Bridlington Bay lobsters arriving on Saturday. Delivered by Karl and Jenny in the morning and in front of you a few hours later. I always look forward to a few minutes chatting with Karl at lobster handover. I could talk about seafood all day (as you know if you've ever asked me a question about anything on our board) and no matter how busy we are, I love to come out of the kitchen and show off our lobsters (you'll often hear me being called back to the grill). We are so very fortunate to have Karl Price bringing them in for us and so very proud have them on our board.

We have had some spectacular fish today, freshly caught in Skipsea. Will definitely show you that glorious haul (it is stunning) and what we did with it at some point. But not tonight. This here is our spectacular Sophie, and today is her birthday, so Sunday's spot on the grid should be hers. We love her so much, as I know you all do too. Our ship wouldn't' stay afloat without her, her constant care, hard work (4 miles in one day round this floor!), unshakable calm (and there's been some trials of that!), and her absolute dedication to us all and this place.This afternoon we pushed three of four tables together and got as many as we could (there was some missing) of the Old Lifeboat Station tribe gathered around them and there is nothing in the sea as spectacular to me as that.

What we got up to last night. It was a race to the finish to pull this off, being opening and prepping for an event was a stretch (and a half). But it was so exciting for us to have the opportunity to be introduced to so many wonderful, innovative and dedicated producers and makers included in Caitlin Pharoah The Hidden Figures Of Yorkshire. And even more exciting to be the lucky recipients of so many of their glorious and varied produce to create the evenings food with. We had HolgateWindmill (amazing place, run by volunteers, definitely a one to visit) flour for the bread, crackers and pastry, Yorkshire pecorino cheeses for the tart, blue cheese cream profiteroles and whipped ricotta, beautiful honey from Matt Curl who is both beekeeper and miller. Incredible cheeses from the The Courtyard Dairy for the fruitcake and crackers, Whitby Seasalt and vinegar for the pickled cucumbers, Anna Longthorp spectacular free range pork for the country terrine and Twisted Roots Distillery rum in our chutney. We really wanted to do our best to showcase the amazing things happening in Yorkshire, in food form, we were celebrating what wonderful things can happen, when we all do what we can, with a lot of love, commitment and skill.
Also what a thrill to spend the evening in York's Merchant Hall. What a place!

We will be back in our station on Friday, but will finish lunch at the earlier time of 14.00. I have had the great privilege and pleasure of being asked to make some food showcasing some incredible local produce from talented and committed producers and makers around Yorkshire, for the book launch of Caitlin Pharoah Hidden Figures Of Yorkshire. It has been a real treat to have wonderful things arriving at the Lifeboat Station to prepare for Friday evenings book launch. We have some family outings to collect thing (and some wild goose chases when I didn't read my directions) and it has really highlighted the diversity and vibrancy of the area we live in. I am sorry you won't all be there, and that I'll have to disappear early on Friday, but we'll be back to normal for the rest of the weekend. See you soon!

A weekend of good stuff. Great plates, fantastic folk eating it and the ever faithful crew making it happen. We couldn't be more delighted with our little corner of the universe. Thank you for being in it with us. Long live The Old Lifeboat Station and all those who sail in her! Until next weekend friends.

We will be here tomorrow and Sunday usual times, usual places. Karl is having a well earned weekend off so the lobsters won't have their usual spot on the write up but we will definitely still make a board that's worth your trip down. Breakfast 9.30-11.30, lunch 12.15-15.30 and evening 6-8pm ( evening opening Saturday only). Plenty of chances to spend some of your weekend with us, we are looking forward to spending ours with you! See you then.

What a weekend! You all showed up (we knew you would) and working with Mark was an utter joy (we knew it would be). Really has been a long held dream of mine to bring 𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕾𝖔𝖈𝖎𝖆𝖑 𝕯𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖔𝖗𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓 in to this space, and share a kitchen with Mark. It has been incredible for us all, and I'm pretty certain it has been for you lot too. Thank you so much for being here, and for all your support, as always. We all make this what it is, and what it is, is glorious! Ending the weekend happy, inspired and knackered. Sure sign that it's been a belter.

Our first day as 𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕾𝖔𝖈𝖎𝖆𝖑 𝕯𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖔𝖗𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓 and The Old Lifeboat Station, shoulder to shoulder, plating up the freshest Bridlington bay catch and doing it justice the best way we can. It has been absolutely ace to be together, and be with you, in this space. It's about the food, and that's really exciting, but also as much about the people. There's something really special about it. Come and be part of it, tonight between 6-8pm and then tomorrow 12.15-15.30 &6-8pm. See you then, friends.
