We were honoured to host the first pop-up of the season with the very talented Jake McCarthy, and dream team Clara & Marina . We sat and got to enjoy the deliciousness too! It was super, so super it really needs to be done again. A date in May is incoming - keep an eye here for more details or let us know if you'd like a message when the tickets go on sale 👀

Tulips putting on a show in the garden today as we get ready to open on May 1st at 11am. The weather is taking its time to warm up, but we will take the blue skies and birds 🐦 singing for now. See you all soon we hope.

We are looking for the right person to take on and run our seasonal café in the Grinding House, and would love to hear from someone with a genuine interest in food and hospitality.

Perfect for someone who wants to (or already is) running their own food business - simple menu, great coffee, and a space to make your own.

Interested? Get in touch with a little about yourself and how you would approach using the space.
