The Tea House and Bar

Unfortunately due to a family bereavement the business will be closed for now.

Not sure when I will be back from the UK but I will post again when we plan to reopen.

Anyone with reservations has already been contacted.

Thank you for your understanding at this sad time.

We had a week off for our summer break so I took a break from the blog last Sunday too...in case you missed me...probably not!🤣

So this has been a short week although we did open on Friday as an extra which made sense as our first day back was Thursday so it seemed a bit wrong to open one day then take a day off. Back to normal now and we will be closed next Friday for our day off.

My birthday was on Wednesday and so on Friday evening we had a special celebration dinner at El Meson restaurant in Puerto Santiago and very enjoyable it was too.

This week in the shop we are looking forward to more birthday celebrations as people are booked in for our gorgeous Afternoon Tea, now that is a nice treat!.

I was exceptionaly busy on our return as there was
lots of cake and scone baking to he done as well as roasting gammon and chicken etc etc. I also needed to make the pitta pockets. Now let me just remind you how good these are. And by the way, every time I make them they get better and better! They are a lovely alternative to sliced bread and can be taken with any of our sandwich fillings. Jacket potato or a full fresh salad are also alternative options you can choose.

Thank you for you comments and kind reviews as always we are very happy to read those. Thanks also for all the cards, messages and happy birthday wishes you have sent to me thus week....I am still getting them four days on!

We were delighted to receive these photos of Jim with his new BFF Dexter sent to us by his Mum Elli@e. This lovely little family came to us several times before we were away and we had such fun. Its so nice at this quiet time of the year to really have more opportunities to speak to and engage with customers. This is the time when we really do get to know people, and we love that.

Good news for Gin tasters...we have an event running this coming Saturday, 20th June. This is the first one for weeks and we are really looking forward to it. If you would like to join us for the event then see all the details on the poster attached and book in as soon as possible. Places are limited.

If you are in Los Gigantes village this week, and why wouldn't you be as Oasis has reopened at last!! Yay!!do pop in and see us. We are open from 8am every day except Friday for delicious breakfasts...sets you up for the day.

Have a fabulous week everyone.
All the best from Jim and Lindsay 🎀

Another month over with...happy 1st of the month tomorrow. June....my birthday month...yay!

The weather has been fabulous all week...at last! And long may it continue. I understand the UK have had great weather too, well hold onto your brollies...we are flying over for our holiday on Thursday and of course the forecast is rain every single day😅🤣. Oh well! We don't go for the weather do we...we are looking forward to seeing friends and family, catching up and recharging our batteries.

So our last day this week will be Wednesday (sausage rolls day) and then we will reopen on Thursday 11th June. We will be open on the Friday (12th) too and ....drumroll...we have a gin tasting event scheduled for Saturday 13th June!! The first for weeks. We have some confirmed bookings but we need more participants for it to run so if you are interested let me know as soon as possible and we can get you booked on.

We are enjoying interesting both sweet and savoury try outs and old favourites now, as it's a wee bit quieter. But all your favourite regular items are still available of course. Tomorrow morning I am making fruit and plain scones as usual and more pitta breads which are absolutely lovely and an increasingly popular alternative to bread. We live them ourselves and I will certainly be making our packups for the plane with these for Thursday. BLT is particularly good on the pittas.

Thank you for your support, feedback and reviews this week. It's been our pleasure as always but your comments are always appreciated.

We do hope you can join us over the coming three days if you are in the area. It would be lovely to catch people before our break.

Do order your packups for the airport...you won't regret it! Our order is in already!

All the best folks, have a fabulous week.

It's been a mixed week this week. Busy some days and fairly quiet on others. We just take it as it comes but it's been lovely to see families back again already...I am guessing it's half term in many places this week. Lollipops at the ready!

We are looking forward to welcoming lots of Afternoon Tea clients this week...our favourite thing of all. We are able to take walk ins but if you can book ahead so much the better!

This week I am highlighting some of our most popular breakfast menu items. We offer a very flexible range allowing you to 'build your own' breakfast. You can order as much or as little as you like, the combinations are endless and of course you can follow up with a slice of homemade cake or a freshly baked scones!
We open for business at 8am every day except for Friday which is our one day off. Breakfast menu is available until 12.00noon.

If cakes are your 'thing' then you are in for a treat this week. Tomorrow (Monday) I have a new carrot cake, a delicious lemon sponge cake, Bakewell tart and chocolate brownies all ready for the display fridge. Plus, a fresh batch of fruit and plain scones will be made first thing, ready for opening time. Mondays are just delicious!

The cheese and onion pie is back by request this Tuesday. went well on Tuesday. On Wednesday I made two batches of sausage rolls, all sold by 10am!! Get your orders in for this week to avoid disappointment.

I will keep reminding you that we are on holiday from 4th to 11th June so keep it in mind if you like to visit us.

Thank you for your continued support, feedback, reviews and comments. We love receiving and reading what you have to say, it's very encouraging and we appreciate it.

Do pop in and see us if you are visiting Los Gigantes this week. If you are a group of 4 or more it's maybe worth booking ahead as we have limited larger tables.

Have a fabulous week everyone.
Best wishes from Jim and Lindsay 🎀
