The Food Shop

The Food Shop at Cedar Farm is a small specialist delicatessen run by husband and wife team Phil and Esther Cropper. It started trading in 1999, with the intention of producing excellent quality 'home cooked' food using locally sourced ingredients with no additives or preservatives.

All the beef and lamb used is reared in Tarleton and the chicken is all free range and also sourced locally. Milk & cream come from Rolands dairy in Mawdesley and the range of local and speciality cheeses from Preston.
As well as a range of homecooked meals, now over 20 varieties, Phil and Esther also produce their own chicken liver pate, freshly made rice, cous cous, spicy beany & pasta salads, luxury dairy ice cream and fruit sorbets.

The 'Fill Your Dishes' service is perfect for dinner parties. Many regular customers now bring in their own dishes to be filled with tasty meals they can simply reheat.
For larger parties the catering service is ideal, offering speciality honey glazed roasted ham, smoked fish platter, salads and pates.
Together with their own products, The Food shop stock many niche food items both local and international and always try to concentrate on interesting and high quality foods.
"Our secret is providing 'ready meals' with a difference enabling our customers to enjoy scrumptious homemade cooking without the effort"
