We've had a frantic (and franticly fun) few weeks...
...As more people have discovered our little place we've had to really graft to keep up. Having said that, we're not standing still. In amongst welcoming many great customers, BBC's Food and Drink programme, a light sprinkling of celebs (you wouldn't expect us to name names), and a team trip to the Ginstitute at London's Portobello Star - we've been planning some tweaks to the food and drink menu, are about to pimp the area on the first floor, and FINALLY, have been able to make plans to sort those toilets out now that the managing agents have arranged to repair the roof.
We were very pleased to discover that Northampton's Mr Ice Cream, Aldo Gallone, had paid us a visit, sampled our home-made baked alaska and has given it his seal of approval. He thought that the use of Gallone's excellent rum and raisin was the making of the dish - but we already knew that! He did also tell us that our vanilla ice cream was a bit short of the mark - and as he knows more than any of us about ice cream, it's time for a change.
About that Diva. Several people have mentioned that we seem to have an all-male employment policy. Not so - but we would certainly love to hear from anyone who thinks that they could add some extra sparkle to our handsome team.
That's enough for now. Time to get back on it...
