The soup is going well and so are the omelettes which are a new addition to our menu. We have been hit by price increases several times this year and before Christmas were forced to increase the prices of some of our menu items. Then this week we have seen large increases in the price of our milk..We try very hard to make sure that our charges are reasonable and certainly we are far less expensive than the big chains but we also have to be realistic so there may be some increases to our drinks in the near future.

I was surprised to hear on the news this week that a large mocha, with extra cream in a well known coffee chain, has been estimated to contain 620 calories!!! Now who wants or needs that much in one drink. To say nothing of the price!! So come to us, we still serve an excellent product, be it coffee or tea, of many different styles and types but its' straightforward. No added secret ingredients, nothing but a quality drink at a reasonable price.  We always have a choice of standard, semi or skimmed milk so if you have a preference, all you have to do is ask! On the same type of theme, there has been publicity surrounding some food sellers who bulk out their fillings ie. Tuna or Chicken breast, with bread crumbs. We have never done that, nor will we. Straight forward food, honestly prepared and served. That's what we do and we are proud of it.  

Our daughter, Jennie returned safely to The States with our two grand-daughters, Emma and Ava, on the 7th January. Our house is so quiet without them!!! Ava was christened on 23rd December in Bunwell Church and it was a marvellous family occasion. We took the photo below.
