About
Jolly Nice is a farm shop, café, bar and drive-through in an old filling station on the A419 at Frampton Mansell, between Stroud and Cirencester and about a mile and a half, as the crow flies, from Sapperton. A family of farmers runs it, and it opens every day of the year except Christmas Day.
The shop opens from 8am to 7pm and sells produce from more than 70 small farms, micro producers and artisans, chosen to make regenerative farming pay for the people who supply it. The café and bar open from 9am to 7pm, until 8pm on Thursdays and Fridays, and the drive-through from 8am to 4pm. Everything in the café and drive-through is cooked from scratch: breakfast, lunch and early supper, with day-boat fish and chips on Fridays from 4pm to 8pm and an ice-cream parlour.
There are no bookings in the café and bar; everyone is served, so just turn up. All dogs are welcome in the shop, café and bar. Through the year it runs folk music by the fire on Thursday evenings, a monthly quiz (a table of four or six for £13.50 including the booking fee, per its ticket page, starting at 7pm) and a pumpkin patch in autumn, and its spaces are for hire.
Jolly Nice puts itself ten minutes by car from Kemble station; allow a quarter of an hour. For a longer day, the Crown Inn is up the hill in the village, and the lanes lead on to Sapperton and Daneway.
