Love Local Life
The quality and diversity of locally produced foods were the celebrated topic at the Aga shop Alton, on Saturday 27th September. The Aga Local Life campaign had launched, and we had gone into every effort to make sure that our customers were treated to the best local flavours – all cooked on our very own Aga!

Aga demonstrator, Peter Hughes, was constantly cooking some enticing treats, such as a scrumptious variety of cakes and a huge Spanish omelette (that could generously feed ten people in an instant!). Peter also cooked delicious beef burgers and sausages that were supplied by our local Farm Shop. The sausages are made according to an old English recipe - they contain no preservatives and are packed with flavour.

Local producer, Hannah Pretorius, set up an attractive in-store display of her goods that
included her own homemade jams, preserves, oils and flavoured sugars. Hannah had plenty of interest in her products and willingly answered questions about her goods. Consequently, many of her delicious foods had no trouble selling and were quickly snapped up by our visitors.

Future Events

At Alton we like to pride ourselves on our customer service, so why not call in to book an Aga 'One-to-One', where we will demonstrate the virtues of Aga cooking on our live 4-Oven model. We also have a live Rayburn XT, on which we can guide potential customers through the tips and tricks of Rayburn cooking.
 
We have various demonstrations booked until the end of the year. From the introductory 'Day in the Life' course, to specialist classes, we aim to expand your Aga knowledge and give you culinary inspiration at the same time!
