At Thyme, our radishes are bursting out of the ground in great abundance and if you’ve never roasted a radish, now is the time to try. It’s surprisingly delicious. This salad can be made in advance – actually, it gets a bit better with time, because the onions have time to mellow a little. It works well as a light lunch for 2 or a side for 4 people.

A pavé, literally meaning cobblestone, is a square of layered and pressed potato, fried until crisp. The potato pavé crops up on many different plates throughout the year. This late summer combination is probably one of the best.

There is nothing that says summer quite like a perfectly ripe tomato grown at home. We have grown many heirloom varieties in a stunning array of colours and tastes - sweet, striped, black, green, acidic.

How Caryn Hibbert turned a bucolic country retreat into a holistic – and lifestyle – destination.

“A jewel in the Cotswolds crown is Thyme, a luxurious countryside retreat complete with chic bedrooms, spa, award-winning restaurant and cookery school”.

Amanda started Wyldwood Willow in 2000, based in Monmouthshire, South Wales. She attends a range of events and festivals across the UK every year offering workshops and willow weaving demonstrations.

“What The Hibberts have created here, is not a lifestyle brand, it’s a thoughtful way of living that considers its people, structures and environment above all else. And they’re keen to share it with you, there’s a generosity of spirit here that is deeply attractive. You get the sense that these are good folk doing good things and it’s impossible not to want to be a part of that”.

Producing up to 20,000 bottles a year, from their 9,750 vines planted on the warm and sunny south-facing slopes of Poulton Hill Estate, we are shining a light on friends of Thyme and local Cotswold wine makers Poulton Hill, in celebration of English Wine Week.
