Four Gables is a proud member of the DeliciouslYorkshire Breakfast scheme: daily breakfast specials reflect David and Anne's commitment to using local ingredients, including many of their own production, and also Anne's background from the US.
David and Anne are health conscious, and Annes style of cooking reflects that. Some of it is just common sense: seasonal, fresh food of the best quality, organic whenever possible. Anne does use butter - but in small quantities. Free range eggs - we have our own hens, but they cannot always match demand - sorry. Bacon, sausage and tomatoes are grilled; black pudding is usually available, but you will have to order it the evening before. The cream is fat-reduced. Coffee, tea and sugar is Fair Trade and organic whenever possible.It may interest you to know that Anne makes over 200 jars of jam per year, using fruit from David's garden as well as wild cherries and blackberries that they pick in secret locations. She also makes over 50 pounds of orange marmalade (no, the oranges are not from the garden) and bakes approx. 100 tea breads per year. She began entering some of these in the nearby Tockwith Agricultural Show 3 years ago and has won a number of 1st and 2nd place prizes as well as a trophy - each year, including a "Best Preserve in Show". Their hen eggs won Best in Show.
David and Anne hope you will enjoy eating their prize-winning breakfast as much as they enjoy preparing it.
