Meet John & Lesley
John and Lesley Berry retired from the Cholmeley Arms and Berry’s Farm Shop in July 2023, but retirement hasn’t suited John. With a lifelong background in hospitality and food production, John has really missed running the farm shop. He and Lesley are now stepping into a new venture at Grimsthorpe, in a stunning location, bringing their passion and expertise to this brand new farm shop set in the heart of the estate.
John and Lesley are committed to supporting local farms and stocking the finest locally sourced produce. Their goal is to make fresh, local ingredients, including venison and game from the Grimsthorpe Estate, more accessible to visitors.
The shop will also feature giftware from Grimsthorpe Castle, giving customers a one-stop shop for both produce and beautiful souvenirs.
