Once upon a pumpkin…..

Halloween marks the start of Autumn, warm fires, colder nights, horror movies and pumpkin carving means plenty of pumpkin to make some delicious treats with.

Here in beautiful Suffolk we are so lucky to have some amazing locations for picking your own pumpkins. We have Witchpit Farm in Woodbridge, Pumpkin Jim’s in Saffron Walden & The Pumpkin Barn in Eye.

For a bit of fun for Halloween we’ve put together our favourite pumpkin inspired recipes for our patient’s to try at home with their families, we hope you love them as much as we do!
