More Tea Vicar?


No self respecting open garden would be complete with lots of tea, coffee and cakes. I do hope you've settled down with your own 'cuppa' whilst reading this. Unfortunately my arms won't reach far enough to serve you from here! If you do find yourselves in Chippenham however, rest assured there's plenty of:
  • Tea - Earl Grey, Keemun, Nilgiri, Yunnan, tea bag builders tea, herbal or fruit teas
  • Coffee - Fairtrade or Columbian for your cafetiere or Gold Blend instant
  • Squash - orange, blackcurrant or dandelion & burdock - all no sugar added
  • Water - our finest cold on tap, courtesy of Wessex Water
Alcoholic beverages are also available for those in attendance at a suitable hour - beer and wine are our main tipples (plus whisky or Bailey's), but we thought we'd pop a few corks off the bottles of Elderflower Champagne to celebrate our gala opening. Zoe gave me the recipe earlier in the year if you're feeling more adventurous next spring and would like to try it, or if you're hedgerow harvesting this autumn, a drop of the old favourite, Elderberry Wine won't go amiss.

Cheers VP. I'll join you in a glass or three of Echo Falls. Fantastic piece of work this. Really well done. I'll be back later.

Have only just come in - but looked straight for the tea room. I usually go for English breakfast - hope you have something similar ...
