Seven weeks up and running, and we’ve certainly had our highs and lows. Definitely time to say thanks for all the feedback (mainly positive we\u2019re pleased to say), comments and support. \u201cA treasure trove\u201d\u2019, \u201can Aladdin\u2019s Cave of lovely food\u201d, \u201cwe\u2019re lucky to have such a lovely shop in the village\u201d are among some of your comments, which brightens our day and makes all the continued hard work very worthwhile.<\/p>\n
Refining our product range and trying to source the very best, but affordable goods, as locally as possible is an on-going activity. We welcome your feedback as we try out new suppliers and products, which we frequently put out for sampling and tasting.\u00a0We’ve\u00a0had some great successes locally \u2013 the wholegrain mustard (Mustard Mary) and Cornish Maid pasties from Shepreth, Chocolicious cakes from Barrington, local asparagus, locally published cards and books, decorated horseshoes and reclaimed cheeseboards to name but a few. The food we make on-site is proving to be a great hit, with the sausages rolls (made with sausage meat from Barkers in Shelford and topped with Mustard Mary) heading the list. Our quiches, soups, marmalade and salads are also selling well, as are our cakes and sandwiches.<\/p>\n
Next week sees the arrival of the coffee machine<\/strong>, so you can pop in for a cappuccino, espresso, hot chocolate (all made with freshly ground coffee beans) or tea.<\/p>\n Smoked salmon, mackerel and trout \u2013 we\u2019re working with someone locally who\u2019ll be picking up fresh fish from Billingsgate Market for us regularly, enabling us to pass on a better price.<\/p>\n National Vegetarian week<\/strong> \u2013 in support of this initiative,\u00a0we’ve\u00a0had vegetarian nibbles out for tasting, together with our usual quota of vegetarian pies and quiches.<\/p>\n The very popular pizza bases<\/strong> are back! We use locally made organic pizza bases, top them with our\u00a0home-made\u00a0passata and grated cheese, so they are all ready for you to add the topping of your choice (available at the shop of course!) for those nights when you really don\u2019t want to spend much time in the kitchen, or you want a family night in with pizza, popcorn (possibly our best value for money product!) and ice-cream, not to mention that all important bottle of wine. Talking of wine, we\u2019re using a local wine merchant who has supplied us with an excellent range of wines, at good prices.\u00a0We’ve\u00a0already had so much excellent feedback on the wine, sales are on the increase, and we\u2019ll hope to put together an official tasting session over the summer.<\/p>\n Recipe in a bag<\/strong> \u2013 has been put on hold just for the moment while we get everything else up and running, but the intention is to launch that again as soon as we\u2019re ready (you get the recipe and all the ingredients in a bag, ready for you to finish off at home, with a minimum of effort, as we\u2019ll have done all the \u2018heavy lifting\u2019 \/ sauce preparation for you). There will be options for vegetarians and meat eaters, and special deals when combining the meal with a bottle of wine.<\/p>\n Place in the community<\/strong> – since opening, we\u2019ve donated a hamper to the Barrington Ball, provided Greek food for the Haslingfield school\u2019s Greek Experience, and are putting together a hamper for the Barrington School fete. We certainly hope to continue this trend.<\/p>\n Please do come and see us if you\u2019re hosting a party or event, and would like to order cheeses, meats, olives and bread in bulk. We\u2019ll be able to get these in at a good price, and will pass that savings onto yourselves.\u00a0Our fresh bread is supplied daily from Newnham Bakery \u2013 if there are any special loaves or orders, please phone us or pop in and we\u2019ll be happy to order these in for you.<\/p>\n We’ve expanded our range of store cupboard essentials to include products for the summer \u2013 now we just need the sunshine\u2026.. Salad dressings, drizzle oils, Stokes BBQ sauces and mayonnaises, coulis, lovely fruit juices, squash and cordials are among these products. Do pop in and check them out!<\/p>\n With Father\u2019s Day coming up \u2013 we\u2019re hoping to have a few specials, so please watch the board for details.<\/p>\n We\u2019re open on Bank Holiday Monday from 9 \u2013 12<\/p>\n Country Kitchen Web: www.ckhaslingfield.com<\/a> Twitter: #ckhaslingfield<\/p>\n Opening hours: 9am – 6pm Monday to Friday Seven weeks up and running, and we’ve certainly had our highs and lows.
