This toffee apple curd is also perfect for this time of year

Wharfe Valley rapeseed oil

We love the dressings from Wharfe valley farm  so much we use them in our cafe. Their cold pressed rapeseed oil is produced without chemicals and makes the most delicious and yellow dressings.
They are thick enough to use as a dip too.

We also stock their rapeseed oil and have just taken delivery of their new spray rapeseed oil. Again this has been produced without using chemicals. 5 sprays is just half a syn on Slimming World too.
Personally i love the spray to take camping with me as it doesn't spill.

Summer news

We are enjoying the warm (HOT) weather here in Horwich and we have lots of lovely summery products in stock at Thyme.

We love these new 'slim' salad dressings from Lucy's

They are as delicious as her other dressings but have less sugar and less calories, so what's not to like. The light raspberry would be fantastic with goats cheese, whilst the asian would be perfect on an edamame bean salad.

Local honey is moving very fast at the moment but don't worry there will be a delivery next week to top up our supplies. Do let us know if it has helped with your hay fever symptoms.

We have some lovely products in our deli fridges at the minute, including some new vegetarian pastries from Forest foods, and summery individual savoury tarts by Tom's pies in 3 different flavours.

We have recently re-introduced afternoon tea and now sell afternoon tea vouchers which make excellent gifts. You can choose from our sweet or savoury afternoon tea for £9.95 per person. Pick up a leaflet on your next visit.

We are pleased to be stocking more local jams and chutneys from hamper cottage in Horwich. Tracey's raspberry jam is one of the best we have tried. 

At the time of writing we are still accepting applicants for our manager vacancy - more details on the tab above.

Have a great summer.
