We have been wanting to keep you up-to-date with news from the Store and Cafe for ages and have finally set up this blog which we will be refreshing on a monthly basis. It will keep you in touch with all the seasonal foods coming in to the Store, help you take advantage of any offers and alert you to specials on the Cafe menu board.
July is one of the most exciting months in the calendar for vegetables and fruit and the store is full of locally grown strawberries, gooseberries, carrots and summer cabbage. We use a supplier who works with nearby small holdings and farms with the result that there is little time wasted between gathering the produce and selling it to you. This is an issue for supermarkets who despite their best efforts are simply not able to replicate this quest for freshness and low food miles. Enjoy it!
Those of you who have visited our Cafe will know that there is a synergy between the food we stock in the Store and the ingredients used next door. Expect to be offered Cornish Crab salads, creamy baked cheesecake with raspberries and scones with Southwell strawberries. We are busy planning our Autumn menu when we hope to also be open on some evenings.
Not everyone who pops in to the Store is a food shopper. Our greeting card selection is very comprehensive with some great humorous cards that have customers in stitches in the hallway. More recently we have introduced homewares and jewellery. Come over in the next couple of weeks and scoop up a new range of summer handbags at excellent prices. Fancy something in shocking pink and black? We have it!
See you soon.
