Taking Last Summer Orders
The weather is looking fantastic this weekend. Max will again be serving his small batch craft beers at Chilcotts Brewhouse! Why not pop down and enjoy a craft beer, Max’s Limoncello, G&T or a glass of wine.
The pop up tap room and brewery will temporarily close its doors on Sunday 5th September at 3:30pm to allow Max to return to university. Any remaining stock will be available from https://Unplugged.Beer for local collection, local delivery or shipping.
Currently planning to open again at Christmas with some seasonal beers. Sign-up to his email newsletter and follow on social media.

First North Devon Grapes of the 2021
Seems early for grapes. But these seedless eaters are really sweet and juicy. Admittedly, they were grown in the greenhouse, but the first bunch of many to come. Delicious!
A Craft Beer At Chilcotts Farm?
We are in the process of applying for a premises licence for a pop-up tap room in our former shippen (cow shed). Drink in, out, buy direct to take away or buy online.
Premises licence pending (and progressing), we are aiming to open our doors in July 2021!
A crafted selection of beers brewed on premises by Brewing Unplugged. Available for sale online at https://Unplugged.beer or direct from our tap room.
Bottle or draft, the beers are unique – visit – drink – appreciate! After all, life’s too short to drink bad beer! Can’t visit, buy online.
All beers are brewed on premises by our Master Brewer.
We recognise not everyone is into beer, so we will be offering other drinks & snacks too!
Follow US to find out the latest!
Hopefully we will be open from July to September 2021 only …. so a limited time this year. If you turn-up and like us, who knows, we could open again?
Pickled Eggs
With spring well underway, at this time of year the geese, chickens and ducks are in full lay so we have quite a few eggs.
This year we have decided to turn our surplus into pickled eggs. Really easy to make, here is our recipe & method:
- Hard boil a dozen eggs;
- In a pan, add 1 litre of water and 150ml of vinegar (we use spirt vinegar);
- Add 80 grams of sugar, 50 grams of salt, two bay leaves, a tablespoon of mustard seeds and 1 teaspoon of caraway seeds;
- Bring to the boil and add two sliced onions and allow to return to the boil;
- Layer the eggs in a sterilised screw top/ Kilner jar (fill the jar with boiling water to sterilise), covering each layer with the boiling liquor;
- Seal the jar and allow to cool.
Goose Egg Salad Niçoise
As the geese come to the end of their laying season, we still have goose eggs for sale. About 3 times the size of chickens eggs, they are a meal in themselves.
Last night we had salad niçoise for tea. One goose egg per adult, soft boiled (boil the eggs for about 15 minutes to get a lovely soft boiled egg with a creamy yolk)
You can buy online or from the door. We take contactless payments.
Local collection only.
Goose eggs are truly distinctive being almost three times the size of a hen’s egg! We have three girls that typically lay from the beginning April through to the end of May.
Price is per egg, minimum order of 2 eggs.
CLICK & COLLECT only. Buy online and schedule a time to pick-up.
Card payments only online.

Description
Having a more pronounced flavour than a hens egg, but slightly milder than a duck egg. A Goose egg is simply a meal in itself eaten boiled, scrambled, or fried and shared. As with all eggs they can be used as an ingredient in baked dishes such as gratins and quiches or as the base for the finest Yorkshire pudding. Our Geese lay their eggs between Spring and early Summer by free roaming in our fields. With access to grass all year round and free to roam, they produce the most delightful eggs with deep orange yolks!Uses for Goose Eggs
Goose eggs can be used in exactly the same way as chicken eggs. The only difference is their size. About 3 to 4 times the weight of a chicken egg, they can be used in cooking in the same way. If a recipe is asking for 3 eggs, one goose egg may do. Examples of use for goose eggs:- Soft boiled: To get a nice runny soft boiled goose egg, boil for 6 minutes. Read more here ….
- Hard boiled: Boil for about 8 to 10 minutes to get a hard boiled egg, and use in the normal way.
- Blowing: Its great fun for kids to blow goose eggs and then paint and decorate them, especially around easter time. Use the egg blown out of the shell to make scrambled egg or omelette.
About Our Geese
Our Geese are kept naturally, predominantly eating fresh grass. In February, in preparation for egg laying, we may supplement their feed with a premium quality specialist goose breeders feed. At this time of year, the grass can be low in nutrition, and supplementing their feed provides necessary minerals and vitamins in preparation for the laying season and the number of goose eggs they can produce. Unlike many keepers of geese, we feed all of our birds on quality premium food, containing natural ingredients that contain no Genetically Modified crops or chemical additives.
