Everything from soups & stews to cakes, scones and even our house-made sandwich fillings: we cook, we bake, we chat and we play pretty cool music..

Such was the fervour for last weekend’s adventurous new stew that I decided to slide it on to the supper club menu and hence we’ve got it back on again for the lunch crowd because, frankly, there’s only so much inspiration and stock organising one can manage. Besides, it’s belting. The Seoul II Soul is the new meaty showstopper for the next few weeks so let us know if you’re liking saucy, sticky Korean BBQ beef & noodles in a sandwich and prepare yourself because I reckon the Christmas feels are starting to emerge from hibernation.. I don’t make the rules (actually, yes I do and I love making ludicrous Christmas sandwiches). Fancy joining us this weekend? 😋

Last of the summer w**e.. thank you to everyone who attended yesterday, yet another cosy dinner party ❤️
_____________________
It’s been an unseasonal end to September, almost as if the climate is changing, but I think this will likely be the final BYOB supper club of 2026 that commences amidst swathes of sunshine. The summer evenings are lovely but the darker nights often make for a more intimate affair and with that in mind we reckon it might be time start gauging interest not just for the next couple of months but also, deep breath, the Christmas specials. It feels quite surreal for us personally to be discussing the festive season in light of the year we’ve had, but we’d be letting ourselves and our memories down by not putting on a brave face in December..
_____________________.so, if you’re new to our after hours dining, let us know if you’d like to get on board and if anyone is definitely interested in a festive number then don’t hang about, there’s usually quite the fierce demand.. comment, tag your friends, send us a DM or just have a word next time you’re in at the weekend and we’ll add you to a priority list to contact when any of the dates going forward are confirmed.. 🎄

Those mischievous social media memories, reminding us we’d been sat on a near deserted beach in the Algarve witnessing the harvest moon this time last year as we audibly cursed at having not booked the September weekend off. “We’ll probably be quiet”, we mused. “What a wasted opportunity”. But alas, our musing was misplaced, as anyone who joined us may testify. Not gonna lie, still having the odd sneaky peek at some last minute winter sunshine escapes in the coming weeks but today wasn’t the worst way to spend a Sunday, even if it did feel like a rainforest inside our little cafe with the tables packed and the doors closed to ward off those torrential downpours. Thanks as always to all you regulars and a very warm welcome to what was a delightful influx of newcomers.. you just cannot beat that feeling of living up to expectations. Until next time Cathcart ❤️

Got you a debutant stew, a debauched new sandwich, that smorgasbord of old faithfuls and a selection of home baking that’d make an Enid Blyton novel blush. Not to mention our jolly good company… join us for lashings and lashings of the good stuff?

We’ve been here a fair old while now and from time to time we ponder upon the idea of moving away somewhere new, starting a fresh adventure. It’ll happen one day, I’m sure.. I am knocking on a bit. But there’s an almighty obstacle in the way of any plans we might consider and that’s the hordes of lovely visitors we welcome in each weekend: you’re all much more friends than customers and I can’t quite imagine it being possible to recreate such an environment elsewhere, never mind how much we’d miss you all.. thanks for another weekend of making us feel special Cathcart ❤️

..oh sorry, you’re probably wondering WTF that picture is. Well, it’s a family of bums with arms, legs & faces who are simultaneously weeing, pooing and farting that Penelope Florence Connell produced for us last Saturday morning just before opening time. The text on the right hand side says “FART” for those of you who can’t read, though we’ve yet to establish for certain what that unsettling looking blue undercarriage is. She did this of her own accord and although I apologise to all of the other parents at nursery in advance for any influence she may sway, I’m definitely framing this one. Don’t ever dare try and tell me this an ordinary social media presence. Fancy a table at which to seat your own bum? (arms, legs & face optional - we won’t check 👀 )

Well that’ll teach me to talk of tasty meat batons ey? There was a point during Saturday lunchtime where sandwich toasting became something of a dangerous game of Tetris, slotting the variously shaped offerings into place on my panini grills whilst avoiding the napalm-like cheese pulls. I walked 15 kilometers around that tiny kitchen of mine between 4am and 5pm. FIFTEEN. Fuelled by a single piece of toast and half a coffee (a bastardo: a cortado that Anne makes me but she’s not allowed to smile during the process and ideally has to condescend me on the correct temperature at which to serve various caffeinated beverages whilst handing it over) that had been microwaved about six times. I should probably wear more sensible footwear than my sliders for such a shift, though I should also probably not wear shorts all year round whilst often carrying vats of boiling hot soup about too but the holiday clobber just seems to make it all flow a little bit more smoothly. As do you lot, of course, actually couldn’t imagine a more amicable set of folk to spend our working days with. What a cheesy bastard. See you next weekend. ❤️

Our toasted panini never take an Instagram-friendly snap but then I imagine the fact that I’ve actually just used the word snap might sum up our increasing irrelevance to the gram-thirsty zoomer world we live in. Who cares, this is one very delicious meat baton, the chilli beef & chorizo melt.. stick it in yer chops. Open from 10am, reservations recommended 😋

A giant glass cake stand smashed to smithereens, likewise a couple of pieces of crockery, gallons of soup chugged and pounds of cake munched, my socks spattered with blood from a shin injury I’ve no recollection of suffering and the self-appointed “kitchen manager” fast asleep at the wheel before the curtain was drawn.. I think we’ve all earned our keep tonight. Until next weekend Cathcart, your patronage is never taken for granted 🙏
