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... See more

Our chickens stayed at the farm

Our chickens stayed at the farm whilst we were on holiday,their dietary requirements were all adhered to,and they were returned happy and healthy.Very reasonably priced and warm and comfortable accomodation We would not hesitate to use them again. (The eggs from there are pretty good too!)

A fantastic experience

My sister Vicki and I went along for the class on looking after your chickens. It really helped because I had a bad case of red mite in my coop and Jason explained what to do and what products were useful. He was very knowledgeable and experienced and so nice. The setting was just lovely and I really wanted to take all the chickens home. I would certainly recommend Mantel Farm if you want to know anything about keeping chickens. I am now looking forward to some of their other courses.

I ordered some fertile eggs from Manor farm. I had to email to ask a question and although they didn't reply immediately when they did Dan was very helpful and happy to give me advice. My broody hen will be thrilled when her eggs hatch.

Fabulous

Great service and very helpful staff. Lovely healthy hens all at point of lay. My grandchildren loved being able to chose their own hen. Thank you Mantel Farm.

Buyer Beware

Bought a chicken and a cockrel at the South of England Show this year. Deliberated about the cockrel but Jason said ANY problem and they would gladly take him back as this bird was excellent temperment. Regretably due to neighbours complaining we made the 170 mile round trip next day to take him back to the farm. Reception there was unwelcomng and reluctant, No refund.

It is such a shame that you felt you could not keep such a lovely cockerel. Had you contacted us to let us know you would like to return him we would of course made arrangements for his return during our shop hours. However we were taken by surprise to have you knocking the door of our home the very next morning after the show (when the farm was closed); we had been working most of the night dismantling and unpacking our show stand and so apologise if we seemed unwelcoming but to be woken up by your knocking took us by surprise. Our reluctance was simply due to having to set up a pen for an unexpected arrival on a day we had planned to rest.

Fantastic all round

Good selection of products, great service, and incredibly friendly and helpful people. I drive well out of my way to get my supplies from here. 5* all around!

Bees

I first attended a course on bee keeping in 2019 that was so useful and helpful that it convinced me to keep bees but along came CV-19 that put me back a bit meaning that I didn’t acquire my hives until the spring of 2021 but since then I have introduced the bees who are thriving even though the conditions have not been too good
Naturally I acquired all my equipment from Mantle’s Farm and they were very helpful in helping me to select the right hives and made sure I had all the required equipment.
If I have any concerns is that the shop is only open on Fridays and Sundays and although you can phone and place an order you have to collect and it might be helpful if there was a delivery/postal service as I live about 45 minutes drive away and driving is not very eco friendly
Hope this helps

Our postage charges are a true reflection of the costs to us, unfortunately some of our items are large and heavy and so postage difficult. As a small business we do not benefit from the bulk postage discounts larger companies receive. All our items are also available for collection from our shop.

We went to Mantle farm to purchase some…

We went to Mantle farm to purchase some pekin bantams. Such friendly owner and staff, very knowledgeable. We took our time choosing and came away with 3 bantams, my children are delighted. Was so impressed with the whole experience, would definitely recommend
Thank you 👍

Thank you for delivery of my order. Excellent quality goods and a kind and courteous delivery. I will be returning to order more from this lovely friendly farm. From Catherine in Dymchurch.

Excellent service and nice people!

Well-organised website, easy to use and to "pre-order". Very pleasant, kind and helpful young man on duty when I went to collect my quails. The quails are beautiful and quite clearly in tip top condition. Overall - very pleased with everything. Only downside was finding Mantel Farm - just wish your sign was a bit bigger and brighter under the trees.

5 star service

Had a little difficulty finding the farm but a phone call resolved that. Fabulously clean and well managed. Chose my hens and stocked up with feed and pecking blocks. Couldn’t have had a better experience would thoroughly recommend. Will certainly visit again if and when I decide to add to my little flock.
