Embracing Autumn: A Flavourful Transformation

Autumn is a great season, it’s the most fascinating and nostalgic. Everything changes, habits, timings, flavours, cooking techniques and colours.

Instant summery flavours will slowly disappear, cooking will change into layering flavours with deep bold ingredients. The roar of our open fireplaces will take you back to your childhood memories, toasting marshmallows by the bonfire.

The sound of crisp, dried leaves under your feet will keep you company during your walks on a misty morning.

Walking through an orchard, picking Bramley apples and soft plums for our home-made pies. You will no longer hold your favourite stew recipe in the back of your mind and your “it’s too hot for it” will cease to exist.

Pheasant, red deer, and black grouse will start appearing on our menus, Chefs will get passionate about a light and lean venison carpaccio, the rich flavours of stuffed roasted partridge or delicate rabbit and oyster mushrooms pie.

Autumn is pumpkins, plums, and pears. Autumn is blackberry and apples. Autumn is game.

Keep your eyes peeled and taste buds primed for some incredible ingredients, delectable dishes, and plenty of seasonal produce.

Pitchfork Cheddar has a dense, creamy texture and a full-bodied flavour and our favourite description is ‘a cheese with a taste of history’. Pitchfork Cheddar is a natural starting point for a cheeseboard as well as being a versatile cheese to use in cooking, from toppings to soufflés, from toasties to scones.
