Chairman of the Wessex Branch, Mr David Packer delivered a short speech outlining why this localDorset pub and restaurant won this coveted award:

He commented on the fact that much of the produce for the menu is locally grown and sourced:

“The platters were attractively presented and the individual items were without exception excellent. The beef and the venison for the main course came from the Home Farm and were universally applauded, both very tender and very tasty.  The sea trout was equally good, a thick fillet fresh fromPoolethat morning, liberally encrusted with herbs and perfectly cooked.

The home-made desserts were first class, particularly the excellent home- churned ice cream. The generous selection of fine West Country cheeses was very well received. The service throughout was informal but efficient and the atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming. This is the third visit of the Wessex Branch and we will be sure to return. This Commendation is made with grateful thanks”.

The committee members then sat down to enjoy another exquisite lunch in The Stables Restaurant, a converted part of the original buildings, full of charm and character. Barbara can be contacted on 01258 830225.

Vegetable Garden

In the vegetable garden our Jerusalem artichokes have taken a real battering from the winds and rain over the last few days. Our leeks are being eaten by leek moth and the whole crop has been lost. Our tomatoes have failed to rippen so we think we will be making green tomato chutney.

Granny White has also had an abundance of fruit and vegetables. The pear tree branches are hanging very low because of the high amounts of fruits ripening and she is extremely pleased with her over sized shallots! Granny’s free range chickens are also laying well at the moment.
