Overview

Did you know Chillies have been in Great Britain for over 400 years, contain more Vitamin C than Oranges and have been cultivated for over 10,000 years? Chillies are very complicated and intriguing ingredients which are not just used in your local curry house. Here is a perfect opportunity to discover things you may never have known about chillies. You'll learn about the different varieties and how they're used, get to taste some fresh chillies and gourmet sauces, take some freshly picked chillies home and a three jar gift bag. This experience is definitely chillies, chillies and more chillies!

Your experience will begin with your host taking you on a tour of the nursery where they will talk about the chilli varieties and the different uses. After the tour, if you're feeling brave enough you will be invited to sample some of the freshly picked chillies and a range of tongue tingling, gourmet sauces including the famous Inferno chilli sauce made with habaneros. Next you will have the opportunity to pick some of your own chillies to take home from England's first pick your own chilli farm and you'll be given a three jar gift bag. This experience runs during the English chilli picking season which is from June to October.

What did you get up to?
This experience involved a tour of the chilli farm as well as a delicious chili based meal. The main course – chilli of course – was both a large portion and contained good quality ingredients. The tour guide was one of the owners, so he knew lots about chillies and growing them, and was able to answer everyone’s questions. The restaurant was a pleasant environment, and larger than I expected. The shop also had free samples out to taste which were delicious!

What did you enjoy the most?
Tasting the free samples!

We had a fab time at our chilli experience. The team were very knowledgeable and it was good to learn about the different chillis and how they are grown. The tasting experience was fab and we then bought some goodies to take hoem- some chilli plants and chilli jams. A fantastic experience.

I didnt get a 3 jar gift bag as detailed in the experience. It would have been nice to have gluten free crackers for the tasting session.

We a looked round , got to try some different types of chillies , taste the different things that had been made using chilli ,peanut butter, chilli sauce etc . The amazing bit about the experience was the lemon drop chilli. . Three yrs ago I had a tumour removed from my brain ,I have no sense of smell & my taste buds are not what they were . I was able remember what lemon’s tasted like again just for a few seconds before the chilli taste kicked in & burnt my mouth but those few secs were priceless. . They also took us on a tour of the place , let us ask questions which was great & choose some chilli stuff to try . The only down side to the tour was that I would of loved to of tried some dishes made with the sauces B4 choosing which 1’s to buy & maybe given the recipes that were used afterwards. I also don’t remember them using chocolate in any of the recipes which is a good combo .
