Mantel Farm offers so much

Mantel Farm offers so much advice for me as a back garden chicken keeper, in addition to first class birds and good quality products.
They are always friendly and even offer brilliant courses which not only educate but have a good social element too.
First class!

Mantel Farm are a beacon standing out from the rest. Lovely people with deep knowledge of bee keeping, poultry keeping and no doubt many other animal husbandry. Also very COVID sensible.

Hens from Mantels Farm.

I have been buying hens from Mantels Farm for 10 years and using their ‘chicken sitting’ service and been on a chicken owners course. I receive excellent customer service every time. I have also purchased many ancillary products as well. Jason is very approachable and takes the time to make sure all is well. The whole family are good ambassadors for hen keeping and Kerry makes delicious cake for course attendees!! It’s always been my first port of call when adding to my flock. Thank you. Celia K.

Superb course

I let slip at work that I really liked pigs, not just in a bacon sandwich with brown sauce on a Sunday morning I might add, so for my retirement present they bought me this intro to pig keeping course. What a day, fantastic insight, delivered by Ben who has a mountain of knowledge on the subject. I am now seriously researching in the hope of realising a dream. Thoroughly recommend this course to anyone that fancies the idea of keeping pigs.

Recent purchase-Excellent service

Very helpful throughout our recent purchase of four point of lay Sussex hens. We were also pleased to see that Mantel Farm catered for all hen needs ranging from equipment, feed and birds.
We have kept chicken over the past 20 years and will look to exclusively support Mantle Farm in the future.
Well done all, good old fashioned service, many thanks, Nick Johnson

Overpriced

Overpriced, probably by 50%. The course notes were wrong - the teacher actually admitted he hadn't corrected them. It seemed the course was more a vehicle for the teacher's humorous personal anecdotes than an opportunity to convey information, which was all over the place with no lesson plan. Not professional and unclear because of his strong accent. Would have been better/cheaper/easier watching a youtube video on how to make mead. Very disappointing and has put us off Mantel Farm.

Reply from Mantel Farm

Dear Katie, I am so sorry to hear you feel this way about our course and wish you had spoken to us about your feelings on the day. Steve has been running our mead course for a few years now and we have never has a bad review so your comments have taken us by surprise. We would love to understand fully what went wrong for you on this course and so will contact you directly to discuss this more. With regards to the cost, I hope you can appreciate that the cost of the honey and equipement that you take away from the course contribute a substantial amount to the course fee.
With regards
Mantel Farm

Very good company .

Very good company who sell great products, which work. I particularly can recommend their Nopex Formula for controlling those awful red spider mite that prey and , if untreated, will kill, chickens.

Mantel Farm ....Chicken Trippers (home from home)

Mantel Farm is where we buy our feed and bedding for our rescue hens.....but they also do boarding!!

A week's holiday for us was a new experience for our girls, but they behaved impeckably (!) hopefully, and laid 10 eggs....

Their boarding facility is very well organised as we expected it would be. We will be using them again next year!!

Excellent service as always

I recently ordered a gift voucher for a friend. Kerry at Mantle Farm was, as always, brilliantly responsive and went out of her way to help. Gift vouchers can be used towards any of the shop stock or towards courses so loads of things for the recipient to choose from 😊
