This summer the inevitable draw of the outdoors will entice most of us into the wild and woolly Norfolk countryside or our unspoilt, rugged beaches, and some of us will even be brave enough to attempt to eat there. If you’re tenacious enough to circumvent the farmers gates, wasps and curious cattle, then the reward needs to be a feast .We’ve all moved on from soggy cucumber sandwiches, warm tea in flasks and shop-bought sausage rolls, so utilise some local-heroes and produce a picnic to remember.
If you want a really good pork pie they’re a real faff to make-thankfully Brays Cottage up in Holt make a nationally recognised, award-winning pie. With a porcine-pedigree of using roaming happy pigs that are kept in their family groups, and no commercial fillers like that weird jelly stuff you often get, and you can get them online at www.perfectpie.co.uk. At Dunston Hall we sell these in our bar with home-made piccalilli and they’re a real hit, especially when combined with decent, local, real ale.
No alfresco bash is complete without the quiche, the more retro the better-You can’t beat quiche Lorraine, and the supermarket stuff is not even a distant relative, more a sorry imitation.
