1. Rounders in the park – Have a day of sporting fun with a game of rounders in the park and spend the day getting competitive. A game of rounders will keep your kids entertained for hours and all that running round won’t do any harm to your waistline!

2. Get green fingered - Your garden is a great place to keep your kids entertained. Why not plant seeds and flowers and give your garden some pampering with your kids. Its also educational as your family watch the progression of your plants/flowers.

3. Get crafty - We’ve all watched presenters on Blue Peter make wonderful creations out of empty washing up liquid bottles and sticky-back plastic. So why not get creative and help your child to make a masterpiece to pass the time? You can get inspiration from Blue Peter here http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/bluepeter/thingstodo/.

4. Go to a museum – Entry is free into most museums in the UK, so get cultural and help your child to learn and see wonderful works of art without spending a single penny.

5. Movie Marathon - British summer is famous for its unpredictable weather. Don’t let the rain dampen your fun though. Pick a stack of favourite dvd’s and have a movie marathon to pass the time.

We’ve also found a great website where you can select your location and see what free activites are available in your local area: http://www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/.

If you have any good suggestions, leave a comment. We’d love to hear what you’ll be getting up to with your kids!

The review states that we deliver ‘wholesome, well-crafted food at a not unreasonable price’ and describes our Jimmy’s Farm burger as ‘moist, flavoursome and chunky, it came scorched on the outside but cooked medium within – as burgers should’.

Made from rare-breed, free-range beef that has been marbled & slowly matured for at least 3 weeks, the Jimmy’s Farm burger is served with a delicious caramelised onion relish in our sour dough buns.

We’re so pleased to be working with Jimmy Doherty, currently hosting Jimmy’s Food Factory on BBC One, as we search all over the UK to find the best farmers to bring you the freshest and finest ingredients, and now we’re bringing to you the best rare-breed beef in the land.
