Embracing the Summer Solstice and Midsummer Traditions June is synonymous with the summer solstice, occurring this year on June 21st at 03:42 BST . This astronomical event marks the longest day and shortest night of the year, as the Northern Hemisphere tilts closest to the sun. Historically, the solstice has been a time of celebration and mysticism. Ancient Britons observed this celestial event with rituals at sites like Stonehenge, where the sun's rays align perfectly with the stones during sunrise. Midsummer traditions include bonfires, dancing, and feasting, reflecting a deep connection to nature and the cycles of the earth.

Tack Room Recipe: Our Signature Steak Sandwich Want to try your hand at making it at home? Here’s our simplified version of The Tack Room favourite – ideal for a weekend lunch or an easy midweek treat. Ingredients (Serves 2): • Sous-vide steak • 2 sourdough slices • Handful of salad • Chimichurri and red onion marmalade • 2 tbsp truffle mustard mayo • Olive oil, salt & pepper Method: 1. Prep the steak: Rub with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Allow to come to room temperature before cooking. 2. Sear to perfection: In a hot pan or on a grill, cook the steak to your liking (we recommend medium-rare). Rest for 5–7 minutes before slicing thinly. 3. Build your sandwich: Lightly toast the bread. Spread truffle mayo on both sides. Add salad, warm steak slices, chimichurri and marmalade. 4. Serve up: Pair with chunky chips or a crisp salad. Perfect Pairings Pair your steak sandwich with a bold red – a glass of Malbec or a smooth Rioja works beautifully. Or keep things local with a pint of East Anglian craft ale.

As the chill of early spring lingers and the evenings call for something indulgent, Baked Camembert takes centre stage as our Meal of the Month here at The Tack Room in Newmarket. Rich, gooey, and deeply comforting, it’s the perfect dish for sharing — whether you're joining us for a relaxed lunch or tucking into something warm and indulgent before your main.

It’s a dish that invites you to slow down, tuck in, and enjoy every warm, melty mouthful.  At The Tack Room, we serve our baked Camembert with a touch of rosemary and garlic, alongside freshly toasted sourdough and a dollop of house-made chutney — perfect for sharing (or not).
