Please note that to allow the staff some R&R, no food will be served on Tuesdays and Wednesdays during this period although the bar will be open as shown and crisps and nuts will be available!
Best wishes for 2026 to all from Dave and the Coach House Team.
Well done, Maggie! Another mention in the Sunday Times, this time on 14 December:
Around fifty members of the Rosedale Show Committee, their families and friends and Show staff attended the annual Show Supper held in the Coach House inn on Friday 14 November.
Sam Dring, the Chair of the organising Committee, said that the 2025 had been very successful, with many favourable comments having been received from those attending the Show. Entries for most classes had been the highest or near highest on record, all due to the hard work of the Committee over the preceding year and to the many volunteers helping out on the day. Work had already stated for the 2026 Show and she asked if anyone should want to volunteer to join the Committee as there was one vacancy or help out again on the day, to contact any member of the Committee.
The Chair also thanked Dave Oakey and his team at the Coach House for their hard work in setting and running the supper.
The coffee morning in the Coach House Inn on Saturday 6 September from 10.00 to 12.00am will be in aid of the Rosedale Church Appeal.
There will be a cake and produce sale as well as the ever popular raffle, along with good coffee and company so Dave and the team at the Coach House look forward to welcoming you.
After a slight delay, the much anticipated re-opening of the Graze on The Green Tearoom has happened today in Rosedale Abbey, with Sam and Andrea in charge:
The tearoom will open from Wednesday to Sunday, between 9.30am and 4.00pm, for teas, coffees, cakes and sandwiches to eat in and take out, as well as breakfast and lunch menus. For bookings and enquiries contact grazeonthegreen1@gmail.com .
So, a hearty Rosedale welcome and best wishes to the new team in GoG!
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.
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.
Calling all Rosedale residents, past & present.
