The Redwood

Launching The Redwood

An exciting new venture has branched its way into Horncastle, thanks to W Crowder & Sons Ltd! A brand new restaurant, The Redwood, is located on site at the well-established Garden Centre and Coffee Shop on Lincoln Road.

 

“We are so excited about the launch of The Redwood here at Crowders. Offering people a place to eat which is both accessible and affordable, and of excellent quality is something we have wanted to do for quite some time.” said Mr Robert Crowder. “Our grounds here have made the perfect setting for sitting down for a bite to eat during the afternoon or evening, overlooking our impressive 100 year old redwood tree.”

The restaurant is open 7 days a week for lunch from Wednesday 28th March and during Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from Thursday 5th April. It is an ideal place for hosting birthday parties, business conferences and club meetings. With a fully licensed bar, bespoke wine list and vibrant food on the menu, The Redwood caters for all.

Queen Elizabeth Hall Roof Garden – Southbank Centre London

A breath of fresh air in the heart of London! The Queen Elizabeth Hall Roof Garden shows how easily it is to create a living tranquil retreat in the most unlikely of space. Only a few minutes’ walk from the London eye the roof garden flourishes with fruit, vegetables and wild flowers. The wildflower meadow in the centre of the garden contains over 100 species of native plants and grasses which attracts butterflies and insects.

Wildflower Meadow

The roof garden features a lush lawn with seating area overlooking the river Thames, a café with outdoor seating serving drinks and light bites. The main attraction for me was the inclusion of a patchwork vegetable garden containing large wooden raised beds with runner beans, courgettes, many salad crops and loads more! The eclectic mix shows just what can be achieved in the most unlikely of places.

Meteor Barbecue Review

The Meteor BBQ Great Value?

The Meteor Barbecue from Outback was introduced in 2011 and is designed to fill the gap in the Outback range between the Omega gas barbecues and the Excelsior and Spectrum at the high spec end of the range. With more features than the Excelsior 3 burner but for a lot less money, something has to be missing from the Meteor right?
