Monkton's Goat’s Cheese Potato Crown Crush.

Oh, this one has mischief written all over it.
Crushed golden potato crown sits on a glorious heap of seasonal leaves, as though someone’s been digging for buried treasure and struck gold. Then as if a naughty pixie’s been at it — there are cranberries and apricots scattered about like stolen jewels. Bold tangy tasty goat’s cheese, a handful of walnuts, and lashings of honey drizzled with the sort of enthusiasm that would make Aunt F***y tut and say, “Really, now!”

It’s bright, it’s bold, and it’s the kind of properly satisfying treat you’d gobble down with a glass of something nice or a velvety coffee.

Now on the specials board at Monkton Mead Café —
perfect for anyone with an adventurous spirit and a rumbling tummy.
Yum yum 😋

We are planning a Sustainable Upcycle Fashion Show.

If you are having a wardrobe clear out before summer please bring your clothes to Monkton Arts where we will select items for each themed runway to upcycle and artify for the fashion show.

We need fabrics, old table cloths or duvets and any clothes or shoes you no longer wear.

Over production of clothes is a global issue and we want to show that by sharing, adapting, styling and making new items out of what has already been produced we can be more sustainable and inline with our islands biosphere principles.

Anything we can't use we will take to Mountbatten charity shops.
Please share ❤️

Welcome to June. An early one this month so we don't become embroiled in the chaos of the Festival on our usual week. Looking forward to seeing you all.
