Food

As summer turns to autumn, make the most of the seasonal fruit and make your own jam. Keep picking your beans, and when the foliage dies, it's time to unearth the onions.

As the nights get longer and the days get colder, warming soups and pies are on the menu. Use up leftover pumpkin flesh to make a warm and hearty soup, to banish those autumn blues.

Rich, sweet butternut with a spicy twist, this comforting soup makes a great autumnal lunch when served with hunks of sourdough bread.

Try this tasty belly pork and caramelised apply wedges and boulangere pots recipe to set your taste-buds tingling.

Treat yourself to some delicious sticky gingerbread.

We love local food. That's why lots of our properties have kitchen gardens producing fresh produce for you to enjoy in our cafés and restaurants.

We've created over 1,200 allotments and community growing spaces and they're a hive of activity for budding gardeners.
