Country Kitchen open on Bank Holiday Monday

Country KitchenCountry Kitchen will be open from 9am – 12pm on Bank Holiday Monday, so do feel free to pop in for some freshly baked baguettes, sausage rolls and picnic fayre.

Just arrived in time for the good weather are Yarde Farm ice creams, which are much in demand and Patchwork Pate, with a selection of liver as well as vegetarian pates, as well as a lovely range of sauces from Stokes.
