GRAZE ON THE GREEN RE-OPENING!
For all of us suffering from gourmet gateaux deprivation since Darren and James closed down their business after ten hard working but profitable years in Rosedale, the very good news is that Sam and Andrea Miller are intending to re-open the bakery and tea room on Saturday 16 August, Show Day as it happens!
Sam, who hails from York, intends to open initially for teas, coffees and cakes before developing the business to reflect his widespread experience in hospitality which has included working in high end restaurants in Denmark, France, and Spain. So we welcome Sam, Andrea and their two children to Rosedale and wish them all the very best of luck for their new adventure here.

GRAZE ON THE GREEN CLOSURE
As posted on the door to the cafe, Darren and James have announced that they have sold the business and will be moving to Scotland shortly.
They have run the tea room with great skill over the last ten years, establishing a legendary reputation for their hospitality and the quality of their coffee and baking. We wish them the very best for their new life in the far North and look forward to welcoming Sam and Andrea to Rosedale in the near future.
