A light-hearted quiz in the usual Ferry House format and plenty of time for a chat between rounds. All welcome. Your quiz master will be Paul. Just turn up, we can find you a team if you haven’t got one.
If you want to eat at the pub, it’s best to book a table and finish your meal before the quiz starts.
Surlingham.org now hosts the WW1 remembrance book after digitising and setting it for the web. Click here to look at the overview and dedication page and go to History> Surlingham in the Great War>”Individual names” to read the soldiers’ and sailors’ history.
This book was created in memory of the late Peter Hiscox.
There was a full house at The Ferry House last night to help Sonia and her team celebrate 11 years at The Ferry House. Here’s to the next 11!
A great night’s improvisation last night at Coldham Hall with Dogface Improv
A MASSIVE Thank-you to all who have already handed in Books for Schools vouchers to School or the Post Office – we are really close to meeting the minimum target of 1000 vouchers which means we will get £100 worth of new books! Please, Please keep handing them in – they are published until Saturday 8th December. If we collect more than 1000 we stand a chance of winning £2500 worth of books. This would make an incredible difference to the school and to all the children so if any of your family or friends might have some please do ask! Thanks again, we will keep you updated when we get a final total in the next couple of weeks!
Only joking. Christmas. Yes Christmas. Come this time of year you can’t move for adverts, talk of tasty treats and people wanting your hard earned cash. And we are no different.
Except we are a self service farm shop, so we don’t even have to force a smile at you during money transactions. We just have to write silly emails that are clearly written by someone with too much time of their hands every once in a while.
Apparently a couple of years ago there was some sort of vote. About what I am not too sure as there does not seem to be much coverage of it on the news. Perhaps this is what we should be focusing on. Not giving gifts, sharing time with loved ones and enjoying every moment we are given on this beautiful earth….
Now to the serious important stuff. The Christmas Trees have arrived! They are well priced and in super condition and waiting for a home. Just don’t leave it in your house until April like I did one year. Nightmare to move with needles everywhere and apparently the Easter Bunny wont eat it.
The farm shop is fully laden with goodies this weekend. So much so that we had to reinforce to floors to hold the weight of treats.
Sprouts too. And dont go ‘awwwww, sprouts.’ Yes sprouts. For some reason you boil them to death until they become a mushy pulp once a year then moan how horrid they are and turn your back on them another year before you force them down you yet again out of some kind of ritual necessity. Well let us tell you. They are blooming delicious. Steam them, roast them raw with some rapeseed oil and crispy bacon and few sliced almonds… or pretend you are a giant and have a round of golf.
We have our oil, our beef, potatoes, mayo, choccy (someone asked for dark chocolate in the comments box so we listened, sadly to the person who asked for 30 degrees C in January we just don’t have those kinds of powers yet), olives, pate, bacon, veg, eggs (even double yolkers) game, a superb patisserie open 10am-5pm this weekend.
Hold on… my fingers are getting tired. You have had enough reading. Let’s just stop this charade. Get on down, swing on by, pop on it, drop to us or whatever the cool kids say. Ana and Joaquim will be happy to see you in the Patisserie, we would love to have you and the Christmas trees are getting cold outside wrapped in a net like a chubby burglar wearing his girlfriend’s tights on his head.
And if you don’t fancy walking past your front door this weekend or in the run up to Christmas or live a week or two away from here (like in Diss or Swaffham) you can order our beef (seriously great beef box options) Cold pressed Rapeseed Oils, Dressing, Marinades and Sauces and lip soothing Natural Balms online to have them delivered directly to you and luckily for you… not by me.

Have a lovely weekend from us all at the farm you wonderful wonderful people you.
After the success of our Spirit of Christmas, we would like to thank everybody who supported it and that made it a very special day involved in a lovely Xmas atmosphere.
As everyone already knows, we work hard to bring excellent things to this lovely village so we will be serving a special Christmas menu from the 1st until the 24th of December. In it we aim to bring you a true Portuguese Xmas meal combined with mulled wine, music and extra opening hours on the weekends so you can come and get that special present (now that we have a gift area inside the patisserie). Bookings are recommended to avoid disappointment.
Specially for all the mums in the village, we have planned two pampering Sundays where you can have your nails done just in time for the festively season. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for all the updates but if you want to book just call us or pop round the shop and Ana will book you in.
Due to a lot of deman, we will also be open on Boxing Day so you can come and relax with an excellent hot drink after your Boxing Day walk.
see you all soon!
