The Duck House farm shop grand opening this weekend in Rivelin Valley

The Duck House farm shop logoA family-run farm shop relaunches in Rivelin valley this weekend, offering meat from their own farm and a range of Sheffield-sourced produce.

The Duck House is based at Coppice House Farm and was previously Coppice House Farm Shop. New owners Tom and Jess Ducker are no strangers to the business, with Tom’s father and grandfather both once responsible for running the old shop. Jess previously owned Gerty’s Pork and was previously named a  Sheffield food hero.

Tom and Jess explained: “We’re focused on quality local produce, that’s why all the meat we sell is straight from our own farm and butchered on site to give you the freshest and finest produce.

“We’re keen to support other local businesses therefore all the other great products you’ll see at The Duck House are sourced from Sheffield – or the nearest we can get.”

“With our on site butcher Frank, if you want a specific cut of meat to try that new recipe we can do it for you right then and there.”

The Duck House farm shop opened with a soft launch last weekend and and will have its official opening over the coming weekend (12-13 April 2014).

Opening times are Thursday-Saturday 9am-5pm and Sunday 10am-3pm.

Broomhill roadworks cause major delays

Broomhill roadworks cause major delays
Roadworks in Broomhill caused major delays this morning

Roadworks and temporary traffic lights have caused major bottlenecks through Broomhill this morning.

Emergency work by Northern Powergrid is taking place to repair a cable fault outside On-A-Roll sandwich shop causing power loss to local businesses. Only one lane of traffic is able to pass through at a time.

Earlier today, the 51 bus was diverted in both directions, bypassing Weston Park and the university stops.

The map on roadworks.org shows progress with the repair, although there is no firm indication yet how long it will take.

Update 2pm: reports that Broomhill is now clear of the works and there are no longer any major hold ups.
