Ciabatta believe we've got some delicious additions to the menu this week. This starter and main may not leave mushroom for dessert, but where there's a will, there's a way! Don't be a sausage, come and try them. That's enough with the foods puns; no more, that's shallot. 😉

- Sausage & Cheddar Ciabatta with Red Onion Chutney. Served with Skinny Fries and House Slaw

- Truffled Mushroom, Parmesan, & Shallot Flatbread

Pop in or book a table via the link on our page. Available whilst stocks last.

Food puns in limited supply.

🐮🌸 Oops!! We’ve had a little date switch! 🌸🐮

Our Flaming June Highland Cow was originally planned for 17th June, but due to a diary clash with a corporate event🤦‍♀️, we’ve had to move it to:

NEW DATE
Flaming June Highland Cow
🌸Thursday 25th June🌸
6.30pm at The Wayfarer, Parbold

All existing tickets have been transferred to the new date, so don’t worry, your places are reserved! If the new date doesn’t suit, of course a full refund can be arranged.

There are still tickets available, so come and join us for our blooming gorgeous Highland cow painting night.

Fully guided, no experience needed, no freehand drawing required, and plenty of freedom to add your own colour, florals and personality. We always get absolutely beautiful results with this one, the kind of painting you’ll be proud to take home.

“Where flowers bloom so does hope.” - Lady Bird Johnson

Whether in The Gardens, Ceremony Room, and Restaurant of Ashfield House; or in the beer garden and dining rooms of The Wayfarer, we love using flowers to bring colour and comfort to our spaces.

These flowers were picked from our garden last week by our resident gardener Phil (Just The Place To Grow) and brought inside in The Wayfarer. But what happens next?

The first flower is Astrantia, and is destined for The Long Border at the front of Ashfield House, as well as being dried and hung up in The Original Dining Room at The Wayfarer.

The second flower is Nepeta, also known as 'Catmint', and that's also heading for The Long Border, as well as plenty of cuttings being taken as table decoration at The Wayfarer. Nepeta will also be making a continued appearance in The Wayfarer beer garden over the summer months as (aside from looking pretty) it's a magnet for bees and other pollinators, and helps promote biodiversity, something we're very keen on!

If you want to see more behind the scenes of what we're growing, where it goes, and how it's maintained, be sure to follow Phil at on Instagram (you won't regret it, he's very funny!)
