A farm shop in Norfolk that champions local produce has been named among the best in the UK. 

Forget Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm Shop, The Times has been ranking its picks for the top seven with a Norfolk spot proving there are great options outside the Cotswolds.

The Goat Shed in Honingham, located just off the A47 between Dereham and Norwich, opened in February 2021 following a £250,000 investment.

The shop is the product of Sam Steggles and his wife Caroline after he started producing award-winning goat's cheese from his own herd around 15 years ago.

Mr Steggles said: "Our humble beginnings in a garden shed supplying essential produce became a lifeline to local people at the height of the pandemic in 2020."

In June the shop embarked on a huge expansion, opening a butchery, bakery and deli counter in the neighbouring barn.

The Goat Shed stocks a range of local ingredients including its own Wensum White and Norfolk Mardler cheeses.

The shop is open 8am to 6pm Monday to Saturday and 9.30am to 4pm on Sundays.
