In the Spring, the Sussex countryside starts to burst into life. The days become longer and warmer, the bees are out and with it come the daffodils and the bluebell. All our trees and plants start to bud, grow and bloom.
Possibly one of favourite vegetables that Spring brings to Sussex is Asparagus, so expect to see that on one of our menus this season!
