Haven't been on RR for a while, but just read up on this thread, and I have to say - well done mate, very well done Hope all goes well for you, and I hear you do Vegan stuff too, so I'll recommend to my friends Can I ask if the phone number on the shop front (01287623777) is right though, as a search brings up only this builders yard... Harrison Building Contractors, 24 Eden St, Saltburn, TS12 1JZ, 01287623777. The phone number is correct, although we have it unplugged at present as we were initially inundated with calls from utilities broker companies etc, and to be honest, as it's been so busy, and we're flying about, the last thing you need is the phone to be blaring out, only to pick it up for it to be ANOTHER sales call.

Love the 940. Looks awesome in white. As usual, when I'm not in the market for another car, stuff I like keeps cropping up. I think my next purchase, whenever that might be, could be a boxy Volvo. The 100 Avant looks cool too jerrytug

In a year or so, I'll be after something like this. Shame I'm not in the market now.
Lovely example. Stunning.

That looks great Dan, hats off to you. You've done an amazing job. Would be great to see it in the flesh at some point.

As you know, I do like a big old wafty barge. That would look great with the sunroof seal and interior sorted, then a good old exterior detail. Lovely colour, and I love the dash. Wish I had the space for it, and the time to spend on it. Bad timing I guess.

Wow, that's lovely.
An E34 is on my list, but just the wrong time for me I guess.

Sorry I missed you today optimusprime, I had to do some training and other stuff, so had a couple of hours at home. Really pleased you enjoyed the tea and scotch egg, and I hope you have a safe journey back home. Hopefully I'll be there next time.

Seeing as me and mrs Prime are in Northumberland this weekend and i’m being dragged to see her mate on the way back,(Boldon area) i think a visit to your establishment is in order as its on the way home .... so tea,builders style in a pint mug please! Will be good to see you, if I'm there. I'm hoping to get a few hours off tomorrow afternoon. Today was meant to be my first day off since we opened, but it didn't happen as we had our busiest day yet. No big mugs, but the tea can be strong if you ask for it strong.

Just thought I'd pop in to see how my favourite tea shop is doing. Obviously very well. Very pleased for you! Thanks my good man!

The patisserie fridge as it started the day today..... Certainly didn't look like that by the end of the day (no pic, sorry). It ended up pretty much empty LOL

I read through this entire thread last night on a quiet night shift and I'd just like to offer my congratulations on making this work and wish you every success for the future. I spent many a childhood holiday in the Saltburn/Whitby/Runswick area and it's a gorgeous part of the country. Thanks for sharing this it's been very inspirational. 👍🏻 Thank you, that's much appreciated.

I can certainly recommend the place - visited today with a couple of friends and FurrySE in tow, and very impressed we were! Coffee is spot on and the cakes went down well - being a savoury man, I could eat the paninis all day long. Especially the chorizo...! Also seems to be popular... When we first arrived it was standing room only! Wow, thanks for the kind words shampooefficient It was great to meet you and your friends today. I'm really sorry I couldn't chat for longer, but as you say, we were really busy. You guys are welcome back any time!!

Another pleasingly busy day. Full on, yes. Tiring, yes, but fulfilling without a doubt. So nice to hear the positive comments, see all the five star reviews on Facebook, and see people coming back already, even on day 2.
We took over £100 more than we did yesterday, although it felt less fraught in a strange way.

MrsSE and I will be popping up on Sunday, with at least a couple of pals in tow... Brace yourself! Glad it has been busy - the Gazette article influence perhaps? Nice one, will be good to put a face to the name. I think! I've been quite surprised at how many people have seen and mentioned the article in the Gazette. I thought Facebook was everything these days, but perhaps I was wrong.

Wow. What a day.
I opened the doors at 8am, then nobody came in until after 9am LOL. Honestly. Calm before the storm or what though. Never stopped all day. Overcame first day issues like the card machine going offline and having to call an engineer, then the panini maker went off when we were doing our second panini, and realised it was the four way socket on the wall tripping out which was the issue.
I was shaking at one point with the adrenaline of keeping on top of things, but we got through it and the takings were a real surprise.
We have staff issues though. In terms of numbers of bodies. We think it's just going to be way more busy than we originally forecast, judging from the feedback today. I guess we have always been in the mindset of the original idea of that tiny premises in Great Ayton, where I could have probably coped on my own most of the time as there would have been maybe six tables, and all visible from the counter. This could be a whole different beast. I've taken on one lady, who was with us all day today, even though she had only planned to be in a couple of hours! I think we'll need at least another two to work maybe part time. Another bridge to cross.
