Pensons Restaurant Chef de Partie Pensons are looking for a Chef de Partie to join Head Chef Chris Simpson and their team as they continue to grow their restaurant. This is a fantastic opportunity to work directly with Chris, be part of a small, fun, dynamic team and learn more about the benefits of working with produce grown in the kitchen garden and local area. Pensons is an ingredient-led, Michelin-star restaurant, that celebrates the very best that the local area has to offer. They passionately believe that great cooking starts with the quality, seasonality and freshness of the ingredients you use.

They source their meat from carefully selected local butchers and farmers to ensure the highest quality produce that has been grass-fed and reared outside. And their fish comes from boats in Cornwall using sustainable fishing methods and is delivered fresh to them overnight. Location Herefordshire/Worcestershire Border, WR15 8RT Remuneration Competitive salary plus tronc, accommodation on site if required. How to Apply Please email your CV to careers@pensons.co.uk

Gattertop Drinks: artisan, award winning spirits made with organically grown fruits and botanics from Herefordshire orchards and hedgerows. ‘Gemma spent a childhood sampling orchard fruits in their orchards at Gattertop in Herefordshire, which was the inspiration behind creating delicious vodka drinks. Benefitting from an abundance of home-grown produce at the historic family farm of Gattertop, Gemma experimented with various spirits until she found the award-winning recipes. It was a glut of the delicious damsons from the orchards at Gattertop each summer that inspired the creation of the brand. Production increased from litre bottles and demi-johns to full size barrels and moved from the kitchen to a barn on the farm – and the first product – Damson No. 12 vodka liqueur was born. Since then Gemma identified a gap in the botanical vodka market as an alternative to gin. When Damson No 12 was entered into the Great Taste Awards it was immediately awarded two stars in its first year. It has subsequently won multiple awards and is still made to the same recipe in the same careful way. In 2020, Gemma created a new product. Botanic No 7 which tells the same orchard story, and brings a collection of […]

Hereford Cathedral Open Gardens

This summer, Hereford Cathedral will be hosting a series of Open Garden events for visitors. Leading down to the River Wye, Hereford Cathedral Gardens are a hidden gem nestled within the cathedral grounds. At their own leisure, visitors can explore the peaceful Cloisters, the colourful Canon’s garden, the private gardens of the Dean and Bishop and the historical Chapter House garden. A team of volunteer gardeners and guides will be on hand to answer questions and also share the fascinating history of these beautiful spaces, most of which aren’t normally open to the public. Each summer, the gardens would normally be opened for guided tours but due to the ongoing restrictions in 2020, these tours were not able to take place. Instead, the cathedral team organised two Open Garden days which were fully booked within weeks and proved to be a hit with visitors. This year, as guidance around restrictions is likely to change throughout the summer months, the cathedral has decided to increase the amount of Open Garden events so that these beautiful spaces can be shared with as many people as possible. Dates for visitors to start their tours are as follows and each session is 1.5 hours […]

I will then provide you with a selection of designs from which you will choose three to carve. Saturday ~ Relief Printing You will remove the fabric from the dye and put it to dry before you will be able to relief print this with the three designs you chose to carve on Friday.
