✨ Hogmanay Opening Hours ✨
🕚 11am–1pm
☕ LRM open from 9am

What an amazing year it’s been 💛
Thank you for being such a wonderfully supportive community.

I started this year with the keys to a building with the intention of storing all the equipment I’ve gathered over the years — cooking kit, hundreds of bottles and jars, market stalls, display and info boards, foraging and campfire gear — and no real plan for a shop. Just a small idea I wanted to play with, and maybe save myself tramping miles to different markets every month.

Fast forward to now, and we have our very own wee shop and part of The Hidden Lane, stocking a huge variety of items in a very small space 🥰

In our wee shop you’ll find all our own handcrafted jams, chutneys, syrups, shrubs and other seasonal products like pesto, sauerkraut and kimchi, alongside a carefully chosen range from small, independent (mostly UK-based) producers.

Thank you to all our guest producers during this year. We love having you join us. Our diary is already filling up with dates for the new year, so make sure you’re also following Thehiddenlanethurso page to keep up to date with all that is going on as we have some new guest producers pop-up in January. We still have some spaces available if you are a producer or know of someone who would like to join us. Drop me a message.

A huge thank you to the whole Hidden Lane community for supporting us throughout the year especially LRM Trading Ltd — it truly means more than we can say.

We’d love to welcome you in on our last day of the year, and if not, we hope to see you in the New Year, with heartfelt thanks for all the support you’ve shown us along the way ✨💛

Wishing you all a peaceful, joyful and nourishing 2026 — filled with good food, good company and moments worth savouring. Thank you for being part of our journey; we can’t wait to see what the new year brings✨🥂

✨ Homebaking by Niki — in store today ✨

It’s collection day for all pre-ordered fresh cream cakes & bakes, and they look very tempting.

And because Niki never does things by halves… she’s baked extra buns for anyone who fancies a last-minute treat 💛

🥨 Cardamom Buns
Soft, buttery, beautifully twisted and finished with a glossy glaze and chopped pistachios. Fragrant with cardamom and gently spiced — these are next level comfort bakes.
💡 Top tip: warm for 15 seconds in the microwave to bring them back to fresh-from-the-oven perfection.

🎄 Christmas Buns
Studded with cranberries, apricots and cinnamon, lightly spiced and iced — festive, fruity, and utterly moreish. Perfect with a coffee… or as a “just one more” treat to take home.

Limited numbers, baked fresh, and once they’re gone — they’re gone.
Pop in today and grab yours while they last 🤍

Open until 2pm today
