Its Soup Time!!! The weather calls for it!!!
------------------

A Whole Month

I can't believe it's been a whole month since we last blogged!! It's probably because we've been so busy with our new midweek hours and menu, which by the way have been going down a real treat. Lovely big open sandwiches, to put together just how you like seem to be doing the trick. We've also been going through a rather larger amount of cake and scones than previously so that's been keeping us busy too. Oh and we've also been trying to (finally) get our Branding and Sign sorted, which we are pleased to say is coming along splendidly. So much to do so little time! I wished for a 48 hr day last week but never got it! Hopefully we'll catch up with ourselves soon, but with winter very fast approaching, despite a a final weekend of summer last week, we thought we'd add a some hot food to the lunch menu, nothing complicated just good old harty soups and stews, so look out for those on a specials board starting next week! I think that's enough for now, we'll try and follow up pictures x

Afternoon Tea taster (for real this time)

Last week we reluctantly had to cancel our Afternoon tea/Lunch taster event because we were struck down by a bout of fluey nastiness. But we're now fully recovered, we've stocked up on berrocca (is that how it's spelled?) and we are ready to roll. 

Its Tea Time this Sunday 12 - 4 our taster Afternoon sampler is not to be missed!!!

Cheese and Herb Scones with tomato Relish

Delicious finger sandwiches you can eat in a bite 

Mini Quiche

 and of course our lovely cakes, scones and sweet treats

all washed down with Tea Tea and more Tea 

or ICE -T

£5 gets you a seat at the table, then you can help yourself!!!

Mrs Mcks Pudding Club goes EAST

Early Mornings, Lazy Afternoons....(for you not us)

So, in the absence of pudding club we've been busy getting our new mid week menu together....we're starting breakfast and lunches next week Tuesday...yes I said Tuesday we now only have one day a week away from all you lovely people......this tea room lark is addictive!!!

We decided that it wasn't nutritionally fair to only feed you cake, so we've added sandwiches and quiches and soup to the menu, you can either just come in for lunch or come in for a Lazy Afternoon Tea with finger sandwiches, savoury bites and of course cake, scones and tea.

We're doing a trial run taster this Sunday the 4th, £5 per head for a delicious selection of savoury and sweet treats, and your choice of tea or our special Ice - T!!!!  

I don't think you wanna miss this.

As for breakfast we'll have all our usual weekend favourites of Pancakes, Vanilla French Toast, and Poached Eggs, but we're adding few bits to get you through the week, Granola with Fruit and Yogurt and Porridge with delicious toppings to name a couple....oh and we'll be open a little earlier for those of you that don't do worms, 9 am to be precise. 

Cant wait to see you all there x x

Mrs Mck 

No Pudding Club again!

Sorry pudding lovers no pudding club again this week...

We're sorting it out so don't fret we'll be back again very very soon... 

You don't even want to know the red tape that we have to get through to make it happen how we want it to happen. Anyway won't bore you with the details. Keep checking back to see when we will be back!

Mrs Mck's Pudding Club

I know we've been a little slack when it comes to blogging these past few weeks but i promise in due time we will have some new wonderful recipes up courtesy of Mrs Mck... We're thinking cherry cheesecake and maybe steamed pineapple upside down pudding?? What do you reckon?

We have had a rather exciting week this week it all kicked off with a life changing experience when we both went to see Prince at Hop Farm festival. I mean dancing in a field with Prince with the purple sunset what a way to spend a Sunday. So we're sorry we were closed for the day but it was truly a necessary experience. 

But we're back and hard at work right now we're prepping for this weeks Pudding Club... Mrs Mck won't actually be in attendance this week as MPHO has a gig...

We've still got an exciting range of delectable delights to indulge in though....

On The Menu This Week (Thursday 6th)
