If you live in Dorset or taking time out for a sociably distant visit, Knowlton Church is located just three country miles from our doorstep at All Hallows. This historic place of worship is well worth a visit. On the road between Wimborne Minster towards Cranborne,...
The herb garden has definitely flourished during the dry, hot weather and looks its best during the month of June. It seems that nearly everyone has taken up a trowel and had a go at growing your own. Whether you have a few pots of herbs or a designated plot, here...
If you would like to make these fritters, gather the elderflowers as soon as you can. They are a delicately scented treat with an aroma of late spring, but the flowers are definitely at their best NOW, whilst the blossom is just coming into flower. Once dipped, fry...

It was my very first visit to Dublin that I tasted soda bread. Thick with Irish butter and a generous spoonful of marmalade. I will never forget that perfect combination of soft wheaten bread with creamy butter and the perfect balance of sweet and sharp preserve. I...
These are unprecedented times and after carefully following Government advice and taking the lead from AGA who have already cancelled their cookery demonstrations for the time being, it is with a very heavy heart that we have decided to defer all of our personalised...
