Went a couple of weeks back with my two-year-old and one-year-old to pick some strawberries. The picking experience was okay - not brilliant. Perhaps we arrived too early on in the season. The strawberries themselves were small and pretty tasteless, but given the inexpensive price to purchase, you can't complain. You get what you pay for. In truth, I think we were spoilt by what I would consider a much better overall experience, up the road in Tamworth, at Manor Farm Fruits. Much larger, juicier strawberries, available for picking at a reasonable height for kids and adults alike. They're on what I can only describe as "planters", so no need to bend or crouch. Not only that, there are tonnes of excellent quality strawberries to pick from. This does come at a significantly higher price compared to the cost of Scaddows' strawberries; however, that premium is justifiable - as is the extra fuel cost to get there. I had high hopes for Scaddows, but unfortunately, it failed to deliver, when compared to Manor Farm. If you want a fun morning out with the kids, you'll still have a good time at Scaddows - you just might not get as good a quality and range of strawberry to pick from, in comparison to Manor Farm.
