Trout Pate

This is a yummy recipe for trout pate that has been provided by one of our regular anglers.

Blend the following ingredients to a thick gloop:

Cooked flesh from half a reasonable sized fish (say a 3 pounder)
3 or 4 chopped rashers cooked smokey bacon
300 grams cream cheese
1 tablespoon mayonnaise (or horseradish)*
1 teaspoon paprika
ground pepper
sea salt

(*We prefer to use mayo, as it has a milder flavour)

Put it into a flat dish, and put sliced lemon on top.

Enjoy

Life's a Beach

Well, you may think that cows like to live on grass -  but this Winter the Whitewool Herd will be coming in to sand beds in well lit sheds, with clean water, fresh food and a cow scratcher to keep them fresh and clean in the mornings....

With the help of modern technology and a number of cow behaviour experts, we are creating a cow paradise - Life really will be a beach for Maizy & Whitewool Pancake....

Come and have a look on our Open Day - 15th April 2012

Cycle Hire by the Hour

We're always looking for ways to offer you better value at Meon Springs.  And having now hired out cycles for some time, we've just realised that not everyone wants to head out for a whole day.

For this reason, we have changed our pricing structure so that you can hire a brand new Specialized Mountain Bike for just £5 per hour....  See our Bike Hire booking page
