Celebrate English Wine Week 2026 with a glass (or four) of modern English wine!

Join us and Nick Williams, founder of Cambridge-based Williams Family Wines, on Thursday 25th June for a relaxed evening showcasing one of the country’s most exciting small producers.

Williams Family Wines is a winery rather than a vineyard, working with carefully sourced English grapes to create wines that are fresh, expressive, and distinctly modern in style. This is a great chance to explore what English wine looks like today, guided by the person making it.

We’ll be tasting four wines from the range, each offering a different perspective on English winemaking. Expect plenty of insight from Nick himself, along with relaxed chat and a chance to discover something a little closer to home. Guests will enjoy a selection of nibbles alongside the wines.

Tickets cost £32 per person and can be booked by clicking the link on this post or in our bio.

A huge thank you to everyone who has already donated to our fundraiser in aid of Wodson Park! We really appreciate your generosity and we know the team at Wodson do too!

We're still quite a way off our target so we need everyone to dig deep and send a few pounds our way - every little bit raised goes directly to Wodson Park and helps support the amazing services they provide for our community. Click the link in our bio to make a donation, and be sure to spread the word to others too!

It's now just over 3 weeks until we set off on this literal marathon slog, so the countdown is officially on! Watch this space for details of the route coming soon!

Introducing the Cambridge Spritz!

Just in time for the return of the sunshine (part truth, part wishful thinking), we are very excited to unveil the Cambridge Spritz! Why Cambridge? Well, the main ingredient is the super delicious Cambridge Limoncello from our good friends .

Said limoncello is combined with brut (dry) Prosecco and a splash of soda water to create a super refreshing beverage that is basically sherbet in a glass. Just the thing for when it's hot and bothersome!

Come and give it a try now - we're pretty dang proud of it 😁

Because two Toms is just not enough!

We are so excited to unveil our gorgeous, new tomatoes from - part of our dabble in the world of produce.

I don't know if you've found this, but you CANNOT get a good tomato in the supermarket. These, however, are superb! Check out our starting line-up:

🍅 Arreton Heritage Selection - bright and juicy, with just a little spice. Perfect for lovely, sunny salads or just popping in your moosh (once washed, obvs) as a quick and healthy snack.

🍅 Beefsteak Tomatoes - big, beautiful, and ready to be sliced up for inclusion in a burger or liberally drizzled with olive oil, basil, and buffalo mozzarella (check out our Scottish buffalo mozzarella!) for a delicious caprese salad.

Yummmmmmm!

It's us! 😍

A big congratulations to French & Day Delicatessen in which has been awarded our Silver Herts Responsible Food Award in recognition of their commitment to supporting local health and improving the environment.

Tom Day, Co-Owner, said:

“Sustainability has been at the core of business from day one and we've tried to show that small independent businesses can still make the right choices when it comes to the environment and how their products are produced.

“Whilst we can't pretend all of our delicious cheeses and wines are 'healthy' in the strictest sense, we try to educate our customers on the importance of provenance and the quality of ingredients, and that 'a little of what you fancy' can be part of a moderate and balanced diet.

“Applying for the Herts Responsible Food Award has helped us look at how we can further improve our product range and the way we serve food in-house. We want to make sure that we're doing the best we can and our hope is that, by receiving our Silver Award, we can be an example to other similar small businesses."
