I haven't watched this yet:
when they own fuck all for land and hardly have to travel the necessity isnt really there for needing to trailer things.All that farming and not a single one ton diesel in sight.
cool you were there awesomeA couple of shots from my quick visit. Shop is on the right, sheep barn/restaurant on the left....
Shop.....
Inside barn/restaurant....
They had a food truck too when I went at the end of October, so I wouldn't be surprised if that continues.Did they make the restaurant a food truck now?
Biggest racket going (didn't stop me buying stuff though )what did you think of the place, just a tourist trap, or?
I only live about half an hour down the road from it. T'wife and I keep meaning to go but it wasn't till my sister and her hubby came over from NZ last October that I actually got round to visiting the shop.cool you were there awesome

He can charge what he likes knowing people will still pay. The expensive potato=free stuff thing was still going on, there was one chap wandering out with an armful of swag complaining (in jest) about his £90 potato
Unfortunately I think due to his celebrity status it's gonna be tough to run a true farm shop, the kind where the locals will pop in to buy their weekly milk, veg and meat etc as it's just way too busy. So he's kinda backed into a corner in that regard which is a shame as it looked like he had some nice locally produced stuff in there.
very coolI only live about half an hour down the road from it. T'wife and I keep meaning to go but it wasn't till my sister and her hubby came over from NZ last October that I actually got round to visiting the shop.
what is really cool is this farm i just found out today (thanks to this thread) has been on top gear and been with him since 2008 and since i have top gear going on my tv every day ( samsung smart tv frre channel 1189) i will look for it in the shows now.
I finally had to turn that channel off a little while back. Not sure how many times I watched each season of UK. Was going back and forth between that and MotorTrend for a while.what is really cool is this farm i just found out today (thanks to this thread) has been on top gear and been with him since 2008 and since i have top gear going on my tv every day ( samsung smart tv frre channel 1189) i will look for it in the shows now.
The problem with the locals is you've got 2 main sorts: The lifetime locals who can see the benefits the shop and tourism bring to the local community and producers.I hadn’t considered at the shop would be mostly unusable to the locals due to the traffic. That would help explain why some of them are so adamant against it.
But on the other hand, all of that traffic has to be a great thing for selling local produce products, even if that’s only 10% of what’s going out the door.
You can watch him blow up his old house there.what is really cool is this farm i just found out today (thanks to this thread) has been on top gear and been with him since 2008 and since i have top gear going on my tv every day ( samsung smart tv frre channel 1189) i will look for it in the shows now.

I went in expecting to not like it but I was pleasantly surprised. They have 4-5 seasons on Netflix. I highly recommend giving them a shot.

It's on Samsung TV also. I change the channel channel after Season 22 for that very reason and next time I would see an early season on the guide, I'd flip back. Haven't tried 27+, might give it a go one day.There's a Top Gear channel on Pluto TV. Free, but with commercials. They run some of the later TG's and the chemistry between the hosts seems to be lacking.
