Gatcombe Park Food & Drink Festival: Weekend Highlights
4th August 2021
What a weekend at the Gatcombe Park Food & Drink Festival. Despite one or two brief showers, the sun made plenty of appearances — and when it did, it was gloriously warm.
We welcomed lots of lovely new customers, along with a few familiar faces who stopped by to say hello. We even had a rather special visit… HRH Princess Anne and Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Lawrence popped over for a chat on Saturday, then returned on Sunday to purchase an AeroPress for the boat. We’re not quite ready to claim “By Royal Appointment,” but it certainly made our weekend.
We also met a fantastic farming couple who are opening a new farm shop nearby — another brilliant local outlet focused on local produce (and, of course, our locally roasted coffee).
Our new Black Ram House Blend was a real hit. With 30% more caffeine than our usual and is also a medium roast to retain as much of the flavour and caffeine as possible. This one will definitely wake you up...
All in all, a great weekend, with some very tired staff.
