Back after a successful trip with DebP... they hadn't got Charlotte or Pink Fir.. they were ordered but didn't arrive!! I wasn't after either though, already got Charlotte and grow Anya rather than PFA, but PFA is a better taste. Got Moulin Rouge... looks like a red Anya instead!  :)

Neither of those had sold out when we left and they do keep "fresh" stock back for the Sunday crowd. Get there early to avoid disappointment. If you can afford 60p a tuber they have some micro propagated "Aura" a French Salad potato which is excellent!
( Normal tubers 18p each, Sarpo 20p)

Oh and watch out for the speed camera on the London Road... got flashed which should make it an expensive day out!!
