Hi Guys. So, the forecast for tomorrow is pants but WE HAVE CAKE. And a log burner, a coffee machine serving up freshly ground coffees as well as our full blown brunch menu. Come along and see us 10-3…

Also in house, a brand new range of hand made crochet cakes by Claire Newman. They’re absolutely beautiful and SO very well made, all are available to buy at Clubhouse.

And to top it all off, we have a special offer – any cake and coffee just £2.50. And by cake, we mean real cake. We have a chocolate fudge cake, blondies and brownies, all made in house.

Hope to see you tomorrow!

Clubhouse

Come one and all to The Beacon tomorrow, not only do we have Clubhouse serving up brunch (10-3) but there’s also a yard sale. QUICK!

RHUBARB, RHUBARB, RHUBARB!

Our garden has finally grown something other than Dandelions and those weeds that smell of cat wee, hooray!

So, we thought to celebrate this (and of course the pure delight that is rhubarb) we would make some rhubarb and vanilla jam

After sampling it this morning on some toasted sourdough, we’re sure you’ll agree that this is really rather special. SO, come and have a go this Sunday.

We’ll also be baking up a rhubarb and custard themed cake AND of course will have our usual brunch menu of Eggs Benedict/Royale/Florentine, the ever popular potato hash and last but not least, scrambled chickpeas.

SEE YOU SUNDAY!

And thats not all. Our bar will also be offering Kir Royal and ice cold beers alongside our Clubhouse brunch menu THIS SUNDAY (26th only) 10-3

Thanks to all of those who came to our first brunch last Sunday, it was a great success. Thanks also to the sun, our garden just wouldn’t be the same without it.

SO, weather depending (the forecast is looking ok so far) we will be dining al fresco this Sunday. Please come and join us between 10 and 3 for our delicious menu of brunch delights ; Eggs Benedict/Florentine, Scrambled Chickpeas or perhaps try this weeks Sussex bacon and potato hash.

We also serve freshly made frothy coffee which accompanies our home made cakes a treat!

Or check out the mirror menu in the bar for this weeks smoothie

See you on Sunday

The Clubhouse needs artwork for their walls. For enquiries and submissions, please email us beaconclubhouse@gmail.com

I had assumed it was an artist from the late 19th century. This is incorrect.

A Gaucho is a resident of the South American pampas, or grasslands. They are experts at herding cows, on horseback. Very much like a cowboy. Through the years, the Gauchos have grown to be greatly admired and renowned in legends, folklore and literature, hence, they have now become an important part of their regional cultural tradition.

Want to know more?

Then come to this Fridays talk with Francisco de Francesca who’ll be revealing all on the style, myth, legend and lifestyle of the Gauchos.

Tickets £15, includes a two course supper themed (loosely) around a Gaucho menu such as Locro, Quinoa salad, Chimichurri and Faina. You may well not have heard of any of those things but trust me, they’ll be tasty. Plus, they’ll be swiftly followed with a salted caramel chocolate pot, made using dulce de leche – an Argentinian staple.

Booking essential, so please call us on 01424 431 305 or email info@beaconhastings.com

Til Friday Amigos

Please join us on Friday 6th March for an evening of enlightenment and entertainment.

Beginning with screening an award winning film which tells the story of a local farmer saving his family farm and turning his back on cost cutting dairies and supermarkets, resulting in a “laugh-out-loud roller coaster of a journey”

Watch trailer here http://www.the-mooman.co.uk/page1/index.html

Moo Man (Steve Hook) himself will hopefully be present to give a talk and answer any questions you may have on this highly topical subject, whilst we feast on two courses of home cooked delights, including tasters of the milk.

We are very keen to support Hook & Son’s farm (currently under threat from housing development) and have recently set our kitchen to work by producing dishes using raw milk, an organic udderly brilliant ingredient. Guys, this milk is not only delicious as it is but is also really good for you in ways that shop bought pasteurised milk just cannot compete.

BEHOLD our home made yoghurt! Full menu to follow soon…
