✨ What a Weekend! ✨

We’ve just wrapped up our first launch weekend after reopening the restaurant with our brand‑new look and menu — and what a brilliant few days it’s been.

A huge thank you to everyone who dined with us and showed us so much support. Seeing familiar faces return and new ones join us made all the hard work worthwhile. Your feedback, your patience, and your enthusiasm have meant the world to our whole team.

Progress is a beautiful thing! We know we aren’t quite at the finish line yet, so we’re already busy cooking up some upgrades to make your future visits even smoother. Your feedback drives everything we do, and we’re on a mission to make sure every experience with us is top-notch. As with your feedback driving change, we'd also like to ask for any photos 📷 that you may have taken while dining with us this weekend, we'll add them to ours to create our opening weekend journal.

Here’s to an exciting new chapter — and many more great weekends to come. ❤️

🍽️ A Fresh New Chapter at Papa Rab’s 🍽️

After weeks of hard work behind the scenes, we’re delighted to share that our restaurant has undergone a full refresh — and we can’t wait for you to experience it.

Our team has been busy sanding back the wooden floors, painting inside and out, and adding beautiful new lighting touches to bring even more warmth and character to the space. Most exciting of all, our kitchen has been completely upgraded to include a brand‑new charcoal grill, opening the door to deeper flavours and a menu that feels truly special.

We’ve crafted this new menu in collaboration with renowned local chef John Henry (formerly of Henry's Bay House) along with our own Papa Rabs chefs, whose expertise and creativity have helped us shape dishes that celebrate quality, freshness, and the heart of our community.

✨ Bookings are now available for our reopening day on Saturday 16th May. We’d love to welcome you in to see the transformation, taste what we’ve been working on, and share this new chapter with as many familiar — and new — faces as possible.

To reserve your table contact us on 01776 700766. We can’t wait to welcome you.
