Mole Valley Farmers store in Cirencester and Penzance enjoys major refurbishment

Mole Valley Farmers has linked up with UK barbecue expert, food influencer and cookery book author Marcus Bawdon to promote their fresh food and drink expansion. Marcus is internationally renowned for his barbecue expertise and he runs the UK BBQ School near his home in Cullompton, Devon.

He tells us, "I'm a big fan of Mole Valley Farmers and I was impressed by the food offered at my local store. There are some top-quality meat and dairy products and they stock everything you need for a decent barbecue."

Marcus filmed at the Cullompton store using equipment and food from the store including the Mole Valley Farmers' own-brand cheddar which is hand-turned by the oldest surviving cheddar makers in the world using west country milk; Westaways sausages and an award-winning pickle from Waterhouse Fayre.

Mole Valley Farmers were keen to raise awareness of their food and drink offering after opening fresh food and drink departments in 14 of their stores offering everything from meat and milk to baked goods and beers. Both the Cirencester and Penzance stores have recently undergone major refurbishments and now boast brand-new fresh food and drink departments. Penzance store manager, Tamsin Thomas, said: "Everybody loves it. We have new food and drink department, packed full of Cornish products and selling local bread, Trink milk, groceries and local gin and ciders."
