We hope you're all well and managing to keep bobbing along healthily and reasonably happily and that those around you are doing the same. It perhaps shouldn't have been a shock when lock-down happened but it felt quite seismic and took a bit of getting used to. And of course, no sooner than we've settled into a new routine, things are changing again, and so we are now looking to the near and further-away future, working out what to do next.

So... we will be open for walk-in purchases of takeaway drinks and snacks, and for pre-ordered food/drink collection, from Tuesday 9th June (see below for more information). This means that after this week - where deliveries will take place on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday - we will only be offering deliveries on Friday evenings, and will have a limited number of slots to make sure that we can get around to everyone.

In other news, it's the quiz tomorrow, and we've got some tasty new beers in stock - head on over to www.ebdonsrefreshments.com to check them out. There are a couple of new cakes to try and we've now got homemade biscuits to go with your cheese selection - whilst stocks last! And finally, this week's feast has a Sri Lankan theme and is promising to be Pretty Tasty, so please get your order in if you'd like to try it. 

More information on all of that below. Stay safe.

What's new in the shop?

There are a few new treats in the shop this week - some new beers, a gorgeous new Chardonnay, our lovely 'frizzante' Prosecco is back in stock and we even have a couple of new cakes for you to try. We've finally got around to perfecting a lovely seeded biscuit to accompany your cheese selections, and this week's Feast Menu is a spicy affair influenced by the food of Sri Lanka:

Sri Lankan Stuffed Pancake with relishes

A homemade rice-flour and coconut milk pancake stuffed with spiced cauliflower and potato and served with a coconut sambol and a date and rhubarb chutney

Carrot, radish & Cashew Salad

A fresh vibrant salad of crunchy radish and carrot, sweet creamy roasted cashews and  a zingy garlic, chilli and lime dressing

Lentil & Coconut Stew

Red lentils cooked with onions, tamarind and Sri Lankan spices, finished with a touch of coconut

You can buy each menu item individually, or as a great value 'feast' for £15 (£25 for two people). And as usual, we have salads, cheeses, olives, hummus, beers and wines as well.

From 9th June - opening times for take-away drinks and snacks and pre-ordered food:

Tuesday to Saturday 10-4pm (no food collections on Saturdays).

Local deliveries of online orders - Friday evenings 5-7pm.
