Saturday 26th June

Well goodness knows how, but England have made it through the group stage of the World Cup.  It's a shame we can't rely on their form being consistent, at least when you come to market you know that our food and produce is consistent .....

• freshly picked seasonal vegetables and fruit (picked Saturday mornings)
• freshly prepared savouries (made within 24 hours and kept chilled until market, and kept on cold trays in market to keep them fresh)
• freshly prepared cakes, breads and pastries, none of which have been frozen previously, which of course means if you only fancy half a cake, you can freeze the other half for later
• jams, chutneys, marmalades, pickles ... all using fresh fruit or vegetables

All our cooks hold the Food Hygiene certificate, and all our cooks use free-range eggs from their own chickens.  All our packaging is food standard to ensure that the food is in the freshest possible condition when it's sold.  And it's local, our furthest producer lives in Iken, which is only 5 miles away, so you know that when we say it's local we mean it's local!

So to tempt you today we have:

Cheese & olive scones ~ Fudge ~ Apple crumble cake ~ Spicy fruit loaf ~ Orange almond cake ~ Orange Madeira cake ~ Pear and almond cake ~ Sponges (plain/chocolate/coffee & walnut) ~ Cupcakes (plain/Coffee & walnut) ~ Scones ~ Cream teas ~ Cherry & almond cakes ~ Chocolate cake

Beef lasagnes ~ Cottages pies ~ Various quiches

Salad Leaves ~ Lettuce ~ Broad Beans ~ Calabrese ~ Spring Greens ~ Carrots ~ Radishes ~ Garlic ~ Peas ~ Potatoes ~ Pak Choi

Sausages and pork joints
Cushions ~ lavender bags ~ Jewellery ~ Tracy's wonderful wool

See you tomorrow

Saturday 12th June

Kick-off this week at 9.30am in the Town Hall.


In case you haven't heard, tomorrow evening England play the USA in the World Cup.  Lots of us will be sitting in front of the telly, either gleefully optimistic, in utter despair at our team, or watching reluctantly.  England should do well, the team has the potential, let's hope it all comes together for them.


Whatever type of supporter you are, when the football's on the telly, and you're feeling a little peckish ... we have the perfect solution.


Lots of ready-made meals like lasagne and quiches, so you don't need to spend any unnecessary time in the kitchen.  Lots of lovely desserts and cakes.  Or if you're really short on time, toast and marmalade - we sell both.


For you to choose from this week:


Lasagnes (Beef or vegetable) ~ Cottage pies ~ Quiches (Asparagus and parmesan ~ Cheese and tomato ~ Roast veg ~ Smoked salmon and chive) ~ Sausage and onion pies ~ Sausage rolls ~ Cheese lattice ~ Pasties


Cheese Straws ~ Chocolate cake ~ Rhubarb and ginger sponge cake ~ Pear and ginger sponge cake ~ Gingerbread ~ Soda bread ~ Cheesey soda bread ~ Sponges (coffee/walnut and plain) ~ Cupcakes (plain/coffee & walnut) ~ Apple cakes ~ Rocky road ~ Fruit scones ~ Cream teas ~ Fruit cake ~ Lemon drizzle cake ~ Gluten free cakes ~ Butter shortbread ~ Crunchy top lemon cakes ~ Double chocolate cakes ~ Flapjacks ~ Speciality breads ~ doughnuts


Lunches of parsley ~ Eggs


Raspberry jam ~ Spiced pepper chutney ~ Lemon curd ~ Lime curd


Tracy's woolly wonders ~ Cushions ~ Lavender bags ~ Tea cosies to keep your tea warm (or beer cold!) ~ Hand-crafted jewellery

And lots more,

On Sunday, the first Wacky Races since the Pram Race of the late 1980's, will be held between the King's Head and the Jolly Sailor in aid of charity incl. Help for Hero's.  Come and join in the fun, but make sure you're not on the road, I'm not sure how many training sessions the kart drivers have taken!  The flag goes down at 12.00 noon.

See you all tomorrow
