Bocchoris Brut Cava
A few years ago, we visited Barcelona and enjoyed a slow bottle of Cava one evening watching yachts in the marina. The most well known Spanish fizz, Cava is a bottle that's full of flavour and in our view, a little more elegant and grown up than Prosecco without being as serious as Champagne.

Cotswold Croquettes
We love exploring the local produce and eating our way round the countryside. 2 very good things we have in Gloucestershire are cheese and ham.
Croquettes are one of our favourite snacks or tapas dishes so combining Spain with the Cotswolds felt like a no brainer for this beautiful Spanish Cava.
Simply replace with the best local produce you can find from wherever you are!
Ingredients
For 2 people sharing
2 slices of ham, finely chopped
200g cheese, grated
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp flour
200ml milk
1 egg, whisked
100g flour
100g breadcrumbs
Method
Melt the butter in a pan then add 1 tbsp flour and whisk to combine. Slowly add the milk, heating gently until it starts to thicken.
Turn off the heat, add the cheese and ham and season to taste.
Spread the mixture on a clingfilm-lined baking tray and put in the fridge until cool and firm.
Remove from the fridge and cut into equal, golfball size portions.
Roll each into a ball, then roll in flour, followed by egg then breadcrumbs to coat.
Deep fry until golden in oil at 170c.
Serve with Aioli or a tomato dip.
