I met with the very friendly Jim a few months prior to my 40th birthday party to discuss a menu – and described my favourite food types, chefs and recipe books.  He came up with a mouthwatering middle eastern menu full of interesting twists and incredible ingredients.  On my birthday evening the team produced a delicious feast – the smells and flavours were incredible and it really had the wow factor.  All my guests loved the food and we’ve been eating like kings on the leftovers for a few days.

Thank you Jim, Nigel and your team for helping create such a memorable evening.  I’ve already recommended you to everyone I know!

A Taste of Stamford

Lincolnshire Poacher: An award winning Cheddar like cheese from Simon Jones’ own herd of 230 Holstein Friesian cows.

Smoked Poacher: A hand-smoked in oak, very Christmassy version of the original.

Cote Hill Blue: Officially one of the best cheeses in the world, soft and creamy, made by Mary Davenport.

Colston Bassett Stilton or Cote Hill Yellow: Colston Bassett is one of the smallest dairies in the UK and unlike most cheesemakers still hand-ladle in the traditional manner.  A great “Stilton”.  Cote Hill Yellow is a soft, creamy, mellow flavoured cheese in a distinctive yellow wax and made by Mary Davenport.

Modens Plum Bread: Locally renowned, individually hand-baked since 1936 and award winning lightly spiced fruit loaf – fantastic with blue cheese.

The Bytham Kitchen Piccalilli: Handmade by Andy Heaps; this is his personal favourite, not too sweet and with a little kick.

The Bytham Kitchen Caramelised Red Onion Chutney: Also handmade by Andy Heaps, we think it’s the perfect accompaniment to the Poacher.

Rutland Charcuterie Bresaola, Coppa & Noix Jambon: A tasting board of the area’s finest air dried meats from Nick Brake, Head Charcutier.

 

Our cheeses are cut by hand to a weight of between 200-250grams with the exception of the Cote Hill Blue which weighs between 300-350grams.
