Knitsley Farm Shop - Consett

Peter Dale

First time visiting this venue and on arrival at the farm shop we were massively impressed, such an array of goodies to purchase. The veg looks so fresh and the butchers produce looks impressive also. We had a good chat with the butcher and he was so helpful and knowledgeable. They even make their own corned beef in the Deli which they were also so helpful and gave me a sample to try, it was wonderful and nothing like that tinned stuff we are all used to. The bakery was very impressive also as they start baking at 3am, which you can tell as everything looks so fresh. The fruit and cheese scones were huge and only £1 each. So much to feast your eyes on at this place.

Next we had to try the cafe next door and the service was excellent I had the pork bun with chips and could only manage to eat the pork bun and about half a dozen chips. My wife had the cheese and onion quiche and salad and it’s the best quiche I’ve ever tasted. The quiche was so good we went back to the shop and bought one to freeze. The portions in here are very generous and not for the faint hearted.

All in all a wonderful experience and we have joined the loyalty card programme and will definitely be back.

I am so jealous of anyone who lives within "popping in" distance of this amazing shop and cafe. It is first class with a capital F. I don't have enough characters to describe my joy of seeing what's on offer in their butchery and shop and then tasting the amazing breakfast in the well run cafe. If you have the chance, stop and enjoy. You won't regret it.

Excelet produce, the beef stotie and chips was excellent. Sausage was very tasty. Got some great produce in the farm shop, plenty of variety on sale. Can't wait to begin tasting everything.

Visited here for the first time. Sadly didn’t have time to stay and eat but it looked lovely. Seating area outdoors as well as indoors. Dog friendly. Will definitely be back to have lunch..
We actually went for the farm shop which did not disappoint. Lovely choice of local produce and items from other farms/artisans. The staff looked very proud of their produce and rightly so! Bought some Cumberland sausage made on site and some yummy looking burgers! Will be back for sure.
Large car park. Slightly tricky to get to as the lane to the farm is only wide enough for 1 vehicle.

The shop had a wide range of great products and a fantastic butchers, although we came here reading from another review that it was dog friendly but we weren't allowed in the shop which would have been fine but it was abit cold and we had to eat outside. I bought some cheese with nettles in which I've never heard of before and it tasted really nice

Great full breakfast, with their own sausages, bacon, black pudding. Hard to find its equal anywhere.
Update. 23 Aug, 2024. When they're starting from such a strong base, it's a pity a few things let them down. This morning, the bacon and black pudding were a bit dry, like they'd been sat on the top for a while. Mushrooms were tasteless - give them some herbs or garlic. And personally, I don't care for hash browns - how about a second egg or sausage? This is not to say the breakfast isn't excellent; just to point out where it could be made better@

Went today & man o man what a fantastic place, . Plenty of parking, but beware to turn left b4 the barns into the carpark. Otherwise, you end up in the farm yard... i didn't take any pictures of the courtyard as ppl were eating & looked like they were eating plates fullof local food..we bought a number of items from the farm shop ourselves..gets a 12/10 from me, definitely worth a visit but would imagine it gets very busy at times..

Steak sandwich and ice tea are my favourite! The shop is too expensive, but the quality is high for meats.
