Christmas Opening Times, Gifts, Hampers & Parties

Seasons greetings to all of you!

We are all feeling especially festive here at Stydd Gardens despite the drab weather, the cabin is a beautiful retreat where the cold and wet is easily forgotten when sipping a hot homemade mulled wine or indulging early in our Romaneira LBV Port with a chunk of Blacksticks Blue, or even the chunky Game and Veg broth courtesy of Keith at Delicious from Home.

Opening Times

Our opening times are pretty straight forward this year; so rather than list when we are open, Ill tell you when we are not;

Christmas day - Closed

Apart from that, we may be closing slightly early on Christmas Eve and Boxing Day, but will remain open for the rest of the year and into the next, so come and join us whenever you can, we love the company!

Gifts & Hampers

Chocolate Hamper

Chilli Hamper

We have been busy packing up our hampers, the Chocolate hampers and Chilli hampers becoming particular favorites! So if you are stuck for ideas, these make superb presents. We can put together lots of themed hampers depending on tastes and budgets. Choose from local or Spanish Cheeses, Chutneys from "Heritage Kitchen" & "Wild about Chilies", infused Olive Oils, Vinegar's, Crackers & Crispbreads, and of course our Wines, Ports and Beers.

We also have a few unique gift ideas,
like the exquisite 2 bottle boxes, all from reclaim solid wood and each different from the next.

4 & 6 iron bottle metal frame carriers

This splendid simple wrought iron 8 bottle rack

Or of course our fantastic vintage bulbs and lighting. All made in Europe (much; believe it or not, even in the U.K.!) creating the perfect ambiance, you will be hard pressed to find lighting like this in the Big Orange hardware shop!

Parties

Over the last couple of months we have experimented and hosted a couple of private events in the cabin, and am happy to say they have been great! So we would like to extend our invitation for you
organise you private party, event, wine tasting here with us. We can tailor the event to your taste, theme and/or budget for parties of up to 15 people. Loads of flavours from the

Mediterranean Tapas & Antipasto style dining to accompany a selection of wines to try.
If you would like any further information about a private function here, please give us a call or drop us an email.

Stydd Gardens, Stoneygate Lane, Ribchester
More details; Stydd Gardens Xmas Fair & Market

Free Tasters

We have changed the tasting table this week a few things we think compliment the season and should be great with your Roast Dinner, whatever the centrepiece!

We have a Dry Riesling made by winemaker Dr Ernst Loosen of Villa Wolf winery, Pfalz, Germany. The medium bodied depth of flavour from the typical stone fruits; apricot, peach and nectarine should match your starters of smoked salmon & lighter Christmas main event, particularly Roasted Turkey! At £9.50; this is superb value for money from an exemplary wine and winemaker!

Next up is a single varietal Grenache from Willunga 100, the cherry, strawberry red fruit flavours in amongst the hints of spice and dried herbs and light footed tannins will enhance juicy beef dinner without overpowering the all the trimmings. All your Christmas' coming in at once when you pick this up for only £9.95

Come and try these great wines in the shop now and tell us what you think.

Port & Cheese

No Christmas is complete without the traditional warming little nip of Port. We have brought in some spectacular examples from Quinta da Romaneira; the range includes the 2007 Late Bottled Vintage, a 10 Year Old Tawny and the stunning 2008 Vintage.

We have added Port and Blue Cheese to our "Light Bites" special menu board for you to experience why together they are such an iconic match for the festive season; indulge yourself!

Our last festive treat for you in this installment is our homemade mulled wine and mince pies, both are sublime; we use our Berry Box blended South African red wine as a base along with seasonal spices concocted in our special way to give a full, thick, warming mulled wine. The mince pies are lovingly produced by one of our favorite regulars from the village, Nicola Fry. A thin pastry base with a broad lattice makes for full flavour whilst being light enough for you to indulge without spoiling your Roast Dinner!

Remember we have loads of gift ideas, hampers, vouchers, wine giftware, private functions & tasting evenings; even the incredible vintage exposed filament lighting adding lovely cosy spirit to the cabin!

With seasons greetings its farewell for now, we cant wait to see you soon and share what we have on offer!

Ben & Andrea
