It's nice, kind of reminiscent of the Wheeton's in town (Harrogate). I really enjoy the strong theme of locally sourced high quality food that permeates this place. The employees seem happy which often results in better service, which was the case with my visit today. I like the large open feel of this place combined with the big open windows and the outside tables with umbrellas. The amount of light this place invites gives the cafe section a cheery feel to it. Fee wifi is a plus for yelping of course. I had a Sunday roast and it was a very generous portion. The food was well presented, and wait time was minimal. It was good food, but nothing extraordinary in my experience. But the atmosphere of the place more than compensates to make an overall enjoyable experience and a place I'm likely to revisit soon!

An excellent selection of fruit and veg - it it's in season Fodder will find it. Asparagus (May/June) comes from a farm just over a mile away. The same can be said for strawberries. Meat is from local farms and not only is the selection and quality very good, you can see the butchers in the back rooms cutting the meat up. Chuck in a great cheese counter, lots of local beer, cured meats, chocolates, sweets and puddings... It's a fine establishment. Doing a full weekly shop might not be possible but for a few choice bits and pieces Fodder is a lovely place to visit. Oh, and knowledgeable staff who aren't afraid to smile - that's always going set a place ahead of the competition!

We ordered a coffee each (at the bar after getting a table in the corner so Luna didn't disturb any other diners) and lunch. I went for the meatball sandwich and my wife the gravalax smoked salmon on a potato cake with a duck egg and an exceptional dill sauce. We were both extremely impressed with the quality and presentation of the food. The meatballs in particular blew away what I was used to at IKEA with the ligonberry jam being the perfect accompaniment. Luna was treated to a water bowl and we were treated to filtered still AND sparkling water on tap for free. I've never been somewhere with free sparkling water never mind as much as you can drink. Epic. Would love to return when we next visit Harrogate.

Food shopping is just so much fun and it 's no different in Weeton's. This is farm shopping but in a plush surrounding. Quality assured here and that is a fact. If I say fact then it must be true. What I really love about this place is that it brings the best things about Yorkshire to one place. It's like a deli but on acid. They stock over 1000 different lines of Yorkshire's finest. I defy you to go in and not come out with a sticky toffee pudding or stunning ginger bread house. The bakery really is first class. Yet so is most of it. You'll find teas, wines, meat, vegetables, really smelly cheeses and stock cupboard essentials. The oils are out of this world too. You pay for it but some of the balsamic and dipping oils are just meant to be cracked open on those special occasions. How I can get excited about oil I don't know but in here anything is possible. Great staff and service too and a food shop that doesn't involve trolley-rage or z-list celebrities advertising. Great guns of Harrogate.

We both had a burger, can't remember which, but super meaty, super tasty. Big flavour, big belly. I felt like a fat badger after that. Service wasn't the quickest, but it was cheerful and helpful.

Moreover, its trade-mark deep blue-and-silver tins have come to serve as a symbol not only of the Farrah company but Harrogate itself and are known now far beyond Yorkshire. The Farrah company has, to its credit, set up an impressive visitors' centre and shop and also does a good business in shipping its sticky confection far and wide. Worth stopping by and getting some toffee and other gifts while in town.
