If so I don't blame you.  Chatsworth is looking magnificent at the moment in the Summer Sunshine and it's always so pleasant to walk along the River Derwent towards the House.

If you do go to Chatsworth I would urge you to take a look at the picturesque village of Baslow next door.  If you are in Baslow on the 10th July why not pop in to Baslow Village Hall next to the Cavendish Hotel and have a look at our Food Fair.  It's free and we have some fantastic food and free tastings.  Entry is from 10.30 and we are open until 4.30 pm.

Hartingtons Food Experience

Hot & Raw Food at Baslow Food Fair

Hartingtons Food Fairs are all about contrast.

We like to put on a bit of a show because we know that's what you want.  Something different.  Not just another bland farmers market which can be worthy, predictable but ultimately not that interesting.

So we bring to you the contrast of hot and raw food at our next Baslow Food Fair on the 10th July.

Hot food outside courtesy of Piggy in the Middle.  We know that you like your hot bacon cobs to help sustain you as well as a steaming cups of fresh coffee and tea.

At the same time Kathryn from Raw Appetite will be bringing fresh salads and knocking out some unusual and healthy smoothies and juices.

So do you love food?

Are you at a loose end on Sunday?

Then why not come along to Hartingtons next Baslow Food Fair on the 10th of July.  Doors open at 10.30.

You wont be disappointed.

So if you love bread & baking come to Baslow nr Chatsworth on the 10th July.

Post modern Pork Pies

The humble pork pie!!!! It's a great British Classic and perfect at this time of year to go with a picnic or salad.

Can it be improved on?  Well pork pie isn't for everybody so Totley based Liberty Foods has put a post modern spin on the pork pie with exciting new flavours such as:

• Pork & Stilton
• Garlic, black olives and parsley
• Chilli, coriander & mango chutney

These flavours are lighter and fit better with the modern more discerning palate.

The launch of the new range of pork pies takes place at the Baslow Food Fair on the 10th of July.

Don't be late because they are expecting a sell out.  The Food Fair starts at 10.30 and finishes at 4.30 and is in Baslow Village Hall next to the Cavendish Hotel.

Baslow Food Fair - it's magic

We are pleased to announce that Benoit of BZ magic will be making a welcome return to our Baslow Food Fair nr Chatsworth on July 10th.

He will be appearing mid morning as if by magic & will dazzle and amaze you with not only his gallic charm but also his sleight of hand. Really, it is quite amazing.

Then he will disappear mid afternoon back to Sheffield. Not by magic, but by bus unless anybody is available to give him a lift?!
