Scotch Eggs
The original Scotch Eggs were invented in 1738 by Fortnum & Mason in Piccadilly.
They’ve stood the test of time and have been gracing British picnics ever since.
Andrew, Lisa, Simon & Debbie.
Tour de Bolster Moor
Our own Bolster Moor Farm Shop scotch eggs are homemade here on the premises
and though we say so ourselves, are just ridiculously tasty. Robustly made with
our beautifully seasoned premium sausagemeat, local eggs and the tastiest of
breadcrumbs. It’s no wonder they’re so popular.
Let us take you on a
Tour of Bolster Moor
Farm Shop produce.
Oh la la, it’s champion!
Grab one in the farm shop for your lunch or impromptu picnic today!

Longwood Junior Players
play features Bolster Moor
What’s new
up on t’moor
The Longwood Junior Players recently
performed ‘Jonny & the Bomb’ – a
wartime tale about time-travel and a
shopping trolley! They tweaked the
script to refer to Bolster Moor Farm
Shop (instead of Tesco) and used our
bags as props. Well, there’s nothing like
a local gag to get the audience laughing!
Well done on a great performance.

Baguettes & ciabatta
We’ve extended our bread range and
are now baking French style baguettes
(large and small), as well as Italian style
ciabatta. A lovely addition for summer
eating.
Our bags for life have
had a makeover.
They don’t get any
more Yorkshire than
this… We’d love to
see how far their Yorkshireness travels!

Great calving
& lambing season
Bolster Moor Sizzling
Steak night at Eric’s
The weather has been
kind to us and we’ve had
a very successful calving and lambing
season. They’re mooing and bleating
away in our fields around Bolster
Moor. Look out for them on your way
to the farm shop and coffee shop.
Following the success of our steak
night at Eric’s restaurant a few
months ago, we’ll be there again on
30th July. Simon and Luke Haigh will
be talking to diners about steak and
helping them choose their perfect
cut, from a very tempting menu, by
chef Eric Paxman. To book a table
call Eric’s restaurant direct on 01484
646416.
Huddersfield Food & Drink
Festival 2014
We’ll be back in St George’s Square
from Thu 7th to Sun 10th August near
the entrance to the train station. Just
follow your nose to our amazing Bolster

easily find us. See you there!

summer food ideas. With a bit

French Rotisserie-style
Barbecue Chickens
Look out for our new line of
freshly roasted barbecue
chickens in the farm shop,
for you to buy and take home
to enjoy. These rottiserie
style cooked chickens are
lip-smackingly good. If you’re
feeling in a French mood
during the Tour de France,
have it with yummy French
fries and mayo on the side.

Our championship-winning sausages are no

hoping a bit of their winning form rubs off when
we’re watching the World Cup. Choose your
favourite from our selection to throw on the bbq.
No Fuss Kebabs & Steak Bites
Barbecue weather is upon us, so our
butchers are busy preparing beautifully
succulent chicken fillet kebabs in garlic
butter, piri piri sauce & Chinese spice.
Maximum bbq tastiness! We’ve done the

Get into the Brazilian spirit during the World
Cup. Try our beautiful Bolster Moor rib eye
steak with chimichurri sauce – just the way
it would be served in Brazil. To make the
chimichurri, blitz up (in a food processor)
or very finely chop 3 cloves of garlic and one
onion. Add big generous amounts of fresh
flat leaf parsley, fresh oregano and fresh
coriander and briefly blitz further (it needs to
be finely chopped but not pureed). Transfer
to a separate bowl and add 4 tablespoons of
good virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons of red wine
vinegar and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Mix well and season with salt & freshly ground
black pepper. If you like it hot, you could add
the option of a few dried chilli flakes, but we
say don’t overdo it – the flavour of the fresh
herbs needs to come through, which will really
enhance the rib eye.

Zingy summer salad
Recipes the
whole family
will love this
summer
Pep-up everyday meals this
summer with our new ideas to
tickle your taste buds…
Chilli chicken stir fry
GA IVE IT
TRY!
Philly Steak Baguettes
The taste of America! Heat a frying pan
& add a little oil (olive oil or rapeseed
oil would be best). Take a sliced onion
& a handful of sliced mushrooms &
sauté in the pan. When softened, add a
crushed clove of garlic and a little salt,
stirring for a minute before setting aside
in a separate bowl. Add a little more
oil to the pan and heat, before adding
our special coffee shop sandwich
steak. Sear on one side before flipping
over and cook to your liking. Add half
a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
and freshly ground black pepper and
stir. Replace the onions & mushrooms
into the pan and cover with thin cheese
slices (our chantico cheese with
chillis and jalapenos is amazing here).
Cover for a few seconds so that the
steam helps to melt the cheese. Once
melted stir together so that the cheese
is combined with the steak. Serve
hot in one of our crusty baguettes.
Balsamic pork chops
Jazz up pork chops with this super
quick idea, which always goes down a
treat. Take our pork chops and rub all
over with olive oil. Sprinkle on salt
and freshly ground black pepper. Now
finely chop a handful of fresh sage and
rub into the chops. Grill or barbecue and
then drizzle with balsamic. Serve with
jersey royals and a nice salad.
7
Make a healthy stir fry packed with
goodness & flavour. Heat a wok or
large frying pan over a high heat until
hot. Add 2 teaspoons of oil and swirl
to coat. Add 500g of sliced chicken
fillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or
until browned. Transfer to a bowl. Put
another 2 teaspoons oil in the wok
and add about an inch worth of finely
chopped fresh ginger, 2 crushed
cloves of garlic, 4 roughly chopped
spring onions and a finely chopped
red chilli. Stir-fry for 30 seconds.
Return the chicken to the pan and add
chopped broccoli & perppers & stir fry
for 1 minute. Add a bottle of our Blue
Dragon stir fry sauce. Stir-fry for 1
minute to combine. Finally stir through
some fresh basil and cashew nuts
(optional). Serve with rice.
We love to make salads interesting and
this one is most definitely a winner. First
make the zingy dressing by putting 2
tablespoons of golden caster sugar in a
small pan and pour over enough cider
vinegar to cover it. Heat and simmer
until the sugar has dissolved. Leave to
cool. When cool add a generous amount
of chopped fresh dill (or dried dill
is fine) & whisk together well with a
fork. (You can prepare this dressing in
advance and store in the fridge.) For
the salad, finely slice 1½ cucumbers, 10
summer radishes and 2 spring onions
(it’s a lot of chopping, but worth it). Mix
together in a bowl with this season’s
beautiful lamb’s lettuce. Give the
dressing another quick whisk with a
fork & pour over the salad. Gorgeous!
Bolster Moor
Meatball Sandwich
Take a pack of our Bolster Moor Farm
Shop spicy meatballs, warm through
in the oven for 25 minutes at 180° and
simply serve in a really good crusty roll.
Great with a side salad, easy and totally
satisfying.

Piri Piri
Spatchcock
chicken
(oven or bbq)
This recipe is a great alternative
for bbq days but can also be cooked
in the oven. The bbq version makes
a really tasty blistered skin and
never fails to please.
Ingredients:
1 whole chicken
(about 1½ kg)
• 4 red chillies,
deseeded & chopped
•
•
•
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tsp sweet paprika
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
,
• 2 tbsp fresh flat leaf parsley
chopped
• 2 tbsp rapeseed or olive oil
• 1 lemon, cut into wedges to
serve
• Tobasco sauce (optional if
you like it really hot)
•
Cool down...
Don’t forget our range
of beautifully refreshing
local ice cream by Just
Jenny. Available in a
wide range of tempting
flavours, perfect for
cooling down with.
Method:
1. Choose a chicken from our butcher’s
counter & ask us to spatchcock it (to take
out the backbone).
2. Put the chillies, garlic and a pinch of
salt in a food processor or pestle & mortar.
Blend to a paste, then add the paprika,
vinegar, parsley and oil. Mix well and
smear over the chicken. Leave to marinate
for at least 1 hr or overnight if possible.
3. Roast in a pre-heated oven 200C/180C
fan/gas 6, on a baking tray, for 35-40
minutes. To char the skin, grill for a
further 5 minutes. Alternatively, this is
great for cooking on a barbecue. Place on
the bbq grill when the flames have died
down, cooking skin side down for 15-20
minutes until charred. Turn it over and
cook on the other side for another 5-15
minutes until it’s thoroughly cooked
through (check that the juices run clear).
Serve with lemon wedges and Tobasco
sauce if you prefer it really spicy. Really
good with potato wedges & salad.

In celebration of the Tour de France coming to our beloved Yorkshire, we thought
we’d take something that’s traditionally French and give it a Bolster Moor Farm

Ladies & gentlemen, we present our new breakfast croissants. Made on site by our
