Cottage Pie Pie - yes you read that right, the luxury taste of cottage pie, topped with mash potato and cheese, encased in a homemade short crust pastry. Is this what dreams are made of? 👀

This weather is the perfect excuse to tuck into our pies!

We’ve said goodbye to the rotten wood that was once the structure of the horse box, and re-boarded the entire frame, even adding in the electrical outlets ready for a brand new pie cabinet!!

Don’t forget to keep your eyes peeled for us during the artisans!

One of the joys of our Mercatum Christmas Artisan Market at Haddon Hall is that it takes place inside the hall itself, giving you the opportunity to see this magnificent fortified manor house in all its festive glory, while enjoying a truly special shopping trip with friends and family! It also features lovely Swiss chalets in the glorious setting of the Lower Courtyard and a fantastic marquee in the Garden. With a line-up of some of the finest artisans in the country, the historic setting of Haddon and the joyous festive atmosphere, it really does make this a special occasion 🎄

Taking place Wednesday to Sunday from November 12th to December 14th, to book your tickets, please click here; https://www.haddonhall.co.uk/events/event/mercatum-christmas-artisan-market-2025/

The starting point of the renovation and restoration..

Rotting wood and a very tired appeal. Modifications mean that we have been able to remove the ramp our customers had to previously walk up to access the serving hatch, which was slippery when wet and not accessible to all. Bit by bit, the hard work is starting to pay off, but it’s always good to remember the starting part of the journey!
