Marmalade

We are keen here to provide quality products. We used to get all our jams and marmalade from a nice little cottage industry in St Bees. Unfortunately Skip, one of the partnership, died last year after a long and fruitful life. Although there are similar producers elsewhere in Cumbria, the supply chain does not make it easy to obtain them from this remote corner of the area. We were offered some Servile oranges a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully this week we will get around to putting 40Kg of various marmalades into jars.

This year we have more or less completed our transformation of the business. We are happy with our general product range. We have looked out for quality products and now this is the pivotal core of our ethos. This does of course cause us problems with the lager & lime and the ketchup brigade, but we seem to win most people round. Kreik of course helps the first problem, many lager and lime drinkers being converted immediately.

There is still things to do on the building though. Too much to get all of it done before the summer trade starts. We're expecting a quiet week so we're shutting the doors until Friday (27th February) so we can get the marmalade in the jars and to catch up on other essential work.
