A lovely start to the weekend the sun was shining and the coffees and cakes were flowing 😁🌞

Lovely surprise just as we were closing.
Jo Moseley the author of 'Stand-up Paddle boarding in the lake District ' stopped by to show me the finished book. She gave us a little mention which is fab and I'm very grateful 🤩

She stopped by last September on our first day of opening just as I was still figuring out my new adventure and mentioned she was writing a book and could she put us in the book as crummock water is very popular for Paddle boarding 😁

This is Pepper our goat resident at Rannerdale Farm alot of you might have bumped into him on your walks round the bluebells or even here at our catering box as he doesn't like to stay in the fields he like to jump out of them and make friends. Hes very friendly and welcomes a cuddle.

If you happen to have a dog lead on you and find him wondering and fancy a walk back to The Secret Valley Catering box you will be welcomed with a free hot drink ☕ he walks very well on leads 😂

Rannerdale Bluebells are out!🪻 Absolutely stunning walk just behind our farm. The Secret Valley Catering box is the perfect place to stop before or after the walk ☕ along with our popular Sausage and Bacon Rolls and mouth watering Steak burgers and halloumi burgers

There is Cinderdale and Rannerdale knotts carparks either side of the box as well as our car parking field in front of the box
