Autumnal corners of the farm 🍂 🍁Chilly sta Autumnal corners of the farm 🍂 🍁Chilly starts and mists swirling round the fields by the river - perfect Autumn mornings at the farm.This cooler sunny weather has created the ideal conditions for a fabulous display of Dahlias in the cutting garden.A real mixture of varieties and colours all clamouring for attention beyond the windows as you eat in the Glasshouse.A glorious backdrop in this clear Autumnal light even as we have to start heating the glasshouse for the first time since March.  Pompons, Waterlillies, Cactus, Peony and, of course, the preposterous Dinner Plate Dahlias in all their lurid colours will keep flowering even as the days shorten until the first frosts. Do visit before the display stops...Lots more pork on the menu this week. In addition to more fresh Tuscan Fennel Sausages we will be serving Rillettes with Pickled Fennel, Scratchings with Pickled Mirabelles, Spicy Szechuan Ribs, Shoulder Vindaloo and, of course, our signature 18-hour Roast Shoulder with Apple Sauce on Sunday.

Congratulations to @k__sohn and @sam_t_jones 🤍 Congratulations to @k__sohn and @sam_t_jones 🤍Last week we turned the farm into a celebration for some of our favourites, Katharine and Sam.There were bars dotted around the kitchen gardens, coupes of English sparkling with maraschino cherries and a whole pig was smoked!What a way to end the season 🫶
A Michaelmas goose? 🤔It is Michaelmas soon, t A Michaelmas goose? 🤔It is Michaelmas soon, the feast of St Michael, the September Quarter Day and the day on which Elizabeth 1st was so delighted to receive notification, while dining on Goose, of the final destruction of the Spanish Armada that she reportedly decreed all English folk should henceforward commemorate the happy day by eating a Roast Goose!This story may well be apocryphal but the tradition of eating a “green” goose on Michaelmas goes back, perhaps a thousand years - that, at least, is the supposed age of the Nottingham Goose Fair, held in the week of Michaelmas since the time of the Vikings and named for the thousands of Geese that were walked to Nottingham from the rich grasslands of the Fens.The other name for Michaelmas Geese - “green” Geese referring not to the colour of the animals but to their diet - these birds were tender and tasty from the grass and greenery they, like ours, had fed on all summer but had not yet put on their distinctive layer of fat from eating stored grains in the run up to Christmas.So then, we have the next event in our monthly supper club series coming up on 26th September: the Michaelmas Goose Supper Club.The full menu for the evening is here:
• Goose Liver Crostini
• Stuffed Goose Neck with Pickled Quetsche Plum
• Roast Goose, Sage and Lemon Stuffing, Spiced  Quince Sauce
• Tarte TatinTickets available at the link in our bio 🍗
Cornish “Disco” Scallops with Confit Elephant Cornish “Disco” Scallops with Confit Elephant Garlic and Linguine alle VongoleBoth on the menu this weekend 🐚We’re closed for a private hire on Saturday but book in for tonight or Sunday!
