As our road trip nears its end, we find ourselves with just one more night before returning to Norwich. Today, being a Sunday, we decided to take it easy and enjoy a leisurely start to the day. With approximately two hours of driving ahead, we hit the road around 11 am. As we left Stoke-on-Trent, an intriguing sign for a farm shop caught our attention, and after a somewhat disappointing experience a few days prior, we thought, "Why not give it a try?" Well, this time, it didn't disappoint one bit. Our time at Denstone Hall Farm Shop & Café was so enjoyable that I was too engrossed to take photos, so I've borrowed a few from the web (thanks, Google).
Denstone Hall Farm Shop & Café holds the title of "Best Large Farm Shop & Cafe in the UK" for 2019,
After our delightful farm shop visit, we headed south to Leicester. This was a perfect opportunity to stock up the motorhome with various bulk items from Costco and grab some reasonably priced diesel. Our Costco shopping spree was quite successful, with £400 worth of goods filling up the motorhome's "boot." We acquired paper towels, toilet paper, rolled oats, cranberry juice, clothing, crisps, and much more!
Following our shopping adventures, we made our way to our campground for the night. We're staying at a new site in Melton Mowbray called The Grange, which boasts a garden center, café, and restaurant on its premises. Given that it was Sunday and the clock was approaching 3:30 pm, we thought a Sunday Roast at the restaurant would be the perfect choice. Is it a late lunch or an early dinner? We'll call it "Lunner." We opted for the shared Sunday Roast, and beef it was. It was a delightful experience, spending an hour or two indulging in delicious food, all within a stone's throw from our motorhome.
The campground itself had a lot to offer in the charming town of Melton Mowbray.
