A wee throwback story! Interesting fact about business plans, they often don’t go to plan 🤣
Originally our move into the deli/chip shop was actually scheduled for 2027 so in 2025 we took to renovating & successfully gaining planning permission for our ‘back up’ plan to tie us over 2026 which was going to be this little porch area downstairs from our catering kitchen and office converted into a wee coffee nook selling speciality barista coffee, pastries & bakes😍 we were pretty much ready to go!
Not very glam is it? No bigger than the horsebox actually 🤣 luckily for us plans changed early! We jumped at the opportunity to take the leap ready for season 2026 in the big takeaway! 😍
And now our little porch next door just houses deliveries, storage and our Tattie rumbler & chipper, not so glam🙈🤣 🥔 but so functional and essential to the business to have things on hand before having to sprint up 18 steps to our catering kitchens every 5 mins!🏃♂️🤣🙏🏼

Anyway, the real show stopper in all of this was our custom made worktop counter, Chris Pritchard from Arisaig took every detail I wanted to fit this space, how deep the shelves were to be, how the counter was to be high for a vast work space, strong enough to hold a 60kg coffee machine and the fact it had to be on wheels so originally we could move it into the new space the following year😍 highly recommend, thank you Chris!
Im learning to like it when things don’t seem to go to plan, it’s all just adding to the story 🥰
