You’ll need:
Season the diced venison and dust with the flour.
Heat the oil in the bottm of a heavy based casserole dish and add the meat.
Brown on all sides and add the carrots, onions and crushed garlic.
Pour in the wine and stock, add the herbs and bay leaf.
Simmer on a low heat for about 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is tender.
Add the potatoes and parsnips and cook for another 30 min or until they are soft.
At this point thicken with a little cornflour if desired and cook for a further 10 minutes.

You will need:
Suggested glaze:
Method:
Preheat your oven to 170 deg C (or gas mark 3).
Mix all of the glaze ingredients together and leave to one side.
Place the ham in a pot, cover with water and bring to the boil.
Simmer for 5 minutes then pour out the liquid and remove the ham.
Remove the skin carefully without trimming too much fat.
Score the fat into diamonds (about 2cm intervals).
At this point you can stud each diamond with a clove for extra flavour if desired.
Place the ham on a roasting tray and cover lightly with foil.
Cook for about 2 hours (roughly 30 mins per 500g).
Remove from the oven, pour the glaze over the ham and return to the oven for a further 30 minutes.
Baste at regular intervals with the juices from the bottom of the pan.
Sticky, sweet and delicious! Enjoy!

The Hampton Hill High Street Christmas Lighting Up Parade was a great success. Thanks so much to everyone for their support – there was a massive turnout and thousands of pounds were raised for three local charities (read more). We were selling our Cumberland sausages in a Roll with sauces, which were really popular, and we sold out a little early – sorry if you missed one, but we’ll do them again next year!

A huge thanks to all the young artists who tackled the Robsons Hampton Hill Summer Festival Colouring Competition. We had loads of really gorgeous entries, and Nan had a truly tough time picking! However, pick she did (Nan doesn’t let a difficult choice get inbetween her and her Sunday roast).
Congratulations to our winners, sister and brother, Lily and Jack! Your fabulously feathered chicken and marvelously colourful disco chicken were really fun and looked fantastic on our Robsons wall of fame – Thank you!

Pick up your chicken picture from the shop and get colouring! We are running the competition until Sunday the 25th and it is open to all our little customers. Please don’t forget to write a parent’s name and contact number on your entry form so we can let you know if you have won.
The winning child will get a special present and their chicken will be displayed in the shop.
Nan Robson will decide the winner – she loves chickens, so we thought she would be the best person to judge!
Good luck and get creative! You can use anything you like, pencils, paint, crayons……………

I have found some fantastic new ranges for the shop recently and will slowly be introducing them from the end of the month. The first is a divine range of spice kits.
‘Each clever little (no waste) pack contains lovingly selected herbs and spices and an easy to follow recipe. There’s a shopping list on the back of the pack so you can get all the other ingredients needed to prepare your favourite dish.’
I met Ketan and his sister last week and their business started when he was at university and his mum sent him recipes and spices to make real Indian curries that would remind him of home. I love this family run business. The kits are not expensive, have very clear instructions and taste fab. We had the Rogan josh (Zach’s favourite!)for dinner last night and it was delicious, simple to make and much healthier than any takeaway version!
We will also be stocking their Peri Peri chicken, Moroccan lamb tagine and other world flavours, so come try them out! From November we will also have their range of rubs in the most gorgeous collectable tins. Not sure which ones I love more!?

Thanks to all of you intrepid treasure hunters who braved the rain and entered our Summer Festival Piggy Treasure Hunt.
Well done Nathan! (age7) His was the first correct entry drawn out of our hat. When his family get back from their summer holiday they can look forward to the Family Barbecue Hamper that he won and we hope his kite prize is keeping him busy. Happy flying, Nathan.
We will be running another hunt later in the year and at Christmas, so keep a look out for those sneaky pigs!
Christmas 2024 Opening Times 
Happy 10th Birthday to us!
