Pinecreek Farmstall – a must for lovers of farm-style food!
Pinecreek Farmstall is coming into it’s own with some fantastic ‘foodie’ offerings you don’t want to miss.
The Pinecreek Restaurant and children’s party venue are well known to anyone and everyone who enters the East London city limits, however their Farmstall until recently, maybe not quite as much. If you however are one of the many who may have browsed in the past, never to return… let this be a head’s up … you are missing out!
The Farmstall situated conveniently in the heart of Beacon Bay, just 2 minutes from the highway, has got new verve, and has become a little treasure trove of foodie items, over and above their wide range of handmade local artisan gifts and products.
As lovers of all things food, we know that East Londoners will delight in the fresh fruit and produce now available at the Farmstall. Not a huge range yet mind you, but what they have is great quality at really good prices. My credit card sang at my last visit and my refrigerator boasts some prime farm produce, disappearing so fast it appears a salad and veggie thief may be at work.
If you love sauces, coffee, honey or have a sweet tooth, this is a little treasure trove that deserves a visit. From pickled onions to archar, red & green pesto to delicious homemade sweet jams, the new foodie ‘focus’ at the Pinecreek Farmstall makes this a must place to visit.. or re-visit if you have been before.
There are many reasons to do a bit of foodie shopping here! Firstly, where could you find a better venue to shop? The location is central, easy to get to and … absolutely gorgeous. Second, it is the perfect excuse to relax and enjoy a hot cuppa joe …! Third, the parking is a breeze, with not a car guard in sight.
But having said all that, there are 2 BUDGET BOOSTING reasons you absolutely MUST visit the Pinecreek Farmstall for some foodie shopping.
Reason 1, their frozen pies. Yes, you heard it right here. For a mere R79.00 you can buy a family sized steak pie, filled with the most gorgeous gravy and chunks of steak the size of your thumb … that 4 adults will battle to finish. This absolutely delicious meal for 4 at R79.00 is a budget boosting dinner that your family will love. There are also chicken and bacon options as well as smaller pie options, so you are covered for any occasion.
Reason 2… their 1.2kg loaf of farm bread. Yes folks, 1.2kg’s of pure baked bliss. If you have a young family with growing boys, this is a definite must. Throw in some of the creamy butter and homemade jam or preserves available in the farmstall and your children (you and your budget) will be happy until dinner time. Available fresh daily after 9am, make sure you don’t snooze or you are bound to loose.
