Moorhouse Farm Shops

Thank you to Moorhouse farm shop for helping me to serve up what my husband and brother (the latter a very discerning foodie) both described as the perfect Christmas meal.
Having flown home from holiday on 23 December to an empty fridge I was wondering how I would deliver Christmas lunch for 10. I was able to buy pretty much everything I needed from Moorhouse in a 45 minute shop. I even managed to pick up some last minute presents — pickles, jams, sauces, nougat, fine chocolates & sweets, local ales… perfect stocking fillers for those who enjoy these things. The staff were friendly, helpful and in festive spirits — a welcome change to the last minute jostling and lack of Christmas cheer elsewhere. There was next no wait to pick up my turkey, due to a very organised system for ordering/​collection.
The turkey and trimmings were delicious — the easiest Christmas lunch I have ever prepared and to receive such praise for it, for so little effort, was great.
I buy my meat, fruit and veg here all year round. It is the best farm shop in the area and remarkably economical as you can buy the quantities you need.
For anyone yet to discover this gem — you should try it out.

I have just been to Moorhouse coffe shop I am a regular for coffee and cheese scones which are usually nice sometimes I have lunch, the change of menu and the change in food is very disappointing, we had a hot pork sandwich £5.40 now in a normal size bun no apple sauce no stuffing and no crisps therefore an expensive sandwich to what it was, we also had a burgher with garnish £3.75 again shrunk in size and then had to pay £1 for some coleslaw which used to be included! Poor value now im afraid

I’d give this place 5 stars if it weren’t for the service which can be pretty unfriendly at times. Excellent selection of meat and friendly helpful butchers. I make my own sausages and they are always helful and will cut meat especially for me. The other groceries are good if a bit specialised, the teashop is ok handy from the A1 but the food is nothing special.
