Dear Local Food Supporter,

It's been a busy month for local food: as well as Real Bread Week earlier in May, we've had English Wine Week and the start of the British watercress and asparagus seasons. If you want to keep up with the latest news and events, make sure you're following us on Twitter and Facebook. In the meantime, discover what's new on Local Food Britain, including a delicious seafood recipe, the UK's first natural sparkling wine and a special offer from The Jolly Farmers.

Exclusively for Local Food Britain subscribers, The Jolly Farmers near Reigate is giving you 50% off your total food bill until Friday 19th June.

A long time supporter of local food, The Jolly Farmers boasts a menu packed with produce from the likes of Robert and Edwards butchers, Chalk Hills Bakery and Secretts Farm.

Click here to get this special offer and for terms and conditions. And if you have a friend who might like a half-price lunch or dinner (and let's face it, who wouldn't?) don't forget to forward them this email so they can claim the offer too.

From a wonderful Surrey pub to a delighful Sussex inn: here's a mouthwatering new recipe from our friends at The Elsted Inn near Midhurst. Chef Lisa King uses the best seasonal and local ingredients in her kitchen to create simple but stunning dishes like this sautéed squid salad - a perfect light lunch or starter.

Find the recipe here.

On the slopes of the North Downs, Nick Wenman is causing a stir in the world of English wine. Working with biodynamic wine expert Monty Waldin, star of Channel 4 documentary Chateau Monty, Albury Organic Vineyard has produced the UK's first pétillant naturel.

Housed in a restored Grade II listed barn, Amberley Village Tea Room is a hidden gem just waiting to be discovered. As well as cakes, scones and biscuits hand made by the owner, Sue, you'll find locally-roasted coffee, Wobblegate apple juice and chocolate from Cocoa Loco.

If you're visiting nearby Arundel Castle or Amberley Museum, this is the place to head for afternoon tea - you'll be glad you did.

The hand-picked selection of British and international foods at The Dorking Deli is mouthwatering - and then there's the wines, spirits and local beers. Cheeses are a specialism for owner Louise, and the range changes each week, so there's always a good reason to drop in and see what's new.

And while you're there, you may as well stop for a cup of locally roasted coffee, and maybe breakfast or lunch - on Fridays you can even stay for dinner.

Summer is upon us at last (even if it doesn't always feel like it) and the Local Food Britain events calendar is full of exciting events. Here's what's coming up in the next few days - make sure you check out our full events listings for more.
