Simon's News : Simon is the 3rd generation Beckett to farm in Wythall 
28th August. Are any of you involved in choosing a venue for a wedding reception? If so have you considered Becketts? Our Farm Restaurant could be the ideal, affordable venue, at whatever time of day or evening you prefer. The restaurant can be closed to the public for the occasion or we could section off a smaller area. As with all things at Becketts the emphasis is not on what we provide, but instead on what the customer would like - it's totally bespoke. Naturally we've lots of suggestions we could offer but, if you've got your own ideas, then we're only too happy to meet them. From cakes to colour schemes, flowers to favours and balloons to bubbly - you make the choices and we make it happen. In particular our chefs delight in providing a menu that fulfils your precise requirement, beautifully cooked and exquisitely presented. For further details please see our Wedding Receptions webpage and/or phone (01564 823 402) or e-mail our Assistant Restaurant Manager, Tina Brookes, who is the dedicated contact for all wedding reception enquiries from start to finish. She would send you our Weddings Brochure. .
My sister's getting married in October. And who was the first person she called - after the family? Why, Tina, of course!
The Schedule for Children's Cookery Classes to be held during the October half term is now available. Our Bakery confectioners are also running a Halloween Kitchen during that same week when parents and children combine forces to produce the spookiest-ever carved pumpkins - plus muffin-making afterwards from the leftover bits!
About Beckett's Farm
Becketts have been farming in Wythall - just south of Birmingham - for 73 years and our mission is to bring both food and farming closer to the people. Beginning with just eggs from the farm back door we have always sold direct to the public. Today our Farm Shop employs four highly skilled butchers, six bakers and confectioners plus numerous trained assistants to supply you with the highest quality fresh meat, baked goods, greengrocery, preserves, eggs, deli produce and more.
We offer a tremendous range of sandwiches made while you wait, and a hot food counter where both snacks and whole meals are as tasty and genuine as granny used to make. If you'd like to enhance your own cooking skills our Cookery School gives regular classes geared from beginner to professional level, with childrens' parties a speciality.
Our all-day Restaurant seats up to 140 and prepares meals from the same produce that is offered in the Farm Shop. At intervals through the year and especially at Christmas it hosts special Themed Shows. The Restaurant incorporates a speciality coffee bar.
We have a Conference Centre with full facilities for up to 60 delegates and smaller rooms also available. A wide range of high quality catering options is offered by our Restaurant staff.
