I always forget to take photos when doing buffets as I’m usually too busy and they’re mostly wrapped up by the time I’m finished! But this was just a small one for 15. I say small… there’s 14 platters there for 15 people (two of them are kids party platters which I went a bit overboard with so rather than the 1 grazing it should’ve been I ended up splitting the savoury and sweet!) I do think I need to portion control better!
When supporting small businesses, please remember that it isn’t just putting items on a platter….
*There’s a good couple of hours shopping for various ingredients which are invariably not all under the same roof! 🙄
*a solid day of baking/cooking the day before
*usually a good 3 hours putting it all together and baking on the day
*the cost of platters, serving dishes (which have doubled in price! we absorb these costs!)
*delivery - which we don’t charge for either if it’s local.
If I add it all up, it sometimes makes me wonder if it’s worth it….. BUT the lovely messages we receive afterwards say otherwise!
Please message the page if you have any buffet or afternoon tea requirements.

Anyone missing Christmas already? Well seeing as we’re doing some Christmas lunches this week (for some who missed out before Christmas) it meant only one thing….. a fresh batch of mince pies this morning!! So come get your first mince pie of 2022! 😋😋
What a beautiful sky captured by one of our neighbours above Chapter 2 first thing this morning! The smell of 🥓 and fresh ☕️ is gorgeous here now though!
We sold out of Xmas sweet cones and the snowmen/Penguin hot chocolate stirrers yesterday, so a last batch have now been made up for this year….. HURRY - JUST MONDAY LEFT TO PICK THEM UP!
just a few left now (including some of the gingerbread houses with chocs and just 2 of the beautiful ‘cold Brew coffee mason jars) so if you need anything, please pop in today or Monday as we MAY close on Tuesday seeing as the schools have kindly given us ZERO time at all to advise that contrary to their email that today will actually be the kids last day in school and NOT next Weds after all 🤷🏼♀️ so no pantos, no fun filled last few days of term….. but we’ll keep everyone informed!! But you could bring your little elves in for Cadburys hot chocs with all the trimmings I suppose!!!!
Roast Turkey not long out of the oven, so hot roast turkey, cranberry and stuffing baps are ready to go and we’ll be doing it all over again tomorrow!
We are loving our new more ‘modern’ Christmas Tree this year! Adorned with locally made Wooden Robin decorations and also gifts made here at Chapter 2 which are available to buy as lovely value for money Xmas gifts:-
🎁 Gingerbread houses with with either a scented candle or Christmas Chocs
🎁 Hot Choc stirrers with marshmallows
🎁 Snowman or Penguin white hot chocolate stirrer cones
🎁 Christmas chocolate sweet cones

Perfect for on your tree, Xmas Eve boxes, presents from the Elves, table presents, party favours - or just for yourself for a decadent Hot Choc Treat!!!
It’s been a while… but they’re back! Buttery Biscoff with triple chocolate. So good, that my youngest has ordered these from me for his birthday next week instead of a traditional ‘cake’. *Note: always trust a nearly 10yr olds judgement on cake!
OH. M. G! Look what’s back??? Sticky Choc orange cake...... everybody’s favourite! Thought we needed to see a return to the counter of this beauty seeing as so many of you were missing it!!! 🍫 🍊 😋😋😋.
Today’s special went down really well! Steak mince cooked in a deliciously sweet Asian sauce with teriyaki, hoisin, rice wine & soy (amongst other ingredients!) until it soaks up all the flavours. Garnished with green onions and sesame seeds. If this is your ‘thing’ pop a 👍 in the comments below and we may add it to our specials / ready meals options if we get enough response! 😊
Oh and whilst we’re on.... just need to let you all know that we are closed on Monday 2nd August as we are having a couple of days away. Normal service resumes 10am Tues morning!!
Opening with a black cherry Victoria sponge, biscoff cream brownies and all the other usual suspects! A variety of homemade soups as well..... spicy parsnip, leek and potato and a creamy celery and blue cheese! It was a lovely busy start to the week yesterday...... thank you for your continued local support - much appreciated 🤩
