LSB makes an appearance in the Guardian's guide to enjoying the region's best food in the style of Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon - but with a significantly smaller budget!
“"There's more to northern gastronomy than fine dining, and there are even, if you're canny, ways of getting close to its Michelin stars at a fraction of the cost. Here's the Guardian's guide to taking The Trip on a budget...If you are self catering stock up en route at Low Sizergh Barn farm shop."”

Our Farm Shop converts a supermarket shopper...tasting the difference really does work!
“We called into your farm shop on our last day to save me going to the supermarket when I got home. What a brilliant shop you have, there was a great range of foods, I only called in for a 'few bits' but got carried away buying a bit of all sorts. We took home part of the Lakes with us and have enjoyed your food for several days. You've even encouraged me to find a farm shop in my area.”

Jo Tinsley editor of Countryfile Magazine and Kath Dalmeny Director of Policy at Sustain listed LSB in their Top 50 Farm Shops in The Independent
“'The journey from field to fork is short at Low Sizergh Barn,' says Jo. 'You can watch cows being milked from the café while you drink your tea. As well as cheese and deli goodies, they sell gifts and clothing from their 17th-century barn and it's a wonderfully atmospheric place to shop.' Kath is also a fan.”
