The Farmshop

Wells Farmshop is built around exceptional food — from our award-winning cheese counter to a deli filled with carefully sourced British produce.

At the heart of it all is our cheese selection, cut to order and chosen for quality, seasonality and character.

In the café, expect proper food done well — great coffee, homemade bakes, and a menu that goes beyond the usual farm shop fare, from simple lunches to seasonal specials.

Eat in, take away, or take something home with you.

More Than Just a Farmshop

---

Wells has built a reputation for exceptional cheese — but there’s much more to discover.

Our shelves are filled with carefully chosen products to sit alongside it all: great crackers, chutneys and accompaniments, alongside a range of quality deli items, store cupboard staples, wines & local beers. Everything is selected with the same approach as our cheese – simple, well made, and worth having at home.

Whether you’re building a cheese board, picking up something for supper, or looking for a gift, you’ll always find something a little better than the usual.
Ask us to help you build the perfect cheese board.

The Cheese Counter (Our Theatre)

---

This is what we’re known for. We offer one of the finest selections of British artisan cheese you’ll find anywhere – alongside a carefully chosen range of European classics.

Our counter is built around proper cheese: clothbound cheddars like Montgomery and Isle of Mull, territorial favourites like Cheshire and Lancashire, and standout British cheeses including Colston Bassett Stilton, Waterloo, Wigmore, Spenwood, Rachel and Wyfe of Bath. Alongside these sit exceptional continental cheeses such as Brie de Meaux, Comté and Gruyère.

But what really sets us apart is how we sell it. Everything is cut fresh, tasted with you, and talked through properly – whether you know exactly what you want or are discovering something new.

• Ask for a taste
• Build a board
• Take home something special

Not sure what to choose? Just ask — that’s what we’re here for.

Proper Food. Done Well.

---

From relaxed breakfasts to long lunches, everything is cooked fresh using quality, locally sourced ingredients wherever possible.

Expect homemade soups, sourdough toasties, fresh salads, cakes baked in-house and Bertie’s burgers – alongside a regularly changing specials board built around the seasons.

Whether you’re popping in for a quick coffee or settling in for lunch, there’s always something worth staying for. We’ve plenty of seating across the café, marquee & outside areas — just come along.

We also cater for office lunches and funeral teas.

ABOUT US

---

Wells Farmshop is built on a love of proper food, great hospitality, and British artisan cheese.

Bertie & Lucy Wright took over in 2019, bringing with them experience from Gees, Quod and The Old Parsonage, along with time spent working in Melbourne and San Francisco.

Today, Wells is all about doing things properly.

From a café serving fresh, seasonal food inspired by a traditional British farmhouse kitchen, to a farmshop filled with carefully sourced produce – everything is driven by quality, simplicity and great suppliers.

Originally a village shop in Streatley, the business was taken on in 1953 by Major Patrick Rance – a pioneer of British artisan cheese.

Now based at Peach Croft Farm near Abingdon, Wells continues to grow – built on great food, great cheese and a warm welcome.
