🥳 HAPPY 31st BIRTHDAY COLIN 🥳

It’s Patrick here — and yes, I’ve hijacked his page today while Colin’s off admin duties for his birthday! 🎂🎉

From all of us here, we just want to wish him a very Happy Birthday! 🎉🥳

If you know Colin, you’ll know he’s always the friendly, smiling face behind the counter — taking his time with you, making your coffees, cutting your cheese and always looking after each and every one of you who comes through the door and supports us. 🫶🏼

But despite it being his birthday, he is still working in the shop today — he didn’t want to close the shop for you all. I think it’s because he prefers your company rather than mine! 😂😅

Joking aside, we are incredibly grateful for everything he does here and we know many of you are too.

If you’re popping in today, see him around, or would simply like to make his day, please join us in wishing Colin a Happy Birthday! 🥳

Happy Birthday, Colin! 🎉

🌱 Meet Our New Resident Roaster: Long Walk Coffee

We're delighted to welcome Long Walk Coffee to our Resident Roaster series!

All month long, you'll be able to enjoy their Hunbatz espresso in our coffee machine — a beautifully balanced Guatemalan coffee roasted in Scotland and crafted to shine whether you enjoy it black or with milk.

☕ Tasting notes: Marzipan, yellow plum and liquorice, with a smooth, elegant finish.

📍 Origin: Huehuetenango, Guatemala — grown by a collection of small producers in the Guatemala highlands and traditionally washed for a clean, vibrant cup.

💭 Why we love it: Hunbatz is versatile and full of character. It makes a fantastic espresso, a silky flat white, and a delicious everyday coffee.

Love what you're drinking? Take it home! 🏠
We're also stocking Dark Side coffee beans in the deli — Long Walk's take on a classic espresso blend, combining coffees from Colombia and Guatemala for rich chocolatey flavours and a bold, comforting cup. Perfect for those who enjoy a deeper, more traditional coffee profile.

About Long Walk Coffee:
Founded by two friends with a passion for great coffee and community, Long Walk Coffee roasts fresh speciality coffee in Scotland with a focus on sustainability, quality, and approachable flavour. Their mission is simple: to make exceptional, responsibly sourced coffee enjoyable and accessible for everyone. ☕🤎

It's a philosophy that resonates strongly with us here at Food for Thought. We share the belief that great food and drink bring people together, creating a welcoming space where customers can slow down, connect and enjoy something made with care. Supporting local businesses, quality producers and our wider community remains at the heart of everything we do. 🤎

💡 Let There Be Light 💡

We've recently had some new pendant lights installed above the deli counter, and we couldn't be happier with how they've turned out 🫶🏼

A huge thank you to Dale at DJM Electrical for doing such a fantastic job 👏

We're always looking for ways to improve and make the shop better, and we've got some exciting things arriving this week. From new suppliers to a new resident coffee roaster, there's plenty to look forward to. We'll be sharing more very soon, so keep an eye on our socials 👀

Everything we do is driven by the same goal: creating a Farmshop & Deli that celebrates great local produce, offers something a little different, and gives you a place you genuinely enjoy visiting.

We're incredibly grateful for the support you've shown us. Every visit, recommendation and purchase helps us grow, improve, and continue supporting the amazing local producers we're proud to work alongside.

Thank you for being part of the journey ❤️

We're open today from 10am–5pm.
