The owners of a new farm shop have celebrated opening their shop at the weekend.   

The Trough in Silchester showcases a huge selection of local produce, including food drink and treats from local suppliers. Celebrating British produce, the new venture will be open 7 days a week.

The event saw a ribbon cutting, before members of the public were invited to an 'End of Summer Market',  which took place throughout the afternoon.

They added: "The Kitchen Garden will be the main source for what’s on our shelves, along with locally sourced items, and a few things from further afield if they tickle our fancy. We’ll be open daily for your takeaway drinks or snacks. We do have a few outdoor seats for warmer weather."

The shop will also stock fresh food, baked goods, gourmet treats, gifts, along with wine, beer, and Silchester Farm spirits.
