Another Bank Holiday and we’re open all the way through. We still have some tables available for Breakfast and Lunch tomorrow, on Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday. Why not join us for some lovely seasonal treats, some fantastic fresh fish and a relaxing space away from the hurly burly of the Coronation? In the shop …
The forecast may not be for balmy weather – it is after all an English Bank Holiday! – but we are open all weekend for breakfast and lunch Friday to Monday and for dinner on Friday and Saturday evenings. Where better to spend a few hours as the weather warms up and our gardens are …
The beauty keeps on coming… lots more flowers in the garden, the shop and, as above, decorating the tables in the restaurant! Not only flowers of course, the whole farm is springing to life and, for the first time this year the question in the kitchen has not been “How do we find enough of …
So many beautiful flowers this week. We have a glorious selection of tulips from the glasshouses together, increasingly, with flowers from the cutting garden. Tulips, Anemones, Narcissi and Ranunculus – a full selection of our spring flowers – all available to buy online or in the shop. On the food side we have at last …
It may have been a particularly long wait this year (we normally have our first blooms ready for Mothering Sunday!) but our Tulips are in glorious bloom – glasshouse flowers now with the cutting garden flowers just starting. Not only Tulips but Narcissi, Anemones and the first Ranunculus are all in flower. We have beautiful …
As the eagle-eyed among you will have noticed, four of our chatty Middlewhite pigs made the trip to Long Compton last week so we have lots of Sausages and Pork for sale! This is the first time we have had Midlewhite Pork available and, as those who visited last Sunday can attest, this pork is …
For the first time this year, we have a delivery of sparklingly fresh seafood arriving from Cornwall tomorrow morning. Tomorrow is, of course, St Patrick’s Day and although our oysters are from Essex – Maldon Rock Oysters – not Ireland we felt that abundant seafood was the best way to celebrate Ireland’s patron saint. Many …
All on hold in the garden again this week. Spring is about to spring and may well be spectacular when it comes but these continued cold snaps and night frosts are delaying most growth … buds are swelling, shoots are up but almost everything is on hold. Nothing, however, delays the bloom of the Mirabelles …
No apologies for focusing on Alliums again this week. It is, after all, St David’s day tomorrow and, with due deference to a certain Secretary of State, some of us do crave local and seasonal vegetables – particularly our Leeks! We may not have fresh turnips this week but we are serving a zingy, Lebanese …
Lots of alliums on the menu this week. Firstly the unusual but delicious Calcots – a favourite in Catalonia. Indeed, due to the frosts this winter, the Calcots we have on the menu are from Spain this week. Charred on the griddle so the outer skins are black and the hearts meltingly sweet, we serve …
