Up, up and away
Very exciting to be able to serve up our food to people at last. OK, so they were friends and they didn’t have to pay, but still, I think we did a very good job. I was completely hyper two hours before the guests arrived, like a small child at Christmas. I just bounced around in circles.
After the excitement, I got really nervous, I’d invited so many people, I couldn’t possibly be a decent host to all of them. Then I kept wondering whether the service was sharp enough, then I got anxious that they wouldn’t like the food. I shouldn’t have worried, everybody thought the place was wonderful.
We’ve got friends coming all weekend and where am I? Buried underneath an arctic snowdrift on the Kent coast. We officially open on Tuesday, I can’t wait to get back down there and play. I love having a place I can call mine, or at least ours.
Very much look forward to meeting all our new customers, my advice if you’re planning a visit, sample the treacle tart!

As one bald ex-greengrocer to another Gregg, I sympathise with feeling about the produce, I remember hand-picking sprouts at Hesketh Bank and dressing cabbages with a fruiterer’s hammer because they were frozen solid.
I can’t wait to sample the treacle tart, see you first week in Feb!
