🫶🏼 We love how we've become a destination for Afternoon Tea lovers far and wide... but The Mug Tree isn't just for special occasions. With a varied menu of sandwiches, toasties, jackets and bagels, all freshly made to order, we're your everyday lunch stop too! 🥪🥯🍴

🦄 And there's a top notch children's menu too!

No occasion required. No booking required. Just pop in because you're hungry... or even when you're not!☕🫖🥂

👏 That's a wrap! The apron is down and the oven is off. You've certainly kept us busy the last few days, so what a way to close our doors for a little break! 😘 🌞 We will be back bringing you the best breakfasts, lunches, desserts, afternoon teas and homemade loveliness in just over two weeks, so please keep us in your minds while we whisk our boys to fight dragons and eat ice cream in Wales! 🐉 🏰 ⚔️
💕 😻 🫶 🥰 🫰 💟

Thank you, Coughlans. 💔
Thank you for the iced ring doughnuts and cokes on the way home from school in the 90s. Losing the Coughlans name from the High Street somehow hits different. Just look at that iconic high street and all the names we've loved and lost. I grew up walking that high street almost every day... Pollards, Woolworths, Coughlans, Abbey National.
Sadly, this closure is another reminder of just how difficult hospitality and retail have become.
We're being hit from EVERY direction. The cost of ingredients keeps rising every week. Energy, wages, rent, insurance and supplier costs continue to climb and all our suppliers are adding even more in fuel surcharges due to the ongoing conflict. Footfall is more and more unpredictable as customers are understandably forced to make more choices over their spending.

Independent businesses are working harder for smaller margins than ever before. So, if there's one thing I'd ask, it's this, if you have a favourite independent café, bakery, restaurant or shop, please don't assume they'll always be there. Visit them. Tell your friends about them. Leave them a review. Tag them online. Buy a coffee, a cake or a sandwich 💙
