Brilliant farm shop, restaurant, coffee shop and now conference venue! The farm shop has a butchers with wonderful meat which you can buy cooked from the hot food counter. The hot pork sandwiches with stuffing and apple sauce are superb. There is also a small fish counter, fresh fruit and vegetables and a wide range of preserves and chutneys. The bakery counter sells bread made and baked on the premises. It is pricey compared to supermarkets but the cakes are delicious. The sandwich counter does a wide range of made to order sandwiches on their own bread. If you work nearby then you can fax your order and then pick it up ready made. They also do made to order salad bowls.
Becketts has expanded in 2008 and now has conference facilities upstairs, a new coffee shop and the Orange Kitchen. Orange Kitchen offers children’s parties with a twist — they make the food and then eat it — and cookery classes.
The restaurant was always busy at lunchtimes but now it’s open seven days a week with carvery on a Sunday. Portions are massive and the food of a high standard. I can recommend the breakfasts.
