Middle Farm

This week marks Bike Week in the UK. A celebration of cycling by Cycling UK - highlighting the value of cycling for both everyday travel and leisure.

Middle Farm lies on National Cycle Route 2, also known as the South Coast Cycle Route, which runs from Dover in Kent to St Austell in Cornwall, following much of the southern coastline and passing through a wide range of landscapes.

The route is 378 miles long, and can easily be completed in smaller sections if you didn’t fancy such a long journey! There are lots of train stations along the route and it is simple to pick the section of the route which appeals to you the most.

A map of the route can be found at: www.walkwheelcycletrust.org.uk

Cyclists travelling this route often stop off at our Tearoom to pause for rest, a good cup of coffee, and a sweet treat!
It’s a well-used route at this time of year, and always great to see so many people out riding.

Back by popular demand and perfect timing for our celebration of National Cheese Day this weekend: The Blue Burger.

Our beautiful grass fed steak mince blended with velvety soft Cropwell Bishop. A blue Stilton cheese which has a rich, creamy flavour and features a noticeable blue tang. With a slightly spicy finish - it pairs beautifully with our mince.

These burgers are ones not to be missed and only here for the summer season!

Tastings of our homemade burger (and sausages) are available all weekend on the butchery counter.
As well as cheese tasting in our deli on Sunday 7th June (9:30am until 4:30pm)

*The Blue Burger is priced at £3.75 each

The weekend is upon us again and we have another packed butchery counter with plenty of options to help celebrate National BBQ Week.

With homemade skewers, koftes, burgers and award winning sausages - all gluten and sulphite free.

We have sausage tasting on both Saturday and Sunday this weekend at the counter where you might find a new favourite for your BBQ!

In the Tearoom counter today - treat yourself this Bank Holiday with a slice of our indulgent homemade Chocolate Caramel sponge cake.

Sticky caramel and rich chocolate sponge - pairs perfectly with an iced latte.

🐝 World Bee Day 🐝
Wednesday 20th May 2026

Honey Tasting Event:
To mark World Bee Day, we are pleased to be hosting a honey tasting event on Sunday 24th May in our Gardeners Courtyard, in collaboration with Sussex producers Little Bees Larder

Little Bees Larder is a local, independent producer specialising in raw, unprocessed honey sourced from carefully managed hives in Sussex. Their work champions sustainable beekeeping practices.

Bees play a vital role in sustaining our natural world and food systems. Through pollination, they support the growth of many of the fruits, vegetables, and crops we rely on every day - contributing to both biodiversity and global food security.

However, bee populations are under increasing pressure due to habitat loss, pesticide use, and the effects of climate change.

There are simple ways we can all help the bee population flourish:
• Plant a variety of nectar-rich flowers throughout the seasons
• Reduce or avoid the use of pesticides in gardens
• Support local producers and sustainable beekeeping
• Create or preserve natural spaces for pollinators
