TEA HUT Update -

To all of my lovely customers. I am very sorry for the recent closure. Unfortunately as many of you will be aware, my Dad recently passed away.
I was hoping to be back open this week, however our lovely dog (Rusty) is currently very unwell and has been needing around the clock care.
As you know, I am mainly a ‘one woman band’ in the tea hut, so it means it will remain shut for a little longer. All being well you should see me for the start of half term 23rd May, when I will have my lovely staff available to help me.

See you all soon for a much needed cuppa/ coffee and a good old chat…

Thanks, Abby 🫶
