Newsletter
Winter 2009
Hello everyone and welcome to the long awaited Zest Fine Food Newsletter!
Thank you so much for expressing an interest in Zest and all that it stands
for - providing the finest food and ingredients from locally sourced producers.
Our aim is to issue a Newsletter at least every quarter, bringing you up to
date with what’s been going on here at Zest and also what we’re planning
for the future months.
We hope, by now, you have had chance to visit us and enjoy the delicious
food, drink and ambiance we have to offer. If not, this is a great time to
come and see us and have a look for yourselves!! Remember we also
provide conference room facilities; catering for business lunches; parties etc.
We are now fully licensed and have a wide range of wines and beers available
to buy in the shop or to enjoy with your lunch!!
We have now been open for almost a year and to celebrate we are opening
our doors on Saturday 28th November to welcome new & old customers so
that you can see just how far we’ve come in such a short time. There
will be cookery demonstrations; tasting sessions from suppliers as well as
our Christmas range of gifts and the scrumptious food on offer in the deli &
coffee shop.
During December, each week-end will be focusing on the run up to
Christmas. There will be a special Christmas menu; carol singers from our
local schools; ideas for gifts including hampers and vouchers which are
always popular for family, friends and corporate clients. We will also be
taking orders for turkeys and in fact all your festive food needs. Don’t forget all
the unusual delicious vegetable dishes and sides all made here at Zest and
anything else you can think of!! Last day for orders is Sunday 20th December.
In January we are launching our loyalty card as a way of thanking our
regular customers and encouraging them to come more often to try the
seasonal specials we have to offer.
We will also be publishing our cookery school calendar which will include
sessions for Valentines Day, Mothers Day and Easter as well as the
usual classes, so you’ll have more dates for your diary!!
Our first confirmed date is Saturday January 30th where you be given the
opportunity to learn Asian cookery “hands on” style!!
Many companies are still celebrating Christmas and the New Year right
through until March others are looking to launch the New Year with a team
building event or staff meeting. Remember, we offer full conference and
meeting facilities for up to 32 people.
If you would like to discuss what we have to offer in more detail we’d love
to hear from you.
Keep your eye on the website…………
……… but for now, we all wish you a very Merry Christmas and a healthy New Year
.....................................................................................filled with lots of goodies from Zest!
