We always strive to have at least one delicious gluten-free cake option in our display, alongside the options on our menu for mains and dessert 🤍

From brownies and iced muffins to indulgent chocolate tortes, we believe gluten-free should never mean missing out on something special🍫🧁✨

Yesterday we posted about the role our customers play in the development of our young staff. That post reached over 10,000 people, so we wanted to show you exactly what it looks like when customers and business owners invest in their staff.

Meet Hazel ❤️

Hazel originally joined us in 2023 as a 17-year-old. She started out as an Activities Instructor, before being trained as a High Wire Rescuer once she turned 18.

She then picked up her first ever Kitchen Porter shift on Christmas Day one year. From there, she moved into Front of House, starting as a Food Runner before progressing onto the floor and bar, eventually becoming a Team Leader for some of our events. Then came another opportunity, Hazel began helping with our social media.

Now, most recently, she has stepped into the kitchen to learn how to become a chef… and she’s been absolutely loving every second of it! 👩‍🍳

Her journey is exactly why we believe so strongly in investing in young people.

We don’t expect someone to walk through our doors knowing exactly what they want to do or already having every skill they need. We want to give them opportunities, teach them new things, trust them with responsibility and help them discover what they’re capable of.

Hazel is living proof of what can happen when you give young people those opportunities.

None of this happens without our amazing customers either. Every time you visit us, book an activity, eat with us, attend an event or support our business, you’re helping us create opportunities like these.

So, from all of us, thank you❤️

You may not realise it, but every time you walk through our doors, you’re helping a young person grow. ❤️
Our customers play such a huge part in the journey of the lovely young people we employ, and I’m not sure we say that often enough.
For many of our young people, this is their first experience of work. They may arrive nervous, shy, unsure of themselves and still finding their way in the world.
And then something lovely starts to happen.
They get to know you.
They learn to look you in the eye and say hello. They remember your usual order. They start a conversation. They learn how to deal with a busy day or put something right when it hasn’t gone to plan.
And you respond.
You smile. You chat. You have a laugh with them. You show patience when they’re learning. You notice when they’ve done something well. You ask them how they are.
Those little interactions might feel like nothing more than part of your visit — but to a young person finding their confidence and their place in the world, they can mean so much more.
We have the privilege of watching the transformation up close. The nervous first days gradually disappear, confidence grows, personalities shine through, and before long we find ourselves looking at these capable, confident young adults and wondering where the time went.
We’re incredibly proud to employ young people and to give them somewhere safe and supportive to learn, make mistakes, take responsibility and grow.
But we don’t do it alone.
You do it with us.
Our customers are part of their story. You help give them confidence. You give them opportunities to connect with people of all ages and backgrounds. And, often without even knowing it, you help prepare them for whatever comes next.
So the next time one of our young team serves you, has a chat with you or remembers exactly how you like things, know that you’re part of something rather special.
You’re not simply supporting our business.
You’re helping us grow some pretty wonderful young people.
And for that, we couldn’t be more grateful. ❤️

What happens when the Laird has just finished an event (still in his kilt!), the kitchen has one chef and a trainee chef still finding their feet on just their third day in the kitchen…. and the orders keep rolling in?

There was only one thing for it… Simon got stuck in.

While most people know him as the Laird, he also works in the kitchen most days as one of our chefs, so helping the team is all part of the job. Normally, though, he’s not doing it in a kilt! 👨‍🍳🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
