1st year anniversary

We went picking wild garlic today and realised that we were doing the same exactly a year ago when we first opened… its our birthday! And Spring is here again which means lots of exiting food is reappearing. Expect to see lots of asparagus, rhubarb, purple sprouting broccoli, nettles, spinach and our all the beautiful varieties of kale.

Chef has just found a robot coupe on Gumtree for a fraction of its shop price so maybe, just maybe we will be selling cones by summer time – a pipe dream come true!

Oh and we just signed a new lease on the building so we will be around for at least another year.

Cheers to that.

Compost…

A short and sweet post on a very important matter; all the green waste generated by the restaurant is being turned into beautiful compost by our compost master and dishwasher extraordinaire, Ollie. He cycles it home in his bike trailer after work and gets exited about its strange compositional transformation every day.
