The nice people over at Marmite sent me this lovely vintage inspired, limited edition jar of yeasty goodness last week, and as one good turn deserves another, I thought I’d give it a bit of a plug.

Goodwood Revival runs this weekend between 17th and 19th of September, so check it out if you’re in the ‘hood.
