Wouldn't mind some feedback on this one.
We've been asked so many times about our Blue Moon evenings and whether we'll ever revive them. Well, we've thought about it and have come up with an idea. How about a Secret Supper Club? The idea is basically that we host a dinner party at Peppercorn Kitchen once a month. We'll provide a three course meal (there will be a choice of dishes and guests will have chosen beforehand) and you can bring your own wine/beer. There will only be about 22 tickets available for each event and everyone would eat at the same time at one huge table.
We may even theme some or all of the evenings; so we could start with a Moroccan evening and next time maybe move on to the Middle East etc.
It's a way for us to see you in a more relaxed, convivial and social setting, and it's also a way for us to pilot some of our new recipes.
At the moment we're compiling a database of contacts who are interested in hearing more about the idea, so if you'd like to be on the list- please let us have your e mail and if there's enough interest for the idea to run then we shall e mail you with the menu for the first evening and any further details.
Other than that it's business as usual at Peppercorn. The recession is really affecting us all now, the price of raw materials has rocketed and so some of our prices have gone up a little- but we hope that we still offer real value for money and dishes that you won't find anywhere else! We are so appreciative of our loyal local trade - we absolutely love seeing our regulars and value your friendship as well as your custom! Trade is still good at Peppercorn and we love coming to work every day - we have such FUN!
Amy (our wonderful manager), Becca and Toby have all officially started their various apprenticeships now. Toby attends Cornwall College once a week and works with us for the rest of the week, whereas Amy and Becca are both completing their courses in house.
The Lamb Kofte disappeared pretty darned quickly so we'll be making more of that soon, but meanwhile how do you feel about Parsnip and Potato Latkes (a bit like a rosti) with soured cream and salad, or Spiced Salmon fritters with sweet chilli sauce, pitta and salad, or local Sausage Hotpot with crusty bread to name but a few; and follow them up with Cardamom and rosewater rice pudding with pistachios, or Caramel giant meringues and clotted cream- and Lisa is really keen to make a Sticky Toffee Pudding........
