Every time I go to visit my friend Georgie there is some seriously good food involved, wether it's homemade pizzas, a picnic or an cute cafe, she literally has an eye for an amazing eat. After spending the week in Poole on a Lush related thing, I thought it would be silly not to pop to the New Forest for a Georgie visit. And boy, did she not dissapoint on the food front! She took me to a place called The Cider Pantry in Burley (a town that used to be full of witches, according to Georgies local knowledge), which was not only super cute, but also had the most amazing ploughmans I have ever experienced in my life.
I think the picture does most of the describing here. 3 New Forest cheeses with cider chutney, pickle and salad, what's not to like. We also had a side of rarebit, which I forgot to take a photo of, as it was pretty much straight I'm my mouth as soon as it hit the table, needless to say, it was also incredible.
You'd think we might have been done after all of that cheese. Well, there was something else tempting us on the menu. Cider and sultana scones, with jam, clotted cream and tea.
They were the lightest, fluffiest and most delicious scones I have ever eaten. They literally melted in your mouth. It was the perfect place to sit, relax and ingest a really large amount of food. I'm already thinking of when I can next go back.
