All our home-made items are made right here on site at the Sunnyside. Where possible they are made using locally sourced produce with sustainable packaging.
We control what goes into the home-made items so food doesn’t contain preservatives and we try to make them as healthy as possible. Our home-made items include:
We make home-made jam using locally grown fruit from Flavourfresh. Our range of jams includes Sweet Victoria Blackberry’s, Lusa Strawberry’s, Duke Blueberry’s and Raspberry. Thier produce is of a very high quality and they are one of Marks and Spencer’s select farmers.
The jam is purchased from the Flavourfresh on side shop, The Garage. Funds raised from The Garage are put back into the community through sponsorship projects and are used to help pay for social events for their hard-working team.
Our jam is packaged in glass jars which we reuse, instead of using single use plastic pots. It contains basic ingredients; fruit, sugar and lemon juice. no preservatives. It also has high fruit content in comparison to store bought jams.
Our jams can be purchased from the Sunnyside with all proceeds going to this years charity, Queenscourt Hospice.
Our home-made marmalade has been very popular with guests. It contains a high percentage of shreds in comparison to store bought marmalades making it a little unique.
We are currently using standard oranges to make our marmalade, however to hope to source some premium Saville oranges when they come into season shortly.
As with our jam the marmalade is packaged in glass jars which we reuse, instead of using single use plastic pots. It contains basic ingredients; orange, sugar and lemon juice. no preservatives. It also has high fruit content in comparison to store bought marmalade.
Our home-made ketchup contains locally sourced cherry tomatoes from Flavourfresh farm located less than 6 miles down the road.
Their tomatoes are of very high quality and naturally taste very sweat which means the ketchup dosn’t require much sugar. Our ketchup contains cherry tomatoes, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic and onion powder. It is served in squeezy, reusable plastic sauce bottles that we refill to avoid any single use plastic waste.

The ingredients for our cup-cakes include Nelstrops artisan flour from their mill in Stockport, free-range eggs from Kenyons farm near Preston (15 miles away), milk from Bates Dairy in Southport, our own home-made butter, sugar and icing sugar.
We bake fresh batches of cakes at least twice a week and when we have spare cakes we take them to The Southport Soup Kitchen to help feed the needy.

With the yoghurt we also include our jam made from a choice of Sweet Victoria Blackberry’s, Lusa Strawberry’s, Duke Blueberry’s and Raspberry from local farm Flavourfresh.
We occasionally make home-made butter to go in our cup-cakes as it helps a fluffier base for the cake and a creamier icing.
