Two mornings in the Surrey Hills. Two very different things to take home.

Wed 4 November: paint a brass teapot, Our last painting workshop, the tiffin carrier, sold out. Next up is this beauty. You’ll paint it in acrylic on canvas with Nathalie, our artist in residence. She trained in Paris, has shown at the National Portrait Gallery and is very patient with beginners. You leave with a canvas ready to hang.

Wed 11 November: soap making
Annie from Naked Nanny Soaps shows you how to make cold process soap with chai, turmeric, citrus and gentle spice. You make two batches, enough for at least eight generous bars. Handmade soap needs a few weeks to cure before you can use it. Make it in November and it’s ready to wrap just in time for Christmas. Homemade presents, and no last-minute panic.

Both run 10am to 12.30pm at our café overlooking Silent Pool. £55 each, with chai and samosas when you arrive.

Stay for lunch afterwards if you like (£15). You don’t need any experience for either one. Groups are small, so spaces are limited.

The Sunday Times has picked the UK’s 20 most beautiful autumn walks. Number four? Albury and Shere. And guess who they recommend for lunch? Us!

Mists and mellow fruitfulness, glorious autumn colours and leaves crunching underfoot. Silent Pool does autumn rather beautifully.

So don’t save us for summer. Come for a walk, then into the barn for hot chai and a proper Indian lunch.

If you want you can also skip the walk. We’ll feed you anyway.

To every fresher worried about cooking, and every parent worried whether they’ll actually eat: don’t worry. We’ve got them.

The Auntie Box is seven proper dinners for £55 on the first order. Real Indian food from the Surrey Hills, cooked by hand and collected on campus every Friday. Every box has a main of your choice, chicken or veg, a biryani, two dals or chana, a rice, four flame-baked naans and six vegetable samosas. Your first one comes with a tin of masala chai on us.

Five packs, ten portions, seven dinners, and they choose every dish. One box stretches across the week. Biryani one night, a wrap the next, chana masala on a jacket potato.

First box £55, then £60. Order by Thursday, collect Friday on Stag Hill or Manor Park. Students only, so bring a uni ID or TOTUM card.

Student or parent, think of us as your Surrey auntie. We’ll keep them fed, and we love you for trusting us with it.

We are so delighted to announce that our Kingfisher Watercress Dal has won Bronze at the Great British Food Awards 2026.

A dal. With watercress. In the vegan category, alongside food from across the country.

The best bit is it starts with the ugly watercress grown down the road . We take the watercress and give it a very happy second life with yellow lentils, garlic and spices.

Now our unlikely little dal has a Bronze award which we are rather proud of, and of the two Surrey businesses that made it happen.

Thank you to Great British Food 🇬🇧 GreatBritishFood | Awards | Magazine and AhniXan , and to Kingfisher Farm for the watercress. Order the medal dal online, link in bio.

Three. Not one. Three.

Mandira’s Kitchen has been shortlisted for three Surrey Business Awards. I’ve read the email four times, just to be sure.

Best Customer Service, sponsored by Surrey Business Magazine from Platinum Media . Our version is knowing how you like your chai and refusing to let anyone leave the barn hungry. It seems to have worked.

Medium Business of the Year, sponsored by . There we are, alongside accountants and wealth managers. Not bad for a kitchen in a cowshed.

And the one that made me a bit teary: Sustainability Champion, sponsored by Thakeham . Nobody claps when you find better packaging or a use for the last of the ugly spinach. So it’s rather lovely when somebody notices.

None of this happens without the MK team. They turn up early, stay late and somehow keep the whole thing running on chai and goodwill. This is yours. ❤️

Thank you to Platinum Media Group, Surrey Chambers of Commerce .

See you at G Live, Guildford, on 19 November. We’ll be the ones pretending to be calm.

Every year, at this time, about our favourite visitors arrive at our pool without fail.

The swans are back on the water, gliding about as if they own the place. And soon, the babies should make their appearance too.

They never stay for very long, so come and see them while they’re here.

Have a little wander, stop for chai and something delicious, and enjoy one of the loveliest corners of the Surrey Hills.

It’s National Curry Week, and we have a confession. We don’t really do “curry”.

In our kitchen, we don’t churn out a dish because it sounds Indian. Every recipe comes with a person, a place or a memory attached. My mother’s Kaju Dhania Murgh, with cashews and coriander, The best kaali dal I ever ate, in a tiny place in Amritsar, which I spent years trying to get right.

Everything is made from scratch. Whole spices roasted and ground, small batches, a spoon dipped in to taste as we go. If your grandmother wouldn’t recognise the ingredients, neither do we.

So by all means celebrate Curry Week. Just ask us what’s actually in the pot.

Shop online or come and eat with us at Silent Pool. Link in bio.
