Cake news – Brett and Bailey return and say “We’re so happy to be back! It’s our first stall in more than four months, and we’ll be making up for lost time with a huge array of B&B summer classics and new favourites alike.

Cakes on the menu include Black Forest, Pornstar Martini, Eton Mess, chocolate Guinness, lemon and rosemary drizzle, and apricot and amaretto cheesecake.  There’ll also be plenty of our pecan-studded fudgy brownies, moreish raspberry bakewells, cardamom knots, sticky buns, milk chocolate and orange cookies, and maybe some cool cups of our refreshing mint lemonade to wash it all down.

We’ve spent quite a lot of lockdown topping up our stock of handmade preserves, too. There’ll be plenty of pots of plum and rose (made just this week with Crystal Palace plums), apricot and vanilla, blackcurrant and bay, raspberry and violet, gooseberry and elderflower, and a limited run of strawberry and tarragon (we’ll make more before summer’s out). And our Great Taste Award-winning marmalade will be on the stall too.

Please note that we’ll no longer be accepting cash at the market – it’s card payments only with contactless preferred.  Need a whole cake next weekend? Order online by Tuesday night and we’ll have it freshly-baked and ready to collect at Saturday’s market.   See you soon!”

Natural wines – Wine Scouts    Natural organic and biodynamic wines from around the world.  Pedro says, “Hi there! This Sat we will taste a perfumed and crispy white wine from Savoie in France, the Roussette Frangy Domaine Lupin.  The flavours are reminiscent of pear, gingerbread, spice and honey with a touch of nougat and the mouthfeel is soft, mellow and off dry. In the winery some skin contact is allowed for richness of aroma, followed by a natural settling of the must, lees contact, and eventual bottling in April the following year. Most of the vines are about 25 years old. He always ferments with natural yeasts, and, unusually for the area, never de-acidifies or manipulates in any way his wines. This is elegance. Come taste!”
