Weekend menu – Friday 18 & Saturday 19 August 2017

A sign of the times perhaps but I see the Vegan cafe around the corner is closing down this week and the little coffee shop up on the top is closed and has a bailiffs notice attached to the front door. We had a call this week from someone who said they had not been in for some time and asking if we still did tapas. The previous owners of our business did a form of tapas with San Miguel on draught but they left in summer 2003! You’ll find a lot can change if you leave it 14 years between visits. Just ordered our fresh fish delivery for the morning and we have tables available for both Friday and Saturday dinner at time of writing. As always please call us on 01453 832808 to book yours. Saturday brunch served from 11a.m.

Weekend menu – 4 & 5 August 2017

We have a glut of courgettes and tomatoes at the moment. As well as our own home grown produce on occasion friends and customers very kindly turn up with a box of large, misshapen courgettes or similar and there is only so much soup, sauce and chutney you can make. We’ll repay the favour when our pears are ready, it looks like another good year and in fact we are still using the 2016 pear chutney. We have tables available for both Friday and Saturday at time of writing. Please call us on 01453 832808 to book.

Our neighbour is having a new driveway laid and due to the cutting of paving slabs and a gentle breeze everything is covered in a fine dust.

A new record of sorts……we had customers eating and drinking in the garden every evening last week. On Wednesday all our tables ate outside so it looked as though we had an empty restaurant if you passed by. Thankfully that was not the case. Rain forecast for this week though but you never know.

Mid week menu 20 to 22 June 2017

We got the courtyard set up and stood by for a busy Saturday brunch and…….nothing happened! We had a few in but none of our “regulars” showed up and Nailsworth was like a ghost town. I guess the garden or the seaside were a bigger draw on the hottest day of the year so far. Hopefully better luck next week.

Mid week menu – 6 to 8 June ’17

“There’s nowt so queer as folk”…..let me explain. Mid brunch yesterday a few ladies came in and looked around then asked if we could accommodate a party of 8 in the courtyard in half an hours time.We had a table just paying and with a bit of shuffling  of furniture we could so they said they would round up the rest of their group from local shops and be back in 30 minutes or so…….the table that we set up for 8 remained empty for the rest of the day….thanks a lot!
