Yum.

Boom, and just like that we have a new menu! But this time round we are changing things up a bit, reintroducing some ol favourites, showcasing what's in abundance right now, and letting Robbie play around with a little bit of what he fancies on a day. So expect variations, but know that you can always rely on it being absolutely delicious!

A sneaky elevenses hidden away at Mill of Benholm Enterprise after a walk. A spot of poetry while the butter warms in the sun. Someone is hoping to share a bit of my scone.

Another happy book lover taking a moment to read on the harbour after visiting us as she waits for her boat (Gourdon Coastal Rowing Club) to come in.

And now I have that theme tune in my head! “Who shall have a fishy… “ 🎵

Looks like it’ll be a fine weekend for book browsing at Gourdon Harbour, Aberdeenshire. The Maggie Law Maritime Museum will be open , the Harbour Bar, Gourdon will be serving , the Quayside Gourdon will be frying… and the Gourdon Goodies fudge and tablet will be sweet to eat.
