I don't think I've ever been so dissapointed when visiting a place. The signs directing you to the shop suggest a range of ready meals, hot food and organic produce will be available in abundance when you arrive. "Great" I thought, as I could just have done with a decent pie or fresh non-roadside-garage-style-sandwich. When I arrived, I was forced off the road by an oncoming vehicle, because the narrow access road appears only to have been designed to fit the shopkeepers (not eco-friendly, I might add) 4x4 car. "This isn't a good start" I thought. When I came into the "car park", there was a big gully in the middle of it, that when you drive over, the underside the car scrapes on the pavement (unless, I imagine, you are driving a large, non eco-friendly vehicle, like the owner). I spent some time looking around the shop, desparatley trying to find something that I wanted to buy, but except for the shelves of over-priced organic cotton nappies, sparcely arranged butcher's fridge and 1, yes, 1 pie and a burnt pizza bread, there was really nothing of any interest. At all. I suppose if you have a bank account as big as the crater in the car park you might be able to afford a tub of olives, slice of cheese or a home made loaf, but you still wouldn't have a sandwich. Their eco, organic, LOCAL, free range, blah blah blah shop is full of half cut ideas for helping save the planet - there potatoes have "zero food miles", but that's no good if you still have to go to tesco and buy something decent to put in it. Their trolleys are made from recycled bottles - "what a great idea" I thought, until I saw they had ben shipped from abroad -same goes for their wicker shopping baskets - from China. To top it all, I stood waiting the best part of half an hour to get served a slice of cheddar by a girl, who, despite her best efforts informed me "she hasn't been shown how to cut cheese, yet." Bravo, Mrs Goldy, or whatever your name is. Slow staff, poor layout, bad service and hardly anything to actually BUY...I think you need to try harder.
