I love Ardross. The staff know their stuff and really care for their produce and customers. Most of the produce sold is grown on their farm, so carrots, parsnips and potatoes are wonderfully filthy!
The fruit and veg they don't grow themselves comes mainly from other farms in the UK, although a few bits and bobs come from further afield (although I would say that even in winter, this was the minority of stock).
In addition to wonderful veggies they have so much meat it is unbelievable. Pretty much anything you want you can get - they also do a fabby steak pie and other pretty tasty and reasonably healthy ready-meals.
But we are not finished yet - local honey, UK liqueurs, fruit wines, local jams, sauces, condiments, cheese, ice-cream, deserts, crackers, breads - seriously, a lovely place to make a gift basket or to treat yourself with a gourmet dinner.
Prices are very reasonable for the produce - in fact I would say that it is often cheaper than supermarket. Meat and ready-meals, I don't mind paying for if they are quality - which they are. Other groceries are a bit spendy, but they are not mass-produced, they are usually made in the UK, so I generally don't grudge that for a special treat.
Lip-smackingly good! read more
