We asked our Resident Chef, Andy, if he had any tasty tips, personal favourites and special techniques when it comes to preparing for Christmas. Well, silly question, of course he does. He wouldn’t be responsible for innovation if he didn’t have a delicious tip or two. Enjoy these …
What do you think of when you think of Bonfire Night? Hot dogs, jacket potatoes, warming soup and stews perhaps – or swirling smoke, crackling fireworks and the underfoot crunch of Autumn leaves. Autumn is a season of distinctions – colour, smells and hearty warming family food.

British Cheese. Did you know that we produce more cheese than France? There are over 700 named cheeses, each so lovingly made in the UK. Like fine wines, ales and malts, cheese flavours and textures depend on so many natural, local variations in ingredients, climate, methodology etc…

We love our BBQs, even if all too often, the weather doesn’t. Some like ’em hot; some like them a little more sophisticated, cool; some enjoy a bit of both so, let’s share and enjoy some delicious ideas for BBQs and Al Fresco dining. Marinade, dress, grill, cook – enjoy.
Getting ‘Out & About’ doesn’t have to take you far because, quite often, there is so much to discover and enjoy on our doorstep. So, out we go for picnics, barbecues and al fresco dining; take in the local points of interest, play tourist, visit your local Farm Shops. ENJOY.

If you haven’t done it already it’s time to drag the old BBQ out from the shed, dust off your trusted tongues and see if you’re lucky enough to enjoy the unpredictable English weather. We are supporting RSPCA Assured BBQ Week which highlights the quality of British farm husbandry under their guidance.
