Kuba is running the stall this week – he’s been a complete legend through his training and we know he’s going to be great. He was on the radio in the week rapping and being an up and coming star. Ask him how it went!

On the stall we’ve got some amazing new Chorizo Picante coming through, and they’re larger now than they used to be so you get even better hand crafted value. We’ve also got some new maple and bacon sausages which are gonna Blow. Your. Mind! Man, these things are sweet and sticky and packed with or dry aged bacon. Bring those round to a friends BBQ and you’ll be held up as some kind of legend.

Wine of the week

Natural wines – Wine Scouts  Natural organic and biodynamic wines from around the world. Pedro says “This Saturday we will taste an organic, crispy white wine from Weinstadt in Germany. The Andi Knauß Riesling is dry, racy, refreshing and alarmingly drinkable. Expect orange blossom, lime and fresh herbs on the nose with a long steely palate carried by zesty acidity. This is a great introduction to the remarkable nature of Riesling grown on limestone. Andi’s work in the vineyards has been naturally since he started and the winemaking careful and precise. Natural fermentations and minimal sulphur are the norm throughout the range and some wines see no sulphur at all – which is a bit of a rarity in Germany. Come taste!”
