Hello Everyone.

Been a full on couple of days here. Or rather months. Apologies in advance if I have come across blunt or rude in media, over the phone or face to face. Has been a tough time juggling front of house and back of house, staff and customers while Andrea has been away.

All I can do is my best. For some it seems that is not good enough, but those who know me well will know that I wont let it pull me down. Yes small business is hard and yes in occasionally gets stressful. We get through it and keep going.

Thanks to all our customers that come in to see us and snack on what we cook.

Cheers All.
