We're delighted to be working with The Pop Up Kitchen, a team of great local chefs who do one-off nights in venues around Brighton offering a two course dinner for an amazing £10. They are committed to sourcing at least 80% of their produce within 15 miles of Brighton and Hove, buying locally, foraging what they can and delivering incredible flavour.

Their next pop up event is at the Farm Tavern, Farm Road, Hove on Thursday 14 June with a menu of delicious North African food using spice blends from Pinch Seasonings. Come to the event to taste flat breads with za'atar, Berbere spiced lentils and a classic Moroccan tagine of chicken with olives and preserved lemons with ras el hanout - the lemons were preserved using our gros sel gris de Guérande and were featured in our May newsletter.

To book a table phone the Farm Tavern on 01273 779886. Dinner served from 6pm. Click here for the menu and more details of other Pop Up Kitchen events.

Shoreham Farmers' Market this month coincides with the Shoreham Food and Drink Festival so the market on Saturday 9 June is open for an extended period, until 4pm. We will also have a stall in the marquee on Coronation Green on Sunday 10 June as part of the festivities. The Festival is a great opportunity to shop for produce from local suppliers, eat great food and savour local wine, beer and cider.

If you take one Pinch barbecue rub to the beach, make it this one! Whatever you are cooking our beach BBQ rub is a great all-rounder with brown sugar for sticky sweetness, tangy sweet paprika, and a hint of cayenne to give a mild chilli buzz. Use this to liven up any meat, fish or vegetables.

Our smokey BBQ rub is a heady mix of smokey, herby flavours. Chipotle chillies and black pepper provide the heat to which we have added tangy orange peel and a pinch of pungent thyme resulting in a full flavoured barbecue blend that is great with beef, lamb or even mushrooms. Rub liberally over food before cooking.
