Staffordshire Fine Foods – Launch

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

Staffordshire Fine Foods

As many of you know, we make a range of our own ingredients in-house. The sale of these products has been limited to the restaurant menu so far. However, this is about to change on the 15th January 2011. To start with, Chef Daniel will be creating a range of 6 homemade sausages. Following on from there, we will be developing our home smoked range, traditional and modern charcuterie, pickles, sauces, fudge and gifts for your favourite foodie.

All the range will be available on the Staffordshire Fine Foods website or from the restaurant. A couple of local delis and farm shops have been in touch as well. The whole line is hand produced and we have no intentions to move from that to large scale output.

If you have any requests or questions, please let us know

Fined for feeding ducks?

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Very rarely do I get angered by a subject to take a stand, this is one occassion.

The Mail, a national paper in the UK published a story about a mother being fined by the council for feeding ducks, it was litter apparently.

Full article here

You are kidding

The councils reply was that they had a problem with Canada geese and feral pigeons and that the wardens don’t use handheld computers??? Well thought out defense.

Canada geese had flown by the time this “offence” was committed, about a month ago, I know these things, I run an award winning restaurant and understand shooting and game seasons. Besides which, I heard them leave our village pond over a weekend about a month ago.

Harry is smaller than most Canada geese and would be terrified of them, they get VERY aggressive when being fed, which leads me to think that this lady was feeding, wait for it, DUCKS with her young child.

One of the redeeming features of being a human is that you can put you hand up, say sorry and accept responsibility when you get it wrong.

If Vanessa Kelly is forced to pay a fine for her and Harry’s family afternoon out, I pledge to pay it for her.

Shame on you Sandwell !!!
