Just a quick reminder to everyone that we're open every day during the Easter holiday break, 10.00-5.00, including Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday.
There are new ranges to see in the gift shop and a new collection of photographs in the Gallery by Steve Blake including some beautiful views of the River Gelt.
The weather looks good for walking and we've our outdoor terrace which is a great place to relax, quite a sun trap out of the fresh Spring breeze!

Walking from Brampton to Lanercost
We are delighted to post our first recommended walk from Barrie, one of our regular guests. Barrie has chosen the lovely walk from Brampton, up onto the ridge and then down to the valley of the Irthing.
The perfect half day walk – BRAMPTON – LANERCOST – BRAMPTON
If you’re looking for a walk ideal for a morning or afternoon try this
one. It’s a circular walk starting and ending in Brampton with an
excellent stopping place for refreshment half way. It's not too
strenuous but there is a little gentle rise and fall which shouldn't
tax most walkers.
STAGE 1 Brampton to Lanercost.
(Approx an hour and a half)
Park just out of Brampton where the Lannercost road branches left. Pick
up the public footpath on the left of the road. The path takes you up
through the woods at the back of the The Mote. The path then follows
the wonderful Brampton Ridge, lined with magnificent beech trees and
giving great views to the north. The path drops down off the ridge and
meets a lane. Turn right for about 100 metres where you’ll cross the
road to Lanercost through a gate into The Keep Wood. The path follows
the river through a stunning valley and gorge passing close to a stone
cutting works before emerging by the Lanercost Bridge. Lanercost Priory
and the new tea room/shop/gallery complex are half a mile down the road.
STAGE 2 Enjoy the delights of the Lanercost tea room, gift shop and
gallery.
STAGE 3 Reverse the walk back to Brampton.
TOTAL TIME – 4 HOURS.(approx.)
We plan to expand our photography gallery so that these walks can be well illustrated but for the moment we have used this picture of Lanercost taken from Boothby bank, courtesy of AlistairG.

Our newsletters and the blog
With our March newsletter nearly ready to be emailed we thought it would be a good idea to say a little about how we have changed it and how it fits into our thinking on this blog.
For the first newsletters which we sent I would use my own email account which wasn't really ideal. We wanted to find a way to manage our address book better, allow us to include pictures and to link to other websites like our blog. The website we use for this is an American one called Mailchimp. They offer a secure and professional service and we hope that you will find the new newletters better.
When you first open your newsletter you might not see the photo's we have included. If this happens you need to look for a message near the top of the email which will say something like "Show photographs from this sender?". Click this and you will then see any photographs.
We have started our blog for two really important reasons:
1. We wanted a way to quickly and conveniently let you know about what is going on at the Tea room
and
2. We wanted to give you the chance to talk back which you can by using the "comments" box on any of the posts.
We have also started to use Facebook as we know that there are some of our visitors who are already into this new way of keeping in touch. To be honest we don't yet fully understand Facebook but if you want to check us out then our page is here.
We are also looking at ways to show videos about Lanercost as well as pictures.
For the videos we have are on You tube here.
For pictures we are collecting them on Flickr
At the end of the day what is important is you, our readers and visitors are the people who help to make Lanercost special and we hope that these small changes will help us to talk and stay in touch.

Tango at the Tearoom
We are delighted to introduce Tango Primero. You can see their website here , read a little about the Argentine Tango here and watch the you tube video at the bottom of this blog.
But for now let's see what Tanya and Howard have to say about this popular form of dance.
Argentine Tango – What exactly is it?
Tango is an elegant social dance that started on the streets of Buenos Aires. It involves moving in circles around your partner in different ways to suit your mood and the music. The music can be slow and sensuous hence tango’s reputation for passion. Or the beat can be more up-tempo expressing joy and frivolity.
Tanya Marsden and Howard Laing have danced and taught the tango together for over eight years. They focus specifically on technique during their classes so that students can learn at their own pace. They are committed to their method of tuition which they firmly believe gives dancers the skills to enjoy the music and the freedom to improvise. Tanya and Howard have trained in Edinburgh and Buenos Aires and studied under the tango masters Gloria and Rodolfo Dinzel.
Why not give it a try in our lovely location at Lanercost? What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than having a delicious lunch in our café before gliding round the floor to the romantic sound of tango. Or treat yourself to some tango, followed by afternoon tea.
Tango 2.00pm-3.30pm £8 per person or £15 per couple

Christian Dymond at Lanercost
When Annette Gibbons came to Lanercost to talk about local produced spring food we were lucky enough to have Christian Dymond in the audience.
This is what he said about the presentation:
It was perfect timing. A few days after traditional Cumberland sausage received its coveted PGI status in March, Cumbria’s champion of local food, Annette Gibbons, was at Lanercost to talk about the riches residing in this beautiful county.
‘We’ve got so much great food here,’ she told her guests at Lanercost where Victoria and Mike Farley’s delightful farm shop stocks meat, jams, chutneys, chocolates and beers from numerous local producers.
Much of this produce was used by Annette as she showcased several dishes in Cumbria on a Plate - Taste of Spring, one of a number of lunchtime events that Lanercost is promoting through spring and summer.
Annette, herself, is well known for her Cumbria on a Plate food safaris where people can see food and drink producers at work. She also runs a dining club, taking members to hotels and restaurants north and south of the border.
Naturally, traditional Cumberland sausage was one of the foods that she talked about. The granting of Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status by the European Union means that from now on anything calling itself a traditional Cumberland sausage must be produced in Cumbria, must be in one continuous coil and contain at least 80%, coarsely chopped meat.
The sausage that Annette served for her lunchtime guests, along with fiery orange chutney, is made especially for Lanercost by nearby Hallsford Farm. The chutney was produced by Wild and Fruitful whose Jane Maggs was described by Annette as the ‘queen of preserves’. Jane’s award-winning hedgerow chilli jelly was also an accompaniment to savoury herb scones, the first dish on the menu.
Jane’s passion for making jams, jellies and chutneys is quite evidently shared by all the producers whose food Annette made use of at the talk and tasting: The Watermill at Little Salkeld which provided its 85% flour (organic) for the scones, for instance, Eva’s Organics whose salad leaves were the basis for the scrumptious Birdoswald salad that Annette prepared.
The salad came with chopped walnuts and small pieces of Birdoswald cheese, the cheese produced with milk from a herd of Ayrshire cows at Slack House Farm near Hadrian’s Wall. The salad dressing was made with vinegar, oil and Cumberland honey mustard and the latter also put in an appearance in the Cumberland mustard mash which followed the salad.
Two more producers that Lanercost stocks are Askerton Castle and Geltsdale Brewery and it was their beef and their beer respectively which were used in the appropriately named ‘Askerton Castle casseroled shin beef in Brampton Bitter’. Stir fried spring kale (Eva’s Organics) and leeks came next and the event was rounded off with a compote of spring rhubarb, served with Lanercost shortbread and Eden ice-cream.
What made this event so engaging was Annette’s enormous enthusiasm for the subject, the wonderful tastes that people experienced and the knowledge that here in Cumbria are food and drink producers whose passion and expertise is second to none. The best way to support them is to buy their produce at food and farm shops all over Cumbria. And that, of course, includes Lanercost.
You can read a little more about Christian's work here and see his guide to food and drink here.

Cumberland sausage from Hallsford farm
Annette Gibbons spoke about Cumberland sausage during her recent talk at Lanercost tea room. She believed that the defining elements were
1. Contents from local produce and the sausage should be made in Cumbria.
2. Pin wheel shape.
3. The sausage should have lumps of real meat in it and not just processed meat.
This picture shows Jean Taylor, who at nearly 87 years of age, was the oldest person at the talk.
Jean was wondering how she would manage to eat anything more!

For our meal Annette used Welsh onions or perpetual spring onions from her garden.
Our opinion: delicious and quite peppery.

Cumberland News - March 2011 and Carlisle's marketing
Cumberland news article on the development of Carlisle.
The Cumberland news recently ran an article on the success of Carlisle as a shopping centre. Victoria was asked to add her comments and this is what they published:
The Cumberland news recently ran an article on the success of Carlisle as a shopping centre. Victoria was asked to add her comments and this is what they published:
Victoria Farley agrees passionately with that sentiment. Victoria moved to Cumbria from Harrogate five years ago as the namager of new department store Hoopers which opened where Bullough’s had served generations of Cumbrians for years. She now runs Lanercost Tea Room with her husband Michael.
“I liked Carlisle straight away. It was the ambience of the place and the way that people treated you.
“When I go shopping at Marks and Spencer, everybody speaks to me as if they know me. It’s a natural Cumbrian thing. They can’t do anything other than that.
“It means so much to be greeted and welcomed. Cumbrians don’t realise that other people just don’t do it.
“For me, Carlisle has always been a really good compact city centre for shopping. It’s that fabulous square in the centre – a lot of places would bite your hand off for that space and the architecture that surrounds it.
“The only thing we’re a bit short of is independent, niche retailers, selling nicknacks or objets d’art. It would be nice to see places like Carlyle’s Court or the Market Hall used more.
“How many places now have an indoor market? People who live here are used to it and don’t necessarily appreciate it.”
This principle applies to much of the city, thinks Victoria. How many locals have become numb to the jewels which dazzle outsiders?
“There are lots of places with history, but few which have the cross-section that Carlisle has. That mixture gives the city centre a really nice character.
“I just wish more people were aware of it. It’s a hidden gem because I think people in Cumbria are quite modest and unassuming. They won’t beat the drum. It’s not their way. We rely on people finding it, and being pleasantly surprised.”

Lanercost Walks
A number of regular customers have their own favourite walk around Lanercost and we're asking for your feedback on which one you enjoy the most. It would be really good to be able to share this with others and for the Summer we're hoping to actually have our own leaflets printed. With this in mind it would be very useful to have some personal reviews of any walks you do so please feel free to write and let me know and perhaps send me some photos too?
Don't forget......
The Lanercost Weekend Brunch
This is proving to be very popular, served every Saturday & Sunday 10.00-1.00, and a great way to start the day!
New season collections and the Made in Cumbria Gallery
New ranges are arriving in the gift shop including a lovely new collection of greetings cards. The Made in Cumbria Gallery and crafts which arrived mid December has been a real success and we hope to expand on this when we can.
The Marmalade Festival 12th & 13th February
at Dalemain, Penrith.
Following on from our successful 'award winning' stall at the Cumbrian Christmas Market we're now going to be at the Marmalade Festival next weekend (see www.marmaladeawards.com ). The event is in aid of Hospice at Home (Carlisle and North Lakeland). We're very pleased to say that one of our regular conference customers, Craig McCullough (Operations Manager for the Co-op) has helped the festival create a pyramid of oranges for the first time. He has donated 210KG of Seville oranges on behalf of his local Co-op store at Brampton which will also help the Girl Guides attempt at making a record breaking jar of marmalade next weekend! Thank you to Craig and all at the Co-op for rising to the challenge on our behalf!

Christmas market - 2010
Dear all
We realise that many of our regular customers may have found it difficult to travel to us last weekend to enjoy our Christmas Market and may have been disappointed. With that in mind we've decided to keep the festive offers and atmosphere on for the coming week.
There's lots of Cumbrian foodie mini hampers and gift ideas and a fabulous '3 for 2' offer on Christmas decorations (lowest priced item free). There's also an extension to our 20% discount offer on gifts which is not to be missed and the exciting launch of our Made in Cumbria art and crafts section.
New on the menu is our Lanercost Latte, our name for a Latte with Baileys, a perfect combination! And, of course, don't forget our Lanercost Weekend Brunch available every Saturday and Sunday 10.00-1.00.
We're looking forward to better temperatures tomorrow and our road has been gritted already today so it would be lovely to see you. Please feel free to pass this offer on to family and friends by forwarding this email to them.
Kind regards

We've gift sets and hampers galore, all packed full of local Cumbrian produce and have all the Christmas preserves from our favourites, Wild & Fruitful and Hawkshead Relish.
