The latest message from our girl crush Mary Portas

The latest message from our girl crush Mary Portas and The Kindness Economy. I heard the phrase 'innovate not stagnate' from Tamla Motown. But Mary takes it to the next level.
We just love the bit "tapping into the cultural pulse". So we thought we would share it!

It is about ensuring what we do represents where we come from, celebrating our community, creating something special and unique locally.

Bravo and Good On You to every local business that is innovative and tries new things. The Kindness Economy supports courage in small businesses.

For The Kitchen Front, our community and the people in it are who we serve. We aim to tap into the cultural pulse!

Please join us on our continued journey of art workshops for all ages, hand made gifts, vintage inspired, 1940s parties and events. See you soon lovely people.

Thank you very much for this stunning drawing and

Thank you very much for this stunning drawing and your lovely words Rachel! 💖

“Dear Clair,
Thank you, for a lovely day immersed in the 1940’s. You are a fabulous creative and painting the ceramics was great fun.”

We are back tomorrow! Join us for Family sessions in the mornings, fabric block prints, or ceramic kitchenware and illustration workshops in the afternoon. 🍰

Our diary is staring to fill with private parties, please get in touch if you would like to book your party 🎈

We hope everyone has a gorgeous sunny week ☀️ see you soon!

Dads are the best. Your dad, my dad, uncles, broth

Dads are the best. Your dad, my dad, uncles, brothers, grandads. Where would we be without our dads?

My dad always told me 'To thine own self be true.' A quote from Shakespeare. His wise words have held me strong, even though we didn't get to keep him for long. He never got to see us get married, or meet his grandchildren, but when I look at my son, I know he would have connected with Billy so much and Billy would have loved him.

Time is so precious. The value of the fathers in our lives often underrated. Good dads can fix anything. They are an oak tree in your life, strong, stable and always there when you need them. Their protective branches to sheild you, their roots of knowledge and wisdom to guide you.

And the laughter. Dads never truly get old. They remain a naughty school boy with a fantastic sense of humour. My dad always had a twinkle in his bright blue eyes.

Celebrate your fathers today. You don't have them forever. They are a daughter's first love and a son's best friend.

Wishing you and all your dads a very happy Father's Day.

A hand made gift says it is made with love. It doe

A hand made gift says it is made with love. It does not have to be expensive either! Remember we are about people and community. We believe in the kindness economy, value for money, but our values are about you.

We have a wonderful choice of ceramic mugs, plates and bowls with your personal design or children's hand print or foot print makes a wonderful forever gift. Just £12.

No need to book, please just drop in and we will be here to help. Last session for gift making is Friday! (To collect Saturday after glazing and firing).

Affordable, Unique, Thoughtful.

Can't wait to see you all. ❤️

We are helping our lovely, mad, running friend, Fionagh Harding raise £5000 for The Royal British Legion by doing the London Marathon.

Pam from Sweet P chocolate in Bude has made this fabulous symbolic chocolate bar for us.

Dark and Milk Chocolate representing our mixed nations that make up the British Military today. The scattered Red Raspberry and Strawberry pieces are the poppies of Flanders Fields.

While it is presented in 1940s Ration wrapping, it reminds us that today our British Troops are very active in defending our nation, our freedom and safety.

We are selling it for £5.95 per bar.... or feel free to donate a bit more! Every penny will go to the RBL. (cash please folks). It is a limited edition. We hope to raise £300 towards Fionagh's marathon.

I can't run further than 200m Fionagh, but I can sell chocolate for you.

Thank you ever so much everyone. Your support is so valued.

This Platinum Jubilee will never happen again in o

This Platinum Jubilee will never happen again in our lifetime. Queen Elizabeth II has given selfless service to our country for 70 years. 70 years! That is longer than Queen Victoria!

Our Queen has been so loyal, hard working and committed to the national community. It cannot have been easy, to give up everything you want to be and to do. To be handed a huge responsibility and uphold those standards gor 70 years is incredible. I cannot begin to imagine the pressure, the stifling control of expectations and delivery, to not be able to be and do what your heart desires.

Did you know Queen Elizabeth II is the only head of state in the whole world to have served her country during WWII? She was a mechanical engineer in the ATS.

Happy Birthday Your Majesty. You have done so much for us all. ❤️

We are in no doubt of what a special occasion this

We are in no doubt of what a special occasion this Platinum Jubilee will be. Join us for a special couple of days where you can create your own Jubilee mug (we will help you!) followed by a spiffing vintage afternoon tea or Royal Cream Tea. It will surely be an extra special occasion.

🔸1 hour creativity session to make your own Jubilee Mug
🔶Live music from the fabulous Miss Elizabeth Hobbs on Friday 3rd June.
🔶Original Ration menu and cakes from the era, Artisan coffee and loose leaf tea.
🔶Special Royal Cream Tea option
🔶Be prepared to join in on the national anthem 🙂

We pride ourselves on the authenticity of the era with the atmosphere, the recipes, the music and all our staff are in period dress. It is a very special tearoom weekend that we look forward to sharing with you.

We are open from Monday-Saturday this week! 🎨

In our world, people and community underpins every

In our world, people and community underpins everything. It is about being part of something bigger.

The last couple of weeks we have been included in The Bude Sea Pool art extravaganza @budeseapool and the Bude Literary fest. I cannot begin to explain the feeling of belonging that has created. To be included, not ignored; To be invited, not forgotten; to feel valued, not worthless; to be part of something bigger, not struggle alone. It has been an incredibly inclusive and uplifting experience. It is important for everyone to be included. In fact, being a part of 'something' is good for your well being.

Massive Thank You to Bude Sea Pool and North Coast arts @northcoastarts for including us and so many others. Your events have been spectacular!

We promise to always put people and community first. To always be inclusive.
Always.

We are always greater as the sum of our parts. If you ever need anything, please ask. We are always here for you. Blimmin proud to be part of Bude! ❤️

We look forward in seeing you all over the next special couple of weeks. Take care everyone.

Our next History Talk is this Friday (27.5) at 2.3

Our next History Talk is this Friday (27.5) at 2.30pm!

Join us for a living history afternoon. Based on the memories of local people, we recount the narrative of wonderful stories about Bude between 1939-1954, the ration years. One of the unique things about Bude was that US troops came here to train on our beaches for the D-Day invasion, and everyone we interviewed recalled: “Oh, and when the Americans came!”. We deliver an entertaining history talk which is followed by a proper 1940s’ recipe afternoon tea. Yes, spam and sandwiches and cakes made from WWII recipes, which are really quite delicious. A very unique and interesting afternoon. 🧡

Please phone us 01288 350107 or send a text to 07866 677139!

Welcome to the updated Kitchen Rules! (first designed in 2012 for the last jubilee!) A couple of little tweaks with the national flowers that make up Great Britain.

We love it and hope that you will too. 👑

In fact, do you fancy a “Where There is Tea, There is Hope” tea pot? As always, we are a nation that makes a strong sweet cup of tea when there is a bit of a situation. All our items are hand painted and glazed and fired right here. If you would like to win a teapot made in Bude worth £49, please join in …. Because it is

LAMPSHADES!! Made right here!

How much do we love sewing as well as ceramic. Fabric is simply a fantastic material to create designs on. This lovely piece uses fabric paint and applique. 🥰

Assembled by the fabulous Jo... (who we would love to do lampshade workshops for you!) Many more hand sewn designs on the way. I got sew excited, I thought 'Dinosaurs next'! (See what I did there!) 😁

Look out for our Platinum Jubilee programme for next week. Very special commemorative creative packages.
