Definitely Autumn now…Crystal clear, chilly mornings and wild, windy storms!

So it’s definitely Autumn now!  

There are still beautiful, sunny days but these are interspersed with storms, wind and, thankfully, some proper rain – our farm and, no doubt, your gardens have been in desperate need of a good drink. It may be hard to accept that the endless, glorious summer is over but a real pleasure in the switch to a fully autumnal menu … a welcome return to the curries and braises, the slow-cooked and the rich.  

The cooler weather also allows us to start fermenting again and we have crocks full of Sauerkraut and Kimchee awaiting your pleasure both in the shop and the restaurant. Our winter workshop series launched with sold-out Sausage Making and Drawing workshops a couple of weeks ago.  Going forward, a whole set of workshops is live on the website – in particular, we have a Fermenting Workshop this Friday morning for which there are still places available – do come and join me for a hands on experience where you will learn to make Kraut and Kimchi.  Tickets for the workshop and lunch are available here.

Later, on Friday evening, I will be hosting the first Supper Club of this autumn. A celebration of seasonal game and foraging, our Hunter’s Moon Dinner is always a great success.  A roaring fire in the wood burning stove, candle light and great company. Why not join us for dinner this Friday – the full menu and tickets are available on the following link.

We look forward to welcoming you to the restaurant this sunny Sunday lunchtime or over the coming week.
