Win two tickets to Concours of Elegance

Competitions, , , , ,

The rarest cars from around the world (many of which have never before been seen in the UK), the finest food and drink and a classic day out for the family is what lies ahead at the 2016 Concours of Elegance.

 

This year it takes place at Windsor Castle after Her Majesty The Queen graciously gave permission for the event to be hosted at what is one of the UK’s most iconic castles.

 

The annual event, which began at Windsor Castle in 2012 before moving to St James’s Palace, Hampton Court Palace and the Palace of Holyroodhouse in 2013, 2014 and 2015 respectively, takes place on 2 – 4 September 2016 and tickets can be purchased online.

 

With a raft of displays and trophy events to watch, such as The Bentley Trophy and The Jaguar Trophy, this year’s event will be a celebration of the ‘best of British’, all against the stunning backdrop of Windsor.

 

Of course, when it comes to exclusive events on this scale John Ross Jr is never far away, and we’re proud to announce that John Ross Jr smoked salmon will be available throughout the three-day event.

 

Why not visit us on the John Ross Jr stand, taste our world-class smoked salmon bagel and say ‘hello’ at the same time. Or, if you’re planning on visiting Concours of Elegance in style and thinking of taking the hospitality option, then we will be helping to create that ‘perfect picnic’, which you can purchase in advance and collect on the day. Click here to discover the picnic menu Mosimann’s has in store for what will undoubtedly be a fantastic weekend.

John Ross Jr is offering a pair of tickets for the Sunday, where amongst many other things you’ll be able to see:

 

  • The Octane Tour – a 90-car tour including cars from all eras of motoring.
  • The Bentley Trophy – 90 of the finest Bentley cars throughout its history, including Blowers and Mulsannes. A panel will then decide which is the finest model and deserves the 2016 trophy.
  • The Grand Depart – watch hundreds of the finest cars leave the grounds of Windsor castle.

Fun, food and festivities at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival

Food news, , , , , ,

Following on from our last blog, where we celebrated this year’s Whitstable Oyster Festival, we’re going to move 450 miles north to celebrate the largest arts festival in the world – The Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

 

Whilst it’s a less foodie-led event when compared with Whitstable’s fresh fish and seafood focus, it is one of Scotland’s key cultural events. In 2015, there were over 50,000 performances of over 3,300 shows in 313 venues.

 

This year, the festival takes place from 5 – 29 August and as there is so much going on we won’t even attempt to provide listings; you can get that here.

 

Besides, we’re all about the food.

 

So, where do you go in-between performances to eat and enjoy some of the finest food Edinburgh has to offer? Those who know Edinburgh well will know that there is no shortage of cafes, restaurants and bars with a wide selection of fabulous food on offer. From pop-up restaurants to Michelin Starred-restaurants, Edinburgh has it all.

 

To make it easier for you – and to counter people asking ‘where can we buy John Ross Jr smoked salmon in Edinburgh?’, which we regularly get asked in relation to other parts of the UK – we’re going to break it down into eateries where you can buy John Ross Jr smoked salmon.

 

Macdonald Cardrona Hotel & Macdonald Holyrood Hotel

 

Will you be enjoying the Fringe Festival for more than one night? If so, and you’re staying at either of these excellent hotels, then you won’t have too much trouble finding our smoked salmon as they generally proudly display it, with a John Ross Jr name check, on their menu.

 

The Glasshouse Hotel

 

If you’re fortunate enough to be staying at this stunning five-star boutique hotel, then you will no doubt enjoy the seasonal menus and, weather permitting, picnics on the hotel’s exclusive rooftop garden. As a customer of ours, you’ll no doubt find our smoked salmon during your stay, too.

 

The Dovecot Café by Leo’s

 

This artisan café offers a wide selection of stunning food ranging from salads and cakes to sandwiches and quiches. With a sandwich selection that includes hummus, beetroot and carrot with coriander as well as Mull of Kintyre Cheddar, apple and Leo’s tomato chutney, you’ll be spoilt for choice. But if it’s a smoked salmon sandwich you’ve come for, then their smoked salmon bagel with cream cheese and a wedge of lemon will not disappoint.

 

If you’ve been on your feet all day and fancy nothing more then getting back to wherever you’re staying – and avoiding pacing the streets of Edinburgh to find the three places listed above – then all is not lost. You can find a range of John Ross Jr products at Waitrose, Sainsbury’s and Tesco.
