The name comes from the beer we use - "Stranded Bunny" is a smooth Porter named for the loneliest wee colony of rabbits on the Skerries, the group of small rocky islands you can see from Shola. Stranded Bunny Porter is produced locally in Portrush by our very own Lacada Brewery, a community owned co-operative brewery established late in 2015 and of which we are proud co-owners. They not only produce this award-winning porter, but have a range of other craft beers with names that capture the North Coast and tastes to match. Plus Lacada host the Portrush Beer & Food Festival annually in the autumn - check out our What's On page for dates. |

This bread is AMAZING!! We stayed with Sharon and Dave recently at Shola. What a treat it was to eat this homemade bread. It is really more like a cake than a bread but we certainly enjoyed it all the same for breakfast. Try it out. I am sure you will like it!

Great stuff Jayne, the other alternative is making it with Guinness. You'll have to find some Abernethy butter close to you or stock up on it if ever you are passing Fortnum & Mason in London!! Here is the link to their stockists in England: http://abernethybuttercompany.com/england/
