MILK FEST 2015

F U L L F AT F E S T I VA L

In celebration of all the good things in life, we hope you’ll enjoy our four-day festival over the August bank holiday weekend. Launching on Friday 28 August and carrying on all the way through to Monday 31 August, we

can promise a feast of fun for the whole family.

We’ve put together a programme that showcases the cream of Kent, with music from the best local bands and fabulous food and drink from

our favourite suppliers.

We’ve even crafted a brand new cask-conditioned bitter to mark the occasion, with some help from our friends at the Old Dairy Brewery. This ‘Full Fat Festival Top’ will be on draught all weekend at just a wee £3 a pint, so make sure you sample a glass… and then maybe another!

We can’t wait to welcome friends old and new to the pub for a party in true Sissinghurst style!

Milk Fest kicks off at 6pm on FRIDAY night with some very special ‘piccolo’ pizza portions – bite-sized samples from our classic selection, from the Plucky Hen to the Happy Piggy. You can then choose an Italian drink to pair with your choices – Peroni, Prosecco, Pinot Grigio or Pelligrino…. As the sun sets over the Terrace, there’ll be music from singer/songwriter Tom Harvey, followed by some rollicking blues from

The Black Sheep trio. A perfect start to your long weekend!

SATURDAY 29 AUGUST

F A M I LY B B Q & B I G TO P

Roll up, roll up on SATURDAY with the whole family – because the big top’s coming to Sissinghurst! The circus swings into town at 1pm, with acrobatics, stilt walking, juggling and more. Not your thing? Well don’t worry – we’ve got plenty of alternative entertainment lined up, including a bouncy castle, face painting and DIY sundaes before settling the kids

down for a movie and popcorn on comfy cushions in the bar.

If that all leaves you feeling peckish, tuck into chargrilled treats from the full-fat festival BBQ, which will take centre stage on the Terrace from midday to 9pm. There’ll be a feast for the ears, too, with the mellow acoustics of Sam Easton, Jemima & Will and Freddy Green, before The

Hotelles rock us into the evening!

It’s not over yet! On Monday, you can’t miss the Sissinghurst Village Fete, one of Kent’s most glorious summer events, combined with the hotly-anticipated dog show (go Polly!) We’ll be there, pulling pints from the ‘pop-up’ Hopper Hut bar. And at the end of the fete… we’ll be keeping the party spirit alive back at the pub, with Happy Hour from 5–7pm where you will hear a soulful set by Nick John Wilson, followed by the Devil’s Cut Combo who’ll be performing their rockin’ combinations of

early 50s, R&B, Blues and Boogie Woogie.

Join us for the bank holiday’s last hurrah – and dance your socks off because summer comes but once a year!

An alternative indie band you’ll want to dance to

The Hotelles are an alternative three piece from South East London, formed of brothers Tom (23), Ben (21) and Sam (16). Their self-deprecating, closely harmonized and hook-laden tracks recall The Strokes, The Libertines and The Everly Brothers. Lyricist Tom draws upon both suburban characters and personal experiences in the vain of Ray Davies and Jarvis Cocker. This sound is offset by Tom’s gritty guitar, Sam’s

intricate drum riffs and Ben’s soul ridden bass lines.

The band are well known around London for their vibrant, dynamic and slick live shows displaying a heart-on-sleeve ethos and electric aura. Last year the band produced their own vinyl and they’ve recently performed at Unsigned London. They are currently

creating a brand new catalogue of tunes to be released later this summer.

Turners Cider is a family business based in Marden. The artisan producers make a range of craft ciders that are available for wholesale to pubs, shops, festivals and events across Kent, London and the South East. They also sell cider nationally, and have even been

known to ship it as far afield as Russia.

All Turner Cider apples are grown in and around the village, in the orchards on the south-facing ridge below the Greensand Way and in the flood basin of the River Beult. The area is at the centre of the UK apple industry and so they are able to source high quality fruit that often travels no more than a few hundred yards from tree to

fermenting vat.

www.gibbetoak.co.ukwww.facebook.com/gibbetoakwww.twitter.com/Gibbetoak

GIBBET OAKGibbet Oak Cider was born out of a love of quality Kentish produce, grown on the Nightingale family fruit farm just outside Tenterden in the picturesque High Weald. A 3rd generation farming family, the Nightingales have been growing fruit for over 60 years. Inspired by the tales of his father’s experiments with cider, Sam wanted to create the genuine article:

a crisp, authentic and, most importantly, tasty cider made from home grown fruit.

All Gibbet Oak’s ciders and perry are made from 100% fruit juice, carefully hand picked from apples and pears on the farm, each variety chosen for it’s unique flavour and quality. These ciders are then fermented, matured, and lovingly blended, before being bottled on the farm. Gibbet Oak pride themselves on being part of the growing Kentish cider community,

they aim to be true to their roots, but with a unique stamp and style.

OLD DAIRY BREWERYThe Old Dairy Brewery is nestled deep in the heart of the ‘Garden of England’ just moments from the High Street in the picturesque market town of Tenterden in Kent. With glorious views over rolling countryside, the brewery is housed in two old World War II Nissen buildings next to the Kent & East Sussex Steam Railway. One has been converted into a new 30 barrel brewery, complete with shop, bar and meeting room

while the second plays host to the brewery’s offices and warehouse.

Only the finest malts and hops are used to brew Old Dairy Brewery beers, and most of these are grown in the Garden of England. The brewery’s carefully crafted recipes are designed to create perfectly balanced, very drinkable ales across a range of different styles.

KENTISH PIPKentish Pip are passionate about flavour and quality. They plant and grow their own special selection of dessert and cider apples and carry out all of the fermentation and blending themselves at Woolton Farm in Bekesbourne. What started out as a hobby in the farmhouse kitchen, has grown into an exciting cider range across the UK. But the

time, love and enthusiasm they pour into every batch has stayed the same.

Kentish Pip take great care and pride in their cidermaking and are discerning when it comes to taste. Kentish Pip cider is full of fresh flavour, as each small batch is blended by hand, then tasted and tweaked for a light, fruity finish. The unique Kentish character

comes from using a mixture of farm-grown, freshly picked dessert and cider apples.

CHEGWORTH VALLEYChegworth Valley is a family owned and run fruit farm situated in the heart of the Kent countryside, not far from the village of Harrietsham.

Today it covers nearly 100 acres consisting of apples, pears and soft fruit along with a wide

selection of seasonally available vegetables and salads.

Chegworth Valley supplies juice and fresh produce to independent farm shops, delis, restaurants, cafes and hotels as well as supplying direct to customers at farmers’ markets throughout London. The farm has shops at Borough Market and 221 Kensington Church

ANNO DISTILLERSMarden-based Anno Distillers was co-founded by PhD research and development chemists Andy and Norman in 2011. Unlike many distillers, their life-long science background in the highly technical pharmaceutical industry gives a practical understanding of equipment

capabilities, allowing them to make the highest quality products.

Anno Distillers source a secret blend of local hops, lavender from the award-winning national lavender collection at the Downderry Nursery, and flowers including elderflower and rose hips, together with a very unique ingredient – Samphire from the historic Romney Marsh. They carefully marry these Kentish flavours with citrus elements along with some traditional botanicals such as juniper, coriander, cassia, angelica and liquorice.

The pair are like-minded ladies, with busy lives and children and animals… but their passion is mixing flavours up, finding interesting combinations and making the most of the ingredients to hand. Throughout the year the

range changes, using the seasonal produce available.

Berry & Shrub are committed to making their range of special preserves affordable. They believe that a lively chutney can enliven anyone’s cheese, a lovely jam can spread love on scones and a majestic marmalade can make toast into the breakfast of kings. Their

preserves are available at Farmers’ Markets and outlets throughout Kent.
