Love local this month at Cobbs Farm Shops
Celebrate with Fine Food & Drink from Local and British Producers
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and what better way to show your love than with a thoughtfully prepared, home-cooked meal? Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner for two, a cosy night in, or a gathering with friends, we have everything you need at Cobbs to make it truly special.
But this year, why not spread the love even further? By choosing to shop local, you’re not just treating your loved ones, you’re also supporting incredible independent farmers, cheesemakers, brewers, chocolatiers, and artisan producers right here in the UK. Every purchase helps sustain small businesses, protect traditional craftsmanship, and support sustainable food production.
For those extra finishing touches to help you plan a Valentine’s to remember, here’s a handpicked selection of our favourite local and British treats:
Have yourselves a “Wellington Night In”
Looking to impress this Valentine’s Day? Nothing says romantic indulgence quite like one of our handmade Beef Wellingtons - the ultimate showstopper for your date night dinner.
Crafted with care using grass-fed fillet of beef, a rich mushroom pâté, and wrapped in golden, flaky pastry, our Beef Wellingtons are made with love (of course). Simply egg-wash, bake until beautifully crisp, and serve with seasonal sides from our farm shop for an unforgettable meal.
Beef Wellingtons – £29.99 each

Top Tip:
For the perfect hassle-free side, head to our freezers and pick up a delicious and nutritious ready-made dish from Field Goods. Their sustainably crafted meals are the ideal match for our handmade Beef Wellingtons. We highly recommend their Dauphinoise or Hasselback potatoes, and Miso Buttered Cabbage.
for the cheese lover
Baron Bigod – A traditional brie-style cheese, handmade in the UK using raw milk from Montbéliarde cows. Rich, oozy, and utterly decadent, a true showstopper on any cheese board.
Ford Farm Cheese Hearts – Delicious Cheddar cheese in a perfectly formed wax heart, made by award-winning Dorset cheesemakers.
Tracklements Chilli Jam – Sweet, fiery, and utterly addictive. This heart-shaped jar of spicy jam is the ideal pairing for cheese, meats, or even a cheeky spoonful straight from the jar!
Toast to Love with English Sparkling Wine
Alder Ridge Sparkling
Grown on the vines at our Hungerford Farm Shop in Berkshire, then lovingly produced by award-winning winery Hatingley Valley in Hampshire, this exceptional English Sparkling Wine comes in two varieties:
Rosé – A delicate, fruity rosé with lively bubbles.
Classic Blanc de Noirs – Rich, elegant, and beautifully balanced.
Both are perfect for a romantic evening!
