Herb Garden Flourishes

Head Chef Picking Herbs
The Boathouse restaurant prides itself on using fresh, locally sourced ingredients as much as possible and you can't get fresher or closer than this!
Earlier this year, a small garden area outside the kitchen window was planted with herbs for use in the daily menu. I am delighted to tell you that the herbs are growing well and each morning, Kate Taylor (head chef and manageress) can be seen picking herbs for that day.
Some herbs, including the flat parsley have been "trimmed" a little more than anticipated recently as  goslings have heads small enough to fit through the fence and have been supplementing their diet! Hopefully, they will soon grow too big.
Next time you are passing, stop and see how many you can identify (keep an eye out for goslings with their heads stuck in a fence)
