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.
