The votes are in, the butchers have delivered, and your custom sausage creation is officially hitting the menu.
We’ve been working with @thurstonbutchers to bring this taste sensation to life, and starting today, the Brie & Chipotle Jam Sausage is ready for you. 🙌
Here is exactly what’s on the board this week:
The Signature Ciabatta…
Our bespoke sausages served in a crusty ciabatta, loaded with fresh rocket, sweet onion jam and a drizzle of chipotle mayo for that extra kick.
The Benedict Swap…
For those who can’t start the day without a Benedict, you can upgrade your Pork Belly Benny to the new Brie and chipotle jam sausages.
Our new sausage flavour profile was chosen by our followers, so pop down and get a taste of what we’ve created especially for you. We’ll be serving these until the batch runs out.
Available at Roots Cafe all week. Open daily from 9am-4pm!

So that’s it…
After weeks of hard graft, the final touches on the new thatch have been completed on our much loved Blackthorpe Barn.
As @dodsonbrosthatchers packed up their tools and the scaffolding came down, the rethatch is finally finished and the car park is now back to normal and life here is returning to its gentle rhythm of normality.
We hope everyone who visited to see the rethatch found it as enlightening as we did. Watching traditional craft brought to life reminded us why moments like these, which only come around every 35 years for the Estate, make the history of the estate so precious to preserve.
Here’s a small recap of the final works on the beautiful Blackthorpe Barn.

Our baristas Charlie and Katie are staying one step ahead of the grind with some hands-on training from @butterworths coffee.
From dialling in the perfect shot to steaming milk just right, they’ve been fine-tuning their skills with a local supplier that really knows its beans!
It’s all about raising the bar(ista) and making sure every cup we serve is brewed to perfection.
Come and put them to the test…☕️

The weather’s looking a little more inviting… which can only mean one thing – it’s time to get out and explore.
There is no better place to do that than in the Suffolk countryside amongst the daffies and other spring flowers.
Our walks around Rougham Estate are the perfect excuse to enjoy a breath of fresh air, stretch your legs, and take in the beauty of the estate as the seasons begin to shift.
Whether it’s a gentle wander or something a little more purposeful, there’s a range of different walks to suit most abilities and all listed on our website.
Then, perhaps a well-earned stop at Roots Café afterwards - and a detour to the Rougham Estate Shop?
What a perfect day out!

We realise we are a little late to the party with this post, but we could not let the week pass without celebrating Suzy - our brilliant visual merchandiser and who is also a qualified florist. She was back on our screens last Sunday for series three of the Jimmy and Shivvy farmhouse show.
Suzy was invited back to share more of her crafting expertise after her previous appearance on the series.
We are very proud to see a member of our team showcasing her skills to the rest of the country because she is really that good. So good that you will see her creativity shine through in the shop when you visit.
If you missed the broadcast, we highly recommend finding it on catch up where she features alongside Paul Hainsworth. In the meantime, you can see Suzy’s creative work in person by visiting the Rougham Estate shop to view her latest displays and floral arrangements.

Join us for a fused glass cactus sculpture workshop, where you’ll design and make your own striking piece to take home.
It’s hands-on, a little bit different, and brilliantly satisfying – and no experience needed, just a willingness to have a go.
You’ll be guided through the process step by step, working with colour, shape and texture to bring your cactus to life in glass. A perfect way to try something new and leave with something truly unique.
Book via our website.
