RUNNING FOR COELIAC UK...
I am again running the Bristol Half Marathon for the second time and this year raising money for my favourite charity - Coeliac UK. This year I want to raise a cool £1,000. Please show your support - click here to show your support.

Last year I was about three miles into the run and swore I would never do it again, 5miles later, I think I started singing very loudly in my head, 10 miles and I was going loopy but still strong, and by the 12th mile I felt like an Olympian. I crossed the finish after two hours and 12 minutes. Bring it on!

CIDER SUNDAY AT THE ALASIA...
We just love Summer. Visit our web site and down load our gift to you for the month of July. We are giving you a complimentary bottle of Thatcher's Gold Cider when you have Sunday lunch with us.

NEW FRIENDS...
Fussels Rapeseed oil has joined our list of friends at The Alasia. Andy Fussel and his family have been farmers in Somerset for generations.

Rapeseed oil is England's alternative to Virgin Olive Oil, and is very good for you -It has more generous servings of the essential fatty acids Omega 3 and 6, it is lower in bad saturated fats than olive oil and high in the good monounsaturated fats and it is an excellent source of vitamin E.

On your next visit, try our fresh bread & dipping oils.

Did you know that we also marinade our olives using Rapeseed Oil & fresh herbs grown in our garden?

SUMMER FLOWERS...
NEW TEAPIGS TEA
A blend as refreshing and as welcome as a cloudless summer sky over Britain.

To mark the arrival of summer here at The Alasia, we thought we'd add to our ongoing Teapigs collection with their Summer blend. A unique blend of elderflower, ginger, lavender and lemongrass that’s equally refreshing as either a hot or iced drink, under a cloudy or clear sky. Compare the large leaf in Teapigs' tea temples to the dust in your regular tea bag; whole leaf is best.

Let the Summer blend make you feel great, and know that 50p of this purchase goes to Marie Curie Blooming great tea party campaign.
