine.

Same place, same family owners, but now called Strawberry Fields. Bigger and better farm shop than ever and cream teas and cooked breakfasts available too. Motorhomers can stay overnight, free for customers I think. Details on Search for Sites, Camper Contact and the usual motorhome apps.

Strange Euro, yesterday we needed to take a trip to Cornwall, they checked our passports on the way in. We went to Launceston and passed the signs for this Farm Shop, sadly it was very late evening and they would have been closed or we would have stopped. I love a good farm shop.

There is a CL within walking distance too. 

Stopped for a bite to eat at Battlefield 1403 farm shop and cafe which can be found on the A49 on the North East part of Shrewsbury.

Nice farm shop, mainly concentrating on Butchers but has other local produce. The cafe is extremely popular for brunch and lunches as well as a good coffee and cake stop.

The church next door was erected in memory to those that fell in that battle of 1403 between Henry IV and Hotspur Percy so something historical to view as well.

So six years on I was there again yesterday , and my goodness how it has grown.

Car park is vast now, restaurant is hugely expanded - with perhaps 200 tucking in to lunch - (all pretty standard stuff on the menu but well done) with 20 child waitresses scurrying to and fro. And what was just a farm shop selling local produce now has a big butchery and bakery. but also sells soft toys, china ornaments, home decorations, and all sorts of useless stuff as well.

All credit to the family owners who have developed it into an enormous business and been awarded title of Large Farm Shop of the year. If you are coming to Cornwall it’s  better than stopping at a motorway services - and some of you might even like it. But if you want lunch on a Wednesday you had better book . It’s on line and called Strawberry Fields 

Another Farm Shop down here getting cracking good reviews is Cornish Coasts near Bude - but a couple of miles inland.  And though I haven’t tried it some of you might - because as well as farm shop and restaurant they run a campsite with about 50 pitches  - so there’s a shop plus meals on the campsite. And notice the sideways on caravan pitching and a hedge for shelter.
