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!

I was home alone one week and I thought I would try getting my fruit, veg & eggs delivered (from C…read more& M Greengrocers). I rang them up, made an order & arranged a delivery time and that was it. First of all the fruit and veg were huge, much bigger and fresher than the supermarket. Everything was delivered on-time and they had even went down to the market that morning and picked up the specific type of mushrooms I had enquired about (which they didn't sell). It is the little things like that which really makes the difference, I can't recommend Marc highly enough. We use them regularly now, it saves me and my girlfriend 20 minutes a week (shopping) and also because we live fairly local, we get free delivery too.

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.
