My husband Pete & I were very lucky to be invited to lunch with Hector and the Fox. Run by Ian and Paulo, Hector and the Fox create lovely events in Sussex, from secret sales to gorgeous lunches.

The setting was Burton Mill, near Petworth, which in itself is a treat - a lovely historic water mill with just the right amount of rustic shabbiness, set in a nature reserve,

We had wonderful company from Alys of Olive Living & Clare of Maybush Studio and before we knew it lunch had turned into most of the afternoon. Pudding was particularly delicious (we are still talking about THAT custard) and we went home with full tummies & warm hearts.

Hector and the Fox have lots on their calendar in the run up to Christmas, including seasonal walks with lunch afterwards (one mentions treacle tart which is a very tempting proposition). We had such a lovely time as the whole event was very relaxed, with simple tasty food, a gorgeous setting and wonderful hosts....all in all a winning combination!

Thank you Ian & Paulo!
