Our little “Local Dine Out” Sundays are back!! It might not be every week… but we’ll do our best!

Last Sunday, Darren and I went to The Rum Fox🦊 in Grindleton and WOW. We absolutely loved it.

Firstly, the place itself is absolutely stunning. It has that gorgeous mix of old and new - all the warmth and character you want from a proper country pub, but with this beautiful contemporary dining space, huge glass roof with natural light, statement lighting and the open kitchen. It feels really special without being stuffy or overly formal.

And then we were shown to our table and I realised where we were sitting…

RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE OPEN KITCHEN!! 😍

Well, if you know me, you know this was basically the best seat in the house for me!! I was IN MY ELEMENT.

Poor Darren trying to have a nice Sunday lunch with his wife while I’m watching every plate leave the pass, seeing what everyone’s ordered and watching the chefs work their magic. 🤣

There’s just something I absolutely love about an open kitchen. Being able to see the chefs at work, the concentration, the organisation and everything coming together right in front of you. A work of art. And these guys were smashing it. 👏

Now… THE FOOD. 🤤

I started with the King Prawn, Brown Crab & Scallop Gratin with Singapore chilli crab sauce and Darren had the Lancashire Cheese Soufflé with Grindleton apple chutney and chive cheese sauce.
Both absolutely beautiful!!! And generous portions too!
So so tasty! Yum😋

For mains I went for the beef Sunday dinner and Darren had the lamb. Beautifully cooked meat, massive Yorkshire puddings, proper roasties, gorgeous vegetables and gravy… just look at those plates!🤤

And the cauliflower cheeeeeese!!! Omg!

Everything felt really well thought out. The staff were so friendly, welcoming and professional, the atmosphere was lovely, the food was outstanding and absolutely fantastic value for the quality of food and the whole experience.
We came away genuinely impressed with the whole place.

It’s actually quite amazing when you think about how many incredible places we have to eat around the Ribble Valley, and this is another one to add to the list.

Thanks for having us guys! We’ll be back!❤️

Hi, my name is Amy… 👋🏼

I like to bake things.
I like to challenge myself.
And my brain likes to invent something new for Barton Bakes approximately every 5 seconds. 🤣

I woke up this morning and before I’d even properly started my day, I’d already thought of the NEXT Secret Menu item…

AND something else I’m going to start offering very soon 👀

Does my brain ever just… switch off?

Absolutely not.

Am I a normal human being?

Also absolutely not.

But I kinda like it this way.

Keeps me on my toes… and keeps you lot intrigued. haha…

Anyway… carry on with your Sunday. I’ve got another 47 ideas to overthink before lunchtime. 🤣

SECRET MENU ITEM #2 … 🤩

This is actually something I’ve been pondering for a while, so I thought… sod it, let’s just give it a go.

Autumn is creeping in, the weather is turning, and the kids have just gone back to school… 🎒🍂

Those school days seem SO long ago to me now, and probably to a few of you too - but there are certain things about primary school especially, that just stick in your head forever…

The dinner trays.
The dinner ladies.
And THE PUDDINGS!!!! 🤤

You know where I’m going with this now, don’t you… 😍

Those proper, nostalgic, hot school dinner puddings. Done properly!

They were just the best! The sort of pudding you’d be thinking about all the way through your main dinner 😋

So… I’m kicking it off with an absolute CLASSIC.

🍫 HOT CHOCOLATE SPONGE
& GREEN MINT CUSTARD 💚

And if you have never experienced this pudding before… then, you’ve GOTTA try it!

You can have it served HOT to eat straight away, or we’ll tub it up for you to take home and warm up after your tea!

But obviously… it wouldn’t be the Secret Menu without a secret passphrase 🤫 This will not be on display, it will not be advertised and you won’t be able to purchase without saying the correct passphrase…

🔎 which is hidden somewhere amongst the pictures of our NON-secret items that will also be available tomorrow in the counter.

See you there !! 😝

Happy Birthday Chef Bentley! 🍻 🎂

Well, we managed to finish a little earlier today so we could FaceTime young Miss Bentley over in Japan 🇯🇵❤️ — the perfect birthday evening!

Then it was time to put our feet up and enjoy some delicious sausages from Tom’s Clitheroe 😋 for my birthday tea, followed by a slice (or two! 😉) of this fabulous carrot cake from Barton Bakes 🎂🥕.

It just goes to show… whatever you need, the market can supply! ❤️

Great food, great local traders and plenty of reasons to shop local. 🛍️

Now it’s w**e time! 🍷

Today wasn’t the first day I’ve felt this and it sure won’t be the last ❤️

So we finally treated ourselves to a curry from our fellow market traders/friends at The Authentic Asian Street Food Stall… and bloody hell, it was DELICIOUS!!!

We went for the curry of the day - Lamb Karahi with Aloo (lamb leg/shoulder cooked on the bone with potato) in the most incredible rich, flavour packed sauce. Honestly, it was divine! Proper comfort food! It was soo fresh and absolutely perfect after a looong day 🍛

And obviously we had to get a couple of their chicken samosas too… which we’ve had MANY times and I’m putting it out there… they are the BEST samosas on this PLANET. 🙌

What makes it even better is that the guys behind the food are genuinely some of the loveliest people you could meet. Always so friendly and chatty 🫶🏼

So if you’ve walked past their stall at Clitheroe Market and haven’t tried them yet…

THIS IS YOUR SIGN🔥

10/10 from us. Absolutely STUFFED and very, very happy 😂❤️
