This is what we need.. last week we had the pleasure of cooking for and their school group campers..

The clever Daniel and Jude from Sweethill knocked this up to use as a stage for their evenings of entertainment over the summer but it doubled up as a paella base too..

We would have really struggled to cook in the cold wind that night but it was snug and cosy and cooked like a dream in here!!

The weather forecast is definitely not on our side this Thursday and has just got worse as the weeks gone on! 😫😩

We’re so sorry and disappointed but we won’t be able to go ahead with paella at Quiddles this evening.. Thursday 30th May.

As some of you know we really struggle to cook on our gas burners in windy conditions so we just can’t take the risk.

We are so sorry for the inconvenience and we hope you’ll be able to join us another time or move you booking to next week.

Quiddles will be open for brekkie and lunch though so give them a visit if you can.

And please make use of the other food vendors in Victoria Square this evening.. Portland Pizza are open for their first night back this season and Chesil Chippie are fab for take away too!

Many thanks as always for your support.. 🥘🥰

We are taking bookings for this Thursday and although we’re full for chicken and chorizo we have plenty of seafood or veg on offer..

As always, it will completely depend on the weather as we do struggle with windy conditions..

We’ll be keeping a close eye on the forecast so will keep you posted closer to the time.. 🥘🥰
