A Gastronomical Day!

Thursday, February 16, 2012 at 12:17PM

Filed in: Pipers Farm, Beef

This Sunday we saw our farm fill up with fifty students from the Hospitality Management department at Oxford Brookes Uni. They were on a Devon gastronomy field trip that saw them go on to Pebblebed Vineyard, Brimblecombes Cider Barn and to Antonias Barn to enjoy a traditional Devon Cream Tea! The students also were taken to Michael Caine's Exeter restaurant The Royal Clarence, where, along with Peter and Henri, they all enjoyed our Red Ruby Short Ribs as part of an evening meal. The evening was described by Peter as a perfect illustration of the benefits of working with highly skilled practitioners within the hospitality sector.

Whilst at Pipers Farm, Peter took the students to see the Red Rubies grazing and then to the carcasses in the cold store. Afterwards, everyone tucked into Red Ruby Silverside, cooked by our chef Sohan in the outdoor wood oven.

Marc, who organised the trip described it as “an educational masterclass on where real food comes from, its values and importance”.

Fuss Free Flavours Review

Filed in: Ham, Handmade Pies, Simplest Casseroles

Helen at Fuss Free Flavours has done a lovely write up on our Hand-made Pies, Simplest Casseroles and Saddleback Ham that her parents kindly taste-tested for us. It has certainly made our chefs happy - both the Pies and the Casseroles are relatively new creations, but they seem to be growing ever more popular!
