Jubilee Jamboree!

Fleur — Thu, 17 May 2012 22:48:28 +0000

Its just over two weeks until the big Jubilee weekend, and here at Seasons we’re getting the royal spirit of it all with our union jack bunting up already!

Starting on Sunday 3rd June, we’ll be celebrating everything British, with our lovely staff dressed in 50s style costumes and vintage tunes playing! Come down for the Old Amersham street party where we’ll be recreating last year’s hugely succesful royal wedding party. There’ll be prizes for the best dressed and why not bring a picnic to enjoy in the (hopefully) sunny memorial gardens. For an extra indulgent bank holiday weekend, why not leave the hard work to us and pick up our Luxury Jubilee Picnic, menus to arrive soon and picnics can be pre-ordered and picked up on the day!

Visiting a friend for the long weekend? We’ve got plenty of perfect gifts all in the spirit of the jubilee! Tea and coffee with the iconic slogan ‘Keep calm and carry on’ and the ever popular Williamson tea elephants sporting union jacks and London scenes. Perfect for the patriotic brew!

If you prefer punch to pots of tea, then our Belvoir Summer Celebration Punch is perfect for a summer afternoon. Pour over ice with a slice of lime and a dash of gin for an evening cocktail that wows!

If all this drinking is leaving you a little hungry, then our Prestat Jubilee Truffles are sure to hit the spot. Emblazoned with images of gold carriages and queens, these chocolates are not to be missed! Get them while you can!

With all these chocolates, tea caddies, jubilee gingerbread men and punch, you’ll need a little help carrying everything. Enter our limited edition union jack carriers, handily compact in a space-saving pouch and unfolds to reveal a sturdy and statement-making shopper. Join the fashion elite and get yours now!

Mama Mia!

The Weather May Not Be Great But Our Deli Is!

Fleur — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 22:36:23 +0000

With Easter a distant memory and all the eggs devoured, its time to focus on fresh spring produce and what we’ve got to offer in our fantastic deli!

Our ever popular scotch eggs have gained some exciting new friends, with many new flavours to try. We’ve got the Ploughman’s scotch egg with cheddar and relish, the Monty egg featuring a hidden layer of parma ham, the ever popular Black Watch egg for black pudding lovers and for those of us that are less carnivorous, the Vegetabularian is a tasty scotch egg featuring chick peas, sundried tomatoes and spinach. Each egg is perfect for picnics, light lunches or as a supper dish with a side order of our legendary homemade coleslaw.

Another classic is the Godminster cheddar back in our deli by popular demand and staying for good! Known as the best best cheddar we’ve ever tried and a favourite among locals, this smooth and mature cheddar is a great addition to any cheese board. Store this unique cheese in its own wax and cut the top off to scoop it out whenever you need a delicious taster.

Hayfever season is beginning and if you’re a sufferer like so many of us are you may want to indulge in the local honey we’ve recently got in stock. Cultivated in hives on the Misbourne, it can’t get much more local! Proven to help hayfever, honey local to your area can increase immunity to pollen and thus lessen the sniffles we all hate.

One last note! You may have noticed that recently we’ve had a great range of fresh and delicious desserts and we hope you’re enjoying them as much as the staff are! Today’s special puddings of choice include Apple Tart Tatin with Vanilla Ice Cream, delicious warm, and Illona’s home made Tiramisu. Enjoy!

Seasons-to-go

Our easy collect & return catering service

Our unique seasons-to-go catering service enables you to order food for your party from our seasonal changing menus simply and quickly. You may only need a couple of dishes to help with your own preparations, or a full menu for that impromptu party planned for the weekend.

Creating the most popular of our catering dishes in a simple and cost effective way for you to be able to enjoy Seasons food at home. It’s so simple, many of our customers pretend they made it themselves – we don’t mind.

We only need a few days notice, and can assist you on your selection. Place your order with Tanya over the phone, and then simply collect from the café. Unless otherwise requested, most of our Seasons-to-go dishes come presented in china dishes, which means so no further preparation is required before heating or serving to the table. We do ask for a fully refundable deposit for our china, which we will return upon the safe return of the dishes to the café.

Changing each season, our Seasons-to-go menus offer a large selection from main dishes, salad and vegetables, to desserts and even canapé boxes—we’ve got it all covered!
