Long time - no post!

It's been ages since I last posted on the Peppercorn blog - for which I apologise profusely. I shall try to behave more diligently forthwith!
Summer was fantastic wasn't it? The whole of June and most of July seemed to be heavy with promise; the sun shone nearly every day and we all felt as though we were on holiday. Going home from work and sitting in the garden with a glass or two of wine was de rigueur and the outside tables in the Peppercorn Kitchen garden were full to burstibg with hungry, happy groups of locals and holidaymakers.
August seems to have brought all that to an end - but hopefully this is a temporary blip and summer will roar back in.....?
Our blue Moon events have really taken off and the Jerusalem evening in July was so popular that we even sold garden tickets - the weather was so settled we just KNEW that it'd be balmy in the evening and it really was. Eventually almost all the diners de-camped to the garden which was candlelit and really very pretty. The  date of the next evening will be finalised this Wednesday - so watch out for news of this which will be posted on our Facebook page.
Our menu continues to develop - and we are loving the local fresh fish which is in abundance at the moment. Butterfiled local sardines is only beaten in popularity by the Persian shredded lamb with minted yoghourt and flatbreads. We're struggling to roast enough lamb shoulders to keep up with demand! The really exciting news is that we are in the process of sourcing goat meat to add to the menu - can't wait!
We have starting making a selection of ice creams to sell and consequently the pudding menu is much more exciting - we even make two sorts of iced lollies using only fruit and sometimes yoghourt - so it's ideal for children, too.
On hot days - the ever popular salads are back on the menu - they were so popular last year that everyone has asked us to put them back on the menu this year. With pleasure!
Have you all been to gaze in amazement at our new colour scheme in the cafe? If not - come and visit soon - it's pretty zany!! See you soon.
