Its been a great ride ... with lots of laughs, some tears, some sleepless nights trying to make sure things are as perfect as possible. The support I have had from Maria and my Mum has been enormous. I have been blessed to have such wonderful staff throughout these years. Peter has been there through thick and thin. I have met some wonderful people. I thank everyone of you. You have helped make GCF what it is today. As we move into year six I am hoping for more laughs ... and great times. Farnsy.

11.01.2022 Hi everyone. The government have announced stage 1 restrictions. In these restrictions GCF will remain OPEN. I need and wish to make some changes to extend the safety of all of us. ... 1. There will be no eating inside the shop. 2. Staff will be trained to take payment over the phone. 3. You will be encouraged to wait in your car. 4. You may be asked for your car registration number and car color and your phone number. Where possible your order will be brought to you while you wait in your car and passed through your car window. In the coming weeks I will be considering the viability into home delivery. However this may extend wait times and jeopardize food quality which is why I havent previously considered this. Please... where possible move away from the major supermarkets and support small business. Think of the staff we support by going to a butcher or a chicken shop. Take care of yourselves and your families. Farnsy

09.01.2022 Dear customers, Thankyou for your patience. Tonight will be known as the biggest challenge that GCF has ever faced with the Covid -19 restrictions and the onslaught of customers that we tried so hard to serve while complying with social distancing to maintain your safety and avoid fines. For the first time in GCF history under my hand we had no choice but to stop taking orders and turn customers away. Doing that has made me feel sick to the stomach.... I know you had a large wait. I saw you! We took steps to try and speed it up. We turned off the phones but then they came out of no where. Maybe the crowds were a result of people staying home for Easter and complying with government sanctions. Thankyou for coming. I am sorry it was such a wait. I am sorry that some people were disapointed. Congratulations to the staff. Im very proud of every one of you. That was Good Friday. Im still at the shop finishing up. Wondering what just happened. Massive thanks to Maria and Pete. The crowds had you behind the 8 ball from 3.30pm but you fought through. Farnsy x
