Asparagus season is here. Sussex, particularly the South Downs, provides ideal conditions, with south-facing, free-draining soil that produces high-quality, tender, and sweet spears. It’s a short and fleeting season, typically running until late June, with peak harvesting in May when the warmer weather encourages rapid growth, sometimes up to 10cm a day. It’s truly a prized Sussex treat. To celebrate, we are hosting a lunch dedicated to asparagus on Wednesday, May 6. We hope you can join us. Read the menu and book via the link in our bio ✨

SWIPE FOR A SCENTED TEA! Would you like to improve your sense of smell - and enjoy a delicious Afternoon Tea, hosted by , with coffee/tea, sandwiches, scones, and an array of fragrant cakes and pastries to enliven the senses. On Friday 8 May, Jo will be back at The Star offering her “How to Improve Your Sense of Smell’ workshop, she is passionate about helping people to get the most out of what Helen Keller once described as ‘the fallen angel of our senses, and some years ago, Jo developed a workshop - which she had now shared with hundreds of people - to reconnect with this sense, improve their ability to smell, and deepen their enjoyment of all things olfactory. It’s a fun, interactive workshop during which you’ll smell things, take notes, share (no right or wrong answers - and this bit’s fascinating). You’ll learn the technique to open up a whole world of scents and aromas, developing your appreciation of scents - and life itself. You also go home with a gorgeous goodie bag of fragrant ‘homework’!
