Daily Telegraph Article - 'An Outstanding Farm Shop'

We apologise for blowing our own trumpet  but we thought that a recent article (Saturday 24th Feb in the Daily Telegraph Food & Drink Section, compiled by their food writer Rose Prince) might be of interest.

The article was based on local food shopping and in particular Newmarket. 

Herewith a précis:

She writes ‘…..yet good food can be found (around Newmarket)...The town has no greengrocer, deli or artisan baker, but it does have butcher’s shops and in the surrounding area an outstanding farm shop.………..La Hogue is a revelation.  This farm shop sells as much seasonal and local produce as possible and it is all superb quality.  Look out for Norfolk cheeses, Suffolk chickens and wild rabbits.  There are also classic frozen takeaways such as coq au vin and Italian-style meatballs.  An eccentric wine shop behind the farm shop has regular tastings of European and locally-produced English wines, which I found to be terrific value.’

Her summary of the local supermarkets was also of interest.  ‘It is the usual story with the supermarkets in and around Newmarket’.  Among the many lines (and there can be thousands in a superstore) only one or two are specifically locally sourced.  There is no locally caught fish, little meat (except sausages) and just a few sell locally grown vegetables.’
