Using the Loo
There are no lavatories in our picking fields.
As a retailer, we don't provide toilet facilites for day to day PYO customers. We recognise the decline of PYO farms means customers are travelling from further afield, howevever we cannot meet the cost of servicing toilets without a separate charge.
Our event toilets are available only during ticketed events. We suggest that customers to the PYO make use of the many nearby public loo's a short 3 minute drive away in Addlestone before arriving at the farm.
For those with younger children, travel potties are an acceptable option, but waste must be taken away with you. It's never acceptable to use our fields or hedgerows as a loo or to dispose of potty waste in our bins.
Frequently asked questions.
Do I need a booking for the Pick Your Own?
Yes, we operate a booking system to ensure a constant supply of crops during our picking season and the number of Farm Passes available each day reflects the amount of crops available to pick in our fields.
We strongly enourage customers to make advance bookings rather than just turn up on the day. A pre-booked Farm Pass is essential to guarantee entry to our picking fields..
Please remember crops may not be eaten in the fields before paying.
How are crops priced?
The majority of our crops are sold by weight and we supply empty punnets for you to pick crops into at the entrance kiosk. When you've finished picking, we weigh your produce and take payment at the exit.
You're welcome to bring your own containers to take your crops home in, however all crops must be picked into and weighed in the punnets we provide.
Can I bring a buggy/rucksack?
No, due to the extensive damage caused to our drip irrigation system, buggies may not longer be taken into our picking fields. Buggies can be left at the entry kiosk and we recommend bringing a baby carrier (buggies are welcome in Crockford's Corner and The Avant Garden).
Large bags/rucksacks are not allowed into the PYO due to persistent theft.
Can I eat fruit in the picking fields?
Definitely not! Nothing should ever be eaten before it's weighed and paid for. Eating before paying is theft and unacceptable. We rely on crop sales to keep the farm open as a viable business.
Can I wash my fruit and veg on site?
No, the idea of PYO is to provide fresh crops for you to take home and enjoy! Fruit begins to degrade after washing so we recommend washing fruit at the last minute before eating it.
Can I bring a picnic?
No, Picnics aren't permitted anywhere on the farm. We've tried our best to accomodate this in the past but sadly have become overrun with litter. During the dry Summer months, portable BBQ's represent a severe fire risk and are never permitted on site.
Are dogs allowed?
Dogs are not permitted into our growing fields under health laws for hygiene reasons.
However dogs on leads with responsible owners are welcome in communal areas of the farm for the majority of the year (unfortunately, we don't allow dogs on the farm during our busy Pumpkin Festival.)
Registered service dogs (such as Guide Dogs) are permitted into our fields, however we reserve the right to request proof of certification.
Emotional Support Animals (ESA) are not currently recognised by UK Law and are not permitted entry to our picking fields
Are coach parties accepted?
Only, with our prior agreement. The farm is open to private customers wishing to pick fruit. Coach parties and school educational visits are accepted only with a prior booking. We reserve the right to charge an entry fee to organised tours and commercial operators (including childminders) bringing their customers to our farm. Please email us for more information general@crockfordbridgefarm.co.uk
Is there Disabled Access?
Crockford Bridge Farm is a working farm with limited hard standing areas. The majority of our site is open farmland.
We aren't able to lay permanent walkways across the farm for agricultural reasons and also because the farm lies in Greenbelt.
Many wheelchair users find the farm easily accessible during the Summer months. Access can be challenging in the Autumn and Winter months or after periods of heavy rainfall.
There is a dedicated parking area for Blue Badge holders at the entrace to the farm. During peak times, please email us in advance of your visit so we can arrange access.
What if it rains?
We don't believe in bad weather, just bad clothing choices! Please look at the weather forecast and dress appropriately. If it's rainy, wellington boots are always a good idea when visiting the farm. There's very little shade in our picking fields because crops need sunlight to ripen. If it's very hot and sunny, think about bringing a sunhat or an umbrella.
Driving to the farm
The farm is very close to J11 of the M25 and there is plenty of free parking. We ask customers to please park in our grass field car park rather than the adjacent tarmacked Garden Centre car park which is a separate business with its own parking regulations.
