We really enjoy visiting Glebe Farm for produce. The safety procedures put in place during the Covid 19 pandemic have been excellent. At all times I have felt completely safe. The queuing system has been clearly marked out and orderly. Hand sanitiser at entry is appreciated. The butcher calling people in ensures safe distancing. The butcher is a real bonus, the meat is so fresh, good quality and tasty. I can recommend the pork chops, best ever sausages with hardly any fat and the most delicious cooked meats. The farm shop has beautiful organic vegetables, eggs, milk and cheese. I really appreciated that they were selling rice, pasta and flour at the beginning of lockdown when these items were in short supply in the supermarkets. We look forward to returning when more of the units will be open.

We stopped here for a picnic to break up a journey. This is a fantastic place to spend an hour or two, with a car park (50p charge), toilets, information centre, great cafe and wonderful lake area which you can walk all the way around. This is a great place for walking a dog, and the cafe is also dog friendly, with a large outdoor terrace. Well worth a visit.
