    When tannin met tang – celebrating National Wine and Cheese Day 2020

    July 23, 2020 / No Comments

    “I came here tonight because when you realise you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”  -Harry,  When Harry Met Sally A match made in culinary heaven, cheese and wine go together like Hollywood’s greatest odd couple. In fact, they’ve been complementing each other for hundreds of years.  So to celebrate National Wine and Cheese Day on the 25th July, we’re taking a look at why these unnatural bedfellows go so well together and, importantly, how to pair them with style.  Why do wine and cheese go well together?

    101 ways to celebrate afternoon tea – Afternoon Tea Week (10th – 16th August)

    July 13, 2020 / 1 Comment

    Ever had that sinking feeling in the afternoon? Well, that’s exactly how Anna Russell, the Duchess of Bedford, felt during her 17th-century afternoons. At the time, it was normal to have two meals a day and dinner wasn’t served until 8 o’clock.

So, what better way to celebrate than by raising your china cup, spreading a scone and getting involved.…
