🌟 It’s official: our pea smash has migrated from the specials board onto our permanent menu 🌟
You’ve shown this delicious pile of peas so much love that we felt the need to make it a signature dish this summer! Have you tried it yet? 👀

Psst…. We think it’s made extra-special with the addition of some tasty halloumi. Just saying.

Good morning everybody ☀️
The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the customers are crying…. Wait, what?
We are open this weekend, but will be CLOSED from the 4th September for TWO WEEKS 😰😭 I know. It’s a lot.
We are refitting our kitchen which is incredibly exciting for us and incredibly boring for you, so we are very sorry. BUT we will be back and better than ever (with a shiny new kitchen floor that you’ll probably never see) on the 19th September.
☕️ Consider this your opportunity to support some of the other fantastic independent cafes in North Dorset, before returning to us for a slap up brunch and cup of Dorset’s finest coffee later in the month.

Opening hours this week:
Friday 30th: 9am-9pm (live music from 7pm!)
Saturday 31st: 10am-4pm
Sunday 1st: 10am-2pm

Hello! 👋🏼
You know the drill: this is the post where we re-introduce ourselves to the delightful flurry of new followers that we’ve recently received! Hello, welcome and thank you 🙏🏻
We are Matilda & Natalie, the sisters behind Sorelle. Most days we can be found in either a kitchen or a field (or very occasionally a pub) where we’ll be cooking brunch for our customers or planting and harvesting flowers (providing that the slugs don’t get there first).
Sorelle is a cafe within a stretch tent, so we pretend that we’re in Italy and generally try to ignore the rain when it comes. Whether through food, flowers or events, everything we do comes from a genuine wish to make everyone’s day a little bit yummier. If that’s a word.

Thank you for reading this far! If you enjoy little rambles like this, you can sign up to our monthly newsletter via our website where you’ll get all the latest Sorelle updates (providing I remember to send it….)

Hope to see you soon!

🎶 Friday nights at Sorelle will soon be coming to an end, so enjoy them while they last! 🍻
👉 TONIGHT 16th August - we’ve got @st.fian joining us all the way from the wilds of Somerset. Be sure to catch this foot-stomping folk duo from 7pm. We’ll be serving aperitivo 5pm-8pm with the bar open until 9pm(ish)!
👉 Friday 23rd August we are CLOSED for a wonderful wedding! Sorry gang…
👉 Friday 30th August- the very talented @benfrancishq will be with us to celebrate (I think?) our final Friday aperitivo night! 😢 Don’t miss this one - fabulous music, tasty nibbles and gallons of excellent Italian wine on offer.

DON’T PANIC - we will be filling the diary with plenty of Autumnal events to keep you busy, but we won’t be open every single Friday night… because we’re in England (not Italy, sadly) and the weather isn’t exactly reliable. Stay tuned for updates!

We visited the fabulous @brothersfarmdorset today!
If you’re ever passing their way, we thoroughly recommend paying them a visit.

PYO blueberries, beautiful cut flowers and top-notch coffee 👌🏻 (the blueberry pancakes were pretty damn tasty too!)

You can tell that this is business built with care and some serious hard work. PLUS it’s another sibling-run venture which we obviously love 🙌🏼

Huge thanks to Dan for sharing your time (and mutual slug woes!) with us - we wish you guys every success!

🍕All of our favourite things were under one canvas last night 😍
Thank you to @big_bang_pizza for serving up some excellent slices, also thanks to Tegen Jones for the fab vocals. It was such a fun evening and we hope that everyone enjoyed it as much as we did!
(We’re already planning the next one 🤫)

We are back to regular opening hours next week with Salt of the Earth bringing us live music on Friday evening and our July supper club is on Saturday with @lwcookschool at the helm!

Check out these tasty treats from the last few weeks! 🤤
We are utterly in awe of the cake-creating skills of both independent bakers who supply us with delicious home-bakes every week. We used to do all of our own baking, but as demand grew (and somehow our kitchen seemed to shrink) it became impossible for us to keep up! So now we have two incredibly lovely local bakers who are far more skilled than we ever were.
Please pop in and sample some of their beautiful bakes this week!

We are also very excited for Friday night, when we’ll have @rcvocalcoaching singing from 7pm and we’ll be serving aperitivo until 8pm! Bar closes at 9pm 🥂
Hope to see you there!

Let supper club season commence! 🤩
Last night we hosted our very first supper club with a guest chef at the helm. I think we speak for everyone when we say that @chef_laura_pope absolutely nailed it!
Plates and plates of delicious food just kept on coming. Laura really brought a taste of Mediterranean sunshine to our cafe and everybody loved it ☀️
Huge thank you to Laura!

We’re now incredibly excited for our supper club season and my goodness we’ve got some fabulous meals on the horizon.
Next up, @lwcookschool will be in the kitchen on the 20th July! For more information follow the link in our bio.

31st August: @janey_and_co ‘Farmhouse Feasting’

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! 🥳
Of course we mean dad dads, stepdads, granddads, dog dads, lizard dads, fish dads, cat dads and all the other versions of ‘dad’ out there. Here’s to you! 🥂

We should probably also mention our dad (he’ll be horrified) who is often found working incredibly hard on the farm or grazing over a cheese board with a nice Chianti…
We couldn’t have built our business without him. (I mean, he literally built a lot of it.) So here is a massive WE LOVE YA to our dear dad ❤️

PS. We’ll be open until 2pm today and serving brunch throughout! It might be a bit busy, but join us and embrace the fun! 🥳

We’ve got top-notch coffee, delicious handmade cakes, freshly baked pastries, scrumptious brunch AND we’re open late tonight for post-work wines and pre-dinner nibbles. What more could you want from a Friday?! 🍻

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATILDA! 🎉🥳
Today is the day that my beautiful, hardworking, totally weird sister turns 30!
You might have noticed, but we’re very close as siblings: so close, that when Tilly was living in Italy she took me on a FaceTime tour of Venice (that’s this photo and yes, she asked her partner Tom to document the moment.)
The fact that we now work together is very much a lifelong dream come true. She’s invaluable as a chef, business partner, manager, taste-tester, sounding board and best friend (all while being an ever-doting mother to a mad spaniel…)
HERE’S TO MATILDA! 🥂

PS. Because it’s her 30th, we’re having a bit of a party on Saturday, so we’ll be closing the cafe a little early! Brunch served 10am-2pm as usual though 😊

It was our first birthday today! 🥳
Can you believe that we’ve been open a whole year? Swipe for the same photo last year and you can play your own game of spot the difference. (No comments about reduced flexibility please 😂)

We are incredibly grateful to you all for your support throughout the last 12 months - it’s been a steep learning curve but what a fantastic time we’ve had so far! We also couldn’t have done it without our lovely, hardworking team (sorry you didn’t all make the photoshoot).

We hope you have a great bank holiday Monday! We’ll be closed as usual, but back open on Thursday from 9am-4pm 😊

What a treat it was to have the fabulous @angela_clutton at Sorelle last night! Yet another superb collaboration with @thekitchentabledorset ❤️
We were honoured to cook a selection of recipes from Angela’s new book, Seasoning, which were sampled and enjoyed during a fascinating discussion between Angela and Sarah about all things seasonal.

We must say a HUGE thank you to @thevegshedatkensonsfarm , @stetgarden and Liv (the gooseberry Queen!) for the delicious produce that made the event extra special.

And it wouldn’t be a Sorelle event without a couple of dogs in attendance 🐾

It takes a huge amount of hard work, late nights, early starts, worry, stress, determination and joy to run a business. Starting out from scratch and wading through the paperwork, inspections, assessments, protocols and more paperwork is incredibly daunting, but we’re here to say, DO IT! ❤️
Follow that mad idea to start your own business, because once you do you’ll soon see how much pleasure it brings to you and those around you.

We are utterly honoured by the support that we’ve received over the last year and to have reached the finals of a local business award for ‘Best Cafe’ really is the icing on the cake! Who’d have thought it?!

We wouldn’t be where we are now without our stellar team and fantastic customers. You bring us so much joy!

If you’d like to help us out further, we’d be delighted if you could visit the Muddy Stilettos website and vote for us in the final 🙏🏻 the slate is wiped clean, so if you think you’ve already voted please check again as you might be our deciding vote!
The link is in our bio, or you can message us here for more information ☺️
