  • Work behind the scenes

    After much reading of government and catering association guidance, form printing, box ticking, risk assessment updating, more reading, folder completing and test taking we are Covid-19 safety trained

    Let’s hope that the guidance doesn’t all change soon and that, even better, our certificates are no longer necessary because everything is back to normal 🤞

  • Pop Up News!

    We are very happy to report back from our recent meeting with the Lettings Manager of the Jubilee Hall that together, we have worked out how we can safely host pop up dining nights once more in a Covid-secure way 👍💚
    We also arranged dates for the remainder of the year:
    Saturday 24 October (menu below)
    Saturday 21 November (Welsh & Irish themed menu)
    Saturday 19 December (festive menu 🎄)

    We will take bookings in advance only, without a deposit as normal, keep ourselves informed of the changing situation surrounding Covid-19 and, if necessary, cancel the pop up.  The price of the meal has increased slightly to help cover the increased cost of hiring the hall. The evening may also be cancelled if we don’t reach the minimum number required to make the evening viable

    Below is a summary of the new operating procedures: 
    – maximum 30 diners with a limit of 6 in any one booking
    – tables spaced at least 2 meters apart
    – table service only, no buffet counter
    – no self-serve hot or cold drinks counter, BYO option still stands
    – one person in the toilets at any time
    – face coverings to be worn at all times except when seated at your table
    – enter via the front door as usual, sanitize hands, fill in the Track & Trace form, maintain social distancing
    – exit by 10pm at the latest via the fire doors on the far side straight on to the car park
    If you have any questions about anything please ask.

    Here is our Winter Warmers menu for Saturday 24th October, please book by Wednesday 21st

    If you would like to reserve a table for October, November or December please get in touch
    We look forward to feeding you soon 😊

  • September News

    Good evening All

    Despite being able to hear the distant hum of traffic on the North Circular from our chosen campsite we had a very relaxing break and are back now raring to get cooking for you all again 😊👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

    This coming Thursday (3rd) we will be trading at the Harborough Farmers Market, 9am-3pm. The usual safety measures will be in place. If you fancy visiting please consider pre-ordering to guarantee we have your favourite items with us.
    We are also happy to announce another pop up day at the Harborough Eco Village on St Mary’s Road on Saturday 12 September, 9am-3pm-ish – again, pre-orders are welcome, even recommended.  There will be hot food options at both events

    For those who haven’t yet visited, the Eco Village is a great collection of small independent businesses with sustainability at heart. You will find fresh flowers, fruit and veg, and Refill Revolution where you can fill up on loads of household items using your own containers. There are outdoor tables and chairs so you can sit awhile to have a coffee or some vegan street food! It’s located on St Mary’s Road opposite the chip shop and is open Tuesday to Saturday

    Any orders made this week (by Tuesday evening latest please) can be collected from the Farmers Market although we can still deliver if required or preferred. Please scroll down for the menu and T&Cs
    If you have any questions please give us a shout.

    Hope you are all keeping safe and well 💚

  • Harborough Farmers Market returns this week (02/07/20) & other news

    We are happy to report that the farmers market returns to Harborough this Thursday. To comply with government guidance, Harborough Market will fence off the Square, limit the number of people allowed in and control entry so that the space does not become overcrowded, operate a one-in, one-out policy and have a hand sanitising station at the entrance. Contact-less card payments are preferred, as is pre-ordering where possible, to speed up transactions. The 2-metre rule will need to be observed whilst queuing, and shoppers will be gently encouraged to move on to make space for other shoppers to also get what they need. Touch points will be regularly cleaned.
    If you have any queries or would like further clarification please let us know.

    Our food delivery service is being put on hold for one week next week (9th) while we have a short break before Nathan returns to his other job. Normal service will be resumed from week commencing 13 July.

    Due to the Farmers Market, food orders for this week (2nd) are available for collection from the farmers market or by delivery only. No collections from our door please. The menu is posted below.

    We have contacted the Jubilee Hall regarding holding pop up dining nights there again and, the short answer is, it’s not possible until they have completed a risk assessment and have detailed plans and procedures in place to maintain the safety of all users. Watch this space!

    The end of June marks our 5th Veganniversary and we have celebrated by submitting our self assessment tax returns 7 months earlier than normal! How rock & roll of us!! 😂

    Stay safe All x

  • Coronavirus Update

    In these testing, unprecedented and frankly a little bit scary times we hope everyone is staying safe and well and at least 2m apart from everyone outside your household.
    We are sorry to report that events we were due to attend right up to the end of June have now all been cancelled and that includes our monthly pop up dining nights. It is our sincere hope that as many of these events as possible will be rearranged for such a time as they may be allowed to go ahead and that this be as soon as possible for all our sakes.
    With new found time on our hands we have decided to offer food for collection or for free home delivery, all contact-less of course. If this is something that would interest you please see our other posts for more information and the menu
    Stay safe everyone, let’s flatten that curve x

  • First Pop Up of 2020!

    This month we celebrate 13 years of quietly ‘popping up’ in Harborough with our many varied veggie & vegan menus!
