AND SO IT BEGAN…
May 2025 -
After receiving our building warrant, we got to work.
Determined and motivated by caffeine, we spent a few long hours cleaning the space and moving the old gravel away.
We also started preparing the indoor space for the upcoming works, this included removing old radiators, lighting and plasterboard… (we have funky sliding doors arriving soon!!)
BANKSY WHO?
below, is our gorgeous apprentice at work, this girl loves a doodle.
Shame this wall will soon be replaced with our fancy new sliding doors!
PIZZA? YES PLEASE!
This…
To this…
The new paved area will accommodate our Pizzeria container, where we will be serving top quality pizza from a wood fired oven, yum yum!
123 LIFT.. AND JUST LIKE THAT, WE HAVE A PIZZERIA!
We have perfected the position of our soon to be… pizzeria!
the new position of the container allows us to start work in other areas of the courtyard.
Progress…
Whilst taking our wall down to create space for our sliding doors, we found this funky oldish (1990) … pepsi can.
And just like that… we have had our lovely sliding doors fitted.
The large windows allow a lot of lovely natural light in to our cafe space making it bright and spacious.
Take a look at our outside view of our gorgeous doors.
Can you tell that we are in love with them?!
August 2025 -
The courtyard is now undergoing major groundworks to make sure we are able to have running water and pipework in all the right places.
October 2025
Ground work continues steadily, making use of some of our original stone to carefully construct a small, freshly laid wall. This new feature is designed to provide clear definition between the ‘top’ and ‘bottom’ outdoor areas. In addition, once we have thoughtfully added shrubs and trees around the space, the wall will help create a sense of privacy for the larger groups using the garden.
Making the most of a little autumn sunshine, we are carefully painting the steel beam and refreshing some of the exterior masonry. The doors will be neatly edged to ensure a perfect seal, and the drainage will be replaced with sleek black fittings. Soon, our exterior will be looking truly handsome and well-maintained.
