FROM THE KITCHEN – SEPTEMBER 2011

This September is unusual because we are losing so many of our team to university.  Whilst we are excited for them leaving home and starting on their new lives as students we are sad to see them go and will miss them all.  Best wishes to Annie, Daisy, Joe,  Julia, Lizzie and  Ryan and we hope to see you again during the holidays.

Blaine and the team have been working hard all summer using our kitchen garden for inspiration.  As Autumn draws in and the crop of vegetables from our plot diminishes we are lucky to have a whole range of wild and foraged fungi and herbs just coming into season. We’re also looking forward to the game season when we’ll be adding game and venison sourced from our neighbours at Lydney Park Estate.

In the meantime we have added organic lamb to the menu from Crooked End Farm just down the road.  Click the link below to read the blog about their amazing organic farm.
