Knitsley Farm Shop

Visited both the farm shop and cafe today. The farm shop has a fantastic range of fresh local produce, we bought baked goods and sausages. We went to the cafe, had to wait 20 minutes for a table because it was a busy weekend, however was given a buzzer and we were happy to wait, staff are very polite and helpful. We both had the ham broth and it was delicious, this was then followed by a flapjack from the farm shop, 1 is big enough to share between two, it has got to be one of the nicest flapjacks I’ve ever had in my life, whoever bakes the cakes needs a pay rise. Would highly recommend a visit to Knitsley Farm Shop & Cafe.

We had a gorgeous meal in the cafe today. It far exceeded my expectations and underpriced compared with local pubs for an equivalent meal. The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. I asked about the salad dressing and was immediately told the ingredients (and then given a sample to take away) I'll definitely be giving this a try at home. The farm shop has an impressive range of fresh and local produce. The fruit and veg seemed at first glance to be slightly more expensive than a supermarket but the quality was so much higher! I'm now regretting not buying the enormous raspberries.... we will definitely be back.

First time visiting this venue and on arrival at the farm shop we were massively impressed, such an array of goodies to purchase. The veg looks so fresh and the butchers produce looks impressive also. We had a good chat with the butcher and he was so helpful and knowledgeable. They even make their own corned beef in the Deli which they were also so helpful and gave me a sample to try, it was wonderful and nothing like that tinned stuff we are all used to. The bakery was very impressive also as they start baking at 3am, which you can tell as everything looks so fresh. The fruit and cheese scones were huge and only £1 each. So much to feast your eyes on at this place. Next we had to try the cafe next door and the service was excellent I had the pork bun with chips and could only manage to eat the pork bun and about half a dozen chips. My wife had the cheese and onion quiche and salad and it’s the best quiche I’ve ever tasted. The quiche was so good we went back to the shop and bought one to freeze. The portions in here are very generous and not for the faint hearted. All in all a wonderful experience and we have joined the loyalty card programme and will definitely be back.

Great place to grab a coffee and food while walking along the Lanchester valley railway path. Farm shop contains an excellent butchers, you can buy fresh eggs and meat, bread, bakery items etc well worth a visit. There is a large, free car park available

I am so jealous of anyone who lives within "popping in" distance of this amazing shop and cafe. It is first class with a capital F. I don't have enough characters to describe my joy of seeing what's on offer in their butchery and shop and then tasting the amazing breakfast in the well run cafe. If you have the chance, stop and enjoy. You won't regret it.

Spent some good money there. The cheese selection is amazing. And the butcher's, omg, all the different sausages! Plus, I found the oil and balsamic vinegar.

Visited here for the first time. Sadly didn’t have time to stay and eat but it looked lovely. Seating area outdoors as well as indoors. Dog friendly. Will definitely be back to have lunch.. We actually went for the farm shop which did not disappoint. Lovely choice of local produce and items from other farms/artisans. The staff looked very proud of their produce and rightly so! Bought some Cumberland sausage made on site and some yummy looking burgers! Will be back for sure. Large car park. Slightly tricky to get to as the lane to the farm is only wide enough for 1 vehicle.

My friend came to visit me in Devon and visited your farm shop the day before to bring me some sausages... 10 packs all varied flavours, black pudding, wild boar pate ploughman's pork pie cheese and a Caribbean chicken stir fry ,i was gifted with. Everything ive tried has been an absolute joy to eat the balance of ingredients is superb in everything and the quality of the sausages and variety of flavours was a treat to eat. One very happy chappie in Devon.

First visited the farm shop in early 2009 after reading a leaflet a colleague had brought into work. Since then I've seen the business go from strength to strength. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The food is excellent, locally sourced and very reasonably priced. The cafe is a wonderful place to spend some time, the menu is varied and the portions area very generous. I'd highly recommend it to anyone.

The food is a little more expensive than usual, but the quality of the produce is very high - so treat yourself! Recommended.

Everything is great. Friendly staff, knowledgeable and skillful butchers, and a lovely cafe where even the youngest waitress seems genuinely interested in you and your choices. Sunday lunch is the best I have tasted. The chef sometimes appears and talks about how she decided to prepare a dish. One tiny niggle - while cardboard boxes for pieces of gateau may seem OK, they don't hold the contents very well. Less stylish but more practical would be a wedge-shaped plastic box.
