We are often asked what mole is, pronounced molay.

Mole is a traditional Mexican sauce most often served with chicken, the recipe varies regionally. Usually it is bought as a paste then cooked off with chicken stock and chicken.

When our supply from Mexico dried up about 6 years ago, we thought we would have a go at making our own. It has varied over the years but currently has sesame seeds, almonds, peanuts, 3 different mild chillis (mulato, ancho and pasilla), broken tortilla chips and dark chocolate.

Mole sauce and Salsa Verde are a match made in heaven (in my opinion).

Chicken Mole is a firm favourite with the staff, and last year we introduced Courgette & Mushroom Mole too. (The dark chocolate used says it may contain milk, so mole is usually suitable for a vegan diet, but not for someone with a lactose allergy).

Any questions? Please ask!

Introducing our new beef filling: pulled beef brisket with green peppers & onion with Hendersons's relish.

We slow cook a 5kg brisket until its tender and easy to pull. Soften onion and green pepper and stir in the pulled beef and Hendo's. Don't forget to check for seasoning!
