First of all - sorry I havent posted, life caught up with me. However I have a review from today to keep you all happy.
Farm Gate Cafe - Kettering
This is the second time we have visited Lee's lovely little cafe just before you hit Kettering proper. I am currently suffering what we think is my 5th ear infection in about the last 8 months so my sense of taste is not the best at the moment as the infection has migrated to my throat - hence this review will be more on the atmosphere and what I could taste then my usual format.
Last time I was here I had a lovely lamb salad with pine nuts, grilled hamolui and greens and Stephen had bangers and mash.
This time I went for the small serve of rissotto balls with thyme and mushrooms, formed around a marinated goats curd with a zuchinni salsa. The salsa was lovely. Sweet with a lovely bite in the aftertaste. The zucchini was crunchy but not raw. The rissotto cakes were a lovely texture but I really couldnt taste anything...even though they were supposed to be mushroom and thyme.
Stephen once again had the bangers and mash and it was lovely. The mashed potatos were so lovely and creamy, and the pickle type sauce and sausages were wonderful.

Hey Tassiegal - thank heavens you've finally added another post! I really thought you'd dropped right off the radar.
So sorry about your ear infection. It must be really disabling, and that kind of thing really does seem to take a long time to get better.
We went to Farm Gate on Saturday, and I had the Warm Lamb Salad - it was beautiful. The others loved their meals too, so you're right - it is still of the same high standard.
Lee is looking at a few changes, so that will be interesting to see.
Great to see you back in the wonderful world of blog, though.
I'm sorry Tssiegirl, you didn't have any of that risotto/mushrooms/goats curd. It was beans on toast...that throat bug has completely thrown you!
Sorry, I'll behave...just glad to see another local food blog...the grub you had sounded very good.
Cheers.
