Farthings at home is the delicatessen that's part of the restaurant/wine bar. It's not attached to…read morethe building but it is only across the road. If you're a big fan of Farthings (which I am) it's a great place to pick up all kinds of treats that they serve in the restaurant. The cheeses are incredible and I subscribe to the theory that the stinkier the cheese the better. One good slab of Stilton had full control of my fridge for over a week. It's all really good quality local produce but also stocks speciality treats. Around Christmas time this place is absolutely buzzing, not just because people are stocking up on gingerbread, cold cuts and cheeseboard goodies but because they sell gifts. I got my mum some lovely tapas bowls and stuffed olives as a stocking filler last year and she absolutely loved it.

Farthings at Home is a great deli, but it is very, very pricey in my estimations. I bought some…read moremaple syrup in there recently and it cost just under £6.00. Now I know that the cost of maple syrup has gone up inordinately, and that the brand (an average one) is organic, but this is a little extreme! It's usual to pay over £4.00 for maple syrup in supermarkets, but you can find it cheaper at either Lidl or Aldi where I bought some for about £3.00, but I can't remember exactly which one... try 'em both! And. I think it was organic... but quite oddly, for a high cost food item, there is usually little to no difference in the pricing structure of organic and non-organ syrup. I still visit Fathings when I feel like a treat, and want to splash out. They do the best of everything, and so you'll never be disappointed with the quality. If I was on a high income I'd shop here all the time. They have an extensive stock range, and so you can pretty much avoid the supermarket when buying the ingredients for dinner.

My (now) husband and I used Topline Catering for our wedding at Folly Farm in Pensford back in…read moresummer 2013, and they were absolutely superb and utter heroes! We were pretty certain what we wanted to serve at our wedding from the start; A choice of 3 Pieminister pies for main A choice of 3 desserts And a large cheese wedding cake, with breads, pickles, fruits etc for the evening Sue was utterly fantastic right from the beginning, when she responded to our request quickly to tell us that everything we wanted was possible, and and supplied a very reasonable quotation - we were already so impressed we put down our deposit for the catering more than a year in advance. We were on a strict budget, and so had to buy a lot of the extras for guests ourselves (like nibbles, post ceremony drinks, table wine and bubbly), expecting that we would ask a family member to pop the wine on the table and let the guests serve themselves. However, Topline were able to offer us waiter service service for the drinks if we hired the drinks glasses through them, which saved us a fortune, and allowed us to serve our favourite drinks and wines. With about 6 months to go until the big day, Sue visited our house to run through the complete plan for the day - finalising our menu choices and how the drink are arrangements for the day would work - so we could send out 'menu options' with our guests invitations. However Sue made sure that we knew that we could make changes to the numbers and the menu up until a few weeks before the big day. On the day itself the Topline Team were absolutely superb, and worked together so well. Folly Farm is quite an unusual venue for a wedding, as it is very 'do it yourself' (one of the reasons we chose it) - and we were expecting to rely on the family to co-ordinate the various stages of the day. However, the Topline staff truly went above and beyond the service level of the 'catering team', and pretty much ran the whole day for us. The lovely young girls who served out post ceremony drinks (sloe gin and cloudy apple juice) out in the sunshine were plagued with wasps, and didn't complain, even though one of them was unfortunately stung - They were real troopers! The staff who served the meals were so organised, and made sure every guest had the right meal, even though the menu was complicated and had a lot of options. The ladies who served the bar throughout the day were so friendly, and really made the guests feel welcome. In fact, we had a lot of feedback from our guests telling us how friendly and welcoming all of the staff were - they took the time to talk to the guests and make them feel at home. And last but not least the lovely lady who stood in for Sue to manage the day was an absolute gem, and I'm really sorry that I can't remember her name. She found me the day before the wedding when I was putting up the decorations at the Farm to give me some reassurance that everything would run smoothly, and to let her know if I needed or wanted anything throughout the day. (And I didn't, it all ran perfectly - the only request made was to put some more of the cheese out on the evening buffet, as she had kindly removed some of it for is to take home!) We also used Topline to run the bar, which again was another triumph. Sue made sure she bought in the drinks that I had suggested the guests would most like, and offered them at a very reasonable price indeed. All in all, Topline were the perfect choice for our big day - and gave us everything we wanted and more. They did it all for a very reasonable price, and with first class service. Thank you so much.

From the very first time we met with them, they have been very professional, accommodating and helpful. They made every effort to cater to our requirement. We opted for a buffet service but wanted a mixture of hot and cold dishes so they made a perfectly customised menu for us. The quality, presentation and quantity of the food were just right to our liking and our guests loved them too. We even had enough to fill us up all throughout the night of the party. The staff were all very attentive and friendly. The arrangement during the day of the wedding and for the rental of several things we needed went very smoothly. We didn't have to worry about a thing.. 5 stars to Topline Catering!! We highly recommend them and we wouldn't have second thoughts about using them again!!

I'm vegetarian (and food options can sometimes be slightly hit-or-miss), but the food Matt served for each meal was just soooo flavoursome and delicious. On our last night, Matt made such a huge effort and threw us a little party with a fire-pit along with dinner and drinks (with the help of his lovely son George) and it was such a brilliant evening. 10/10 and would highly recommend

The booking process was easy and if we had any questions Matt came back with an answer straight away, the day of the BBQ there was plenty of delicious meats, salads and bread rolls and we could have fed another 20 people. Matt's attitude and customer service was second to none, really attentive and could not do enough for us, and would not accept any help when it came to clearing everything away. Regardless of the typical British BBQ weather (rain, hail, snow and sunshine) everyone really enjoyed their lunch. A massive thank you to Matt and his team @ Shropshire Hills Catering. Would recommend this company to all. Thank you again Matt, will certainly be using your services again in the future.
