Sussex Wine, Wellness in the Wild, pleasing with pasta and Halloween.
Preview Text
It’s the last week of the local harvest and Sussex vineyards are waist deep in ripe grapes. After a fairly dismal summer, the early autumn sunshine produced a bumper harvest and yields are likely to be the best yet. Grateful wine makers and willing volunteers joined forces to bring in the crop and now the alchemy can begin.

Many others offer wine tastings so you can learn and enjoy at the same time. For the wine curious, here’s the low-down from local expert Tom Surgey - a harvest treat from us to you...

RB Diary
A bit of bad news first…
This year ‘no shows’ have doubled costing the UK hospitality industry a ridiculous £17bn in lost revenue alone. We’ve heard from local restaurants that this is becoming a real problem. So if your plans change, just ring and rebook. It will be hugely appreciated.
Now some wonderful news…
It's heartwarming to find our community spirit so strong. The Salt Room raised £21,100 for Martlets with their fundraising dinner and auction. Also, more local venues have signed up to support the LOVE FOOD SHARE FOOD campaign. Look out for the logo for your chance to give.
Yours gratefully,
Hannah & Team RB
