Stoughton Grange Farm Shop

The regeneration of Stoughton Grange Farm Park

A new farm shop has opened as part of the boutique Stoughton Grange rural centre, here’s what else to expect WORDS BY KERRY SMITH

The Stoughton Grange development in Oadby is coming along nicely with the latest addition to the rural centre, Stoughton Grange Farm Shop, which opened on July 26.

Situated on the land of the former Stoughton Farm Park, the farm shop was opened by Steamin’ Billy, which also operates the neighbouring pub The Cow & Plough.

The pub has undergone a full refurbishment and now has a one-acre kitchen garden used to grow salad for their dishes, and as a space to enjoy afternoon tea. Reshaping the Stoughton Grange area into a family destination, Steamin’ Billy will be bringing back elements of the original site with woodland walks and their own mini farm park. Guests will be able to visit alpacas, Shetland ponies, sheep, goats and pigs.

Managing Director Billy Allingham, commented: “The development at Stoughton Grange has seen us bring together a number of elements we’ve been working on for some time – the refurbishment of the pub, the revival of the farm park and, of course, the new farm shop.

“We’re working with some wonderful local suppliers and are looking forward to offering our customers a fantastic range of products.”

The extensive farm shop offers a new shopping experience for guests who can buy a range of fresh and local produce with an on-site butchery, deli counter, bread from the renowned and local Hambleton Bakery, cakes and biscuits, as well as takeaway coffees and other drinks.

Stoughton Grange Farm Shop will join other businesses at the site, including the newly opened Fazakerley Homeware and Gifts, Lollipops Pottery Studio, Dermacare, Andrew Granger Estate Agents and more.

The shop is on Mondays to Saturdays and Sundays from 10am-4pm.
