📢 Venue Update 📢

Due to the unexpected closure of The Nelson Tavern, I have had to move two upcoming sessions to a new venue.

✨ Speed Sketching on 8th June
✨ Tiny Treasures Father's Day session on 19th June

Both sessions will now be taking place at The Bear of Burton.

I'm very grateful to The Bear of Burton for accommodating us at short notice, and I'm looking forward to welcoming everyone there. The venue details have now been updated on the booking system and Facebook events.

If you have already booked, please check the updated event information. If you have any questions, please feel free to message me.

Sneak peak - This is what it looks like least three times a day, everyday after busy services. Every piece of cutlery is washed and then hand polished ready for the next guest🍴✨🐻🤗

It’s been hot and busy this past week and appreciate everyone’s patience as the team worked tirelessly out front serving and back of house in the kitchen and housekeeping too👏🏻

They have worked hard to ensure you had a great time, and endeavoured to still have a laugh and smile on their face even if they felt like they were melting in the heat 😳

Today sees our first fresh fish delivery again post bank holiday and tomorrow the kitchen gets a very LARGE drinks, vegetable and meat delivery to keep you fed and watered over the weekend ahead 😋
