Scrumpy Willow and the Singing Kettle

Scrumpy Willow and the Singing Kettle is a small cafe that's recently opened on Clayton Street, with the ethos of using locally sourced sourcing everything locally, and using organic ingredients.

Since there are a few of us that have similar feelings on the environment, and anti-globalisation, we decided to make a group lunchtime outing (as an alternative to the morally dubious weekly Friday Subway!)

Initially, their menu can be somewhat confusing (and possibly intimidating) due to it's "pick the ingredients you want" style, but it does mean you have the full choice of what you end up with.

Unfortunately, they'd not received a delivery this morning, and I don't think they were quite ready for a group of eight to appear at once, so some of our orders ended up a bit garbled (my roast beef, mushroom and pepper sandwich mysteriously transmogrified into a ham, pepper and mashed potato sandwich - not a combination I'd ever imagine, but surprisingly tasty!) - I got a free strawberry muffin as an apology, which I haven't eaten yet, but looks good!

Other than what I'm hoping are just initial teething problems, we were pretty pleased with our visit, and I think I'll go along again (probably just Tash and myself) when they've had more chance to settle in!
