What a spectacular ‘books in the wild’. Bill and Rosamund are not long back from an amazing trip hiking in the Dolomites. She thought a book would be too heavy to carry but Rosamund was so engrossed by her proof of Peck & Peck by Bonnie Garmus she took half with her!

Caron has been busy in the kitchen today creating some beautiful and tasty dishes 🫜

One of her favourite lunches on our menu is the very summery pickled carrot, red onion and hummus on toasted sourdough 🥕 We can confirm it’s delicious!

On a lovely summer day why not pop into the deli and pick up a nice bottle of wine or a beer to have with your lunch here at Mainstreet🍷

Vicky came into work matching ‘The Ballad of Ronan McCoy’ by Colin Morgan yesterday, and it just happens to be one of her reviewed books!

“This novel broke my heart. It’s a crying-in-public kind of book. An unforgettable coming-of-age story and a beautiful homage to unconditional friendship.”

If you feel like a good cry, pop in and get yourself a copy.

Unpacked at the cheese counter today comes Tomme de Chambrouze - and it’s looking extra delicious 🧀

It was described in the Mons Cheesemongers tasting notes as ‘nigh on perfect this week’ and Deli Manager Kim agrees! It’s beautifully fluffy with a fresh, mineral quality.

Come and get some before it sells out 🏃‍♀️‍➡️

Rosamund and Vicky have been enjoying reading out and about this week (and why wouldn’t you in this glorious weather!) 🌞

Rosamund was away on the West Coast reading ‘Exit Party’(published 17th Sept). She was excited to be back in the head of creative genius Emily St. J. Mandel 🌊

Vicky was enjoying ‘Captains’s Dinner’ by Adam Cohen (published 13th August) with a cheeky negroni. One of her favourite drinks and a favourite genre, what a combination! 🥃📚

New to our Deli comes .farm Cold Pressed Camelina Oil!

Camelina oil is full of Omega-3, unsaturated fats and antioxidants with a fresh nutty flavour. It's great for cooking or in salads. As if this wasn't enough to make the move to this delicious oil, it's also made from camelina that's grown (without sprays) on their family farm in East Lothian.

Head over to our Deli to get a bottle!
