THIS WEEK ONLY. Come and get ‘em 🥞

We weren’t open for pancake day, so we’re making up for it with a delectable special. Fresh, buttery crepes served with @thedorsetdairyco yoghurt, poached British rhubarb and our homemade granola. Top marks to our kitchen team for this one 🙌🏼

Some may wonder if Barry White is appropriate for pancake day. We believe that he is.

Not our usual content, but we need to share some serious appreciation for the hard-working humans who have made Sorelle such a special place to be this year ❤️
Hospitality is definitely not an “easy option” as so many people think. The work is wildly varied and it takes enormous amounts of enthusiasm, initiative and a pinch of madness to keep things running smoothly. So thank you, amazing people, for regularly braving the elements to come and work with us. We love you for it 🙏🏻

We’ll be back with more frivolity in the New Year! See you in February.

‼️ Well isn’t this exciting?? Christmas has come early to Sorelle! 🎄
Our fabulously beautiful wood burner was FINALLY installed yesterday. Questionably modelled by Natalie while pretending she wasn’t being filmed… 🥸
The fire pairs well with an indulgent hot chocolate and a good book. In case you were wondering.

PS. We have a couple of tickets left for our Carols by Candlelight on the 18th. Link in bio.

PPS. Yes, this is an appropriate use of Belinda Carlisle.

👋🏼 Hello lovely people! We just wanted to say a quick hello to our new followers and share some fun Sorelle facts for our ongoing followers…
1️⃣ ‘Sorelle’ is Italian for ‘sisters’ (that’s us! Matilda & Natalie)
2️⃣ We started a cafe to help diversify our small family farm. We now run regular events and have on-site glamping too! Alongside keeping sheep, chickens and two very spoiled pigs…
3️⃣ On our first day open we took £9.50 (from one customer) and we were delighted
4️⃣ We both have spaniels who are also sisters (Maggie & Mango) and our mum has their mum, Purdy (we know, it’s excruciatingly cute)
5️⃣ We adore delicious food and always use locally sourced ingredients wherever possible. We’re also a bit obsessed with coffee. And pastries. And cake 👀
6️⃣ Our little business couldn’t open each day without our genuinely wonderful (and bonkers) team of awesome humans. Without them it’s just us, a basket of croissants and some rusty coffee skills, which would be pretty disappointing for all you fab customers.

So here’s a big THANK YOU to everyone who supports us, both in person and from afar. We are still delighted every time you decide to visit 🙏🏻

PS. We’ve got some awesome events coming up before we close for Christmas! Check out the link in our bio or sign up to our newsletter for more info 🥳

We often hear people say ‘there’s nothing going on round here’, so we thought we’d better do something about that.
🍸 Introducing the collab of all collabs: Sorelle X Maxfield & Dyer, featuring the utterly fabulous Louisa Revolta accompanied by the Kings of Lounge.
🎷 If you were lucky enough to bag a ticket to this sold out event, you’d have experienced a night of vintage glamour, stunning cocktails and exceptional jazz.
✨ The main question now is… should we do it again? Tell us in the comments.

What a joy it was to host the incredible @sami_tamimi in our little cafe this week! Thank you so much to @thekitchentabledorset for organising everything and being the ultimate discussion host as always 🙏🏻
It was a real honour to be able to cook a few dishes from Sami’s beautiful book ‘Boustany’ and share them with guests throughout the evening.
Sami was so kind and generous with his time - what a wonderful evening we all had together 👏🏻

🌸 A quick divergence from food to talk about flowers!
We’ve always intended to open up our flower farm to the public for ‘Pick Your Own’ evenings or just for the joy of wandering around space.
So far, we’ve been scuppered by insurance (year 1), monsoon-style rain (year 2) and now drought (year 3). While our flower stand is regularly stocked with blooms from our farm, we really don’t have the quantities of flowers that we should at this time of year. Certainly not enough to justify PYO when we have existing flowery commitments to weddings and events.
🌼 SO we are putting a pin in PYO for this year. We’re sorry to disappoint our customers, but unless a weather-based miracle occurs and our plants start growing at a rate of knots, we just can’t anticipate suitable quantities of flowers this year.
We’re not giving up on the vision though! So watch this space and, with a little patience, hopefully you’ll be roaming our flower farm next summer snipping blooms into a bucket. 🤞🏼
Thank you for understanding! (And for reading this far!)

🌟 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.

Feels like a full English kind of day 👌🏻
With the weather turning, we’re all about comfort food. Soups, toasties, bacon sandwiches, pastries…. Mmm.
We’ve also launched our seasonal luxury hot chocolate featuring toasted hazelnuts and whipped cream 😍 why not add a cheeky Baileys or dash of rum to make it extra indulgent…? 👀

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!
