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.
The Wine and Cheese Night, also with a quiz and raffle, in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support in Abbey Stores on Friday evening was packed out. With a wide variety of delicious cheeses and copious glasses of wine to encourage them, those attending raised the marvellous sum of £660 for a very worthy cause
Hearty thanks to Nicola who organised the evening and to Craig and Helen for their stalwart support.
A reminder that the next Coffee Morning in the Coach House is on Saturday 2 November and will include the annual WI Craft Fair, so call in and take the excellent opportunity to start your Christmas shopping!

You will have noticed a lot of BT Openreach operatives and vans in the village recently – well, the good news is that fibre optic cables have been laid from the exchange at Lastingham through to Rosedale Abbey, with work ongoing to extend coverage through the village and up to Thorgill.
Once the contractors have completed the fibre cable laying, it is expected that customers will be able to connect to the network by late July/early August to receive up to 100mps broadband service. More details are being sought and will be published as soon as known.
