With PHASE ONE of our new premises open and ready for you to browse we'd like you to take a moment to check out our expanded range and perhaps try some of our new recipe ideas. Daylight is fast disappearing but there's no reason to be gloomy. We can admire the colours as the trees shed their leaves and look forward to a season of comfort food. Evenings in front of the fire with a glass of wine and a pile of toast and pate, especially if like me, you have a coal fire and a toasting fork: mmm...!
If you have friends visiting add a cheeseboard and gourmet biscuits for an informal evening. We are always ready to give help and advice about your selection and can even make up a cheeseboard for you. Look out for our new range of slate cheeseboards which should be in stock very soon. They will also make excellent gifts for the cheese lovers among your friends and family.
