Super-tasty but somehow intimidating, soufflés are actually easy to make once you get the hang of them. We’ve used a delicious smoked cheddar from Devon’s own Quicke’s, for really rich flavour – serve with salad or steamed veg of your choice. Serves 2.

Ale partners beautifully with the artisanal cheeses in our Deli. Here are some suggestions from our Deli manager, Matt:

Match your favourite cheeses perfectly to lovely local chutneys and these finely flavoured crackers with these suggestions from our Deli team!

This easy recipe is vegetarian-friendly, no-cook and fuss-free –and did we mention that it also tastes delicious, too? You can vary the nuts and cheese if you like (blue cheese is a delightful option), but do check that the cheese is not made with animal rennet if you need to keep the recipe vegetarian. Makes 16.

This summery vegetarian recipe is a great way to try something a little different with halloumi – there’s a little bit of work involved, but it’s fairly easy to put together (and also handy to have up your sleeve for impressing veggie guests!). Can be cooked on the hob or over a BBQ. Serves 4.
