Our chocolate making classes are becoming very popular. February is now fully booked, we have some availability left in March (21st & 28th), and on April 25th.

You’ll spend the 4 to 5 hour class learning the basics of chocolate with chef Lubo Rotak, from the history of chocolate through to decorating, creating your own filling, and making chocolates to take home.

Producing filled chocolate takes time due to it being a multi stepped process, so while chocolate shells are setting between stages, we run a few extra activities. One of the favourites is Lubo’s “smell and tell” challenge. After 20 years working in baking, designing cakes for some of the biggest names in the UK, he’s handled thousands of ingredients, from the everyday to the frankly bizarre. You’ll be given 20 different aromas to identify, and so far nobody has managed more than 16, which is the current record to beat!

28 Day Dry Aged Steaks Now Available!

At Ruxstons, we work with an independent butcher, Sam Blunt. He’s an excellent butcher and has helped take our meat offering to the next level. Sam has recently invested in a dry-ageing cabinet, and we’re pleased to say that a small quantity of 100% grass-fed, Ruby Red Devon beef, dry-aged for 28 days, is now available to buy in store.

Dry ageing produces darker meat with a deeper, more concentrated flavour, with more external fat trimmed away than usual. Our recommended offering is the dry-aged sirloin, cooked rare.

Take a look at the freezer in store and you will see the steaks (labelled “dry aged”) available to purchase.
