Our kitchen supervisor Jo is always looking for ways to reduce waste in the kitchen and we’re always keen to develop delicious things!
Faced with a load of left over egg whites, she got her thinking cap on and has turned them into these pistachio and almond ricciarelli biscuits.

A soft, chewy Italian biscuit that’s just the right size alongside a coffee.

After countless cakes, mountains of pastry, and enough stories to fill several books (most of which probably can’t be repeated on Instagram 😄), it’s time for Hazel to hang up her golden rolling pin.

Hazel has been with us since the very beginning, helping build The Porthole one cake at a time. She’s now retiring to spend more time with her family, dancing and knitting jumpers for all of The Porthole babies!!

Thank you Hazel, we will miss you so much!

The sun is out and the Braunton asparagus season is here!
Seasonal change up for the feast boxes with a new punchy, green salsa verde and a really special slaw finished with salty/sweet/crunchy/spicy cashew nut mix that we can’t stop eating.

Topped with hummus, pickles and toasted seeds - as always GF and Vegan!

Cash, dosh, bread, readies, moolah...WE NEED YOU!

We've always taken cash and we always will but sourcing change is becoming increasing difficult for us. Our bank no longer offers a change giving so we're calling on you lovely people to help!

If you have a money tin hanging about or you've being collecting those coins and want to change them up then feel free to bring them to the Porthole to change them into notes. We'd very much appreciate it!

Beautiful, blustery, Park run Saturday

Starting and finishing just a few hundred metres from us, the Woolacombe dunes park run is said to be one of the toughest in the country but arguably one of the most scenic. Have you ever completed it and faced the dune of doom?

The sunshine may have taken a day off but it’s perfect walking weather and we are open 7 days full of all of the usual Porthole goodies!

1. Spring is springing in the Porthole flower beds
