Lost - and found..

That link to the print page for the menu that I told you about yesterday is now working again. Try it and have a browse while you can!

Our menu/drinks list

I've just found a link to the menu via a back door on the website. It's supposed to be for the printers to access it - but take a look while it's still there:

Here's one..

I managed to snap this one on the QT. Also had a sip of Sam's creation of a Black Grape Daiquiri using our home made grape and muscovado shrub which tasted awesome..

It was also really good to make some no alcohol drinks for a very nice pregnant lady. Clearly avoiding alcohol is the right thing to do, but sometimes a J2O or a lemonade and lime just wont cut it! This is where shrubs come into their own - bags of taste, and a spikey edge that replaces alcohol exceptionally well (although when you do add it to alcohol it's very special indeed).

Photo time - nearly!

Tonight is the night. I've managed to borrow a button hole cam from a bloke who works for a mystery shopper company. This means that we will finally be able to smuggle out some pics...

Things are starting to pick up nicely as the right people seem to be discovering our exclusive little bit of Northampton. We had a guy in the other night who watched his mates leave for a bar crawl, and then promptly phoned a couple of other mates to come into town and join him at our place. A stack of cocktails, zebra steaks and our rather tasty Cognac and chocolate old fashioned later - and they were off with no regrets about missing out on that bar crawl...

Keep an eye out for those pics...

Photos?

STILL haven't managed to smuggle any photos out. Martin and Sam are obsessed with keeping things on the Q.T. so as not to spoil the surprise for those customers who are 'prepared to just try something new without having to be reassured by the likes of Trip Advisor or Facebook'...

So, I am nervously putting it out there to say if you've sneaked a photo when they weren't looking - let me know....

Alpaca!

Today has seen us wave farewell to Springbok steaks as they've become somewhat scarce - and hello to Alpaca steaks. Not only is alpaca very tasty indeed, but we've matched it with a Peruvian Chimichurri dip which is so awesome that I'm off home to make some now..

Before I go - The Wine Connection next door asked us round to try some wine from Earl's Barton of all places. We love those guys - and, it turns out, wine from Earls Barton too!
