I do enjoy making a frittata - the colours are always so vibrant, it’s a hearty alternative if you don’t want to or can’t eat pastry and we pretty much always make it meat free. 24 beautiful local eggs and some gorgeous Somerset or Devon cheese on top. This one is baked and ready for tomorrow.

In other news, our new shiny ready meal freezer is in and on, I also love a white goods delivery so I’m very happy 😆. The Beef in Red wine is now there and ready and I’ve made the Exmoor Lamb (my absolute favourite) today so we are rocking and rolling 😍

Everyone has their thing and mine is sticking labels on jars - STRAIGHT!

There is something ridiculously satisfying about this bit.

Label perfectly square.
No bubbles.
No creases.
Smooth it down.
Polish the jar.
Check it again.
Admire. 😂

I genuinely LOVE doing the labelling, which is probably just as well, because once we start making chutneys and relishes there are rather a lot of them!

And yes, I absolutely notice if one is 2mm wonky.
And no, I cannot just leave it. 😬

Today’s production line: our homemade Tomato, Pepper & Onion Relish — made, jarred, labelled and fussed over right here at The Old Bank Deli. ❤️

I’m back with a plan to get all the ready meals done over the next fortnight - so I’ve started with my mums favourite 😍

🍎 Somerset Pork – back in the freezer soon as I’ve only just made it 😬

One of our most popular homemade ready meals, and a proper taste of Somerset.

Tender diced pork from The Meat Men, slowly cooked with bunched carrots and sweet shallots, local cider, herbs and cream, finished with generous wedges of apples from Old Cleeve Orchard.

Rich, creamy, comforting and absolutely packed with tasty local ingredients – just the sort of dinner you want waiting in the freezer when you can’t be bothered to cook.

Made from scratch in our kitchen, as always. ❤️

Somerset Pork – proper local comfort food.

Traditional Bread Pudding ❤️ fresh out the oven this morning

Bread. Water. Sultanas. Spice.

It sounds ridiculously simple… but there’s a long process between those four ingredients and this 👆

Made the traditional way, with plenty of sultanas and our own secret blend of warming spices, then finished with that lovely crunchy sugar top.

No fancy ingredients. No shortcuts. Just a bit of time and a recipe that proves simple things can be rather delicious.

Proper old-fashioned bread pudding. ❤️

Fresh on the counter today at The Old Bank Deli.

I had a VIP delivery to make today whilst picking up the sourdough from Wivvy this morning, dropping off this beauty to my folks for Leigh’s birthday, a special hamper of goodies for a birthday feast tonight whilst watching the eclipse!

I’m super excited for tonight - not just the eclipse but also the Perseid meteor shower too - we all know my second favourite pastime to staring down at my flowers is staring up at the sky 😬

This is a great selection of goodies we have if you fancy a picnic this evening and this is the last sour dough for a fortnight whilst James at Longstraw has a much needed break. The sour dough is 2 down as one went in the hamper and one got dropped in the road unloading 🤨.

Have a spectacular spectacled evening and be careful to not do a:

Stared at the sun = Trump 😂
Flew too close to the sun = Icarus ☀️🪽

I’ve just finished making a batch of fresh strawberry trifles and they are out for sale now.

I haven’t disappeared - I’ve been banished to the kitchen as we are struggling to keep up with demand. It’s like being an IT specialist sent down to the basement, but I’m quite enjoying it. Hoping like all the criminals in jail I can get away with only serving 50% of my sentence 🤷

To continue my time off for good behavior route, we have a yummy frittata - roasted vegetables and Sharpham rustic, Ivor is just crashing out some scones for our cream tea bags (thought maybe we could all watch the eclipse and to stop us staring directly at the sun, be shovelling scones and jam in), and I’m going to sort some cous cous salad and maybe the French bean one as we haven’t had that for while. The ususal hundred weight of scotch eggs were made yesterday and we have about 30 left, then it’s onto quiches.

Oh and big fruit and veg delivery about lunchtime.

Have a great Tuesday!

Hands up who was dancing around in the rain yesterday! Not much of it but still lovely - and the smell was glorious - that’s called petrichor, every days a school day for me 😬

Check out these grapes - they are just the most perfect grapes I have ever had in, sweet juicy and crunchy, yes I did sample a few!

We have loads of gorgeous fruit in at the moment, lots of local stuff too, including our first delivery of discovery apples from Carhampton.

Lots of nectarines and peaches on the 3 for £5 too.

Tomorrow is a Very Important Day! It’s my birthday 🎂 🎉🥳

But much more importantly it’s our wedding anniversary. Yes, I am nothing if not strategic, we got married on my birthday and in truth, I have forgotten Ivor’s birthday once or twice - but he has never forgotten mine 😬😂😆.

16 years, and let’s face it that’s a couple of life sentences by today’s standards especially with time off for good behaviour - instead he got an obsessive, temperamental, and driven perfectionist with all the charm of a Tasmanian devil. Oooooh let’s buy a Farmshop - what an amazing lifestyle choice and what could possibly go wrong!

All joking aside - we are simply the best team - and we always have each others back, Ivor puts up with so much and he works so consistently hard to make everything just so, both in the shop and at home. Let’s appreciate the man behind the mouth 😬.

I love this photo from our Wedding Day (although Ivor does look about 19 - I’m pretty sure I haven’t traumatised him that much) it was such a fun day - with family, friends and the whole village involved. For me, I think it perfectly encapsulates the life we went on to choose.

Each other, family, friends and community, and lots of rescue dogs 🐕.

We will be breaking our necks to get out of the shop tomorrow so we can get out for dinner in the evening and then a day off Saturday for a family BBQ.

Thank you for continuing to keep us so busy, love our food, and always be so supportive - we love this shop and the community and customers, long may we continue ###x

Apologies I’m super quiet on socials atm, giving you all a break.

Keeping up with quiches and scotch eggs has become a full time job in itself!

Ivor’s on the case, I’m just finishing trifles then off to get the sourdough, With The Wild CIC are delivering today and we have loads of 3 for £5 peaches, nectarines etc.

All good in the hood - mad busy xx

21/07/2026

We e just taken delivery of lots of With The Wild CIC delicious salad bags AND some more delicious cherry tomatoes as well as some beef steak ones too.

All grown with out chemicals, delicious and super sweet, picked and in the shop in less that 24hrs.
