We have re-jigged our shop layout just to confuse you all! We feel it flows better and opens the shop up so we hope you like it too 😊

New things are afoot so keep your eyes open especially in our new fridge!

Another note about produce, ours lasts longer and tastes better than supermarket produce, which means you can buy as much or as little as you need...which then means, less waste!

Good morning lovely customers 🤩

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who have braved the traffic lights & queues and supported us this week, it means so much as these roadworks have really affected our little business these past few weeks 😢 even our local family businesses that we support as we havent ordered as much off of them, so they have inadvertently been affected too!

We had no notification as a small family business about these roadworks and the upheaval it would cause, no heads up at all. These Utility Companies don't care who get damaged along the way so long as they get their job done and get paid at the end of the day...anyway enough of my moans, there are people in worse situations right now! So we just have to think 'onwards & upwards' and put life into perspective ❤️

On a great note The Squinty Baker has done a cheeky wee delivery of scones for you all 😋 and more goodies coming tomorrow morning in time for 'treat friday'!

We will have tubs of Strawberries with meringues & cream available after 11.30am this morning too 🍓🍓

Thank you again for popping in - you're all amazing!

Open today till 5pm
Friday 9.30am till 5pm
Saturday 12pm till 5pm
Sunday 1pm till 4pm

So Toby got some interesting fruit from the market...Rambutan

What Is Rambutan?

Rambutan is native to Southeast Asia, particularly the Malay-Indonesian region. It is cultivated in tropical climates, including Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. The fruit is round or oval and one to two inches in diameter. Its name comes from the Malay word "rambut," which translates to "hair," referring to the soft spikes (also known as spinterns) that cover its thick shell.

Nutritional Benefits:
Regarded as a superfood, antioxidant-rich rambutan is packed with vitamin C, fiber, and copper and boasts small amounts of phosphorus, potassium, iron, and manganese. It's thought to aid in digestion and bolster the immune system.

How to Peel Rambutan:
Whether you're enjoying it as a snack out of hand or using it in recipes, prepping a rambutan is a snap. "Rambutan is a pop-and-enjoy kind of fruit—no peeling required beyond the shell,” says Morales. Here's how our experts free the flesh from its skin:

Use a small knife to make a slit in the middle, not too deep.
Give it a gentle squeeze; it'll pop open with a burst of juice.
Alternatively, extract the flesh by twisting or prying the fruit open.

Try something new this weekend!!

Open tomorrow 9.30am - 5pm
Saturday 12pm - 5pm
Sunday 1pm - 4pm
