Aberlady Scone Café

The Aberlady Scone Café launched in September, thanks to the fantastic support of the Old Aberlady Inn, who generously provided complimentary tea, coffee and scones to our guests. The first morning was a huge success, with five wonderful volunteers in attendance to make folk feel welcome. We enjoyed the company of six guests, who all seemed to have a good time and chatted away with us and each other. Our local minister also joined us, having mentioned the gathering to the church congregation the previous Sunday.

The Old Aberlady Inn did an amazing job of creating a cosy, welcome atmosphere, providing tea, the very best coffee and delicious home-baked (and still warm!) scones, jam and cream – even encouraging us to take away the leftover scones and providing carry-out boxes for us to do so! And all at no charge whatsoever – we are so grateful to them.

Aberlady Scone Cafes are being held twice a month, alternating between the Old Aberlady Inn on the second Tuesday morning of the month (10 – 11.30am) and Duck’s on the fourth Thursday afternoon of the month (2 – 3.30pm). We will keep you posted as to our progress, but already this feels like a great way to connect members of our village community, so please feel free to spread the word!

Both venues are generously sponsoring the event, providing complimentary scones and refreshments to our participants. If anyone knows of anyone in Aberlady who might benefit from coming along, please contact Kathy Allan at kathyaberlady@btinternet.com.
