Now for an update on the extension and refurbishment.
You will have noticed that work has already started on this exciting project. There will be a short, temporary closure of the tearoom while we do the internal work but we are not sure yet when this will be. As soon as we have firm dates we will let everyone know. Meanwhile we will continue as normal. Look out for information on the blog, facebook, twitter and our enewsletters.

Small Business Saturday
Support local small businesses and support your community!
Small Business Saturday is a national event showcasing the contribution that small businesses make to the economy.
When you choose to shop locally, buying direct from the producer, not only are you getting a great product but you are helping to support all the jobs involved in that business. Money spent with small, local, independent traders does not end up with multi-national companies or in pension funds but circulates locally, generating jobs for local people. These people in turn spend their money on local services keeping others in jobs. By spending your money at small, local retailers you are helping the whole community!
Support local business this Saturday and every day!
