As most of you know, Sabal has been on the market for a while, and it has finally sold. It went unconditional a week ago and today the keys changed hands.
I’ve done the Irish goodbye and slipped out the back door without any fanfare. Partly because it was all up in the air until the last minute, and partly because I don’t like goodbyes.
But I couldn’t leave without saying thank you.
To my regulars: I’m really going to miss you. I’ve loved getting to know you, your kids, your dogs. Some of you I knew by your order long before I knew your name 😉 You turned my café into a community, and it’s what I’ll miss the most.
To the coeliac community: I know how few places there are for us to eat out, and I’m going to miss cooking for you. 😢 Some of you hadn’t eaten out in years, and seeing you relax at the table meant the world to me.
To all the staff over the last four years: thank you so, so much. You looked after the place like it was your own, and everyone who walked through the door could feel it. I’m so proud of what we built together, and there is no way I could have done it without you.
And to everyone who came in, whether it was once or every week (or three times a week... Heidi 👀): thank you for four years of letting me make wholesome food for you. It’s been such a pleasure and an honour.
There’s something new coming to the space, so keep an eye out.
See you around the Mount.
