Celebrate a very special Christmas at Darts Farm

Darts Farm, near Exeter, Devon, is the perfect place to get into the Christmas spirit with everything you could possibly need all under one roof. 

Whether you're shopping for your Christmas food, drinks and gifts, enjoying a delicious meal in one of their eateries or attending a festive event.

The Food Hall offers a unique shopping experience that champions local foods and drinks, which has been sourced from their own farm and other incredible, passionate artisans. At the butchery counter, you'll find the best in home-grown, dry-aged beef and locally reared turkeys, with the master butchers on hand to offer advice on the best cuts and how to cook the meats. 

And their deli is brimming with the best British farmhouse cheese and charcuterie; with perfect pairings just around the corner in the drinks cellar. Indulgent treats such as panettone, stollen and Christmas puddings fill the shelves; all crafted by local and like-minded artisans. 

The result is an unparalleled selection of award-winning food and drink, perfect for creating fabulous festive feasts or wonderful Christmas gifts.

You'll also find incredible bean-to-bar chocolate which is actually crafted on site by their very own in-house chocolatier. Their single origin bars, handcrafted truffles and chocolate creations are made using sustainably sourced cacao beans from specially selected small scale growers in the world's best regions. 

They are also proud to be one of the few UK producers to craft chocolate from bean to bar. In small batches, they roast the beans, before cracking the shell to release the nib. Then they grind the nibs for up to 55 hours before ageing their chocolate for 2-3 weeks. 

Finally, they melt it down to create bars, truffles and all things chocolatey which you can buy in store as well as online for national deliveries. The perfect gift for any chocolate lover is Darts Farm's Cow & Cacao Chocolate Lover's Hamper (£22). This hamper contains a 30g Single Origin Bar, a 150g Broken Chocolate Slab and a 150g bag of Chocolate Buttons.

The Farm Table, their fantastic new flagship restaurant, showcases the best produce available from the farm and shop.

It celebrates the simplicity of beautiful ingredients grown, reared, caught and crafted on their doorstep. What they cannot grow themselves on the farm, they source from their vibrant community of like-minded artisan producers, farmers and fisherman who share their passion for flavour, seasonality & sustainable, traditional methods. 

The menu includes their iconic Ruby Red beef, dayboat fish and seasonal vegetables, all cooked over charcoal and accompanied by wines from their own Pebblebed Vineyards, plus an amazing selection of beers, ciders and spirits from the cellar. Join your friends and family for a Christmas meal or book your place at The Farm Table's Festive Indulgence Evening on 29th November. 

Just over the hedge from where they graze their Ruby Red Cattle, you'll find Darts Farm's Pebblebed Vineyard where they produce their award-winning sparkling and still wines. They are one of very few single estate producers; growing their grapes and producing their wines in the same place. 

And why not treat someone to a bottle of their fabulous fizz or stock up on a mixed case or two for the festive season. Their collection includes still white, red and rosé wine as well as sparkling white and rosé.

As always, there will be a packed calendar of Food and Drink Events at Darts Farm in December, including a Christmas Masterclass Evening, Willow and Wreath Masterclasses and a Carol Service.
