Hot on the heels of summer, June is one of my favourite months. British produce is still in plentiful supply and we welcome lots of our customers for a spot of alfresco dining or a glass of rosé or two in our cool, airy restaurants.

And if you haven't already booked, tables are going fast at our Bluebell Supper Clubs, so take a look and I hope to see you at one of the evenings.

Best wishes

2019 BLUEBELL VINEYARD SUPPER CLUB SERIES

Following our sell-out evening with Rubies in the Rubble last month, the next Supper Club I will be hosting is all about Jake's Gin. Book your tickets here or read more about Jake's below.

GREAT BRITISH SUPPLIERS

JAKE'S ARTISAN SMALL BATCH LONDON DRY GIN

I’m delighted to be able to celebrate Jake’s Gin this month, owned and run by husband and wife team Edward and Julie May. Named after their dog, who has a lust for life and an infectious enthusiasm for all good things, Jake’s Gin was born in 2019 after a year of building their distillery and experimenting.

With 21 botanicals, Jake’s Gin is unique and delicious with spicy, floral and citrus sweet notes with a very smooth finish. Read more here

1st Prize – a visit to the Jake’s Gin distillery and meet the maker plus a bottle to take home

2nd and 3rd prize – a 70cl bottle of Jake’s Gin

Congratulations to our International Organ Festival winners (first prize) Natalie Vescia and (second prize) Robyn Armstrong who won the superb prizes on offer last month.

NEW DISHES

Our spring menu is going strong and we’re so happy that we’ve had some great feedback. If you haven’t tried it yet, come and check it out. Our food is comfort and everything you want it to be, think MSC Plaice Fillet with brown shrimps, paprika, caper butter and house chips; Wild Mushroom and Sheep’s Curd Bruschetta and the House Organic Burger is always a winner, served with pommes frites, Chimichurri rub, avocado and lime mayo with sweet & sour onions.

All sweet tooths cured with a range of tempting desserts; the Orange and Almond Pudding served with country cream ice cream is one of my current favourites.

ALFRESCO DINING IN HARPENDEN

Now the summer is back and in full swing, join us on our outside terrace in Harpenden for a spot of alfresco dining, and enjoy a complimentary glass of rosé on us.

* Valid for Lussmanns Harpenden only, whilst dining from the house menu. One 125ml glass per person. Please show your newsletter to a member of our team.

LUSSMANNS & SEA PARTNERSHIP

To coincide with World Ocean’s Day (8th June), I’m proud to be supporting the Environmental Justice Foundation’s Save the Seas Campaign.

Between 8th June and 8th July, we’ll be raising money for this worthwhile charity who are working to protect our oceans and marine wildlife from plastic pollution and illegal fishing, by donating £1 from every fish dish from our specials menu to the charity.

If you enjoy a little jazz, like me, make sure you reserve your table at Lussmanns St Albans this July where we’ll be hosting the UK’s most talented musicians who’ll be taking part in the St Albans International Organ Festival that’s coming to town.
