Welcome

Halfway between Blackburn and Kintore, Boghead Farm is a working family farm, and Marshall's is its shop and kitchen: a place to eat well and fill a basket with food that has come a very short way.

The farm shop sells the family's own vegetables, free-range eggs and fresh meat from its butchery, alongside local products from around the North East. The bakery turns out bread and cakes, with desserts and ice creams too.

The kitchen is a big, bright room of brick and stone with every kind of seat: booths, a breakfast bar, long benches for families, and lounge chairs round a wood burner. Breakfasts run through the morning, then soups, sandwiches and main meals, with coffee and cake all day and afternoon teas to book. Outside, the covered fireside bothy welcomes dogs. It opens every day except over Christmas and New Year, and only afternoon tea needs booking.
