We went out for dinner to our local pub last night - just a short walk. It has just been taken over by new people and their son works at Raymond Blanc’s Le Manoir and came down to cook on his day off. All the veg and herbs and salad were picked that morning from the Big House in the village which has the most amazing productive kitchen garden (the gardener has been tending it for 21 years) and the young chef did full justice to it all with a few judicious additions such as crab from Selsey and mackerel landed at Shoreham. We are loving living down in Sussex Cro.
