Advertised as a local produce farm shop, I was shocked to see the “over priced” eggs were hardly local and had travelled 40 miles from Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire. They had a bottle of Hawkstone Fruit Cider, £5.98, in a top supermarket it’s £3.99- the brewery is 43mies from the farm shop.
I bought oat and bran rolls, in date - on using them I found no bran, but barley grain which were not on the list of ingredients. I can’t eat seeds and had poorly tummy later.
My daughter bought crusty white rolls for the following day, still within use by, she told me all 4 had dried out so much they disintegrated into crumbs when she cut them.
I had looked at a loaf of bread, its first ingredient was Soya Flour. Most of the bread and pastry products looked cheap mass produced but sold with a premium price tag.
We both had a bacon and sausage bap, the sausage was a cheap pink thing and the bacon was salty and tasteless.
We also bought a Pork Pie, tasted like one of those pies with highly processed belly pork , very pink interior and pastry that was ultra smooth. Similar to the very cheap ones supermarkets sell to go as in they match other supermarkets prices with.
Generally the farm shop produce is excessively over priced. the farm shop looks large but is small, the gifts also are over priced along with alcoholic drinks even the sweets were ridiculously over priced.
Parking was difficult very few spaces available for customers to use, signage for the farm shop is poor, there is an unsigned side entrance past the main entrance, turn left and left as you exit the roundabout. Exiting here is slightly quicker than finding a safe space on the dual carriageway exit. Just watch for traffic and use the road markings as per the Highway Code.
I do not recommend Becketts Farm Shop, there are far better farm shops out there.

So called farm shop, more like an overpriced supermarket. There doesn’t seem to be a farm, though they claim to source produce locally. Some reviews mention organic and free range produce, nos sign of that on meat counter. We were Shopping for a barbecue. Corn on the cob was in its husk. Got home and took off husk to find the corn was very dried out inside. Goodness knows how long it’s been on the shelf. Rump steak, a little tough and not very tasty, bbq chicken wings, ok. Small tomatoes overpriced but nice taste. Serving staff very pleasant. Dogs not allowed inside at all. Even though baking hot outside. Very large car park. Unlikely to go back. Tesco produce is fresher.
If I could give a minus rating, I honestly would.While in the area today, I decided to take my wife for a cheeky breakfast. Knowing it was a farm shop we were expecting to pay over the odds but wow…..When we got to the restaurant, we were told we couldn’t have a table as we hadn’t pre booked; no harm done so we went over to the cafe.We ordered 2 hot sandwiches on granary bread which came with a hot drink for £17…..yes you read that correctly, I said £17 English pounds.If that wasn’t enough to put you off, it gets better. We then proceeded to wait for 30 minutes for our food, by which time we had drank our delicious ‘lukewarm’ coffee.They then brought out what I can only describe as the worst sandwich I have ever had the misfortune to be presented with.It was dry, freezing cold and on white bread not granary which was so stale, I wouldn’t have fed ducks with it, and I was at this point out of coffee which was a necessity in order to be able to swallow the food. Add to that, the bacon was one good vet away from resurrectionSeriously, avoid this place for breakfast unless you enjoy paying to be punished.
Main issue is hiring Brittania Parking company, effectively meaning a time limit on seeing a valued friend. Frankly the meals aren't worth the trouble. It's not cheap for the food that's not that great and a hefty parking fine doesn't make me want to visit ever again
Love the coffee shop bright and airy but the service is so slow. One person on to serve and make coffees. I asked for a latte but as person was too busy talking to their friend I was served a cappuccino which at the time I didn’t realise. I then had a spoonful of coffee under the foamed milk it wasn’t worth the £3.75 at all. There are much better places for coffee but with a beautiful place they could do more for customers
What a very disappointing visit to Restaurant today. We waited (4 of us) quite a long time for food to come to us, granted, they were busy so let that go. However, it wasn't really worth waiting for, chips were well overdone and pretty inedible. No one offered us desserts or hot drinks and then it got so cold, assume they switched heating off. Now they have restrictions with parking, doubt we will bother again.
We are frequent visitors to Becketts farm. The shop is lovely. Haven’t been in the restaurant for a while but wasn’t that impressed these last time. Went with my husband last week. We popped into the cafe for a coffee and sandwich. I was horrified by the state of the place . Absolutely filthy, coffee spilt all over the chairs , dirty tables and floors. The place is disgraceful. The place needs to be refurbished, it’s in a sorry state, chairs ripped and damaged. We won’t be going in there again . Who has it go a hygiene certificate?
