forage - Killyleagh

What a glorious day in Killyleagh!

Thank you to everyone who called to forage! We loved seeing so many familiar faces, and met lots of new people.

We really hope you all enjoy the rest of your day in Killyleagh.

Open as usual 9am til 4pm the rest of the week.

It's been a busy few hours in the kitchen but we have the prep started and we have some delicious options available for you all to enjoy tomorrow.

We'll be open from 10am til 3pm for takeaway only.

Sandwiches, Paninis, and Sweet Treats to go!

We'll also be brewing our range of hot, and cold tea and coffee, and our ice buckets will be stocked with cold cans of soft drinks too.

Whatever you're doing, we hope you have a great day in the sunshine tomorrow.

It's looking like another hot weekend in Killyleagh.

We're right beside the castle and open 9am til 4pm with a range of hot, and iced, speciality teas and coffee, and the fridge is well stocked with cold cans of soft drinks too.

This coming Monday the 12th of July celebrations are coming to Killyleagh, and we'll be open for takeaways.

So whether you're looking for the perfect spot to watch the parade, or have found a quiet spot to enjoy the sunshine, call and pick up something delicious to take with you.

A salad box to go! Filled with whatever you fancy!

The forecast says we'll be getting some sunshine over the next few days, so if you're heading out, call and grab a salad box.

Then all you need is to find a good view to look at while you tuck into something delicious.

We're open til 4pm, hot food til 3pm.

Oh wow!! Look at us in the Tatler!!

How would we even begin to thank the The Gourmet Boys for the support they have shown us since we opened forage?

The local hospitality industry would look very different without people like these guys pushing us all forward and shouting our names!!

Thanks guys!

Ulster Tatler

Curried cauliflower soup today.

Absolutely delicious, not spicy, but a little heat to warm us all up!

Comfort food, because we all need a hug now and again!

Dark or milk hot chocolate?!

'Don't cast a clout till may is oot'!

How many times have we heard that from the older generation?

Today is the proof that they need to be listened to as the weather has decided to throw us a hot chocolate and cake kinda day.

We're here til 4pm and open again at 9am tomorrow, we'll see you soon.

Look who called in this week!

Ryan from Ryan's Cookie Box is a baker, and his not-for-profit charity cookie box is packed with the most delicious treats. We've been fans for years!!

Check out his page to keep up with what he's up to and if you're heading in the Crossgar direction, make sure to call for something delicious!!

It's always a pleasure to see Marty Johnston from Eastcoast Seafoods out delivering his award winning smoked salmon in person!

What would Roy do:

"We use both the cold-smoked and hot-smoked versions in forage. The sliced cold-smoked in our filled croissant, and we add some of the hot-smoked to our open prawn. It's perfect for that, beautifully flaky.

"What would I take home? The peppered hot-smoked. All you need to go with it is a tub of salad and a homemade wheaten.

"If you have some dill growing, throw it into some mayonnaise and squeeze in the juice of half a lemon, or if you have a grapefruit, chop it into the salad. Both will work perfectly with this salmon.

"Rhubarb is in season, and pickled rhubarb would be great!

"You don't lose anything in the smoker, this hot-smoked salmon is a real powerhouse when it comes to nutrition. It's delicious and really good for you."

Keep it simple this weekend, but take home some cake for dessert too!
