So it seems back to school means back to business too 💼 we’ve had lots of bookings and enquiries come flooding in which has left us with another fully booked week this week 🙌 plenty of space next week though if you’d like to get booked in!

Photo of another nice recent order, this time from Grace to take on a birthday canal boat trip ⚓️ picnic ahoy!

Unfortunately we are not there this year but the lovely people at The Wild Horse are standing in for us, so please go show them some Cobble love and support…how amazing do these cake look! 😋

A happy, colourful weekend out and about 🌻🌻🌻
Sundays beautiful post-wedding brunch - we rounded off Amber and Sues amazing wedding weekend with coffee, bacon butties, toasted cheese and tomato croissants and these amazing monster pastries from 🥐
Saturday Sarah and Anna did a cracking job at Gargrave Show selling mountains of cake and cappuccinos 😍 thank you to everyone that came to say hi! I think their ears are still ringing from the chainsaw demonstration next door (we’ll be able to laugh about it one day 😬🙉) Marcel coughed sawdust from his exhaust all the way home 🤣🤦‍♀️
Luckily he’s heading off to the garage tomorrow for his yearly fix of all the bits and bobs that need sorting to keep this nearly 70 year old van on the road! 🚐💛

16/08/2024

GARGRAVE SHOW tomorrow! Woohoo 🥳
It’s a great day out if you fancy something different, there’s ferret and terrier racing, vintage cars, horse fancy dress and everything you’d ever want from a proper Yorkshire day out!
Can’t wait! We will be open from 9 with the best coffees on the show ground! 🎪☕️☀️

A colourful bespoke picnic for Claire and family heading out on the Settle Carlisle steam railway today! Packaged in our smaller boxes to make them easier to transport, complete with compostable plates and cutlery ready for a grand day out 🚂🚂🚂 I bet these made the other passengers pretty jealous!!

Happy Yorkshire Day!
I remind myself daily how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful place. Rivers, canals and fields, sunsets, stiles and stepping stones. Whatever the season, it doesn’t disappoint! Its amazing to see its popularity grow and so many people visiting and enjoying our countryside at the moment, makes me even more proud to say I’m from here, born n bred!
If you’re not from here, have you visited? Or ever thought about visiting? 🌿🌿🌿

Did you know we grow all our own garnishes? 🌿 Those who’ve followed for a while know that I have always loved (attempting) to grow my own food, I find it so satisfying! Though none of it has made it to a Cobble plate yet 😂 but thankfully we’ve always got a huge supply of herbs which I use to garnish our boxes and platters. It’s my favourite job in the morning going to the garden and picking everything I need for the day.
I have to say the oregano has been the surprisingly easy thing to grow and survived all winter too. I think it’s prettiness is underrated. We’ve also had a great crop of strawberries and tomatoes this year! Whereas my figs and cherries got stolen by the birds 💔
Do you grow anything? Have you have any surprise successes this year?

29/07/2024

Always a pleasure to work at the beautiful , especially on a gorgeous sunny evening!
Safe to say the outdoor theatre was a huge success as always!

26/07/2024

Another busy week finished off with catering for the Tough Mudder crew as they set up for this weekends event. A job I’ve been doing for a few years now and always enjoy 😊 Pretty proud of this massive spread I whipped up this morning!

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments and messages on my last post! I was blown away, I honestly didn’t think anyone would care but it genuinely made me feel a lot better talking about it. I’ve obviously found my dog loving foodie people with you guys! ❤️
It was a sad start to the year but thankfully January is always our quietest time and I’ve been lucky enough to be able to take plenty of time to myself to rest and reset. I am a big fan of January for that reason, I made a decision many years ago to not get stressed about low sales and instead look forward to having time to do all those things you always wish you had time to do! So my home, workplace (and brain!) are clean, tidy and ready for the year ahead, new ideas and opportunities 🙌
Are you a January fan? I feel like social media is full of people starting mad gym routines and posting motivational quotes about seizing the new year…new year, new me…what if I’m happy as I am? What if you just want to lay low, watch afternoon sunsets and drink endless cups of tea?? ? Give me a cosy corner of a fire lit pub any day 😂 Anyone with me?
Are you team hustle or team hibernate?

Sorry for the radio silence, unfortunately at Christmas I lost my little sidekick, Frank and I’ve been a little bit heartbroken 😔 we knew he was ill and we gave him the best last month, but it hasn’t made the big hole he’s left in our lives any easier. I spend a lot of time working on my own but for 8 years I wasn’t lonely, as he was by my side, listening, watching, snoring! If my emails didn’t make sense it was usually because he’d come and rested his chops right on my laptop! He made us laugh every day. It has been hard but I am feeling better and remembering the good times, how lucky we were to have such a character in our lives. I am back and work and appreciative of all the orders everyone’s sent through, thank you, we are here ready for a busy and bright 2024 🐶✨

That’s a wrap on Christmas!! 🎁
12 days of marshmallows and merriment 😍
Apart from a heatwave 😂 we came up against nearly every extreme weather which threw up an insane amount of challenges, from -9 degrees, snow, heavy rain and Storm Pia to finish! But that is exactly why we love working outdoor events so much, no day is ever the same! Special thanks to Mum, Sarah and Anna were absolute superstars throughout!!
The team at Bolton Abbey are absolutely incredible and a joy to work alongside too, their relentless positivity and energy is definitely infectious! It’s such an honour to be even a small part of what makes this event so magical ✨
We hope everyone that visited enjoyed their experience and made some amazing memories with their little ones! It really was a pleasure to serve you all.
We’re all off to get tucked up warm, relax and be merry.
A very happy Christmas to you all!

My view (and festive breakfast of choice 😁) for the last 6 days. We are a hot chocolate, whipped cream, marshmallowy machine! 🚐 making mountains of treats for little ones after their visit to Santa, it’s been pure joy!
Can’t believe Christmas is in 4 days!!! How are you feeling?? 🎅🏼🎄☃️

17/12/2023

So the kitchen is closed but we’re not quite finished yet! We are down in the Christmas Village for the final week of Santas residency here, right up until the 22nd December 🙌
We have hot chocolates, festive coffees and mountains of marshmallows to toast on the fire 😍
This is a ticket only event but there are still slots available during the week right up til 4pm should you want to treat your little ones to an extra special after school treat!
