We sell

  • local preserves
  • home baked cakes and tablet
  • our own free range eggs
  • traditional meat breeds

For the Kids

Muddy Boots is seriously kid-friendly and we aim to see families enjoying a fun experience. That's why we don't charge adults to join in! As well as a kids menu in the cafe, there is children's entertainment in the form of

  • Muddy Munchkins - (the under 7's outdoor play area) which includes gyro cars, a jumping pillow, tractor track, sandpit, playhouse & tyre swings 
  • super downhill grass sledging (payable at shop) suitable for all ages
  • twin seat trikes and a quad train (all ages)
  • a giant jumping pillow (Over 7's)
  • an advanced trike track (Over 11's)
  • and new for 2010, a huge covered play area with seating for parents

 

Play area prices may vary throughout the year. Loyalty cards like our new Ultimate Play pass £8 and Ride, Slide & Bounce pass £5 (not incl quad train), offer great value. Please call to check out the weather if concerned, as our play bands are non refundable in the event of rain.
