September is here, the Autumnal Equinox is in a couple of weeks and as the season changes from summer to autumn so do we... The biggest lesson the seasons can teach us is the nature of impermanence, that things are constantly changing, and here at The Sail Loft Dartmouth we are changing things once again. We will continue to open Thursday to Monday (closed Tuesday & Wednesdays) but our new hours this September are 5pm to 10.30pm (except Sundays when we will close at 9pm). We will still be serving our Pizza & Sizzling Slider Menu, but we also have some GUEST CHEF Pop-ups to look forward to! Sigourney Mayer-Hughes of The Greedy Table takes over our KITCHEN on Friday 21st and Saturday 22nd September with a delicious Mediterranean Small Plates Menu, and on Sunday 29th September Jake Bridgwood returns to The Sail Loft, this time for SUNDAY LUNCH with The Wandering Cook. Please go to our KITCHEN page for the menus, and please note BOOKING IS ESSENTIAL for these two events. FRIDAY NIGHT is Music Night, and this September the incredibly talented JOANNA COOKE returns on the 13th, then we have DJ ROWAN MAYER-HUGHES on Friday 20th, and last but by no means least GILES NUTTALL on Friday 27th September. Friday Night is always an amazing night The Sail Loft! Finally this autumn we look forward to hosting lots more Private Parties, Weddings and Pop-up Events starting with Zest Move Yoga & Brunch Event on Saturday 14th September (book direct with Zest Move please!). For more information on hosting an event or party with us please do drop us an email at [email protected]. We look forward to welcoming you all very soon. Love Rupert & Sarah x
