A little something for our family and friends across the Atlantic
Celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada, Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to start the holiday season off by enjoying a lavish meal with family and friends. Originally celebrated by the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians to commemorate the first harvest reaped after a harsh winter, we at Frontline thought it was time to […]

Chicken Roundabout
A friend of mine lives near here and so do I, but we only realised how close we are when we started talking about the chicken roundabout. Chicken roundabout is a unique, and special place where a colony of chickens have managed to inhabit a busy roundabout on the A143 busy main route through East […]

First, one of my favourites – nice and easy, great when you’re short of time and have guests coming over. Lime cheesecake INGREDIENTS: 200g cream cheese 200g crème fraîche 90g sugar 4 limes for juice and zest […]
Snowdrops
More and more snowdrops are appearing everywhere in the farm. Spring is not far away. I can’t wait.
Down on the farm
Just returned from the farm at Ellingham Hall and thought I’d keep you updated with the goings on. I went to visit our new fish supplier down at Lowestoft, he also has an old smokehouse dating back around 180 years, so stay tuned for some weird and wonderful things coming out of that one! Apart from that, […]
The Frontline philosophy
Over the last two years, all of us here have been intensely thinking about our very own farm development at Ellingham Hall. During this time we have witnessed the gradual birth of what began as an alcohol fueled dream between myself and Vaughan – in which I believe passionately by the way – as we stared at a pile of earth making up the 600 hundred […]
Back to the pig’s ear
I’ll be putting the finished pig’s ear salad on the menu tomorrow and our new entry in at number one is…Warm pig’s ear and pickled farm egg salad with hot Tewkesbury mustard dressing. Things on the back burner for next week are: Frontline’s first piece of cured bacon, turkey and elderberry sausage, and a new […]
Chit Chat
A few thoughts on some things I’ve done of late. First, I found a great new Lithuanian supermarket that I stumbled upon on Saturday, had a superb selection of cured smoked sausages. So, of course I had to indulge myself in the name of research… Findings: they surely know how to make a quality sausage product. […]
Making a pig’s ear of it at Frontline
We try to use all the cuts of the animal in the kitchen, but trying to get people to eat the extremities of the beast is the difficult part, and trying to make it sound appealing to the customer – even harder. But I have been developing an idea using pigs ears and I’ll upload some […]
From the Frontline to Fish n Chips
[video:youtube:sUhSBTCuGCk] I blame this post on Frontline blogger Rob Crilly. The Nairobi-based, Africa-wandering, freelance hack has taken it upon himself to sample the African take on Fish n Chips wherever he finds it on the continent. Whether it be good, bad, indifferent or possibly dangerous, Rob has kinda foolishly given himself the task of blogging […]
The Frontline Burger
They come from far and wide to eat the Frontline Burger. I spotted the Economist’s man in Tel Aviv tucking in during this sitting along with two other club regulars. And at £7 a meatpacked pop, who can blame them.
