Visit in late spring to sample rhubarb recipes including rhubarb chutney and rhubarb & orange tart. In summer, we've salads made from the lettuce, beetroot and tomatoes that Mark has freshly harvested. Don't miss our autumnal warming vegetable soups and scrumptious cakes using home grown blackberries, strawberries and blackcurrants.

Rhubarb cake baked at Nostell, West Yorkshire.

Roasted rhubarb and orange cake 

Nostell is part of the famous "Rhubarb Triangle" area in West Yorkshire between Wakefield, Morley and Rothwell. We grow rhubarb in our kitchen garden as one of the vegetables but most often treat it as a fruit and use it in a variety of cakes and bakes.
