Nearing the Finish Line on the Build!
Published: July 9, 2025

There has been huge progress since our last update and we’re buzzing with excitement to show you what’s been happening behind the scenes! The team has been working incredibly hard, and it’s finally starting to look like the vision we’ve all had in our heads is coming to life.


As the weeks go by, more and more of the shop is coming together. Units are being built and taking shape, counters are up and ready for machines, and our kitchen has officially been installed, all set to cook up delicious food when we open our doors.
One of the biggest visual transformations recently has been the flooring. It might seem like a small detail, but what a difference it makes! Somehow it makes the space feel even bigger, and definitely more welcoming. It’s that one piece that pulls the whole space together and makes it feel real. Trust us, it’s starting to feel like a proper farmshop now!


Imagine it… You step through the front entrance and are welcomed by a stunning fruit and veg display, full of colour and freshness. Look over and you’ll see beautiful shelves stocked with top-quality produce. Say hello to our friendly butcher and deli teams behind their shiny new counters, then wander down past the servery to the café area, where you can sit back and enjoy a meal crafted from ingredients you’ll find right here in the shop. And if you’re in a hurry? No worries, our takeaway section will have you covered with tasty cakes and hot coffee on the go.


We’re now in the final stretch of the build phase. Not long at all until we’ll be filling shelves, arranging furniture, and bringing in our fantastic range of products, ready to welcome you all. We honestly can’t wait for you to see the finished space and experience Arkleston Farmshop & Kitchen for yourselves.
A massive thank you for all the love and support you’ve shown us throughout this journey. It truly means the world. Please keep spreading the word, and stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to opening day!
