Terre à Terre Restaurant Working With Stanmer Community Garden Group To Offer A Menu Celebrating The Best Of Sussex Allotments
Terre à Terre
has just released the Great Growers Menu – a two course menu working in
partnership with Stanmer Community Garden Group. The menu has been developed
and inspired by produce from the allotment and the local area and will be
available for the next 4 weeks only.
The
volunteers welcomed the opportunity to barter with Terre a Terre, produce for
restaurant vouchers, acknowledging that it was a great way to ensure they had
no surplus produce. However unfortunately this community garden has suffered
terribly from theft and some of their cherished produce including all their
edible flowers have been vanishing overnight. They have started recording the
site with cameras but are disappointed by the lack of respect and hope that
working with Terre à Terre and raising the profile of the group may help for
the future.
"Our
tiny charity, Stanmer Community Garden Group, supporting people with physical
and mild mental health difficulties, now has the distinction of supporting one
of the best restaurants in Brighton. Our members are very excited at the
prospect of growing and supplying Terre a Terre, which everyone in the group
knows about and most have eaten at. Growing in beautiful surroundings of South
Downs, our complimentary growing techniques don't always yield the most crop
but has the tastiest crops of salad and fruit we've ever tasted, even getting
some confirmed non-salad eaters trying it. We hope that the many people who
enjoy Terre à Terre will enjoy our crops too." - Jeanne James, Stanmer Community
Garden Group
The main
course ‘HopScotch Ploughman’s’ is a platter of Sussex tastes and surprises from
cheesy thyme bread and butter pudding to Harveys hops dressed Stanmer leaves,

little Sussex ale with a cheese top on the side. Followed by a meringue based
pudding filled with gooseberry ice cream and served with elderberry and
gooseberry compote. Available now Monday to Friday £19.95 for two courses.
