Do you want to back your favourite venue, help your high street and support local jobs? Then sign the petition to lower the rate of VAT for hospitality to 10%.

Our pubs, restaurants, cafes, hotels, nightclubs and many more, are at the heart of our communities.

They bring people together and bring life to our cities, towns and villages, but they're under huge pressure from rising costs.

In the UK, you pay one of the highest VAT rates in Europe. 20% extra in VAT for your pint, meal out or stay away. In France, Spain and Italy, it's 10%. In Germany? 7%.

Our message to Government is simple. Let's stand together to say VAT at 10% is fair for hospitality.

Our menu’s never been one to sit still — and as we move into summer, it’s feeling more fluid than ever.

Led by whatever’s growing, ready, and abundant, things might change a little more often around here.

Expect spontaneity, seasonal shifts, and flavours that follow the sun.

🌿 The Summer of Swapsies is back! 🌿

Got a glut of rhubarb? Courgettes going wild? Herbs taking over your windowsill?

Not green-fingered? What else have you got?

Artwork for the walls? Website wizardry? Tattoo skills? Dog walking? Content magic?

We’d love to trade — your extras, your skills, your ideas for our bread and baked goods.

DM us if you fancy a swap 🧡

Well… that was a good one 🧡

Thank you to everyone who came out, supported independents and helped make the town feel properly buzzy. It means more than you know to see our hard work pay off!

To our makers — thank you for bringing your beautiful things, your graft, and your good energy. You make the market what it is!

And to our volunteers — thank you for giving your time and helping everything run the way it does. It wouldn’t happen without you 🧡

Same again next month? ✨
