We’ve been busy behind the scenes over the last few weeks, and we’re delighted to tell you that we will soon be opening a second shop in Troon!

We’ve got plenty of work ahead of us, but first we need to find some brilliant people to join us. And we’d love your help in finding them.

We’re recruiting for several positions, including baristas and deli/retail shop assistants.

We’re looking for friendly, capable, hardworking people who enjoy good food, good coffee and looking after customers. Experience is welcome, but enthusiasm and a willingness to learn are just as important.

If that sounds like you we’d love to hear from you.

Applications by email only, please, to:
[email protected]

When emailing, please tell us a little about yourself, any relevant experience, your availability and the type of role you think you’d be suited to at Idle Hands.

We’ll be in touch with shortlisted applicants to ask a few questions before arranging interviews over the next two weeks.

And if you know someone who would be brilliant at Idle Hands, please share this with them!

See you soon, Troon!

As a warm up to the main event of our annual “cheese Night”, we’re delighted to have been chosen by Speciality Food magazine and Clawson Farms as one of just 100 retailers taking part in Stilton Week.

From 16th–18th October, we’ll have the official bunting up, so join us throughout each day to sample some proper Stilton, try some rather good pairings and take home a few of our savouries given the Stilton treatment.
Come hungry!

“Came in for a few essentials.
Ended up leaving with:
a chocolate ginger bar for my husband,
caramel truffles for my friend,
a housewarming gift for my new neighbour,
chocolate hedgehogs for my niece,
chocolate sardines for my nephew,
and all the tinned fish for dad.”

See you Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

If only we had smell-o-vision.
Right now there’s a beautiful vanilla fragrance carrying through the air. By the time there’s warm amarena cherries, toasted almonds and cinnamon creeping in, it’ll almost be time to open the doors.

Saturday, so see you from 10am-4pm
