This week we celebrate St Davids Day, who is the patron saint of Wales, as his feast day falls on March the 1st each year. Chef Jared has designed a special menu of Welsh recipes, ingredients and foraged items to help celebrate. More information on his ideas can be found on the 'menu' page.
In other news this week, I am honoured to have been selected to be on a speaking panel at the annual UK Coffee Leaders summit. The panel consists of six representatives from the specialty coffee industry from roasters such as Steve Leighton from Has Bean and Emma Loisel from Volcano Coffee to UK Barista champion Maxwell Colonna-Dashwood from Colonna and Smalls in Bath and Tom Hyde from Brew Lab & Edwin Harrison from Artisan in Edinburgh.
We will all be asked questions individually with the opportunity for the rest of the panel to answer, discuss, argue and stay quiet and then the possibility of questions from the audience. My question is 'how easy is it to maintain costs while delivering a great coffee experience?' Quite simply - very difficult indeed.
Anyway, we will see how it all goes on Wednesday. It is being held at our local five star Hotel, the Langham, so I am very happy indeed.
