Sushi Saturday Hits Bloxham!


On Saturday we launch a new range of fresh Sushi supplied by Adrienne Baba. Adrienne is passionate about Japanese food and pots. She trained as a potter in Japan and now runs a successful studio in Bloxham, North Oxfordshire making contemporary Japanese-style tableware which is thrown or slab-built.
Her interest and experience in cooking Japanese food has led to her establishing popular Japanese cookery classes and providing Japanese food for dinner parties all served on her own tableware of course.
We are really excited about the new range of Fish and Vegetable Sushi which is sold in two sizes. Perfect for a Saturday night supper or a really tasty (and healthy) lunch. Pop in for a taster - see you Saturday!

Happy New Year !



Hi all - Happy New Year and best wishes for 2010!

Well the snow has proved to make for a picturesque and slightly disrupted start to the NewYear. We have only had to close for a day and a half as Donna abandoned Ship to make sure she got home. Bloxham was hit hard by the snow.


We are busy making plans for the New Year. Our new chiller will provide the opportunity for new Fresh ranges. We are also keen to get some hot options on the menu - Soups, Paninis etc (thank you to Gina at Caffe Chai, Warwick, for the tips!)

Our major push is for springtime and opening the barn for the better weather to build on the gifts and homeware sides. In fact we are off to London on Sunday for 'Top Drawer' 2010 for inspiration and suppliers. The success of the gift loft at Christmas has left us with a Dilema - should we keep it as is or make into a holiday let. Decisions, decisions!

Take care all and pop in and say hi soon
