Happy Saturday

It’s much a much cooler day, making me think of Autumn already - it’s my favourite season!

Warm crisp evenings, hot chocolates by fire light, snuggly jumpers & comfort food.

What’s your favourite season?

With another heatwave predicted this week it means it’s still Iced Coffee season.

Staff favourite at the moment is our Tiramisu Frappe and Customer favourite is our Homemade Cherry Lemonade.
