Our next supper club dates are now on sale. This time it's a Filipino feast. A seven dish menu of small plates, which is designed to be shared. Please take a look at the menu below. This is a relaxed, communal dining event, meaning you will be sat on large sharing tables and we encourage everyone to get to know each other throughout the evening. Tickets are £40pp. There will be drinks available to purchase on the night with natural wines from Provisions and beer from Wild Card brewery. We will also have a selection of cocktails. The event starts at...
Summer Holiday.
We're all going on a summer holiday. We'll be closed from the 1st to the 8th August. Back open on the 9th August at 8am. We close for a week in the summer every year - most of you know this by now. It means everyone can have time off together, which is very rare. This year is also special as Kat is getting married up in Yorkshire, so some of the staff will be heading up for that and we all need adequate time to prepare / recover!
Birthday and Jubilee! Wrote the title then immediately googled “what is a jubilee”… turns out it’s an anniversary of an event usually denoting the 25th, 40th, 50th etc anniversary and in the case of Queen Lizzie… 70th!

Christmas Closure and Covid Response. Just a quick update to let you know that we are now operating as takeaway only until we close for Christmas. We’re short staffed and, as Covid is very much back, we want to reduce the risk to staff as much as we possibly can, so that they can make it home for Christmas this year. We’re also slightly extending our winter break, so our last day open is now Tuesday 21st December. We are fully closed from the 22nd December to the 3rd January. Back open again at 8am on the 4th! We would...
Winter Break. We choose to close the café over Christmas and New Year every year. We have done this since we opened in 2017 and it has become so important to us that all of the staff and the café itself gets this break, at the same time. A full closure / reset. We have even started having a summer break too, during our quietest time in August. It’s been a tough year, tougher than 2020 perhaps? Physically harder at least, getting back into the working routine not to mention staff shortages, supply issues (packaging and carbonated drinks where are...
