Flower Farm - Godstone

Julie Coiro

Want to say a big thank you to Flower Farm for their help. I ordered a 8kg Turkey because I’d left it late ordering. When we collected it on Christmas Eve the butcher managed to find us one double the size, called Cyril, and recommended we cook it following their instructions. It was absolutely amazing and so tender. We have ended up with plenty for turkey sandwiches all week. ?

Fantastic farm shop and bistro. Popped by after a dog walk in nearby Marden park. Plenty of parking and outdoor and indoor seating for the bistro which is really pleasant inside with interesting film posters on the wall. Had a goats cheese panini and a bacon Brie and avocado panini and both came with a lovely tomato pepper and cucumber salad and some crisps. The shop was excellent too with some amazing meats including sausages, pork chops and marinated chickens. Great selection of fruits and veg, cheeses and pastries including marmite sausage rolls and huge pork pies. Polite and friendly staff. A really great find and would definitely recommend a visit.

We went for a coffee and a few things from the farm shop. I had a cheese and ham sandwich on white, comes with crisps and a nice little salad all very nice, coffee good carrot cake very good.
The farm shop like most is expensive , but you get allegedly, free range meats of good quality locally sourced. I had chicken supremes they did taste good. Bought few other bits from the shop as a treat as I was flush that week

Me and my friend popped in a coffee and a walk around and ended up buying fruit and veg from the Farm Shop and a yummy piece of cake and a walk around the PYO fruit fields. Extremely enjoyable

Attended the Oktoberfest event on 19/10. Was our third year running and it's such a shame to see how much it's declined each year.

1. Seating this year was a different layout, with the stage at the far end of the barn and tables in rows all the way down to the back. Not only does it make it impossible for people at the back (such as we were) to hear or see anything or even feel involved, but they've inexplicably gone and positioned a buffet station right down the middle of the barn, segregating the cheap seats even more.

We chose to go with the £40 standard tickets as we didn't feel £60 for what should have been the same experience but with tables closer to the front and really slow table drinks service would be worth it. The website states that the earlier you book your tickets, the closer to the front you'll be... So having booked the very day that tickets went on sale, we were shocked to find ourselves nearly all the way back by the toilets!

2. Beer is obviously a big part of Oktoberfest, however, the serving staff couldn't pour a beer if their lives depended on it. Not only was bar staff painfully slow but the beers they were pouring had no head whatsoever as they weren't bothering to tilt the steins whilst pouring. Leading to a miserable looking beer with no head that tasted as though it had been mixed with a generous helping of line cleaner.... Disgusting!... Switched to mixed drinks after 2 steins. Nothing says Oktoberfest like Jack Daniels and Coke!

3. The last two years we've gone to this event, there has been an opening "oom pah band", the Flower Farm House band and some kind of headline act. 2 years ago, it was the Mariachis, last year it was an Elvis tribute. All very entertaining, however, this year, (I expect as a cost cutting measure) there was no headline act. Instead we were subjected to the AWFUL Flower Farm House band, with a lead singer who kept forgetting the lyrics, the tune and the tempo of all your favorite party songs! It was painful to (half) listen to.

Needless to say, we left early, feeling mightily disappointed and certain that we won't be coming back for round 4 in 2025.

Beautiful location. Fantastic food. Amazing fresh produce and butchers. Lovely Ian always let's me know when the raspberries, strawberries, and plums are ready for picking, which my elderly mother and young nephew look forward to every year.

Good food for good times. They've got great fish and chips here. The chips are actually wedges which look like homemade and not just plain ordinary chips. The cod is well seasoned and delicious. The bar is also very nice, with a range of ales and cocktails available. We had a great time.
