"I’ve now ordered cakes and scones from Struther Farmhouse twice during the lockdown period, although it would have been more often if I’d discovered they were doing this earlier! I saw their advert on a local Facebook page and they are only a ten to fifteen minute drive away from me. They release the menu for the weekend on a Tuesday and you can call or text to pre-order for pick up. They offer meals and other items as well as the cakes and scones. You can drop in for cakes but have to pre-order meals. So far we’ve had plain and fruit scones, strawberry tarts, mars bar crispy cake, caramel and Malteser tarts and I also bought two Father’s Day gift bags with jam and shortbread this weekend. The scones are HUGE, but they are not dry and crumbly like some can be, they are still very soft the next day. All the cakes have been delicious, so fresh and really good size, you definitely get value for money. The set up at the farmhouse is really organised, they serve from a window and have a table set up showing other items that can be purchased, e.g. toilet rolls, strawberries, nectarines, jam, eggs, juice, etc. Ruth and her Mum are really friendly and it’s lovely that they have set this up during lockdown. They are clearly popular as both times I’ve been there has been a number of other customers at the same time as me. They take both cash and card payments, just take your own bag along to take your purchases away. I’ve never been here for a meal but I’ll definitely try it once some state of normality returns and they are able to open again."
