A (belated) Happy New Year!

We both got through the Christmas break unscathed, so 2026 has gone off to a much better start! We’d just like to say thank you for all your kindness, support, and understanding you showed us last year. We should be able to be open normally this year.

Wishing you all the best for 2026, hope to see you!

PS. Our phone line has now been fixed, our apologies if you’ve tried to contact us or leave a message over the past couple of weeks.
