Following the huge success of the Rushfield’s Spring Meet the Maker event, it’s back, but this time with all the treats and sparkle of Christmas!
Rushfield’s Farm Shop is the perfect shopping location for all your festive goodies and edible gifts, and at the Meet the Maker event you’ll have the opportunity to meet local farmers, bakers, producers, cheesemakers, importers and specialists, all waiting with tasters and advice to help you find the most delicious food for your Christmas table.
Many of the Makers are local and all will be happy to chat about what they know best – sharing their techniques and explaining what makes their Sussex produce so special. Get great advice on building a perfect cheeseboard centrepiece; order all your festive meats and Christmas goodies; enjoy organic chocolate tasters and delicious gingerbread; sample specialist teas and coffees; see the range convenience foods, delicious desserts and hot puds produced on site at Rushfield’s by Elegant Feast, and get the best wine advice from sommelier Giles at South Down Cellars!
The famous pie kitchen at Rushfield’s is always a hive of activity on the run-up to Christmas, it’s where chefs Colin and Henry create new pie masterpieces for the festive season. This year is no exception, and at Meet the Maker you’ll be the first to taste and pre-order Christmas topped pies, sausage rolls, raised game pies and farmers’ pies.
Henry’s Horsebox will be outside with hot food, drinks and pies, while the Café is open with hot and cold lunches, great coffee and cake. If you’re feeling lucky, buy some raffle tickets for the Rushfield’s Meet the Maker Hamper; all donations go to MNDA, a charity close to the hearts of the Rushfield’s team.
Come along and enjoy the tastes and sparkle of a Sussex Christmas!
