Autumn Thyme & Free Wi-fi

Hello,

Well i think we can safely say that summer is well and truly over.
Which means only one thing - new seasonal products.
A little treat for us all hibernating from the rain outside - the cafe at Thyme now has free Wi-Fi for our customers.
Tracklements have released their latest seasonal chutney - pumpkin chilli & orange. Delicious with  cold costs, sausages or a pork pie. This is now in stock at Thyme, be sure to grab a jar whilst stocks last.


I am also pleased that we will very soon be stocking a range of delicious chutneys and relishes from local company Fat Jax. Based in Bamber Bridge, Robert & Paul cook up some fabulous chutneys (i know, i've tried them all) using just a huge pan and a wooden spoon. No funny stuff. 
We have samples of these for you to try before you buy, stock should arrive by the end of this week.


Last week i met Brian who makes a lovely range of handmade soaps in small batches right here in Bolton.  
We will be stocking both the cook's soap and the gardener's soap by the end of this week.
The cook's soap is formulated to rid your hands of any unwanted food related smells such as onions and garlic. Perfect for keeping by the kitchen sink.  
The gardener's soap is for cleaning hardworking hands (also perfect for winter skin).
Brian does a large range of soaps including a goats milk soap for sensitive skins. 



In case you're not quite ready to say goodbye to summer, we have just taken delivery of some Huntleys Baileys ice cream - why not treat yourself to a Baileys iced latte on your next visit (non alcoholic of course). 
If you're over summer - maybe you'd prefer a shot of toffee apple syrup in your coffee ?

Finally a date for your diaries ... our tasting evening this year will be on 22nd Nov. More details to follow.


Hope to see you soon.
Amanda

Local honey

We are stockists of local honey.
The honey we sell is produced in the Bolton area (Rivington, Farnworth, Bolton) and i am told it is used to naturally alleviate hay fever symptoms (please let us know if it has worked for you).

It also tastes fantastic. As this is a British honey (and not imported) is has not been homogenised and therefore has a purer flavour as well as retaining more of its antibacterial properties.

Bee quick though as it's flying out of the door.....

Cake tin hire

We are now able to offer a selection of Nordicware cake/bundt tins for hire. These tins are of exceptional quality and normally retail for around £35 each. As some of these are 'special occasion' tins, why not hire one from us at a fraction of the cost? Hire starts from £5 for up to 5 days.

Have a look at the tab above for individual pictures of tins available.

Recipes can be provided if required.

For inspiration why not take a look at   www.dollybakes.co.uk   - Rachel is a superb bundt baker and owns several of these tins (including butterfly & ship).
