A Brief Interlude!

I'm interrupting the flow of sharing salad plates with information that may come in handy over the coming Spring and Summer months.

Are you off on your travels for a long weekend – is there a chance that those travels may take you to the Peak District – if so then I'd like to let you in on a little secret.

Hollingworth is a small village which actually has a postal address “Hyde, Cheshire”. In reality Hollingworth is closer to Woodhead pass on the A628 in one direction and the A57 to Glossop and then on to the Snake Pass, in the other.

If you take a look at a map you'll see that both Hollingworth and Glossop are situated on the western side of the Peak District.

Whilst I appreciate I'm not writing a travel blog I consider that this qualifies since it's food related – you've got to eat and if you're looking forward to a picnic then here's the place to stock up on supplies and fill your picnic basket!

Hollingworth Bakery is probably the tiniest bakery I've ever been in – you know what they say “small is beautiful”. Damian Weatherhead is the Baker and has a Facebook Page “Hollingworth Bakery”.

What is special about this place is that you'll find all the favourites that everyone loves and expects - from great pies, to moreish jam tarts - then there's the “out of the ordinary” stuff.

The staff are just lovely and ready, willing and more than able to make up your personal butty on bread of your choice.

Check it out.
