We are really excited to have Joely June playing for our guests on 15th November after the meal from .pirathapan 🍽️

Joely’s music belongs in the modern folk world, breathing fresh air into the genre. Her passion lies at the core of honest and meaningful songwriting, telling a powerful story with each song.

‘You’ve got [the] gift of going after the beauty that’s concealed under the facts; and goddammit, that’s all there is to art.’

Deems Taylor to F. Scott Fitzgerald, 1925

Absolutely love this quote and the feelings it’s brings up when thinking about how the chefs and artists move us with their craft. How special it is to be sharing their beautiful stories of the ordinary through heartfelt lyrics and delicious, personal dishes.

‘We believe that creating a sustainable society is about weaving change into people’s day to day lives. What we do is accessible and affordable to local people, which makes it an easier choice for people to make. At RCG we are striving to find a balance of using products, materials and processes which are ethical, sustainable, affordable, healthy and local. That is a long list of desires and sometimes we need to compromise but it’s a great starting point!

When it comes to produce, we are finding this balance can be achieved through growing our own and either simply selling it straight out of the ground, or in a soup or chilli. Our shop sells our fruit and vegetables which is grown on site as well as other food products, such as honey made from our resident bees. We also operate a non-single use plastic approach and customers are encouraged to BYO or invest in a bag for life (or just carry it!)

We are a supporter of the closed loop (or circular economy) approach – our coffee cups and other tableware are compostable. Some of our customers love this as it fits well with their life choices, other don’t even notice and are only interested in a great (ethical) cup of coffee, but the outcome is the same.
Education is key to successfully meeting the aims that are central to RCG. We have over 150 children visit weekly from local pre-schools and schools, who love to get involved in growing and harvesting and learning about how, where and when things grow.

Running the Garden can be challenging. However, we are constantly overwhelmed by support from our community and details of what coming to RCG means to them, whether it’s allowing a frazzled parent to have a cuppa, volunteers who have found a home for their skills or learnt a new one or simply visitors wondering around the veg’.

“Don’t run away or give up on the things you want to change!”

What set Dareshack apart was the extra mile taken to include additional festive decorations, showcasing a level of commitment that truly made the night special. We highly recommend that you book your next event with Dareshack if you’re looking for top-notch event planning!”
