Mollie and Dan, along with Courteney and young Daisy are going to be taking part in the Race for Life next Wednesday, raising valuable funds for Cancer Research. Any sponsorship would be gratefully appreciated for such a worthwhile cause, and one which means a lot personally to so many of us.

Good luck team - you’ll do great! xx

Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life to raise money and save lives. 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Every single pound you donate makes a difference to Cancer Research UK’s groundbreaking work.

Thanks to all who joined us today for a very busy Valentine’s Day - it was lovely to see so many people out enjoying a rare bit of a winter sun.

I also enjoyed trialling a new cake for the special day - our homemade white chocolate and strawberry cake went down a treat so we’ll definitely be making that one again 😊

Hope you all have a great weekend and we’ll be back Monday morning, fully stocked after pretty much running out of cake today!

Love is in the air!

Bring your nearest and dearest to enjoy an afternoon tea (though other meals and treats are also acceptable!) with us this Saturday. We are open from 10am to 4pm and look forward to helping you celebrate Valentine’s Day 💕

We’ll be reopening at 10am on Monday 2nd February 🍰☕️

Hope you’ve all had a good January - shame about storm Chandra (and other storms that went before that I’ve now forgotten about)!

We are really looking forward to seeing everyone and getting back into the swing of things after our winter break! Hope to catch up with you all soon 😊

We’re pretty much one week into 2026 so hope it’s treating you all well and you enjoyed celebrating Christmas and New Year.

We are currently a couple of weeks into our winter holiday, recharging the batteries before we reopen on Monday 2nd February. I’m late this year (in fact later than ever) with my end of year post, but as always it’s a huge thanks to our hardworking team for the hours they’ve put in during 2025 to keep everyone fed, watered and smiling.

2025 was another great year, with plenty of laughs along the way.

It was a privilege to see Mol and Dan get married, and I’m still feeling quite proud I managed to create a wedding cake that didn’t collapse - a personal achievement, with some help from my ever-supportive mother!

Ben leaves us this year for pastures new. He has been with us since he was a young and timid 15 year old, and has grown into a very confident, outgoing and competent 19 year old. Please join us in wishing him all the best, and good luck to his future colleagues who now need to endure his dreadful jokes.

We look forward to seeing you all again when we return in February, but until then I’ll leave you with some photos from a very snowy Filey which has been a pain to get around but quite pretty.

Happy new year from us all - hope 2026 is a good one!

It’s Christmas!

We have two weeks left until we close on Saturday 20th December this year so come down and enjoy the warmth of the tea room and the lovely festive treats!

Today it’s homemade stollen scones, rum truffles and mince pies! We are also doing our ever popular festive afternoon tea 🎄

Whilst you’re here, you can also tick off a bit of shopping. We have beautiful homemade pottery by Art by Sarah, a wide selection of jams and chutneys (including our special festive flavours) and also offer gift vouchers to treat your loved ones.

Look forward to seeing you all over the next couple of weeks!

So much for me saying I didn’t think it would snow heavily in Filey…

For those brave enough to be out in town today, come and warm up with our new toasted marshmallow hot chocolate - toasted marshmallow syrup, Cadbury’s hot chocolate, topped with whipped cream and brûléed marshmallows. Perfect for these wintry days ❄️

This handsome little man is 2! Thank you to everyone who wished Aaron a happy birthday this weekend and for his lovely cards and gifts - he is one very lucky boy and Simon and I are so grateful! Meanwhile I’m sat here wondering where the last two years have gone…

15/10/2025

We’re back (almost!)
We’ll be reopening tomorrow from 10am after our break. Look forward to seeing everyone soon 🙂

Emma, Simon & the rest of the team xx

See you on our return x
