NEWS UPDATE FROM THE HARROW May Update Welsh folk law says that if you see Bees in April it will be a very hot summer That’s good news as from April 15th we have been bombarded by the large Queen Bees.
Well Done to our Rising Stars ‘News has just reached me of yet another wonderful achievement for Roger Jones's team from the Michelin-starred The Harrow at Little Bedwyn. Yesterday's Grand Final of the Jacquart Rising Stars Trophy 2010 was won by a 16-year-old female apprentice chef and her female sommelier colleague. We are told that Jaillin Argent, 16, and Heather McKnight, 24, 'produced a glittering display of teamwork with exceptional cooking and wine-matching ability'. Jancis Robinson April 2010
Taittinger Comte de Champagne 1998 ‘£50.00 a bottle cheaper than Harrods’ Our new Taittinger Champagne Terrace is now open, and we will be offering Taittinger Comte de Champagne 1998 at the outstanding price of £115.00 per bottle or £18.00 a glass, note that Harrods retail this champagne for £165.00 per bottle. Other Taittinger champagnes will start from £8.00 a glass which I am sure you will agree is the way to start off the day .
