Abbey Parks Farm, Lincolnshire

This being a farm shop and cafe, meat is high priority on the menu, but possibilities for vegetarians are far from sparse. There's a vegetarian breakfast, for a start, and of course the usual jacket potatoes and sandwiches. I went for the mozzarella and roast vegetable ciabatta, which was very nice, though I could swear the cheese was Edam rather than mozzarella.
The best things, though, is the farm shop, with plenty of vegetables and nice things in bottles and jars that you'd be hard put to find in even Waitrose or Marks and Spencer - and this is out in the sticks. I came away with a jar of Bearnaise sauce, another of mango and lime curd, and a bottle of quince wine.
Find this place on the A17 at East Heckington, near Boston. www.abbeyparks.co.uk
