Rhug Estate is set to make ‘retail history’ as its owner Lord Newborough opens a drive thru to complement the farm shop, bistro and takeaway at the entrance to the farm.
This is believed to be the first drive thru to ever be set up on a farm in the UK.
Rhug Farm is self-contained and has grown over the past 20 years to nearly 8,000 acres.
Organic beef, lamb, pork, bison, chicken, turkey, goose, and game – when in season, are reared on the site.
Rhug Farm Shop stocks almost 3,000 products from local suppliers and small businesses and also includes the sale of its own products.
The new drive thru is positioned at the entrance to the farm, situated on the busy A5 road running into north Wales, two miles west of Corwen, Denbighshire.
Visitors to Rhug who are short of time can now visit the drive thru to purchase hot and cold drinks, sandwiches, paninis, pastries, toasties and cakes.
Lord Newborough said: “In this busy world we live in I recognise that not everyone has the time to stop and enjoy a delicious meal in our bistro or at the takeaway.
“The new drive thru will complement the facilities that we already have and provide an easy, quick, solution to the hungry traveller who wants to get back on their journey without delay. This will hopefully have broad appeal to locals and holiday makers alike.”
The menu for the drive thru is available on the Rhug Estae website: https://rhug.co.uk/dining/drive-through
