Last week it was Francophile, this week it's Countryfile

The BIG news this week is that a couple of Saturdays ago we had the pleasure of hosting the crew from the BBCs Countryfile programme. They were in the area filming for a programme about Derbyshire, obviously they didn't just call in for tea it was all planned and they spent an entire day here filming in the Vineyard, the Hall and the garden. Matt Baker was ill so we had to put up with Adam the farmer (what a shame!). It is planned that the programme will be broadcast on Sunday, 6th May so hopefully you'll catch it on the Beeb.

There's been a few changes to the menu so I thought I'd put the whole thing here in the hopes of tickling some taste buds:


Farmers Pie, Goats Cheese & Caramelised Red Onion Tart, Gammon Salad, Salmon Salad, Ploughmans Lunch, Onion & Leek Tart, Pheasant Pithivier, Roast Partridge, Rabbit in Mustard Sauce, Chicken Breast in Bacon and Mushroom Sauce, Daube de Provence, Pork Loin in Prunes.

If Adrian asks if you'd like his autograph just ignore him, he used to be on the stage you know and likes nothing better than to regale a willing audience with tales of when he 'trod the boards' and he even still remembers all his lines!

Hope to see you soon.
