🥪 What’s your go-to crisp with a sandwich? 🥔

A freshly made sandwich or toastie just isn’t quite the same without a bag of crisps on the side! 😋

We’ve got a great selection in the café at the moment, including:

🧀 Tyrrells Mature Cheddar & Chive
🦐 Tyrrells Prawn Cocktail
🌶️ Tyrrells Sweet Chilli & Red Pepper
🥩 Tyrrells Beef Brisket & Black Peppercorn
🧸 Pom-Bear Original
🧀 Mini Cheddars

Whether you’re popping in for lunch or grabbing something to take away, they’re the perfect addition to one of our freshly made sandwiches, toasties or wraps. 🥪☕

So… what’s your favourite crisp? Are you team Tyrrells, Mini Cheddars, or can you never resist a bag of Pom-Bears? 👇😊

🍯 IT’S BACK… OUR LOCAL HONEY HAS BEEN RESTOCKED! 🐝

The wait is over! Mr C the Bee Man has dropped off a fresh batch of his delicious local honey. 🍯💛

The bees are hard at work just a few hundred yards up the river from our little café, so you really can’t get much more local than that! 🌼🐝

Every jar is just £7, and every penny goes back towards the upkeep of the bees, helping Mr C continue the amazing work he does looking after them. ❤️

We’ve also given the jars a little makeover with some new labels! 👀

Now we need your help…
🤍 Which do you prefer?
⬜ The white background label
🫧 Or the clear label?

Let us know your favourite in the comments! We’d love to hear what you think. 👇🐝🍯

As always, thank you for supporting local businesses, local beekeepers, and of course… our busy little bees! 💛🌼🐝 #💛🌼🐝 ‼️

☀️ DID YOU KNOW…? 🌿🧺

You don’t have to sit at a table to enjoy your visit!

If you fancy making the most of the sunshine, you’re welcome to borrow one of our picnic blankets and find yourself a lovely spot along the riverbank. 💚

Grab your favourite coffee, iced drink, lunch or a slice of homemade cake from Mrs Potts by the River, roll out a blanket and enjoy a peaceful riverside picnic. There’s no better way to spend a sunny afternoon! 🥪☕🍰

Our blankets are free to use—we just ask that you pop them back in the basket when you’ve finished so the next customer can enjoy them too. 😊

A huge thank you to the lovely Serena for being our beautiful model today! ❤️

Fresh out of the kitchen we have:
🍯 Salted Caramel Apple Flapjack – gooey, buttery and packed with sweet apples, finished with a delicious salted caramel topping.

If apple is your favourite, these bakes are calling your name! 🍏❤️

Why not pop down to Mrs Potts by the River, grab a slice (or two!), a hot or cold drink, and enjoy a relaxing afternoon by our beautiful riverside while the sunshine lasts. ☀️🌿

🌯 We’re trying something new… and we need your help! 🌯

As many of you know, our wraps have always been a popular choice here at Mrs Potts by the River. This week, we’re trialling a new brand of wrap that’s a little bigger, softer and, we think, even tastier! 😍

The fillings are still your favourites – it’s just the wrap itself that’s had an upgrade.

Pictured here is our Chicken, Bacon, Salad & Creamy Mayonnaise wrap… delicious! 🥓🥗🐔

Pop in this week, give one a try with your favourite filling, and let us know what you think. If it’s a hit with you, it could become our new permanent wrap!

As always, your feedback is really important to us, so don’t be shy – we’d love to hear your thoughts! ❤️🌿 ⁉️

🍯 It’s finally back… our local honey! 🐝💛

We’ve been patiently waiting all year, and we’re so excited to finally have our delicious local honey back in stock!

Our bees’ hives are located just 100 yards up the river from our little café, so you really couldn’t get a more local or fresher honey than this. 🌼🌿

At just £7 a jar, not only are you getting beautiful Hampshire honey, but every penny goes back to Mr C, our wonderful Bee Man, helping him care for and maintain the hives and keep our buzzing friends happy and healthy. 🐝❤️

Whether you drizzle it on toast, stir it into your tea, or enjoy it by the spoonful, this honey is a real taste of our local riverside.

Pop into Mrs Potts by the River and grab a jar while stocks last – it always proves popular! 🍯✨
