Gates Farm Shop & Butchery

A journey from our farm to your table

At Gates Garden Centre, we believe that food tastes best when it comes straight from the farm. And we’re dedicated to bringing you that authentic experience every time you visit our Farm shops at Gates Oakham and Woodlands Hinckley.

Explore our selection of succulent beef and lamb, raised on Gates Farm in Cold Overton, offering a true taste of our village. You’ll discover a carefully curated selection of seasonal fruits and vegetables all offered package-free, allowing you to choose exactly what you need while reducing waste. Alongside freshly baked goods, and a range of pantry essentials.
