Whether you are looking for breakfast (serving sausage and bacon baps on the day we were there), groceries (large selection of local meats and vegetables), local cider / beer / spirits or even gifts, this is the place for you. Everyone was very friendly and the quality of the meat and produce was very high... the cider was pretty damn good too. A necessary bookmark for anyone going to the Jurassic Coast. Also, they also sell flowers, plants and children's wetsuits (of course)!

Highly recommended. Good selection and quality at a great price. Very friendly and welcoming too.read more

This play centre is near where we are staying so seemed like a good place to check out. Sadly being…read moreschool holidays it is packed out. There are two play areas, one for over 5 which is huge, and a small 2-5 area which is what boo is playing on. Price is fair and there is a cafe and plenty of seating for the adults. I have included pics of the menu. Plenty of kid friendly cafe items at the counter too. The reason for the three stars is security around the younger kids section. Usually there is one entrance you can keep your eye on, or the walls are bigger so they cannot escape. We could not take our eyes off her for 5 seconds to buy a drink or talk to school other because she kept hopping out of the area because the exit ran around two corners we couldn't see it all at once. Other than that, a great time at a fun place I would love to come back when it wasn't packed.

I appreciate every excuse i can find to go back and visit the beautiful town of Cowbridge, and the…read moreCowbridge Farmers Market is the best of the best! It provides me with the opportunity to stock up on some great organic veg and meat as well as some great jams and local honey. The latter is an essential ingredient in every allergy suffers kitchen... eating honey that is grown locally can diminish the effects of hay-fever as well as a host of other allergies. The fact that the Farmers Market is in the car-park at Arthur John's is an absolute boon! Arthur John's is possibly the best hardware shop in the known universe, and I love visiting it, even if I don't have anything specific to buy. I always come out with a couple of items that I have been meaning to get, but always forget to purchase when I'm on a shopping mission elsewhere. If tools float your boat, this is a DIYers heaven! The prices are incredibly cheap considering the quality of the stock available. The Farmers Market isn't as cheap, but the quality of the goods is second to none! Cowbridge Farmers Market is held on the first Saturday of every month

The Farmers' Market is a relatively new initiative which brings local produce to Oxford's shoppers…read more There's a great range of food such as free range meat and dairy produce, home-baked cakes and locally produced jams and honeys. There are burgers and other food items cooked on the sight, so you can eat while you wander, and it's ideal if you're looking for good, honest food without the stress of supermarket shopping. The stallholders are mostly friendly and keen to chat about their produce, and prices are reasonably compared to health food shops and similar. A great thing to support that adds to the traditional feel of the more independent aspects of Oxford shopping and makes the big town seem more like a local farming market.

I like to saunter along, barter with the chirpy market folk and pick up various things for my tea - buffalo mozzarellla, honey, jam, crumbly bread and slabs of fresh meat.

Everyone in Bristol sounds like farmers so for a proper Bristolian experience a trip to the city's…read morefarmers market is a good idea. The focus is on fresh food from local producers; its the farmers themselves that are selling you the goods. There's more or less everything you could imagine finding on a farm, with highlights including the various organic meat stalls (v. expensive) and the fruit stalls later in the summer, when you can get some of the recent strawberry crop People know about their goods and love to talk about it. This isn't a supermarket experience and people are keen to have a chat - it's a bit like being in the countryside, funnily enough. It runs on a Wednesday, so if you're working in the city centre (it's based by St. Nicholas Market on Corn Street) treat yourself in your coffee/lunch break and pick up some crusty bread and cheddar cheese. You'll feel much better than you would queueing up with the other suits, even if it does cost a little bit more.

I was taken out for a lunch meeting today, which is a rare treat in my line of work. A friend had…read morerecommended this place so decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed, this a great little farm shop, they have a great selection of deli items, including jams, chutneys etc and sell loads of nice veggies as well as having great meat counter at the end of the shop. The menu was was simple but did not disappoint, they have a selection of breakfast options as well as salads, ploughmans and a sandwich selection on the lunch menu. We both had the smoked trout, it was on the menu as a terrine however we were told they had sold out but could offer a smoked trout salad instead. It was really nice, the Trout had a really nice flavour, and was served with salad and toast, the waitress bought out a couple of salad dressings and oh my god the spiced mango chutney was Devine. My colleague and I both bought a bottle to take home, I don't think it will last very long. We also had a tea for two which gave us about 4 cups each and was great value for money, tea was served in lovely China which always makes tea taste better! I will definitely be visiting again and next time I'll be taking some more money for some yummy treats to take away! Sorry only got a pic of the sauce as I'd left my phone at home.

I popped in here when I noticed signs for the farm shop/cafe. It's just up the road from my…read moreparents' house where I grew up so being nosey I thought I'd take a peek. It's all lovely round here, so it's a great setting- the farm shop sells a variety of local fruit and veg, plus honey, chutneys and chocolate (made very locally in Newton St Loe). There's a butcher too- all the meat is British and most of it is local. You can also get some very fancy cordon bleu ready meals- and I don't mean the kind of thing you'd see in a supermarket. Plus, always a bonus in my eyes, you can take a load off and sit down for a cream tea, or a lovely piece of cake- seating both inside and outside. Lovely little place, good for gifts and for higher-end farm produce.

In fact, this is such a permanent and well loved fixture of the Cardiff local flavour, that even when the market is not in session, you'll find a series of fruit and vegetable sculptures in the same spot. These cross sections of cucumbers and apples can be looked through to see the grand Millennium Stadium beyond. If you're a fan of keeping your carbon footprint as small as possible, then this is the place for you. All of the products on sale here are very high quality and extremely local. This is a fantastic way to while away a Sunday afternoon. The only problem is that I'd like it to be larger with a better selection!

It was perfect for a lazy, sunny, Sunday. I have to admit I didn't end up buying much apart from bread and cakes, but they did have a huge selection of cheeses and deli style foods across the 30 odd stalls. It also has craft stores and flowers and really, really good coffee. This is probably not the place for people on a budget to do the weekly shop but a great place to pick up some really special ingredients and a fantastic way to spend an afternoon away from the city centre. Open Sunday 10am- 4pm

I definitely deduct a star because, while parking in England is usually a challenge - not enough spots (all (too) small for my Land Rover) and expensive, parking in Salisbury seemed to us like the worst for a small city! Anyway - back to market and surroundings. Historic buildings including a magnificent cathedral, a wide variety of pubs and eating places, an open market and a wide range of stores selling just about anything your heart might desire. We were lucky to catch the open market itself on Saturday morning en route to lunch at the Haunch of Venison (the pub from 1320 - see my review). They had every kind of cheese, fruit etc as well as clothes, crafts and more. Review #58 2019

I came here twice with my mother-in-law to pick up a few fresh items (strawberries), direct from the farmers. The hardest part is finding a parking spot. Lucky for me, my mother-in-law had a handicap sticker, which meant that we were able to park right at the market square. I'm not sure what you do if you can't park on the street. There has to be a parking lot somewhere, I just didn't need to figure that part out. If you are in the neighborhood, stop in and enjoy! I'll be back the next time I'm nearby.
