Just a little snap of happiness! The car park can be a very dull place, so we try and keep it as bright and beautiful as possible. We’re very happy these managed to survive the never ending sunshine.

We have been exhibiting the varied and inspiring work from Nicholas Kalinoski over the past few months, and “Evil Glamour” is definitely a favourite. Nicholas has had an amazing the career, including working in New York designing for Calvin Klein and Karl Lagerfeld before moving to Bridport. As we can see from his exhibition, his talents are not limited to Textile Design. Pop in and have a browse before our next local artist takes over.

We’re saying farewell to 3 of our Ollerod lads…
Our hearts are sad to say goodbye to these three wonderful faces after so many years watching them grow into the fabulous young men they are.

Mally, who has been with us for 4 years, is off to put his stamp on the world with an apprenticeship at Rolls Royce.
Freddie & Jacob, who have been here for over 3 years, are off to Uni.

You’ll still be seeing their lovely smiles on occasion when they’re home, but on the other side of the bar.

We wish you all the best 🫶🏼
