Day In The Vines

On the 20th June, we took a group of Riddle and Finns patrons over to visit our friends at Court garden Vineyard and Wine Estate. It was a fantastic day celebrating the very best of Sussex food and wine. After welcoming guests with breakfast and Bloody Marys at Riddle & Finns, we travelled to the vineyard where hosts Hugo and Howard shared their passion, knowledge and plenty of humour during a tour of the vines and winery.

Following a tasting of Court Garden’s award-winning sparkling wines, paired with freshly shucked oysters served by the Riddle & Finns team, guests seafood platter picnics  on the vineyard terrace. With great food, exceptional wine and beautiful Sussex sunshine, it was the perfect day out in the vines.

Community Kitchen - Ready, Steady, Hook

Our very own Pat Timpson from Riddle & Finns has led hands-on seafood cooking classes at Brighton Community Kitchen for nearly a decade now .With fresh seafood generously donated by BNFS, Pat showed participants how simple, fun, and approachable cooking with fish can be.

Guests learned essential knife skills and seafood prep techniques, cooked a delicious meal — including tasty prawn dishes — and sat down together to enjoy what they’d made. A fantastic experience that built confidence in the kitchen and brought people together through great food.
