Devilishly Delicious Desserts

Posted by Swains on January 27, 2014

Devilishly Desserts at Swains Farm ShopAnother great “cheats”product. Devilishly Desserts produce an indulgent range of decadent desserts. A family run business based in Aberdeenshire, North East Scotland, they aim to bring restaurant quality desserts to your kitchen.

The company has been supplying desserts and sauces to restaurants throughout the UK & internationally for decades and recently came up with the idea to produce them for retail so that you can enjoy them with family and friends at home.

The range includes a Sicilian Lemon Pot, Panna Cotta, Creme Brûlée and Pot au Chocolat. All four you just heat in a saucepan for a couple of minutes, pour in ramekins or glasses for 1-2 hours until they were set and then serve. Its that easy.

Brand new to the range are dessert sauces. Creamy Custard, Creme Anglaise and a Toffee Sauce. Custard is a product we are often asked for at Swains and have, until now, been unable to find a supplier so it is great to have finally found a product that we love.

So next time you have a dinner party, or just want to impress the other half, make sure you have one of these little cartons in the cupboard.

Just Brownies at Swains

Posted by Swains on January 17, 2014

Fall in Love with Just Brownies

Just Brownies LogoDelicious Brownies from Local Supplier Just Brownies at Swains Farm ShopChoosing a favourite supplier would be like choosing a favourite child, we just couldn’t do it! Just Brownies are however, among our favourites. As the name suggests they deliver fresh indulgent treats in the form of yummy chocolate brownies to Swains every week.

Based in West Sussex, Just Brownies are one of our many local suppliers and try to use local produce where possible, such as free range eggs from a nearby farm in Steyning. To add kudos to our opinion of being some of the best brownies around they were a Grand Finalist Runner up at the Sussex Food and Drink Awards for Best Food Producer in 2012/13.

Just Brownies were launched in April 2011 by Sarah in memory of a friend who lost her battle to cancer. Realising life’s too short she had to capitalize on every given day. Ever since its first batch of brownies Sarah has used her business as a springboard to raise money for charity, including Saint Barnabas, Chestnut Tree House and the Ronald McDonald House Chairty.

Among her menu are customer favourites such as Original Fudge and Sea Salt & Caramel as well as modern twists like Turkish Delight. Sarah is always interested in trying new flavours and likes to surprise us with limited edition seasonal brownies including a Roasted Pumpkin and Muscovado Sugar brownie at Halloween and an iced Bakewell Tart brownie during the summer months. Regardless of the flavour we love the crumbly exteriors coupled with a morish, soft and perfectly gooey interior. For a super indulgent dessert just warm slightly and add some Jersey Cream from the Farm Shop.

We hope you fall in love with Just Brownies in the same way we have when you next visit Swains Farm Shop!

Spice ‘n’ Tice

Posted by Swains on January 8, 2014

Full-range in the Farm Shop!

Spice 'n' Tice LogoWe’ve stocked Spice ‘n’ Tice for a few years now and their award-winning Spice Kits, Chutneys and Rubs have been really popular. They are all gluten-free and as they say, contain ‘no added nasties!’ Based in Leicester Spice ‘n’ Tice is not one of our local suppliers but they are a family-run firm with three Gold Great Taste Awards among other accolades. They are also members of the Guild of Fine Food and are HACCP Accredited. If you haven’t tried them yet you really should. Now, courtesy of a lovely new display stand, we can stock an even larger selection including their new range of rubs. They’re a great way of making homemade meals, albeit with a little bit of cheating! We think the Yee-Hah Chilli Con Carne and Mango Chutney are both particularly scrummy!

Great value for families in West Sussex

Money off Vouchers for Families in West Sussex
Kiddie Coupons Discount Vouchers

Swains Farm Shop and Garden Centre is delighted that we are included in the 2014 Kiddie Coupon book. It is full of money off vouchers for loads of great places in West Sussex that you can enjoy as a family. The book costs just £10 but is worth over £480 in free and discounted child entries, child meals and other savings. The compilers said of Swains:

The shelves are stocked with the most deliciously-appetising selection of locally-sourced meats, fruit, vegetables… and hearty ready meals, but the opportunity to stroke, and possibly even hand-feed the friendly resident animals, is rather unique to say the least.

The vouchers are valid for the whole of 2014 and you will find Swains in the blue section with a very special offer for your family worth up to £7, but you’ll have to buy the book to find out more!
