Stand by your beds!

A flurry of excitement flowed through the building on Monday morning in anticipation of a visit from the renowned food writer Tom Parker Bowles.

A relaxed yet probing interview over a couple of hours confirmed his enthusiasm for good honest food has not diminished he was particularly interested in our locally sourced free range meats and eggs and like most visitors he struggled to believe that we really do make our Scotch eggs by hand... (all be it a number of pairs of hands now!)

Tom was kind enough to write a piece about us back in June 2007 with the opening line " These are some of the best Scotch eggs ever to have passed my lips" and a double page spread of our tempting breakfast pan
pictured again here for good measure

Unsurprisingly we received a great response with the hit rate on our website going ballistic. If all goes well Tom is publishing a piece in the MAIL on SUNDAY on August 1st this year, back in 2007 we were less computer savvy and were not able to get the best out of this fabulous opportunity so this time we thought we'd let everyone know, and take it as a great incentive to get all our stockists details up to date, so do take a moment to pop over to the main site and see who's near by.

If unfortunately there isn't a stockist near maybe you could suggest someone, if you let us know who and where we'll give them a call, if we are lucky enough to secure an order we'll send you a box of 6 Scotch eggs totaly free of charge as a thank you, and best of all you'll be able to get your favourites when ever you want with out the delivery charge!!

Hi Neil

I had a scotch egg at the great british beer festival last night and it was utter rubbish. made me long for the black watch.

You'd have made a bomb there, loads of hungry folk.

I moved a few months ago and I used to get a steady supply of these fantastic eggs from Hillers Farm shop near Evesham.

Could you contact my new local 'East Farndon Farms Shop' in Market Harborough a call to get them to stock them.

Why don't good pubs sell them on the bar...a pint of ale and a black watch. Does life get any better?
