Oh yes we are!!

Recovery day yesterday was very much appreciated & now we are revved up and ready to feed you again........(slightly reduced hours for this week) OPEN TODAY & TOMORROW 10am-4pm with lots of yummy restorative dishes on the menu.. Happy Happy New Year.

Start as you mean to go on with one of our fresh pressed juices at Picnic. Freshly pressed orange juice, apple juice or go crazy & do half & half. Fabulously fresh, proper pure juice. OPEN TODAY until 4pm.

When the kids get involved it’s less of a “bus mans holiday” & more of a “living my best life” moment.

Picnic will be closed today between 1pm &3pm to allow our staff to attend the funeral of Michael Heron, friend, husband, father and definitely one of the good guys. Our hearts go out to Ramona, Charles, Barbara, Sarah & the Heron family. Too soon, way too soon.

All sorts of yum to sit in or take home. Smoked salmon, chilli & sunblush tomato filos, Ratatouille, veggie soups & our own hot & smokey baked beans. Open today until 5pm.

We are here still, offering Picnic to go with just a few sit in seats to accommodate social distancing. The tent is open with more space & we are continuing our increased sanitising. Please buy while we are here. Take away, freezer fillers or food for neighbours.

This morning at Picnic.....and yes we did ask for Kitty’s proof of age!

We’ve just taken delivery of 2 of my favourite things on the Dufferin menu for you to take home. Dufferin’s famous Seafood Chowder & their delicious Buttermilk Chicken Goujons. Re-heat & eat your favourite pub grub at home. While stock lasts. We are open today until 5pm.

Yep.....I really have to re-think our signage! Suggestions welcome. Open from NOW until........who knows. Doing mostly take away & great freezer fillers. Call us on 028 44828525

We are keeping our distance but we are keeping going.......for now. Xx Fresh scones, croissants & cakes all wrapped up & ready to go. We are still making, baking & creating as much as possible including Gluten Free, Vegan & our very popular Friands. Open today until 5pm.

And that’s all folks. Dufferin closed and Picnic can only do take away until we run out of sanitiser or stock (you should see my kitchen.....could take a while) Hold tight folks but not to each other. Open 9am tomorrow for as much take away as wee Tracy & I can muster.

Aghhhh. So after weighing up our options we have decided that the risk of spreading this terrible virus by encouraging people to come out is too great & therefore won’t be reopening . Stay safe peeps. We will see you on the flip side when we can all Picnic together again. Xx

Happy UK MOTHERS DAY to all of you weird, whacky, wild woman out there who make a child feel special, loved, whole. She still takes my hand when I need her, she has it now. X
