Fairboroughs Farm


Happy Birthday Alex!

Here's a top tip if you're looking for a venue to hold your birthday party – find a local festival, such as Welly Fest 2013, and sneak into the marquee the night before and have a ceilidh with The Moody Food Ceili Band. Everyone's a winner.

The Madeley Centre


Happy Birthday Tony!

We borrowed Jason and his very snazzy waistcoat from Alf Alfa and the Wild Oats to do a spot of calling as Sylvia was off celebrating her birthday (Happy Birthday Sylvia!). Jason demonstrated his scatological side in his choice of dances but at least I finally learnt what a quadrille is – it's a posh name for a square set. Nice to see some proper waltzing during Shebag an Shemor.

Jason's dances for your Moody Food Dance Card:

Cock o' the North / 100 Pipers
Jason's Big Set
Flying Scot
Discouraging Waltz / Ragtime Annie
Salutation Square Dance
Blaydon Races
The Siege of Delhi / The Earl's Chair
Caerphilly March
Cumberland Square Eight
Shebag and Shemor / Give me your Hand
Bottoms Up
Spanish Waltz Quadrille
Stoke Golding

A cake for a rambler.

Jason surrenders.

Newcastle School, Hannah and Ed



Congratulations Hannah and Edward.

It was back to school for the Moody Food crew. Hannah and Ed first met at Newcastle-under-Lyme School and made some life-long friends there, so where better to get married?

These wedding cakes made of cheese are becoming very popular – this is the second one I've seen this year.

Sylvia's dances for your Moody Food Dance Card:

Cock o' the North / 100 Pipers
Midnight on the Water
Goatham Square Eight
A Simple Longways Set
Circle Waltz
Orcadian Strip the Willow
Polka Off

Now that's what I call a cheese cake.

Hannah and Ed.
