A quick update from The Farmer’s Dog.
It turns out that when Britain reaches temperatures normally associated with southern Spain, certain things stop working properly.
As a result, Chops (our butcher’s counter) will be closed today and potentially for the remainder of the week. The combination of extreme heat, refrigeration units and a giant tent has proved challenging. We’re working on solutions and will reopen as soon as it’s sensible to do so. Don’t worry, our famous sausage rolls will still be available from the garden bars and pub bar.
farmshop and Hops will remain open, although you may notice we’ve moved a few tills around to make life slightly more bearable for our team.
And finally, a word on dogs.
We love them. The clue is in the name. Normally they’re always welcome. But with very little shade on site and temperatures nudging towards 35°C and beyond, today might be a good day for them to stay somewhere cool and comfortable instead.
Thank you for your understanding.
Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’re off to stand in a walk-in fridge.
