Quiz Night at Coldham Hall

CH Quiz Night October-1

Posted in News | Comments Off on Quiz Night at Coldham Hall

Q: Why shouldn’t you tell a secret on a farm?  A: Because the potatoes have eyes and the corn has ears.


I know… Corny ay… Boom Boom!

Well, the kids are all back to school and you can relax… although they do still need to be fed and most of you will still have to go out and work. So it is not all as easy and fun and relaxed now as we make out. Some of you may even be lucky enough not to have children.

However simply swing by the shop and pick up some wonderful delights and wash all those worries away. It would most probably be called a lie if we claimed a small shop hidden in the Norfolk countryside, full of delicious gems could be the answer to all life’s mysteries, but I am going to go ahead to say it anyways. You cant catch me, this is the internet after all. I could be writing this from a warm tropical beach. (But I am not, I am at the farm, just dont tell you that, so you dont know where I am…)

Even I am getting confused now. Enough flapping and more about the food. In this week we have some of the farm reared in beef (see picture) and it is just as delicious as ever. Steaks, stewing beef for those more wintery dishes and slow cookings, mince (think cottage pie and even homemade burgers), joints for those sundays roasts, beef sausages and more. We have fish, pork, chicken too and lots of veg just in. Sweetcorn. 4 minutes in its natural husk in the microwave and you have a delicious healthy quick snack.
Dont forget our 12.5kg bags of unwashed potatoes. They are only £4 a bag and are now ready and waiting in the shop for you as we have begun harvesting them.
Butternut squash, kale, spinach, cabbages, cheese, butter, drinks, chocolate, free wifi and if we see you, we might even smile at you… if you are lucky!

Pop on in every single day including bank holidays and weekends 8am-9pm.

Have a wonderful weekend all.

Issues raised this month were the noise over the Bank Holiday weekend, flooding of properties on The Street. Traffic calming, the Parish Council is considering installing ‘village gates’ and the WW1  Centenary celebrations.

No. Not quite winter yet. And we have some great goodies in!

Quick! To the Batmobile!

Nice to see the sun out again, and be a bit warmer. I even spotted a swimmer earlier running around the pool car park in their swim shorts. Had it been last week they would have frozen to death.
Perhaps I should have wondered more why they were running around the car park half naked… but these things happen.

Back to the shop! We have lots more in the weekend. Fresh veg delivered today in the form of romanesques (prickly cauliflower looking things that taste wonderful and will get the kids interested in their greens we promise), cabbages, fresh local and huge sweetcorn for only 55p each, onions, cauliflowers, leeks, courgettes (the round ones are great for stuffing), leeks, carrots, french beans, kale, spinach, mixed salad and more.

Double yolkers have also arrived in today as well as much more cheese and a new marsh pig jerky flavour. Sausage rolls are here if you fancy a sit down, cuppa and a nibble and on Sunday we have asked for some fresh cake to be delivered. we asked for something ‘Choccy’ so watch out.

For meats we have fresh chicken thighs and breasts, pork chops, bacon, sausages and a wonderful array of frozen farm reared beef in the form of mince, steaks, stewing steaks (as it gets a bit colder for those stews etc), our award winning oils and usual dried good suspects ready to help you create that culinary masterpiece.

So if you are about (or even if you are not about) this weekend pop in for a rest on your walk, to get some wonderful Norfolk produce and to make a slap up dinner with some very tasty goodies.

P.s our much loved spuds are now being harvested from our fields as we speak and should be in the shop in the next few days. 12.5kgs of delicious Surlingham spuds for £3.50. Now you cannot go wrong with that.

See you soon and have a wonderful weekend from everyone here at the farm

p.s early Christmas joke: Did you hear about the mass snowman grave they found? Turns out it was just a field of carrots. Boom Boom!
🙂
