What can we say to you that you don't already know about the fact that we are in Lockdown 2.0?
Well we can tell you that you simply can't keep a good Cafe like ours pinned down and once again we have worked our little Aprons off to present to you our alternative take away services for this time with fresh new menus to keep things just a little bit exciting for us and you!
When you have two very tenacious, stubborn business owners and a wonderful Chef with her team of wonderful staff, that is simply enough of a formula for us not to hide away in a pandemic corner. No, No, No- absolutely not!!!
We want to get to the other side of this not just to keep our business, but for Eve our wonderful Chef and for our team!
So here's what we are offering you this lockdown-

• Mondays - coffees/drinks only, from 8am-12 noon and a manned telephone to take your last minute orders for our ready meal deadline on Mondays at noon!
• Tuesdays to Saturdays 8am-12 noon -'Full English Lockdown' Takeaway boxed breakfasts, fresh coffees, teas, hot chocolates and cold drinks. You are welcome to ring in advance to save you waiting for us to cook it fresh for you.
• Saturday night takeaways- 6-8pm 'Doing Thyme' Our Restaurant standard hot takeaway meals at your service. You can even ring your order though in advance any time we are open and choose your prime collection time without facing a big queue or an engaged tone on the phone when you are starving!
• Homemade Ready Meals- Order before noon on a Monday for collection on Friday or Saturday mornings. Delicious freshly prepared weekly changing ready meals, as well as delicious cakes, pastries and preserves.
