How buying works

Roadside Stall is not an online shop

We help you discover what is available and where you can get it. You buy, collect, arrange delivery or contact the producer directly.

📍

Local pickup

Some producers welcome customers to a farm shop, vending machine, collection point or another exact location shown on the map.

🚚

Local delivery

Some sellers may offer local delivery within their own delivery area. Check the offer or contact the producer for details.

📦

Courier delivery

Some producers may offer courier delivery, especially for meat boxes or products that can be sent across the UK.

🔗

Producer’s own shop

If a producer sells through their own website, their Roadside Stall listing may include a direct link to buy from them there.

Roadside Stall does not take your payment and does not manage the sale. Each producer sets their own prices, availability, collection, delivery and payment arrangements.

Pickup and delivery icons

Check how each offer is available before you travel

Offers and producer profiles can show simple icons explaining how the product is available. These icons help you understand whether you can collect, book an appointment, request local delivery or arrange shipping.

🏪

Local pickup

The producer allows customers to collect from a farm shop, farm gate, vending machine, honesty box, market stall, collection point or sales point.

📅

By appointment only

The offer requires an appointment before visiting. If you tap for directions, the app can warn you first and ask you to confirm that you already have an appointment.

🛵

Local delivery

The producer may deliver locally within their own chosen area, town, village, postcode zone or delivery radius.

📦

National delivery

The producer may offer delivery across the UK using their own courier, shipping process or delivery arrangement.

🌍

International delivery

The producer may offer international shipping where suitable and legally possible for that product type.

Roadside Stall does not manage the sale, delivery or payment. Always check the offer details, opening hours, availability, collection instructions, delivery icons and contact options before travelling.
Location, directions and collection rules

Find the nearest local food spots wherever you are

Roadside Stall is built around real-world discovery. With location access enabled, the app can show offers, producers, events and farm campsites based on where you are now, sorted from nearest to furthest.

The map and lists update around your current location

If you open the app at home, you will see nearby farms, offers, vending machines, honesty boxes, events and rural places from that area. If you travel somewhere else and open the app again, the listings refresh around your new location.

This makes Roadside Stall useful when you are at home, visiting family, driving through the countryside, staying on holiday or looking for farm-gate food in a new area.

Exact map pins help avoid wasted journeys

Rural addresses can be tricky. A postcode may cover a wide area, several buildings, fields, lanes or entrances. Producers can place their map pin on the real farm gate, farm shop, vending machine, collection point, campsite, market stall or sales point.

Offer icons show pickup, delivery and appointment rules

Offers and producer profiles can show practical icons such as local pickup, by appointment only, local delivery, national delivery or international delivery. These icons help you understand how the producer wants to sell or hand over the product.

If an offer is marked as By appointment only and you tap for directions, Roadside Stall can show a warning first. You must confirm that you already have an appointment before the app opens directions. Otherwise, you can cancel and contact the producer first.

Please do not assume every listing is open for walk-in visits. Some producers are open for local pickup, some are by appointment only, some offer local delivery only, and some sell online through their own shop. Always check the listing details, opening hours, availability, delivery icons and collection instructions before travelling.

Follow farms and offers

Follow farms, watch offers and get notified when something changes

Do not wait for social media to decide what you see. Follow farms and offers on Roadside Stall to stay closer to fresh updates, short-time deals and products that come back into stock.

🔔

Follow farms

Catch short-time offers

Some producers may add special offers, flash sales or limited deals that are only available for 24 or 48 hours.

👀

Watch offers

You can also follow individual offers. If an offer disappears, sells out or becomes unavailable and later comes back into stock, you can be notified when it returns.

Following farms and offers gives you a faster line to fresh eggs, meat boxes, raw milk, milkshakes, farm shop offers, flash sales, events and seasonal produce — without relying only on Facebook or Instagram.
