The first Onions have been gently lifted from our Kitchen Garden

Onions are the staple that build the foundations of incredible flavour
These beauties are ‘Autumn Champion’
Glistening like amber in the Midsummer’s heat

They will hang proudly for 2-4 weeks, swaying in the dry breeze before platting and storing for use at home & on our tasting menus

✨Our Midsummer Menu is here!✨

As swallows fly high in the warm air, hedgerows are alive and buzzing. Meadows bloom and sigh as they’re kissed with golden sunlight.
The season of abundance is here.

The Midsummer in Britain offers a glorious array of produce.
Local growers provide us with a beautiful bounty of organic fruits and vegetables.
We gather wild foods gently in the evening light and harvest from our very own Kitchen Garden and orchard.
