Hi pizza lovers!
Thought I'd do a quick write up & throw-back of the amazing Pumpkins & Picnics 2023. A multi-date event run by Emma & Peter Turner from their farm in Langho, near Clitheroe. The farm is also home to the beautiful Ribble Valley Glamping Retreat and the backdrop to a fantastic family day out of pumpkin picking in October each year.
Ah, Halloween—a time of magic, mystery, and mouthwatering delights! In the enchanting Ribble Valley, where the rolling hills meet the imposing Pendle Hill, Halloween takes on a whole new level of splendour. Picture-perfect landscapes, crisp autumn air, and the scent of pumpkin spice lingering in the breeze—it's the perfect setting for a bewitching celebration.
At Ribble Valley Glamping Retreat in Langho, Halloween isn't just another holiday; it's an immersive experience that delights guests of all ages. And at the heart of this magical affair is Pendle Pizza, led by yours truly, serving up hot, fresh, and utterly delectable pizzas that elevate the festivities to new heights.
Let's set the scene: families gathering at the retreat for a day of pumpkin picking, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Ribble Valley. Children frolic in the ball pit, explore the play area, and embark on a thrilling treasure trail, while parents soak in the serene ambiance and panoramic views.
But what truly sets this Halloween celebration apart is the culinary experience awaiting guests at the picnic area—a feast fit for ghouls and goblins alike, courtesy of Pendle Pizza. As the aroma of oven-roasted pumpkin fills the air, anticipation builds for the flavourful creations about to emerge from the stone-bottomed oven.
Now, you might be wondering: pumpkin on a pizza? Trust me, it's a game-changer. The natural sweetness and earthy notes of the roasted pumpkin perfectly complement the savoury cheese and rich tomato sauce, creating a symphony of flavours that dance on your taste buds with every bite. It's a revelation—a Halloween treat like no other.
But the magic doesn't stop there. With Pendle Pizza at the helm, customisation is key. From classic margheritas to inventive combinations featuring seasonal ingredients like caramelized onions, sage, and smoked mozzarella, there's a pizza to satisfy every palate and preference.
As guests indulge in slices of piping hot pizza, laughter fills the air, and bonds are forged over shared moments of culinary delight. It's a celebration of community, connection, and the simple joys of good food enjoyed in great company.
