Inside the farm shop cafe near Manchester named best in the UK with massive breakfasts and burgers

This is the family-run farm shop that's just been named the best in the UK for its cafe boasting home-made cakes, burgers and mouth-watering breakfasts.

The Lambing Shed farm shop and cafe in Knutsford was opened six years ago by the Mitchell family as a way to champion local produce from across Cheshire and Manchester and to showcase their farm's home-reared beef and lamb.

Now it's a busy hub for the local community and visitors from across the area for some mouth-watering treats, as well as offering an outdoor play area with mini tractors for kids, while remaining very much a working farm where next month families can book to attend their popular lambing weekends.

The cafe and shop are based inside what was, yes, once the lambing shed at Moseley Hall Farm just off Chelford Road on the outskirts of Knutsford.

The farm is run by Sue and Michael Mitchell, with son Rob now helping on the farming side, while daughter Kathryn is director of the farm shop and cafe.

They decided to transform the shed into the shop six years ago to diversify and showcase what farmers were doing in the local area.

Now they are celebrating being crowned the UK's Best Farm Cafe/Restaurant at the prestigious Farm Retail Association awards, the only awards judged by fellow farm retailers and which celebrates the best farm shops, cafes, markets and trade suppliers across the country.

The cafe was praised by the judges for the high quality of food and service, and was hailed as "a superb example of a business which understands its customer profile and then delivers a range of food and service to meet their customer's needs".
