Squire’s Garden Centres’ Frensham Food Hall has won a prestigious industry award at the Garden Centre Association’s (GCA) annual conference.

The local garden centre received the award for the Garden Centre UK Food Hall/Farm Shop of the Year’2023.

A new category in this year’s awards, it has been introduced to recognise the importance of offering an alternative to supermarkets as well as promoting locally produced items across a wide product range, supporting sustainability and reducing food miles too.

Squire’s garden centre in Frensham celebrated the fifth anniversary of its ownership by Squire’s in 2023 and in this time the Food Hall has received a complete refurbishment and gone from strength to strength.

The Food Hall includes a range of locally produced and artisan food and drink products, an extensive cheese counter and expert butchers.

Sarah Squire, chairman of Squire’s Garden Centres, said the company was “honoured” to have been recognised by the Garden Centre Association.
