Island Inn-ovations 2000 1211 Jo Butt

As lockdown restrictions are eased, unfortunately, it looks like it may be a little longer before we’ll be able to enjoy a refreshing pint down the local. However, planning rules have been relaxed so pubs and restaurants can operate as hot food takeaways during the coronavirus outbreak, allowing an increasing number of Isle of Wight pubs to find innovative ways…

Coffee – most of us can’t get through the day without a cup or two. Whilst we all love picking up a cuppa from our favourite coffee shop, it is nice to be able to create something similar at home or get it delivered! Get coffee equipment too on the Island Roasted website alongside their Wight Label Tea. Island Roasted…

Cream of the crop
Cream of the crop 779 516 Thea Welsford

With acres of pasture land and more hours of sunshine than the rest of the UK, the Isle of Wight is perfect for grazing – and happy, well-fed cows mean great dairy produce. Island farmers not only produce top-quality milk (some of which still has the cream layer intact at the top) but churn out golden butter, silky smooth clotted…

Bakers gonna bake: Ginger Biscuits 1500 2000 Jo Butt

If you’re at a loss what to do today, there’s nothing better than whiling away an hour in the kitchen on a dull and blustery day – and you end up with a home-made sweet treat to eat! Do cut back on the amount of ginger if you’d prefer the biscuits a little milder. These ginger biscuits are a family…

We’re not ones to productivity shame, as let’s face it, we’re all busy just trying to exist right now (juggling key working, homeschooling, cooking, cleaning and shopping during these difficult circumstances is enough to keep anyone on their toes), but now is a great time to get growing fruit and vegetables. Whether you’re a green-fingered gardener or a keen-been looking…

Sunday Best – get your roast on – lockdown style 1080 1080 Thea Welsford

Days of the week don’t really mean a lot right now but nothing says Sunday more than a nice roast dinner with all the trimmings – something us Brits do pretty well.

A walk on the wild side 1456 1000 The Editor

Smell that? That light waft of garlic on the wind can only mean one thing, wild garlic season is well and truly upon us!  Running from April until June roughly, depending on the weather conditions, you only need to take a walk amongst the Island’s shady woodlands to find wild garlic – Allium Ursinum to give it it’s Latin name,…
