Hello spring! So lucky to have all our beautiful flowers home grown by my own mum. Happy Mother’s Day all. We’re open from 10am today. Lots of specials on like Shakshuka, bubble and squeak and pesto, tomato mozzarella tarts. We also offer afternoon teas. No need to book 😁❤️

We’re having to make some changes to the way we operate in order to make the business more efficient, so we are going back to walk-ins only. We simply cannot have tables sat empty and reserved while we juggle bookings so from now on it’s first come, first served!

Twenty years ago today, with equal amounts of excitement and fear, we opened the door of Haydens to the public for the first time. There has literally been blood, sweat and tears. Also, at least one recession and a pandemic. Luckily there has also been lots of laughter and reward. We've never worked so hard for so little money but have learned a lot and made some great friends over the years. Couldn't have done it without the staff (employing some 200 members of the local community - many of who were not even born when we opened)! We remain our own hardest critics but having branched out into event catering, look forward to the next chapter. Merry Christmas all and happy birthday to us! 🌲😀🍷 #

After a few set-backs, the scaffolding is finally down. Roof tiles, leaking gutters and broken windows all fixed and the front has had a little redec.
Open until Monday 22nd December inc.

All the autumn feels are upon us. Open all weekend. Some hearty specials such as hot honey baked Camembert. Home-made cheese onion and potato pastry puffins.
