We're really excited to announce that our tea room has now reopened with its lovely new owners Jill & Ian. They will be baking daily at The SHED so please come along, say hi and enjoy their wares - have lunch or just tea and cake; afternoon teas available on booking. 

​

Our picture shows delicious jacket potato, coronation chicken, coleslaw and salad for only £4! Lots of other fillings available, and lots of other delights to choose from.

​

Tea at The SHED open daily, 10-4.30 - Jill and Ian can't wait to meet you. Take a look around and grab some refreshment whilst you make up your mind on how much treasure you take home!

Tea at the SHED is temporarily closing from 29th September as our amazing chef, Simon, has decided to follow other avenues. We know you'll join us in wishing him luck and thanks for offering the most delicious food and drinks.

​

We are sad to see Simon go but, as with every change, this opens up a new opportunity for someone to take over our tea room. We're happy for you to put your proposal to us - we're not expecting to replicate Simon' offer; we know that there are other styles of food and drinks and we'd love to hear your ideas. We know, from our experience, that you would need to offer both vegan and gluten free food to our customers; other than that stipulation, ideas can be as conservative or as exciting as you like. We are also open to proposals that include general tea room scenarios, private parties and functions too.

​

Anyone wishing to chat about the possibility of following in Simon's footsteps and creating their very own tearoom, please give us a call

We are absolutely delighted to be able to add yet another string to our bow here at The SHED. So far, apart from our core offering of the best selection of antiques, vintage, garden ware, crafts and old, stripped pine, we've also added:

​

• The best tea room for miles

• PAT testing

• Repair and renovation

• Upholstery

​

We're now pleased ​to bring you our latest service: Black Dog Picture Framing. Led by Helen, our picture framing service offers a bespoke picture framing service for all of your art work, photography or crafts. 

​

Nip in and talk to us, give us a call on 01473 748519, or bring in your piece of art and we can discuss how best to meet your needs.

We've listened to you and we've extended our services even further:

• We're trialling selling some of our treasures online (via an eBay shop)

• We're offering an upholstery service - Black Dog Upholstery has launched

• In our own workshop we can now offer repair, renovation, painting and restoration

• We're also now making bespoke pieces of furniture from reclaimed materials

Adding further strings to our bow, there are now even more reasons for you to visit, peruse and chat about our treasures and services whilst you take a spot of lunch or afternoon tea - see you soon!​

We're over the moon to have reached our first anniversary on 27th February - we've loved our first year. To mark the occasion, we'll be opening until 8pm on Friday 3rd March and sharing a few nibbles and cakes with you. We'd love to welcome you, whether it's your first visit, or whether we've met you before - come on over and join our celebration.

​

For those of you unable to make Friday evening, please join us during our usual opening hours at the weekend (Saturday March 4th, Sunday March 5th), and grab some birthday cake when you have a cuppa / some lunch in our tearoom.

​

Please see our blog and keep an eye out on social media - we'll be launching a competition with a fabulous prize for one lucky winner - birthdays are all about presents aren't they?!
