Looking for Ideas !

2010-01-25T07:30:00.000-08:00

I'm not sure if you all watch cooker programmes, but we keep catching site of Market Kitchen on Sky and the food they prepare especially for under a fiver, is superb and fun. Winter is still well and truly here, so been looking at some of the warm and filling dishes and just tried out a twist on the obligitory Chilli which is just a great dish. Check out their site Market Kitchen

However lunch times are usually when a sandwich suffices but having just tried Tee's Stilton & White Onion Soup to her own recipe - I can strongly recommend that soup should be in your lunch time menu, its just a great filled and lovely and warm at this time of the year. From this, I think we will start to post a few recipes in the future, so watch this space !

Having heard of this Championship on several occassions, I don't think Herefordshire people quite understand the magnitude of what we have all achieved in getting this event to Hereford. Its massive and a big shout of thanks goes to the people who pushed to get this into the county... Well done !!

Thawing !!

2010-01-14T03:57:00.000-08:00

Having only just ventured to the office, the paths are now clearing and the snow is sliding from the roofs, indicating that a thaw might just be on the way.

Obviously business has been quiet on the accommodation front but also the catering with people not able to get to events, so Tee has been busy with revamping the menus for both sides of the business. Breakfast at Treaddow is just so important to us as its always the last chance to impress, so this is having a make over to the point that Tee has mentioned about having chickens... Not that we already have enough on our plates.

So come the warmer weather, it look like we will be building a chicken run in the orchard and free range eggs will be on the menu. Until then its clearly a case of keeping warm and doing more sales work...

Snowey New Year !!

2010-01-05T07:16:00.000-08:00

...and a very Happy New Year to everyone from a cold and snowey St. Owen's Cross!!

But we have the heating on 24/7 and the wood burners lit, so its a really cosy place to be at the monment.

Tee has been busy packing up all the decorations to indicate the start of a fresh new year, but still feels like holiday mood, especially with so many people still off work due to the weather.

Anyhow, we are fully open for business and hopefully looking forward to a busy 2010...

Hello Christmas

2009-12-24T13:43:00.000-08:00

With just a few hours until Christmas Day, we just wanted to wish everyone a very happy Christmas, with the hope that Santa brings you everything that you had wished for.

We are spending a well earned few quiet days here at Treaddow with no guests and a bit of time to enjoy doing nothing, but looking forward to Tee's Christmas lunch including sprouts.

Have a great time - Best Wishes Nigel & Tee

Who Are We!!

2009-11-01T04:10:00.000-08:00

Apricot Catering is an Event & Outside Catering business located just outside Ross-on-Wye at St. Owen's Cross.

Originally established in 1999 as part of our hotel operation in Shropshire, we moved into Hereforshire in 2003 to a purpose built kitchen, store and offices.

Primarily operating throughout Herefordshire and the surrounding counties, we also travel through out the UK if required.

We were the first Fairtrade Caterer in Herefordshire and ahve a very strong view on green issues to the point that we have just gained planning permission for a wind turbine that will provide all the power for the business from mid 2010.
