The Bounty – Bourne End

I went to a fantastic pub yesterday and I wanted to tell you about it because it was everything that a great British pub should be and a reminder that pubs are part of our national culture that we should try and preserve rather than let fade away. The Bounty in Bourne End was a perfect place to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon. It had a buzzy atmosphere, a beautiful spot by the Thames (you can only travel there on foot or by boat) and a dash of English eccentricity. They had a dog menu (how about a bowl of chopped burgers for £2!), a great kids playground, excellent pork scratchings – even the bar was in the shape of a boat. And their welcome sign set the fun, friendly tone of the place. If you’re not too far from London I suggest you try it one weekend because the surrounding countryside is lovely too.

Knight’s glamping!

96190503

Just booked to go here! I’ve been wanting to go glamping for a while but with so many options around these days – from festival yurts to Featherdown farms I felt abit bamboozled by the options. Until my friend Kathryn found Knight’s Glamping at Leeds Castle. It’s suitably fairy-tale and a bit eccentric which is great when you’re got a bunch in kids in tow. Located in the castle vineyard we can cook on a cast iron griddle on an open fire and dance in the moonlight with a backdrop of the castle. All we need to decide now is whether we are going in fancy dress!

Bee-stings

When I was little there was a local bakers near my house and if I was really good I’d be taken there after school for a Bee-sting – a gooey concoction of pastry, custard cream and nuts. I dreamt of those bee-stings and when the baker closed down I never saw or tasted them again. So I was thrilled to discover the recipe on the fabulous SmittenKitten website. Deb Perelman’s recipe is for the cake version rather than the individual do-nut style things I used to have which means that there’s all the more if it!
