A farm estate has come up with a novel way of attracting food lovers in a rush.

The Rhug Estate between Corwen and Bala will officially open its new ‘drive-thru’ on Thursday (tomorrow) with Welsh Government minister for environment, energy and rural affairs, Lesley Griffiths AM, doing the honours.

The farm is renowned for its quality organic meat including beef, lamb, chickens, turkeys, geese, wild bison, and Japanese Sika deer. The new ‘drive-thru’ is positioned at the entrance to the farm, situated on the busy A5 road.

Visitors to Rhug who are short of time can visit the ‘drive-thru’ to buy homemade Rhug goods.

Lord Newborough, owner of Rhug Estate, said: “We are grateful to the Minister for agreeing to officially open the ‘drive-thru’. In this busy world we live in I recognise that not everyone has the time to stop and enjoy a delicious meal in our Bistro or quick burger at the take away, so the new ‘drive-thru’ complements the facilities that we already have and provides an easy, quick, solution to the hungry traveler who wants to get back on their journey without delay.

“Thank you to the locals and holiday makers who have visited us already and have made us a regular stop off on their journeys.”

In line with Rhug Estate’s sustainability policy all the packaging used at the ‘drive-thru’ is compostable.
