Hand Made Food


Handmade food uses local ingredients, organic if possible, hand-made food always. It makes food for the soul. If I turn up at Handmade Food in pieces, this is the only food I know that will put me back together again. Bacon and Egg sandwiches served everyday (3 pound 25p or maybe 4 pound - can't remember). Full English breakfast every Sunday. A medley of other favourites include salad of spinach, pine nuts, raisins and pomegranetes, salmon fish cakes, frozen dinners - beef bourginon, coq qu vin, fish stew, ready-made to go!, grilled tuna steaks with basmatic rice with spices. Cheeses, olives stuffed with garlic, peppers. Olive oil, wine, fresh juice from local farms. Served up with a huge dollop of pride. I like the rustic decor too, love the way they used chalk boards as doors. The upstairs seating and outside seating areas are furnished with old salvaged furniture that still look salvaged. Above the junkyard styled dining room there is mirrored disco ball. Pull up a chair, help yourself to the water, sit next to the sink if you want - that could be the only seat available in this crowded house. Super rustic, super nonchalent, super chic.
