River Cottage Autumn

On the menu at River Cottage is beetroot and duck, courtesy of Hugh himself. We return to Bramble Farm, to see how Hugh's Bristol smallholders are handling their harvest and Hugh travels up North to meet some green-fingered guerrillas.

The autumn abundance this year is enough to tempt even the most committed of carnivores, Hugh, to lay on a slap-up vegetarian feast at the River Cottage Canteen. However, there's one vegetable that's not invited. Cauliflower.

We are deep into autumn, and the harvest has been hearty for Hugh and his faithful crew. As a reward for their hard work, Hugh is planning a slap-up meal and, to show that you don't need piles of cash to dine like a king.

It's firework time at River Cottage and Hugh's preparing for a bonfire shindig. Before any marshmallows can be toasted, there's some hard graft needed, as the team bole down for winter with some pickles, chutneys and preserves.
