Often wonder why I have no friends… I genuinely can’t figure it out!

Asked Daisy to come out for a drink, and the poor girl ended up with a paintbrush in her hand!

Honestly, I don’t know why anyone bothers with me! 🤷‍♀️🤣

A little apology from me tonight…

I’m so sorry, but due to personal family reasons, The Back Kitchen won’t be open tonight. I’m needed at home.❤️

This is probably one of the hardest parts of being self-employed and being the one in charge. Sometimes you have to make a decision about what matters most in the here and now.

And tonight, that’s my family.

I appreciate each and every one of my customers more than you probably realise, and I’m genuinely sorry for any inconvenience caused.

But sometimes, other things are just more important.

Thank you, as always, for your understanding and support.

Don’t worry, We’ll be back cooking for you on Friday

THAT’S IT! I’VE HAD ENOUGH!

I can’t take it anymore!

You probably already know, but this year has very much been about finding our feet — figuring out what works, what doesn’t, what needs changing and what the hell were we thinking when we put things where we did!

And let’s be honest… we’ve all shed far too many tears and had too many tantrums over lost items or banged shins and heads in that pot wash area, so today it’s getting sorted!

I’m fairly certain it was designed for toddlers. Sadly, child labour was abolished a long time ago, so we’ve had to make it suitable for actual adults… and, more importantly, Aidan’s 7ft lanky back!

So today I’m having a bit of a reshuffle and trying to make the kitchen work better for all of us.

So, to make sure we’re back up and running and ready to feed you all tonight, we’ll be opening slightly later than planned.

FOOD WILL BE SERVED FROM 6PM TONIGHT INSTEAD OF 5PM.

Apologies for any inconvenience, but hopefully this little reshuffle will make life a whole lot easier for us all going forward!

Right… back to moving things, swearing at things and pretending I know what I’m doing.

See you from 6pm!

Well… we’ve only gone and done it again!

Unfortunately, we’ve had to close early today because WE’VE RUN OUT OF FOOD!

Far too many hungry people for this little kitchen to keep up with today!

A massive THANK YOU to everyone who came along, booked a table, brought the family, brought the friends and filled our little pub with hungry faces. We honestly can’t thank you enough!

Moving into the winter season, we’ll be running our Sunday lunches from 12pm until they’re gone.

So if you’re craving a proper Sunday dinner, BOOK EARLY to avoid disappointment!

Once it’s gone… it’s gone! And apparently, you lot are VERY good at making it disappear!

Thank you, as always, for supporting our little Back Kitchen!

🎄✨ IT’S HERE… CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR AT THE BACK KITCHEN! ✨🥂

Well, we’ve only gone and done it… our Christmas Day menu AND New Year’s Eve menu are officially LIVE!

If you fancy letting someone else do the cooking, washing up and all the “who’s having what?” this year, then come and spend it with us at The Black Swan, Belford.

🎄 CHRISTMAS DAY 🎄
A proper festive feast, cooked from the heart and served country-pub style. No peeling potatoes, no washing-up mountain and definitely no arguing over who’s cooking the sprouts!

🥂 NEW YEAR’S EVE 🥂
Good food, good company and the perfect way to see out 2026 and welcome in 2027!

Both menus are now available to view, so have a look, choose your favourites and get your tables booked.

BOOKINGS ONLY
A deposit is required when booking to secure your table.
Spaces are limited, so please don’t leave it until the last minute!

Come and celebrate with us — we’d absolutely love to have you!

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again… there’s plenty to share around!

And oh my days… are people sharing!

A massive thank you to Blue Bell Hotel Belford and The Salmon - Belford for sending hungry people our way when you’re unable to cater for them.

That’s what it’s all about — supporting each other, recommending each other and helping each other grow. There is room for all of us, and when we work together, our little local businesses all benefit.

Thank you so much for supporting me and The Back Kitchen. It hasn’t even been a year yet, and the support we’ve had has honestly been incredible.

Here’s to local businesses looking out for local businesses.
