Hollies Farm Shop has announced it will temporarily close its takeaway café on weekends to accommodate a surge in visitors. The change is expected to ensure a smooth running of the site during "extremely busy weekends."

The much-loved farm shop in Little Buydwort, Cheshire, is a big hit thanks to its seasonal items. Visitors can shop for everything from giant pumpkins and spooky decorations to a massive selection of festive items at Christmas.

The farm shop sees people travel all over for gifts, freshly baked treats and groceries, and was inundated with customers after influencer Molly-Mae Hague visited the store. Due to its popularity, the shop has decided to close its café but will extend its weekday food service hours in return.

A statement shared online promised the Farm Shop and Gift Barn will remain open, and that the team are "so grateful for the overwhelming support." The statement read: "Due to the extremely busy weekends and large volume of visitors we’ve had to make the difficult decision to temporarily close our Takeaway Café at Little Budworth (CW69ES) on Saturdays and Sundays to ensure the smooth running of the site and the well-being of our team and customers. This is to help alleviate some of the pressure on parking to make it a more pleasurable visit for you.

"We are so grateful for the overwhelming support from all of you who have made the journey to Cheshire to visit The Hollies Farm Shop and other local businesses over the past few weeks and of course, our loyal local customers, thank you for your patience and understanding.
