Foxes Farm Produce - The Pumpkin Patch - Basildon - Essex

Nov 26th, 2022

5 each just to get in. Walked through the gate & my daughter said is it Stranger Things themed? A few dead pumpkins. Rotten sweetcorn. Granted its late in the season but shouldnt charge the same ticket price as early then. Nothing to do so 15 for 5 minutes and 12 for the only half decent 3 pumpkins we could find. Really disappointed

Its not what we had excepted. Not many fun activities for children. Waste of money.

So we travelled for over an hour to bring three excited 12 year olds to the Pumpkin Patch. We looked it up on google and saw it was.open. We didn't for one minute consider paid entry or booking. On arrival the girls were excited. They just wanted the experience of picking a pumpkin from a field and buying it, maybe a hot chocolate. We were refused entry as we hadn't booked and apparently it was closing, though others entered after us. We were spoken to in a very accusatory, patronising and parental way when we asked if we could have a quick look and buy some pumpkins. Apparently our entry would have been offensive to those who bought a ticket and assumed to be exploitative. Actually we just wanted a moment in the fresh air, a moment to experience the wow of a pumpkin field and the joy of halloween. Instead we experienced a place that had lost its human touch, if it every had it, and clearly was only interested in consumerism. We are now on our way back to london in the traffic. NB. I had to press one star to post it !!

My first ever pumpkin patch visit so dont have much to compare to but can tell that the staff arent the warmest or sympathetic. They dont have great personal skills and it is overpriced for what it is. There isnt any other entertainment just a home made rope swing, a plastic Argos slide, some hay bales and cardboard animal cutouts and tunnels.. Will be going Marsh Farm next year.
