We Sat Down With Farm to Fork Fine Dining Restaurant Jericho
Sun 21 Apr 2024From the chaotic scenes portrayed in series like The Bear to the high tensions captured in British dramas like Boiling Point, the intense atmosphere of restaurant kitchens is no secret. These environments are often characterised by extreme stress, with high-end establishments notoriously earning reputations for mistreating staff and inhabiting a sub-culture of abuse and exhaustion - so bad that it’s described by some chefs as akin to ‘going to war’.

Sat 10 Dec 2022Discover How Sauce Shop Went From Selling Bottles at West Bridgford Farmers’ Market to Stocking the Shelves of Sainsbury’s
Sat 18 Jun 2022From selling twenty bottles in a gazebo at West Bridgford Farmers’ Market to being stocked on the shelves of Sainsbury’s and Morrisons up and down the country, the last eight years have been a pretty wild ride for Sauce Shop. But the Notts-based purveyors of artisanal sauces are never one to rest on their laurels, this could just be the beginning of their success story, as co-founder Pam Digva tells us…
We Went to Nottingham's First Commercial Indoor Farm to Talk Mushrooms and Microgreens

How are Stonebridge City Farm and White Post Farm Coping with COVID-19?
Thu 04 Jun 2020The sun has been shining, the flowers have been blooming, and the lambs and chicks have been born. You’ve been able to feel the warmth on your skin and sweet scents as you’ve walked around your neighbourhood. Yes, spring has definitely come and gone, but the annual ritual of heading down to the farm to check out the newborns remains incomplete. Nottingham’s community farms haven’t been able to enjoy spring as much as usual, as lockdown has seen their income disappear entirely at a time when visitor numbers would have been at their peak. We speak to Anthony Moore from White Post Farm and Stonebridge City Farm’s Peter Armitage to find out how they’ve been coping during COVID, and how you can help support them…

Lucy Does Stonebridge City Farm
Thu 10 May 2018Sometimes, despite its best efforts to the contrary, life smiles at you. It recognises your best efforts to make the little bogger worthwhile, and sends a hiccup of happy your way. This month, I was gifted with an involuntary spasm of joy when I was sent to spend the day at Stonebridge City Farm to muck in, and muck out, with the barnyard beings that reside there. Buzz-ing.

Tommy Farmyard Gives Us The Hockley Hustle Lowdown
Fri 29 Sept 2017October in Nottingham pops off on a regular. What miserable glimmers we had of summer may be well and truly over, but the city shakes off the rain and comes out in such force that we’re crowned the UK’s Festival City for the entire 31 days. Adding to the mass of joy and wonder is the formidable Hockley Hustle; the charity music festival that transforms the cobbles of Hockley into a hedonistic paradise, all in the name of dobbing some worthwhile causes some cash.
This year, they’ve gone all out to bring the party to Hoodtown’s pint-sized partiers, and they’re proud to present, for the first time in the festival’s ten-year history, Young Hustlers. We had a word with festival kingpin, Tommy Farmyard, to find out more...
