Celtic Fiddles at the Farmers tonight - drop in fo Celtic Fiddles at the Farmers tonight - drop in for a pizza and a pint - lots of good things from the garden alongside our usuals
SO MANY GOOD THINGS at the pub today 🤩 Hazel resc SO MANY GOOD THINGS at the pub today 🤩

Hazel rescues bats. So naturally she has one with her. Perhaps our first ever bat guest. It’s a boy pipistrelle BTW.

Then Edward and Kester (and Pip 🐕) installing 4 beautiful bespoke benches in our community orchard, Diana’s Orchard. Come and try them, they’re so comfy.

Not a great pic but the rejuvenated Ungarden looks amazing despite last weeks heatwave. Gorgeous reseda and echium especially and lots of germinating hollyhocks for next year’s bonanza.

Now here’s a surprise - self seeded celery in the Beer Garden! TONS of it, all in dry hot cracks in the paving. Who knew.

Lovely little mallow, also near the Beer Garden growing in sweet FA.

Our loveliest mature tree - our weeping larch (I think!) beside the Bar door - couldn’t care less about the heatwave and just a lovely cool, green shady thing to walk under and look up through on your way to your room.

Nice wee sedum at the foot of a wall - might be edible? Lovely to see tho.

GRAPES! Growing outside in the Beer Garden. May need to fight the birds off for them tho.

Lastly a splendid lettuce in our veg plot - variety is ‘Cocarde’ as trialled and chosen as the GOAT by Head of Veg Matt in 2023.

Lots on tomorrow for #nationalmeadowsday at the pub - check the What’s On page on the website. @caf3_te3n open 11-4pm if you need delicious sustainance!
