The Oaks Poultry Farm (Farm Shop)

The Oaks Poultry Farm sounds like a working farm shop that also knows exactly what children want: animals, tractors, hay bales, soft play and somewhere to refuel afterwards. Reviews mention hens, cockerels, ducklings, pigs, cows, donkeys, goats, turkeys, rabbits and guinea pigs, plus the chance to hold small animals. There’s also a farm shop selling eggs, meat and local drinks. What really comes through is that this is a genuinely family-run place that seems to make life easy for parents. The soft play, indoor animal barn, sandpit, toy vehicles and play kitchens give younger children plenty to do, while the café gets repeated praise for home-baked cakes, lunches and decent coffee. Several reviewers mention warm, friendly staff and good value, which is always a pleasant surprise in this sort of setting. The main caveat is that it can get very busy, with queues and a bit of parking wrangling at peak times. It also sounds strongest for younger children rather than older ones, so don’t expect a full-day epic for tweens. Some practical details like pram access, baby changing and dog policy are not mentioned in the reviews, so those remain unknown.
