Asparagus…. the wait is finally over!

The crisp spears have finally shown their heads, and visibly grow up to 10cm a day, which has led to Asparagus being dubbed “the Usain Bolt” of the plant world.

The 8 week season starts on our Asparagus Weekend which is 26th -28th May, so please enjoy the menu we have put together using only the finest local ingredients, to accompany the majestic spears, each one picked by hand, only when it has reached the perfect height.
