The Kitchen and Garden
As well as all the maintenance that goes
into keeping our quirky old building up to scratch, our
primary focus this year has been a major upgrade to the
kitchen facility. It feels a bit like spending money on
undies! You won’t see the improvements but trust
they are in place!
Enough of kitchens – we are also very excited about
our plans for a new gardening range. We plan a “grow
your own” area of seeds n pots n stuff and a range
of wildlife conservation products to complement our existing
ranges of statuary and decorative items. Organic food
from our own gardens is clearly the way to go –
with a bee box to busy up pollination. If you need advice
on growing your own, chat to us – we are learning
as we go!
The Walled Garden
We have reduced 'food road miles' by sourcing
locally and we are beginning to produce some of our own
organic crops - this year a bumper harvest of strawberries
was on offer or converted to Georges jam.
After a successful swarm capture, we have
three hives all busy feeding on the wild flowers in garden.

Eco Style in the Cellar
Last summer we completed renovations on our Eco Cellar.
With a more minimalist approach. Our clothing speaks for
itself and needs no embellishment. Our emphasis will continue
to be sustainable sources sympathetic to the environment,
but style and comfort are in no way compromised. We offer
Braintree hemp and bamboo fashion, Bishopston Fairtrade
cotton, lawn and calico, Bam bamboo yoga and casual wear
and Bohemia and Culture for a fashion boutique look.
The Shoe Shack
Our new range of El Naturalista shoes are on offer in
the shoe shack, a cosy corner to sit and try on our stylish
and comfortable footwear. El Naturalista shoes are manufactured
from natural and recycled materials in the Rioja region
by methods that avoid pollution to the environment.
Dine at Home
If you don't fancy cooking, we have fresh
or frozen meals to be heated at home in the oven. Select
from favourites such as fish pie, lasagne, THai curry
and add dessert or cake for pud. Complete your meal with
one of our speciality wines from our cellar.
