Amen 🙏

Happy weekend everyone & remember…..

no matter what is thrown at you to try to put you down, cause upset, anxiety, hurt, etc etc …… words don’t mean s**t 🤗

Be true to yourself, stand up for what you believe in and even if your standing alone ♥️

For whatever reason there is a selected few who wish to try and dim my sparkle and cause me continuous upset even though I have constantly asked to be left alone. Today I was told “ I need to stop putting crap on my social media because it would come back and bite me hard “…. After my business partner posted a post of “ our exciting news “ which was in no way shape or form to upset anyone but only to update our wonderful customers/family/friends….

I have and will always back Chris the CEO of the veterans centre and I wish him nothing but amazing things because he is a genuine lovely man and has always spoken to me with the upmost respect, trusted me & only wants the best for everyone be it veterans or a community town which he isn’t from but respects…. To put any rumours to rest… the reason I have left the current building I built The Trenches Bistro, in has nothing to do with Chris, it was just simply because I felt it was time for me to move on to another venture…. As said in a previous post, we wish nothing but the best for the “ ration pack “ and I’m sure Terri & Anth Caygill will make it something special 👌 Terri is a great cook, great host & has previously had a few venues so plenty of experience & knowledge to serve the veterans & community 😁…. This is the first & last post I will be putting on regarding the past……. From now it is all about the future & i publicly be asked to be left alone ♥️

🚨 PSSSSSTTTTTT….. 👀🤫

We’ve got TWO meetings tomorrow and let’s just say… if these locations come off, The Trenches is about to make a serious comeback! 🔥🏢

We’re not talking about tiny portions served on plates bigger than the meal… 😂🍽️

We’re talking:

🥘 Proper hearty home-cooked food
🍔 Meals that’ll fill you up, not leave you searching for a drive-thru on the way home
🍹 Great drinks
😎 Great atmosphere
❤️ Food made with love, not just for Instagram

The kind of food your grandma would approve of… if she wasn’t too busy asking why you’re still single! 🤣

Some places give you three chips and call it a meal…

At The Trenches, we believe if you can still see the plate, we’ve not given you enough! 😂🍟

We’re coming back BIGGER 💥 BETTER 🚀 and serving home-cooked food so good it should come with a warning label! 🤤🔥

(Disclaimer: The food isn’t actually “to die for”… we’d much rather see you back for seconds! 😂)

Watch this space… because exciting things are happening behind the scenes! 👀

Who’s ready for proper comfort food, proper portions and proper craic? 👇😎

🚨 SOMETHING BIG IS COMING… 🚨

The Trenches is getting ready for a brand-new chapter, and trust us, it’s worth the wait. 🍔🔥🍷

📍 NEW LOCATION
🍽 SAME SENSATIONAL FOOD
😁 SAME BEAUTIFUL FACES
🍸 EXCITING NEW DRINKS MENU

For years you’ve supported us for our hearty homemade food, generous portions and warm welcome. Now we’re taking things to the next level.

We’re bringing everything you already love, alongside a brand-new drinks offering including beers, wines, spirits and cocktails. 🍺🥂🍹

Some people thought shutting one door would stop us…
Luckily for us, our customers know the difference between a building and the people who made it special. 😉❤️

As for the new tenants, we genuinely wish them all the best. They’ll soon learn that the secret ingredient was never the postcode. 😏

We’re working hard behind the scenes creating a bigger, better experience for everyone who’s been part of The Trenches journey.

The food will be bigger.
The atmosphere will be better.
And now, the drinks will finally be flowing too! 🍻

Keep an eye on our page over the coming weeks as we’ll be revealing our new location and opening date very soon.

👀 Watch this space…
The next chapter is about to be served.

As it’s already been announced & questions have started coming in I’ll now officially announce it on The Trenches page for all my amazing customers ♥️

We are currently closed and won’t be re opening in the current building we’ve spent 18 months in.

However 😉 I’m sure you’ll all agree this little lady can make something out of nothing and I’m ready to do it again 😍

I’ll keep this page open and keep you all updated as and when and in the meantime you’ll have to do with pictures of “ Fidgets adventures “ starting with this one when myself & friends ( one which is a lovely veterans whose spent many a weekend with us for support, laughs, food & coffee’s ) went to saltburn at the weekend…YES we were more than just a cafe & we will continue to be there for our community and build back up another safe space for ALL…

Big love to you all & see you again soon 😍
