WE DID IT !!!!!

16/8/2021

We have some amazing, incredible and exciting information!!

Our crowdfunding campaign has been a success! so we will be beavering away over the next few months to get a swanky new, fit for purpose cooker installed and then also in the background setting up a new e commerce web site that will enable us to launch a mail order business from our cafe kitchen offering quality Dorset cream teas made in our kitchen and delivered in environmentally friendly packaging.

We will of course keep you fully updated with progress as we go along so you can see what’s happening!

I am so excited to get our creative heads on for this to knuckle down and produce a fairly unique and special offering from our new website when we launch! I have just today made a call to ‘Rational’ whom we plan to purchase the oven from to touch base and start the cogs turning!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of the 70 of you who took the time and effort to pledge or donate to our campaign. Your comments were so touching and encouraging, I have felt very overwhelmed and emotional reading them! I truly had no idea our little, humble cafe meant so much to so many!

Presently I am just waiting to hear from Crowdfunder as to when funds will be available but also if they provide me with a list of all the lovely names who made pledges so that I can then transfer them to a book which will be made available in our cafe so you can claim your pledges. That way we can keep tabs on it all and make sure no one is missed!

If you can just bear with me until I hear back from Crowdfunder, then I can get organised here and be ready for you all. I know some of you are very excited to start claiming your pledges!

Thankyou somehow does not seem adjective enough to show my appreciation to all of your help but it really is appreciated so, so much!!

I have always felt in business that you should keep driving forward and reinventing yourself and this past year certainly had us reinventing ourselves in the name of survival- but hey…. we are still here and about to drive forward hard once again!!

Just you all watch this space!!!
Speak soon
Margot and gang!!

Ps- Our Eve is very excited about the prospect of a brand new self cleaning, ultra efficient oven to play on!!!!

We are open for Outdoor & Indoor Breakfast, Brunch and Lunch Dining inside our café or outside in the courtyard under our two heated marquees
