LATEST TEAROOM UPDATE (25th March 2024).

Wow, how is it Easter week?

Just a little update from the tearoom, excitingly our much loved Fish & Chips are back however served weekdays only (Wednesday to Friday) due to kitchen logistics, in turn we are now serving our Churros at the weekend only simply as we can only fit so many fryers in the kitchen whilst ensuring allergen safety, just in time for Good Friday, fingers crossed for dry weather!

Our Easter opening hours

Good Friday 9.30-4pm

Saturday 9.30-4pm

Easter Sunday 9.30-4pm

BH Monday 9.30-4pm

As always, unfortunately we don’t accept table reservations, just say hello at the porch & a member of my team will look after you.

We are dog friendly outside on the terrace and when we are busy please be patient with us as we will be working flat out to process orders as everything is made fresh to order.

Happy Easter, Hayley & team AMC x

LATEST TEAROOM UPDATE (4th March 2024).

Hope you are all well? Somehow we are in March and its Mothering Sunday week, I say week versus weekend as I know you guys like to treat your mum or female role model in your life throughout this week as everyone appreciates it a busy Sunday so you opt for an earlier treat.

You guys keep asking us for an afternoon tea however previously when we created it was during covid days when it was takeaway only so we had the entire tearoom space to create them & due to other tearoom demands as we are now serving multiple menus we can’t add a traditional afternoon tea however there is always a way to try and do something! We are serving an Open Sandwich plate (unfortunately just on the 10th March simply due to the logistics) of delicious homemade Open Sandwiches including Egg Mayonnaise, Smoked Salmon & Teriyaki Chicken with Beetroot Puree & Teriyaki Mayo plus some posh Sea Salted crisps, you have our entire drinks menus & loads of cake to choose from our cake menu so yes its a little DIY however I promise you its amazing….We have also found a way to create a dairy free alternative plate so we can cater for gluten free plus gluten free & dairy free, we have also created a new vegan sausage roll so fingers crossed we can cater for everyone? We will also be serving our much loved Pork Sausage Roll, Pork, Chorizo & Manchego Sausage Roll plus our Veggie Sausage Roll, all made by ourselves at the tearoom.

To have a peek at the sandwich plate please take a look at our social media pages.

We are receiving lots of enquires about table reservations & unfortunately as always its walk in’s only, simply to give fairness to everyone and then we don’t ask for the table back within a 2 hour window. For Saturday 9th & Sunday 10th March we will be opening our doors at 9am, simply to give the opportunity for an earlier breakfast or coffee for those who prefer a slightly quieter time?

See you soon, Hayley & team AMC x

LATEST TEAROOM UPDATE (14th February 2024).

As promised, here is the latest update regarding changes to AMC over this week.

LATEST TEAROOM UPDATE (19th April 2023).

I hope you are all keeping well? I just wanted to give a little update for anyone planning on visiting the tearoom this week. Outside the world of AMC we have stuff happening which means I may not be able to be at the tearoom to be chef which in turn affects hot food service and we will be having tea, coffee, cake and savoury snacks kinda days. At the moment its planned to be business as usual however this could change at any time so without going into the details or anyone asking what’s going on, I am just asking for you guys to check into my social media pages or website every now and then during the day before setting off to avoid disappointment.

Some things in life are much greater than AMC so please be kind x

LATEST TEAROOM UPDATE (17th March 2023).

Many thanks, Hayley x

LATEST TEAROOM UPDATE (27th February 2023).

I hope you are all keeping well? We had some very exciting news at the weekend, AMC by the Lake has been included in the Top Restaurants & Cafes in Nottinghamshire according to 7 foodies who eat out the most! Rachel from @glutenfreemoose gave us an amazing article as part of Nottinghamshire Live feature, fair to say it is one of my rare proud moments.

We are receiving lots of messages regarding table reservations especially for Mothering Sunday weekend, unfortunately we don’t accept reservations, it’s walk in only simply for fairness and then not having to ask people to leave as the table is required for the next reservations.

With the weather getting warmer we are in turn becoming busier and at peak times there can be a short wait for tables, I ask you guys to please be kind to my team, they are doing everything possible to turn a table before being seated, we ensure each table is cleaned and reset (which takes a few minutes), if we don’t have a table at the time you arrive my management are incredibly experienced and they will look after whilst you wait, keep you update whilst ensuring fairness to everyone so please be polite and rudeness will not be tolerated.

LATEST TEAROOM UPDATE (7th February 2023).

How are you all? Just a little update regarding tearoom opening times as this year the evenings seem to be drawing out earlier than ever before so we have made the decision to return to our summer opening hours of 10-4pm with immediate effect, hot food service remains until 1.30pm at this time however you can always enjoy a piece of cake at All Mine Cakes by the Lake.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner we have lots of love themed cakes for you to treat your loved one or simply give yourself a hug. We have a few new plant based items on the food menu as we have been having an increasing number of requested, we are receiving awesome feedback, of course we have our much loved favourites alongside, don’t worry! x

LATEST TEAROOM UPDATE (26th January 2023).

I hope you are all keeping well? Unfortunately, due to staff shortages we are closing at 2pm on the 26th January 2023 with last hot food service being 1.15pm. Sorry for any inconvenience x

LATEST TEAROOM UPDATE (25th December 2022).

Merry Christmas to you all, I hope whatever your plans, you have a lovely festive time.

As you may know the tearoom is currently closed until Thursday 29th December at 10am, on the 28th December there is a small army of us in getting the tearoom prepared for reopening as cakes need to be baked, chopped and packed, hot food menu prep organised and we have to wake her up again whist maintaining everything is perfect (as usual) for your Crimbo-Limbo walks to the tearoom so please be patient with us…I opted to have a proper break over Christmas however we are open for 5 days including the BH Monday so you gain an extra day of AMC magic, see our opening hours section for more info.

Unfortunately we don’t accept reservations and we are dog friendly outside on the terrace x

LATEST TEAROOM UPDATE (8th December 2022).

I hope your Christmas preparations are going well? Just a little update regarding a change of hot food service on Friday 9th December, we will be serving hot food until 1pm versus the usual 1.30pm as I need to give myself some self care and need to restore equilibrium with my body with a physio appointment from 1pm…I can cope with anything however when I have pain my defence mechanism is brain shutdown so unfortunately I have made the decision to regain myself and priorities myself so fingers crossed you guys see this to avoid disappointment.

The tearoom remains open until 3pm as per winter opening hours x x

LATEST TEAROOM UPDATE (21st November 2022).

Sorry its been a while since I posted an update, its been a little crazy alongside stuff going on outside AMC however thats another story… So what’s happened?

We have relaunched our Brownie Postal Boxes as so many of you guys keep asking for Cakes by Post to be relaunched however by doing the boxes it makes it something thats achieveable and you guys simply click from the comfort of your own home so have a look at our Shop section however due to the postal strikes schedule the next few weeks I have popped it on pause due to concerns with delays & loss of parcels etc. Please email me if something you wish to discuss?

Fish & Chips are back, yes you read correctly however only on Thursday & Fridays, I don’t have the capacity or the skill to create a Christmas menu however what I can do is create the best Gluten Free Fish & Chips (which can be served dairy free, we swap the peas) as my way of saying Merry Christmas and thank you for all your ongoing support.

As the darker and colder nights have officially landed we have just made the decision to adjust to our winter opening hours which basically means we close an hour earlier so we open out doors from 10am-3pm serving breakfast, lunch & snacks until 1.30pm. To help keep the tearoom warm we have made the decision to keep the porch door closed however we have a board outside saying “Hello, we are open, just keeping the warmth in”.

Finally, phase 1 of the Christmas decorating has begun, we have the most beautiful Feeston Lights hanging from the ceiling which just creates a comforting and softness to the tearoom, phase 2 commences once I have stood for a hour selecting the mini Christmas tree as we have decided to have the big tree up at home as we have a big hole in our heart this year.

The tearoom christmas opening hours and the January annual holiday have been decided so have a peek in our opening hours section, visit the tearoom or our social media pages for more details.

LATEST TEAROOM UPDATE (11th October 2022).

Without going into the reasoning, sometimes you just have to surround yourself with family and find a way through! On Thursday 13th October its one of those days, our usual breakfast menu is served until 11am and then we will be serving an edited lunch & snacks menu until 1.30pm alongside of course cake and all the other AMC loveliness…We will be closing at 3pm simply to support my team as they will be short staffed however they are going above & beyond to help get us through this.

Everything returns to normal on Friday 14th October, thank you for your kindness and understanding in advance .

LATEST TEAROOM UPDATE (4th October 2022).

Autumn has certainly arrived, I do love the changing of the seasons however darker morning and the nights drawing in takes time to adjust! Its time to revert back to our Autumn opening hours of Thursday to Sunday 10-4pm, in Summer we extended our weekend opening to 9.30am however with snugglier mornings coming along its time to switch back to 10am. For now our closing remains 4pm however as the darker nights draw in we will review whether we close a little earlier however for now the thing to remember is 10am-4pm Thursday to Sunday serving Breakfast & Lunch/Snacks until 1.30pm and of course cake is available all day so don’t panic!!

As the season changes we are please asking for your support to help keep everyone warm, at this time we aren’t turning on the heaters (either indoors or outside) simply due to the cost of living crisis, the huge juggling act we have with price increases of all items we use in the tearoom (even napkins & loo rolls due to gas used with the manufacturing of paper, I never knew!).

Please come prepared with a coat or jumper, hat & scarf if needed? The blanket baskets are back to help keep you guys warm but like all households & businesses there is a bumpy road ahead of us so in the words of whichever supermarket, every little helps…We have survived a pandemic unlike so many other small businesses and determined to get through this so with your amazing help and support we can do it.

Hope to see you soon, Hayley and the team x
