What is N’duja?
Say it with us… ‘en-DOO-yah’!

This fiery, spreadable salami hails from Calabria in Southern Italy and it’s one of the best things to ever happen to cured meat. Made with pork, chilli, and spices – it’s rich, smoky, spicy and utterly addictive.

We’re proud to stock a British take on this Italian classic from the brilliant team at down in Dorset – their English N’duja is packed full of traditional flavour, but with a unique and delicious local twist!

We serve ours on toasted sourdough with roasted red peppers – but there’s so much more you can do with this versatile wonder. Stir it through pasta, melt it on pizza, mix it into scrambled eggs, or even add it to your cheeseboard for a spicy surprise.

Sunday lunch idea?
Pair a spoonful of N’duja with a glass of Sage’s Ortega – its pineapple and citrus notes slice beautifully through the spice, and if you’re feeling bold, throw in a handful of our chilli & garlic olives for the ultimate flavour combo.

We’re open today until 3.30pm – come grab a treat that’ll spice up your Sunday!

Who needs ice cream when you can have a scoop of Gorgonzola A La Cuillere instead?!

Seriously, this ultra-creamy, spoonable Gorgonzola is in a league of its own – and when paired with a Wild Venison Beer Stick from our friends and a chilled glass of Radlow Hundred Rosé , you’ve got yourself the ultimate Great British summer treat.

And just when you thought things couldn’t get more indulgent…

We’ve just got in a brand new cured meat – Black Truffle Salami!

Rich, melt-in-the-mouth, and packed full of deep umami flavour. This is one to savour.

Pop in this weekend and build your own dream cheeseboard – we’ve got everything you need to level up your snacking game.

🍷 NEW IN: Riverview Pinot Noir – A Standout Essex Wine 🍷

Being in the wine trade, it’s not uncommon to stumble across a bottle that leaves an impact. What is uncommon, however, is finding a wine so exceptional that it leaves you grinning like a fool in the middle of a vineyard.

We stock a number of fantastic English Pinot Noirs, particularly from Essex, so when Katie and Umut from Riverview got in touch about a highly acclaimed Pinot Noir, I was intrigued but hesitant. Our ethos is all about local quality, so at the very least, I owed them my time.

On a beautifully sunny yet freezing day, I made my way to Hullbridge, where Riverview Vineyard sits proudly on the slopes of the Crouch River, nestled beside a lazy bend. As Katie and Umut walked me through the vines, their passion, knowledge, and dedication to their craft became instantly clear. It was inspiring to see a young couple investing in the Essex countryside and creating something truly special.

Then came the moment of truth.

A clean label with delicate foiling depicting the Crouch River sat proudly on the bottle. Light ruby hues reflected in the glass as cherries, plums, and forest fruits surged forward. The aromas alone had me eager for the first sip.

And then… wow.

🍒 Fruit-forward, with the smallest hint of chocolate and black pepper.
🔥 A delightful soft smokiness, rounding out with a clean, elegant finish.
✨ Perfectly balanced, leaving you ready for another sip.

I was smitten. They had me.

At this point, Umut casually mentioned he had a number of cases in the back of the 4x4. Well, what was I to do? Akin to a scene out of The Gentlemen, Umut graciously loaded up my car, and the deal was done!

We are thrilled to now stock Riverview Pinot Noir, a truly remarkable English wine that we can’t wait for you to try.

📍 Available in-store now—don’t miss this one. And the best bit? We have a bottle open for you to try this fantastic wine! 🍷

🍷 Vineyard Spotlight: Martin’s Lane 🍷

Nestled in the beautiful Crouch Valley in Essex, Martin’s Lane Vineyard is one of England’s hidden gems, producing some of the country’s most exceptional wines.

Founded by Roy Martin, a pioneer in the evolution of the English wine industry, Martin’s Lane stands as a testament to his vision, expertise, and dedication to producing world-class wines. His lasting legacy continues to shine through in every bottle, as the vineyard remains committed to crafting wines of exceptional quality and character.

The Crouch Valley is now widely considered to be the emerging region for growing top-quality grapes for English still wines, thanks to its unique microclimate and long ripening season. Now led by Graham Martin and his partner, Martin’s Lane continues to push boundaries, producing wines that rival some of the finest in the world.

✨ Our Personal Favourites:
🍷 Pinot Noir Blanc de Noirs – A beautifully complex and unique still white wine, with elegant red berry aromas and notes of strawberry, raspberry, and cherry. A stunning expression of English winemaking.
🍾 Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay – Crisp, refined, and full of vibrant citrus and brioche notes, this sparkling Chardonnay is pure sophistication in a glass.

If you haven’t yet discovered the magic of Martin’s Lane, now’s the perfect time. These wines are exceptional—and we’re proud to have them in store!

🍷 What We’re Drinking This Weekend! 🍷

Whether you’re after something light and fresh or rich and indulgent, we’ve got the perfect wines to sip your way into the weekend. Here’s what we’re opening…

🌿 Sharpham Vineyard Dart Valley Reserve (Devon)

🍒 Burn Valley Vineyard Regent 2022 (Norfolk)
This Rondo/Regent blend is a fantastic showcase of the incredible red wines coming out of Norfolk. Richer and darker than a classic Regent, it balances Black Forest fruit and floral notes with a touch of subtle oak. A beautifully structured, smooth-drinking red that proves English wine can stand up to the best!
