This May we will be closed for annual leave the week commencing the 11th of May as some of our team will be attending a charity walk followed by a well earned break over the weekend.

We wanted to let our lovely followers know that we will be closed week commencing 11th May as our team takes part in a very special charity walk. ❤️ We will be joined by some of our wider team members from The Frustrated Chef & Lapis Lounge. 🥰

Many of you will know Luke, who works both in our kitchen and front of house. In November last year, Luke and his family tragically lost their baby boy, Hunter.

In Hunter’s memory, we are taking on “Hunter’s Journey” — walking 80 miles in 3 days, travelling to all the places Hunter visited during his precious time on earth with us.

We are raising money and awareness for Heart Link Charity, this incredible charity supported Hunter during his days and continue to support his family today.

We’ll share the link below in the comments section where you can read their full story and contribute if you wish.

Thank you, as always, for your understanding, love, and support. 💛
