Our family have farmed at Allington Bar Farm, near Chippenham, as tenants, for 3 generations and first opened Allington Farm Shop, in 1981, selling potatoes and eggs produced on the farm. The shop gradually expanded and began to become well known for its good quality meat and fresh fruit and vegetables. Following the foot and mouth outbreak in 2001 the demand for quality local food increased and the shop expanded further. In 2008 the shop was refurbished and extended to include a new butchery, delicatessen & a café. We’re a real farming family here at Allington. Dad & Mum (Paul & Jenny Reynolds) and their son & daughter, Tim & Emma are all involved; Tim, alongside his wife Naomi, work together to ensure the farm and shop, run smoothly and Emma runs the Cafe.

We farm approx. 700 acres at Allington Bar and in the local area, growing cereal crops, potatoes & grass. We rear Cattle, Pigs, Sheep & Turkeys on the farm here at Allington. Rearing mainly traditional British breeds, using less intensive farming methods, feeding our own home grown cereals and fodder with all of the meat and potatoes we produce being sold through the Farm Shop. As well as our home grown produce the Farm Shop supports many fantastic small, local, independent producers and some of our suppliers have been supplying us for over 30 years! Our aim is to source products that you can’t find in the supermarkets. There are so many delicious and delightful food items that are created with love, from small family-owned companies throughout the county and beyond.

Opened back in 1981, Allington Farm Shop didn’t look like it does today, however. Paul began by selling potatoes he grew on the farm and eggs from the chickens he reared. Through the decades the Farm Shop has evolved and change shape and size many times – at one time it was located in an old Library bus! It has been the continuous support from our wonderful customers, that has led to the expansion of the Farm Shop over the years and more and more people have started to take notice about supporting local businesses and British farmers; more importantly, the quality of the food they’re eating.

Allington Cafe opened in July 2008 by Emma who has a wealth of experience in the catering industry. Prior to Allington Cafe she established “The Farmhouse Kitchen” – a successful catering and event business. The ethos of Allington Cafe is to create honest, delicious food using the best of local produce. Emma’s team of skilled chefs and welcoming front of house staff invite you to sample the unique experience of food direct from the farm to your table.
