Make and Enjoy Your Perfect Ploughman’s Lunch with Our Ploughman’s Buffet
Take me to the tickets
Summer is afoot, so lets crank it up a notch!
Midsummer is here, so let’s celebrate the longest day with the finest foods. OK, yes, Solstice is the Saturday after this one, and Midsummer is officially the 24th. I expect you may have things to do at midsummer. I plan on being outside with a jug of my favourite cider, so this event is a week earlier. I hope that’s cleared that up.
Right. What’s on? As ever, besides the crowd-pleaser of a massive block of Somerset mature cheddar, there will be an array of Wiltshire, Somerset and Dorset Cheeses. I will search for some more unusual cheeses from Wiltshire and the surrounding counties. We have something for all if you are a connoisseur or just like a massive slab of the best of the west. Cheeses including Wiltshire Loaf, Avebury (think Wiltshire Brie) and others from Brinkworth Dairy. Assorted cheeses from Lyburn, Camembert from Cricket St. Thomas, and many others confirmed nearer the date.
And as always, the award-winning, super-local, most amazing bread from Marshall’s Bakery. See how many Wiltshire Marque-accredited products you can sample.
So, celebrate the best of local foods by creating your own perfect Ploughman’s.
Select from a plentiful supply of the finest ingredients: sample the bread, cheeses, ham, chutneys, and relishes. Enjoy fresh creamy butter, pies, pickles, and pâté. See what you like, and go back to craft your perfect Ploughman’s. Then maybe a bit more after…
A Roaming the Paths event proudly hosted by The Royal Oak in Pewsey in association with ploughmans-lunch.co.uk.
