We are open for business
What a buzz, lots of people are coming in, drinking the wine and eating the food. I know that’s what they were supposed to do, but you never really know if anyone is going to do it. As the café dream becomes reality, you wonder if you’ve got it right. I shouldn’t have worried, it’s working fine. We’re a big happy team, we just don’t seem to have enough time now to sit down and celebrate.
I had a go at being a waiter on Friday, I’m not very skilful, but I think I made up for it with enthusiasm. I was so happy by the end of the night that I started giving away rhubarb panacottas.
Would you believe at about 8.30pm, when we were absolutely heaving and barely keeping control, Fay Maschler walked in. OMG that was the last thing I needed, still she got a table and she got some nice food, fingers crossed she liked it.
We still need to do a little bit of work, I think we can build a bigger display of veg. Terrible I know, but I can’t wait for spring to start, wait till you see our produce then.
Till then, I will be in for lunch or dinner throughout the week, if you fancy a chat, come and say hello. If you fancy a long chat, say hello holding a bottle.

Looks splendid – can’t wait to visit when I have a spare weekend! I thought Gregg was going to swallow the spoon as well!! LOL. Best of luck folks – great to see a well thought out concept coming together in these hard financial times.

So glad it’s going well there Gregg – hoping to get a chance to pop on a train into London soon to visit, bottle of anything in particular you’d prefer to see people holding?
All the best to you and everyone at Wallace & Co
