Artist Spotlight: Alistair Brookes 🐑✨

​We are shining a spotlight on these small ceramics by Alastair Brookes. His collection is incredibly charming, featuring everything from local sheep to bulls and even a moose!

​Because of the unique fire and smoke firing process he uses, each piece is full of individual character. It creates beautiful, unpredictable smoke patterns and textures across the clay that make every single creature completely unique.

​Swipe through the carousel to take a closer look at a few of them!

WALK OUTS
We would be grateful if the two people who dined with us on our balcony on Sunday 24/05/26, leaving at 2.11pm and not paying their bill would return to us and settle up, we are sure its just an innocent mistake. We do have very clear CCTV footage and know who you are but in the first instance we hope you will get in contact with us before we need to publish photos. If you email [email protected] we will provide details on how you can make payment.
You were both wearing white t-shirts and had glasses on. Male with grey hair and ordinary glasses, lady with white hair and sun glasses.

We aim to provide a lovely experience for everyone and take people on trust so it’s sad when things like this happen
