Cwmcerrig Farm Shop, Cross Hands.. 00:14 - May 29 with 2593 viewsBrynCartwright

...anyone been there, especially for Sunday Carvery...? I was thinking of nipping up there to pick up some venison.

I have never, ever seen such disastrous Trip Advisor reviews. Nearly every one is 1 star out of 5. They make for really entertaining reading. Apparently run like a Fawlty Towers/ 70's school canteen, with many, many,many people really upset by the attitude of the owner, Roland Watkins.

How they stay in business is anyone's guess.

Go just to experience it.
Should be so much better.
Everything is overpriced and one or two staff are so grumpy.
There's been out of date stock still on shelves months after its best before date expired.
The butchery is very expensive. The canteen is a stumbling block. Roast potatoes are kept watch over and if you have a child under 3 and ask for a side plate, woe betide you!
Lovely seated area outside with views of the busiest dual carriageway in West Wales. Enjoy.

My brother in law said the burgers they bought were disgusting.

On another note I recommend the Aldi Angus burgers 😍

Bought Christmas meat there a couple of times, very expensive and nothing special.

Agree about the Aldi burgers...very good.

Just had a look-some shocking reviews. Even poor chains usually get a score of 3 or more!

I once had a fry up there and from what I recall it was great tasting and good VFM; chunky bacon chops if my memory is correct and proper fried bread to go with it.

I also purchased a very tasty but vastly overpriced lamb and mint rissole.

It's also a little out of our way for us Turks.

That's as far as I'd be prepared to go on a TripAdvisor entry.

Their bacon chops were really thick and tasted lush. My parents used to go there quite often but they had a run-in with the staff about one of their grandchildren. They don’t go back.

Very proud to be voted Planet Swans Poster of the Year 2017 by my fellow posters. Especially on a site that nearly had 20 million impressions last year.

Just read some of the Tripadvisor reviews on the gaff...and the owner seems a right Basil Fawlty...couldn't actually believe how many there were. What a tw@t of a man.

I went there just to experience it as I was passing. I called ahead and spoke to the owner, who was rude on the phone.

However, inside all of the staff I spoke with were Uber friendly. They may have been trying to compensate for the owners attitude but I thought they were fine.

I bought some veg and meat and while it wasn't cheap, It was on a par with other farm shops i;ve visited.

You do wonder how much better the business would be if Mr Watkin kept away from customers, or possibly sold up!

I often visit trip advisor so see how many roast potatoes ate allowed etc.. comedy gold

Ever since my son was... never conceived, because I've never had consensual sex without money involved... I've always kind of looked at you as... a thing, that I could live next to... in accordance with state laws.

Farms shops don't have to be expensive. Get yourself down to Murton - it's much better value than the supermarkets

edit: Fridays and Saturdays only. Stuff runs low by lunchtime Sat!
