The Butcher is the Chef

Hi all,

Just a heads up for today, Antonio is manning the shop on his own as some of us are not well. Please be patient today he is seriously under the pump and was up helping me most of the night but he will do his absolute best.

Hi all,

Michelle here and I just wanted to let you know what’s been happening and how it may effect us.
Last Tuesday I was very clever and slipped over out the back bellyflopping hard onto the floor. I have broken a few ribs, torn cartilage in the ribcage and somehow done my rotator cuff. Yep! When I do something I do it well.
Obviously I can’t do much at present and am working from home.
What this means is that there are some items that Antonio and the team may not get out. It will be mainly all the pastry items as well as the salads. I am giving directions on how I do them but apart from time constraints there is also trying to train new staff members which can make it a little tricky to get these things done.
We are hoping to get these things done however your patience and understanding is much appreciated.

Hopefully I’ll be back on board soon but it will be a couple of weeks at least.

Thank you for all the well wishes that have been relayed to me diligently by Antonio. I really do appreciate it and am feeling the love. 🥰
