And if you’ve ever wanted to be a food judge, there’s your chance on August 27th when all the staff will be baking bread and vie for the coveted award of Top Baker! Visitors can judge for themselves by coming along to have a taste and cast their votes. It’s free entry, and votes are counted at 3pm.

The staff will be making sheeps cheese every Saturday and will have plenty for sale and to sample. The bakery will be running flat out all summer to provide bread, rolls, cakes and scones for visitors to buy, or sample in the tearooms.
