Birthday celebrations done right at Emily's Barn🥂🍾

We loved creating this special 70th birthday menu:

​🥖 Homemade focaccia with caramelised onion butter
🐟 Fishcakes with chilli jam or cauliflower veloute starter
🐑 Lamb breast with dauphinoise potato
🍗 Chicken breast stuffed with herb sausage and fondant potato
🍯 Sticky toffee pudding with butterscotch Sauce
🍓White chocolate cheesecake with roasted strawberries
🍫 Salted caramel chocolates

It was an absolute pleasure and we are so pleased you all enjoyed your evening. The feedback at the end of the night was lovely and we appreciated every word!

Nothing says "ready for summer" quite like a freshly jet-washed patio! 🧹☀️

​A massive shoutout to the brilliant guys at All Seasons Outdoor Services for working their magic on our outdoor seating area this week. We can’t recommend them enough ❤️

​Now that the space is sparkling and the weather is gorgeous, what's your go-to sunny day drink? 👇☕🥤

Patio season is officially on the horizon! ☀️🌺🌿

​Our flowers are blooming beautifully, and phase one of our spring clean is complete. We’ve been busy scrubbing and steam cleaning our outdoor furniture, and the tables are looking 'brand new!' 😉🧼✨

​We are doing everything we can to get Cool River completely summer ready. Who’s joining us for an iced coffee outside? 👋☕️

​Stay tuned for more updates!

Meet our newest masterpieces:

​The Hazelnut Harmony: A silky chocolate mousse and hazelnut dome, finished with a flawless mirror glaze and a white chocolate musical symbol 🎼

​The Millionaire Brownie: Chef Chris’s personal pick. You all know and love our Millionaire Shortbread. Well, imagine our signature fudgy brownie base, with a thick layer of that same homemade caramel, and a decadent ganache and white chocolate drizzle topping.

​Bank Holiday weekend just got a whole lot sweeter 🤤

CHERRY SCONES 🍒 Baked to golden perfection and ready for your Cool River Fix 🤤

​Chef Chris has these scones looking (and smelling) like a dream. Now comes the ultimate British dilemma: clotted cream or jam first?🤔
​
(We won't judge if you choose both. In fact, we encourage it.) 😋
