Puddings..

This week we have been perfecting Baked Alaska for one. Looks pretty good - tastes bloody lovely.

It should be hitting the menu real soon.. along with:

Our home made Ginger and Lemon Posset Cheesecake.

It's fun to do something that's not a cocktail - so next week maybe we'll turn our attention to solving the national debt!

Action!

We've had a very nice surprise. The BBC 2 Food and Drink programme have been in touch to say that they've heard about us and would like to film at Haycock this Friday.
Can't say too much, other than it's all about molecular similarities - and how that means that some unusual combinations go well. We always knew that - but the BBC are getting a scientist in to prove it. The ladies hope this would be Prof Brian Cox. It isn't....

I'm back!

Having spent a few weeks away researching alcohol in the USA I've returned to my happy spot behind the Haycock Bar. I'd like to say I've been inspired by drinks I've sampled - but the truth is I was a bit disappointed. Maybe I just went to the wrong places! $2 Margaritas in Vegas were not the highpoint of our imbibing travels.

The best bit was a bar in Mammoth Lakes that featured 400 different tequilas - and also, apparently, sold some other stuff too.

Looks like I made it back just in time too - next week we have a team tasting of Beluga Vodka, which is making Albert very happy...If it goes well we'll it will be available to customers very soon...
