As already said in Careers, it's great and so much potential. You'll do great! Pledged

Exciting times!

I always look for rustic, out of town places to eat. Much prefer them to the often pretentious town centre places.

Best of luck with your venture.

I guess the orchard fruit (in the satellite view, surrounding your plot) must be apples, if it's called The Cider Shed. Make sure you have the local food/drink connection to some degree. Good luck.

If they could find a small local brewery they could get their own cider with the apples!

Good luck matey, from one business owner to another.

It's not always smooth sailing but being your own boss is great.

Nice one wez, is it worlds apart from wasdale, what's the craft ales like there, best wishes hope it turns out good for you and the Mrs.

 

[Ahleckz]

That's the venue for next OcUK meet-up sorted then

The Glasgow contingent have already taken note that free beer has been offered and flights are booked!
It’ll take a lot to beat the original Glasgow meet, but we’re game!

 

[Psymonkee]

Only an hour and half from Pukekohe Raceway? SOLD!

Just gotta get flights to NZ now

Every little helps

Looks good. Are you doing a significant amount of renovation prior to opening? (to the decor etc?)

Yes, but i'm doing a lot of it myself to save money, money is quite tight, as we expected, we've run into a couple of unexpected extra costs, i.e, the food license we expected to cost $330 has cost $995 now, then there's a certificate we need to apply for which is almost another $1k which came as a surprise, before we can even apply for our liquor license. We are both still working full time for another few weeks though. I think a lot more will get done once we get money coming in though.

 

[wez130]

All the best Wez, hope it pulls off and you have a successful business

Thanks to everyone who has wished use well, we will certainly give it our best shot! It'll be great working for ourselves, i can see myself doing 100 hour weeks soon

We are supporting local businesses, luckily, we are set in the heart of the Matakana wine trail, so there's plenty of local wines to choose from. There are also a good few breweries too, which i'm a big fan of, (8 wired and Sawmill being 2 of them). These will all feature on tap
