Before you come
Do I need any experience?
None at all. Everything is weighed and laid out, and we pour the first jar with you.
When are the evenings?
Thursdays and Fridays from six to eight, all year round, and on Saturdays in December.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes. Tell us when you book and the supper will suit you. The candles contain no nut oils.
Can I give an evening as a present?
Yes. We post a card with a pressed leaf on it, and the guest chooses their own date.
How do I find the boathouse?
It is at the end of the lane past Hollow Mere farm. There is room for six cars, or it is ten minutes on foot from the bus stop.
Six places an evening
Evenings fill about three weeks ahead. Write and we will hold a place for you for two days.
