Mixed Bean Taboule, The Countryman, Fine Dining Country Pub, West Sussex

Mixed Bean Tabouleh is a hit with our locals. The recipe originates in the Middle East and is a finely chopped salad flavoured with fragrant spices and mixed with cous-cous. The Countryman version uses home grown spring onion, cucumber and tomato and as well as mixing with a citrus infused cous-cous. We also use a mix of crunchy Thai green beans, soft pinto beans and chick peas to add incredible flavour and texture. Since adding it to the summer menu, it has quickly become one of the top selling lunchtime light bites with many of our regulars who fancy a quick refreshing snack in what is all too often a hectic day.

Farm Shop at The Countryman West Sussex

Due to popular demand, we have started planning to start work on the Countryman Farm Shop. The Countryman Farm Shop will consist of a new area dedicated to showcasing produce from local suppliers. As well as our own homegrown produce there will be fresh vegetables from keen local gardeners, homemade chutneys and preserves, local cheese and cold meat selection, homemade bread and cakes, and fresh milk, cream and eggs from various farms.

Many of the vegetables that you will see are from the same suppliers that we use for our freshly cooked food at The Countryman – the best country pub in West Sussex.

A few interesting facts about Farmers Markets

The first farmers’ market started 13 years ago in 1997 and there are now over 500! This proves the greedy supermarkets haven’t completely won! On the contrary –  these statistics prove that the public want fresh, high quality food and they want to support local farmers and suppliers. Farmers markets are usually held on a weekly or monthly basis – the emphasis being on quality and freshness. When you talk to the stallholder, you will normally find that you are talking to the actual farmer that grew the produce for sale!  Source: Alliance & Leicester Commercial Banking news.

Our Farm Shop will be open every day!

Once our farm shop is open, you will not have to wait a whole month to buy your fresh food, as our shop will be open every day during The Countryman pub opening hours. We will update you on the progress of the our new farm shop regularly.
