The sausages and burgers they make their are great and the meat comes from the farm, they also make a great rang of pies and pastys and cakes you can buy via the slice or the whole cake. The coleslaw from the butchers is great and goes really well with the ham cooked on the bone that they do. They do a range of puddings in the fridge and lovely frozen fruit great for pies in the freezer. There buns are fab, the best things are the corned beef slices the country barn pastys and the mars bar slices the lemon drizzle cake is also worth a try The coffee shop is great with plenty of seats there is another level off the level where you get served the food is not too expensive and if you get corned beef slices they come with crisps and salads and sometimes a little chutney The hot chocolate from here is fab It is not far from here to druridge bay and a nice little walk to the ruined chapel

Being a personal trainer and very concerned about the quality of food I eat on a daily basis, I…read moresourced out a farm shop where I can get pesticide free fruit and veg, hormone treatment free meat, and organic eggs. After discovering Blagdons, it is now the only place I go for my meat and every friday they do a fantastic offer of two steaks for £5 (including fillet!) These steaks are seriously good and you can really tell the difference between these and the ones you'll get at supermarket. If not to go there for the steak, its worth checking out for the great range of sauces, spreads and cheeses they do. If you like good quality food then give this place a go!

This weekly quayside market gives me yet another excuse to take in the breathtaking views along…read moreNewcastle quayside whilst weaving my way amongst the many stalls lining the river. Arts and crafts, unique gifts, jewellery and iconic photos showcasing Newcastle are all on offer as well as a huge variety of food and drink to keep you fuelled along the way! Being Geordie proud and ignoring my Mancunian roots I love perusing the merchandise and photos of local landmarks or scenery.....I even admit to buying a new phone case with the Tyne Bridge on yesterday! I also indulged in some delicious Indian street food after a lot of umming and ahhing over whether to have a Geordie banger or lebanese chicken or head straight for the sweet selection of waffles or cakes. The pathway along the quayside is rather narrow once the market stalls are set up so even though the road is closed off it is still quite congested so expect to get caught up in people traffic. Whether you are just window shopping, on the hunt for a bargain or unique gift or simply there to taste the food....there's something for everyone and it's worth a visit.

I love going to markets at the weekend, and this one was a breath of fresh air during our visit to…read moreNewcastle. The selection of foods on offer is top class, everything from German Bratwurst to pulled pork to doughnuts. The quality of the products on offer is evidenced by the swathes of people that descend on the quayside every Sunday to take part in the market. Like most people in Newcastle, the people at the market are very friendly. When buying some scented candles, we were sniffing tens of different types before making a decision. The seller was only too happy to help us out in making the best choices. Prices are decent across the market. Not crazily expensive, making this an affordable Sunday morning activity for the entire family. Will definitely be back next time I'm in Newcastle.

Thank you to Moorhouse farm shop for helping me to serve up what my husband and brother (the latter…read morea 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'd give this place 5 stars if it weren't for the service which can be pretty unfriendly at times…read more 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.
