We are back to work! (Arthur and I).

I teach online using or . I teach mostly children but I have adult students too of all abilities.

I help my students find their unique styles and strengths, and I teach each student differently depending on their needs. I love to help bring out people's confidence.

Your first lesson will be free.

Book in with me today and see how it makes you feel ❤

I can teach you wherever you are, anywhere in the world! 🌎

Hi everyone!

We have had to come to a difficult decision recently; that being the closure of our beloved Django's.

To be quite frank, the covid battle and the birth of our first child Arthur has made us think about what we really want. We would like to be at home with our son and don't want the hectic lifestyle that owning a restaurant brings any longer.

We have loved creating Django's and we thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for contributing to the magical atmosphere Django's had. We are very proud of what we achieved in the last 3 seasons. We won gold in the best newcomer category in the 2020 Red Funnel business awards, our amazing write ups and articles in VeganLiving magazine, our great review from Matt and Cat's Isle of Wight Eating Out Guide , turning the old tea room into a brilliant jazz bar with our refurbishment and gaining our alcohol licence, and many more amazing achievements along the way.

We were going to have a few last events but unfortunately there is a wasp nest above the kitchen which needs professional attention and we have been advised to close for a couple of weeks.

We may be back in a while to do some pop up jazz and tapas events across the island . Please do sign up to our mailing list by visiting our website www.djangostapas.co.uk and you will be the first to know when we decide when these events may be!

Thank you. Very much.

The Isle of Wight has some amazing vegan businesses now. Please do support Tansy's Pantry, Peach, The Bay, Craft and our wonderful live music venues Strings Bar & Venue - Isle Of Wight
Monkton Arts, Quay Arts and many more.

See you soon and please keep it touch!

Love Aidan, Poppy and Arthur. X###

We've some great music coming up next week. Paul Armfield and Jc Grimshaw are joining us on Friday 20th, performing together for the first time as a duo since their legendary Monday nights at the Wight Mouse in the late nineties, we hope to see some of the spontaneous magic that made those nights such a joy. With a now substantial back catalogue of their own songs to draw from as well as the occasional random cover, who knows what might happen? Tickets include West African sweet potato maafe. Then on Sunday 22nd we have another brunch with Gary Plumley saxophonist and Nickpagejazzguitar, where we will be serving savoury basil and oregano pesto and sun blush tomato breakfast muffins with watercress and rocket salad. Can't wait for either event, come and join us for some great live music.

Cannot wait to finally reopen Django's. It’ll almost certainly only be Aidan there as I will be heavily pregnant or have a newborn baby to look after at home. I hope this year is a positive one for small businesses everywhere. So excited for some jazz and tapas events in the courtyard this summer. How I miss my music friends, work friends and customers. Good luck to us all 🙂 ###x

Our new menu for 2020 is here now! We'll be open and serving from February 14th. Book now for Valentine's - still a couple of tables left.
