Well hello there! 👋It’s been a while! First of all, we hope all our lovely customers & friends are safe & well in this strange new world. Secondly, we thought we owed you a little update...
After much consideration & having reviewed all the necessary measures, the very hard decision has been reached to keep our doors closed for the time being. No one is more sad about this than us but safety has to come first.
Thank you for ALL your support & the lovely messages we have received in recent weeks. We hope brighter skies are on the horizon☀️. Lots of love Jane, Domi & Dave xxx

I normally love writing our social media posts but this one...not so much. 😔
It feels totally surreal & unbelievably sad but we will be closing our doors today at 3pm.
We all know why but we just don’t know how long for...🤷‍♀️

We will be serving drinks & a very limited menu today & we would love to see you.

We have another little request to try & make this Friday feel just a tiny bit good....if you do pop in to see us today we would be SO grateful if you could bring a tin, a can or something we could pass on to the incredible people who run the Lymington food bank. In light of @emptybowls_newforest having to postpone their amazing soup week we want to do all we can to help when people are more in need than ever. ❤️🥣🥫
We’ll give you an extra brownie to say thanks...quite literally ‘brownie points’.

We will miss all our wonderful customers (not forgetting the four legged ones 🐾) but hopefully see you very soon. Take care & stay safe...Jane, Domi & Dave xxx

It is with great sadness that in light of the recent Government Covid-19 Directive that we have little choice but to cancel
Empty Bowls
Soup Week 23-29th March

Whilst many of the restaurants are happy to remain open, there is little point in running the event if we don't have enough punters to participate and most venues are in favour of postponement.
We have an idea to reschedule in the summer months, when hopefully mingling will be back on the agenda. We will be following the progress of current crisis and once we have an idea of change ahead, we can put a date in the diary and see how that will work with everyone.

In the meantime, I would like to thank you for following and all those involved for everything they have done so far, all the ceramic bowls will be stored safely. Organisers’ efforts and generosity of all involved will not be a wasted and we will rise out of this with a beautiful event when the time is right.
At the time of writing the food bank in Lymington has already noticed an upturn in demand due to the circumstances around Covid-19 crisis, and sadly this trend is set to last a little while, so feel sure that if you wanted to donate, they would be very happy to receive your help.

Thank you, stay safe & well 💙

We have decided not to do our usual evening event this week so instead, our chef Dave has been busy making up pies & quiches which we would like to give to those most in need.

If you know anyone elderly/in need in the local community who cannot easily get out to buy supplies we would love to send a care package their way. These can be picked up by a friend/relative or we can drop off. 🚚
In times like this we need to do what the British do best & pull together (from a distance) 😬
Please give us a call or drop us a message if you know someone who deserves a little extra love. ❤️

We understand that some of you would rather socially distance yourselves from us right now 😔. However....that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on your fix of Buttermilk chicken or Kedgeree. Most of our menu is available to takeaway. Just give us a call...📞
Please note, payment cannot be taken over the phone.

😷 C O R O N A U P D A T E 😷
To all our lovely customers...by no means are we making light of this situation by writing a poem (I just like writing poems 📝) but we wanted to reassure you that we are still open as usual for the foreseeable future.
We just ask that you take sensible precautions & don’t be offended if we don’t hug those we know & love on arrival.🙅‍♀️
Biodegradable coffee cups are available on request for those who would prefer that option & we would ask that you use contactless payment wherever possible!
See you tomorrow from 9am! ❤️
