Mini Green Egg

 Baked celeriac is brought to the table in a mini Big Green Egg, sliced and scooped out with hazelnut, hollandaise, celery and wood sorrel.  A real treat and a superb meal. @Midsummerhouse

 Check out the interesting evening menu - Ox heart, Pig's Fry, Game and hammies (some sort of potato in stock).

Attracting Attention

Owls outside Coffee Aroma in Lincoln.  Crocodiles at the Eccentric Englishman tearoom at Johnsons of Old Hurst Farmshop in Huntingdon.  How are you attracting attention?

Bye Bye Barefoot

The wonderful Storytellers Cafe at Barefoot Books in Oxford is closing for good just before Christmas.  Barefoot plan on sticking to publishing childrens books and no longer want to operate a cafe for children and their parents.  This means they are selling a complete cafe's worth of kit - https://www.barefootbooks.com/files/7314/4690/3103/Oxford_Studio_furniture_sale_with_photos_PDF_Sheet1.pdf

The kitchen equipment is only a few months old as someone reversed their Mercedes into the kitchen, narrowly avoiding the chefs and resulting in a new kitchen fit out!  Let them know if interested and no, we are not on commission.  Sad that a great childrens cafe is closing - see it or buy it!

Fish Balls

Fishballs at Albion join Scotch Eggs and Arancini as easy to eat savoury snacks.  @AlbionLdn

Hot Chocolate offered in dark, milk and white versions at Peloton cycle cafe in Spitalfields.  @PelotonCo
