The Hay Loft Coffee Shop, Higham

I just wanted to share a small post today about the Hay Loft at Roaming Roosters in Higham, Lancashire. I visited with my  friend Liane on Friday, and just had to share how lovely this little Coffee Shop is. I have been a few times before but never got photos so have been unable to post about it.   

           

It  is the cutest little coffee shop. What I love about it, is it  an intimate room that is part of Roaming Roosters, my favourite butchers/farm shop in the world. Yes, I know that is a big and very bold statement. But the meat is great and the butchers offer advice on the best cuts to buy, how to cook etc. You can also buy ready made fresh meals like salt and pepper chicken, spare ribs and tandoori chicken. These are perfect for mid week meals when you have been at work all day and just want a good quality meal that is ready to put in the oven. They also sell fruit and veg and the best pink fizz, along with a great little deli bar. 

100 Days Happy, Day 90, Roaming Rooster Burger.

After a fantastic weekend which I am still coming down from, we enjoyed a lovely family BBQ. Here is my Roaming Rooster steak burger. They have to be the best burgers ever.

Joe's Easter Roaming Rooster

Last Easter Roaming Rooster education centre ran a competition to decorate an Easter egg, I had lots of great ideas but Joe was having none it, he wanted to go this one alone.

I gave him open access to my crafting kit for all the feathers and felt. He wanted his egg white and large, so we went next door to Farmer John to choose a fresh Goose Egg. And I gave him my French manicure pen. (He used it all!)

He set of painting and decorating his egg; he would not accept any tips or help. (I think he gets that from me) It took him 3 days to perfect but when he finally finished he called it the Roaming Rooster after the Farm Shop, he even made a little travel case.
