Booking for Rumwell Farm Shop’s pre-Mother’s Day afternoon tea on Saturday, March 18, is now open and staff say it provides a wonderful way to thank one of the most important women in all our lives. Anne Mitchell, Partner at the farm shop, located on the A38 between Taunton and Wellington, explained: “We have officially launched our online booking for our pre-Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea, so anyone who wants to treat their mum this Mother’s Day can do so by booking in.
“The Afternoon Tea will take place on Saturday, March 18 from 2.45pm and those who book can choose from a warm homemade scone with Rumwell strawberry jam and Westcountry clotted cream, a selection of finger sandwiches made with five different fillings and a selection of five homemade cakes. There will also be gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options to choose from too. You’ll also receive a free small gift for your mum too.”
Rumwell Farm Shop is an independent, family-run, award-winning business owned by the Mitchell family. It was originally a potato store, when David and Anne Mitchell began selling their potatoes and free-range eggs at the gate more than 25 years ago.
Due to customer demand, the range of products soon increased, and the farm shop grew into the place it is today. David and Anne’s sons, James and Jack, are now also involved in the business, as well as their wives, Sophie and Donna.
Rumwell Farm Shop, which won nine Taste of the West Gold Awards in 2022 for its shop and café and also for some of its made onsite products, has a traditional Butchery counter selling its home-reared and free-range pork and Rumwell Angus beef. It’s traditional, dry cured back bacon was recently given the title of overall Champion Bacon in the Taste of the West Awards.
There is also a Delicatessen, Bakery, Jam Kitchen, Food Hall, Wine Cellar, Gluten Free Kitchen and Gift Room. Its Café kitchen has also achieved Coeliac UK’s Gluten Free accreditation.
The food prepared in the Café kitchen is sourced from the Farm Shop, the Mitchell family farm, which is just four miles away, and other regional suppliers.
Families are welcome to the Café and there is a menu especially for children. It also serves afternoon teas, Sunday carvery and is licensed to sell alcoholic beverages.
