Forage farm shop is in a beautiful setting, and as you approach it looks inviting (photo 1). The car park is a large one and has four disabled bays, which are by the attracrtive building and entrance. The door is an automatic one, and it’s all on the level.(photo 2). The courtyard is also very attractive, with a grey brick floor and easy to push across. (photo 3). The grey theme of the flooring continues into the shop, it’s light and has skylights to give natural light (photo 4) and there is plenty of space to move, so that you can see all that’s to offer comfortably. The fruit and veg (photo 5) is very good quality, but a very limited choice of fruit. The Bakery (photo 6) had some very appetising bread and cakes, but we were to early to see the full choice. The butchers department had lots of space to move around again (photo 7) with enough space to be able to see what’s on offer without being on top of it. The butchers counter had a large selection of meats, (photo 8) and it was of high quality and was attractively laid out. Chutneys, jams, spices all laid out nicely on display (photo 9) with an ample selection. The cash desk (photo 10) is just beyond the chutneys etc, and with three tills you get through quickly. (Photo 11) The disabled toilets are at the far end of the stores section, with good wide doors. And (photo 12) shows plenty of room, grab rails, pull cord, and all very clean. Our final thoughts This farm shop is well worth a visit, as it’s got good quality foods, and well laid out, with lots of space for the disabled person to move around comfortably. We would highly recommend a visit.
