Lyme Bay and Quicke’s pair up for pop-up feast at Home Farm

Two of Devon’s best loved producers, Lyme Bay Winery and Quicke’s, will be the stars of the menu at a four-course pop-up feast set to be held at Cakeadoodledo, Home Farm on Friday 8 December from 7:30pm. With each hearty course centred around Quicke’s clothbound cheeses and Lyme Bay Winery’s range of fruit liqueurs, meads and English wines, diners will be taken on a journey in pairing and sharing by this match made in Devon.

Nathan Maddocks, winemaker at Lyme Bay Winery, will begin the evening by explaining the selected drinks, including Lyme Bay Sandbar 2015, Christmas Mead and Apricot Brandy, and how they complement the dishes on the menu. Once a feast of home-cured salmon, slow-cooked Quicke’s venison stew served with Quicke’s Mature Cheddar cobbler and a festive sticky toffee pudding have been devoured, Mary Quicke will introduce the cheese course with a short reflection on the cheeses eaten that evening, as well as a potted history of Home Farm, which the Quicke’s family has nurtured for 14 generations.
