First farm drive-thru open for business

Rhug Estate near Corwen in North Wales has made retail history this week opening the first on-farm drive-thru.

The Denbighshire farm estate is renowned for its quality organic meat that includes wild bison and Japanese Sika deer, and suppliers some of the UK’s finest restaurants.

But, in a bold diversification, the Estate is now following in the footsteps of fast food giants with a new drive-thru positioned at the entrance to the farm.

The drive-thru will serve up hot and cold drinks, sandwiches, paninis, pastries, toasties and cakes and, the ever environmentally friendly Estate has ensured that all the packaging used can be composted.

Lord Newborough, Owner of the Rhug Estate, said, “In this busy world we live in I recognise that not everyone has the time to stop and enjoy a delicious meal in our Bistro or at the takeaway. “So the new drive-thru will complement the facilities we already have and provide an easy, quick, solution to the hungry traveller who wants to get back on their journey without delay.

“This will hopefully have broad appeal to locals and holidaymakers alike.”
