February
Mulberry Desserts and vampires!!!
I love February it is when our hundred year old mulberry tree provides us with a sexy and seductive taste of sweet sugar. Paul our chef has taken a challenge to bring an ancient French recipe of mulberry jam and what he has made over our large copper jam pot is simply stunning. The colour is that of blood and the consistency as well, this is kind of scary but blood has never tasted so good. I assure no guest have gone missing!!!!!
So it been a great couple of month and the hotel has been very busy, can’t complain we have been visited by writers, lords and ladies to a few politicians they don’t really count but we did like these ones. The events held at Islington have been simply stunning. From small wedding to birthday parties one coming up is have a 8 course dinner menu designed by Annie Parmentier accompanied by 8 different wines and all for 12 people, how lavish and don’t we simply love it!
Comments have been coming in from our regular guests about the garden and how it has certainly come on in the last year. We are glad too, I think from here on the garden will only improve and age like the finest of wines. The tomatoes coming from the herb garden are sweet and delicious, I and poppie the vicious dachshund are keeping a constant vidual as to insure our guests don’t over indulge, you know who you are!!!
The Islington website will be up dated at the end of the month with new images and a new brochure as well so lots more to show and tell.
The Priory Country Lodge is making a lot of progress and I aim to keep the opening on track for the end of April. Don’t forget as well to check in to the nant distillery website there is a few foundation whiskey barrels still on offer, this offer will never happen again.
So until next month keep in touch see you soon.
The Team....
