Barnaby & Boo's

A NOTE FROM US: A SMALL RESET & A FRESH START We owe you an honest update, and an apology. In our enthusiasm to work with so many wonderful local food vendors, we crowded our calendar a little too much and didn't give each event in our Supper Club series the room it needed to breathe. As a result, Taco Night unfortunately didn't go ahead, and we've made the decision to postpone Easy E's BBQ Night until April. To everyone who booked and was disappointed, we're very sorry. You

Tuesday 24 February 2026 B&B this week : Taco Night is happening this Saturday and tickets are going fast, so don't sleep on it! Gabriel and Felipe are bringing the Latin flavours and it's going to be a good one. On the B&B menu front, the Hot Buns are flying, the Hot Caesar in particular (crispy bacon, caesar chicken, parmesan, gem lettuce on a brioche bun — yes please). We've also just launched the Lunch Club: any hot bun plus a hot drink for £12. Monday to Friday 12-2pm. B

Why Mexican Food Is the Most Sociable Food on Earth (And why we’re bringing it to Barnaby & Boo’s on Saturday 28th) There’s something about tacos. They’re not plated and guarded. They’re passed. Shared. Built at the table. Talked over. Mexican food might just be the most sociable food on earth. It’s informal. Relaxed. Generous. You reach across the table. Someone hands you the salsa. Someone else laughs because theirs fell apart. Nobody minds. And that’s exactly the kind of e

Quick updates from B&B: It's half term week, and Pancake Day is today! A huge thank you to everyone who came down for our first hot dog afternoon with Easy E's – it was a great success! Despite the wet weather, we've been serving up some delicious new hot buns, including the HOT CAESAR. This week, come try any hot bun and get a drink for only £2.50. Coming up: End of month: Gabfelis Taco Night at B&B's 7 March: Easy E's BBQ returns 14 March: K Supper Club's debut event at B&B

Butter & Buns What a buzz from last week's supper club with Easy E's BBQ! Huge thanks to Emerey, Vicky and everyone who joined us for some seriously good food and vibes. And speaking of good vibes, we're thrilled to welcome back EASY Es for  Friday Treats THIS FRIDAY – bring the kids down for an early tea from 3.30-5.30 while you enjoy some proper grub yourself. Yes, the weather's doing its best to dampen spirits, but it's brilliant to see our regulars powering through – par

Happy Monday, everyone! What a difference the sunshine makes! After a week of relentless rain, it was wonderful to see B&B buzzing with life over the weekend. The ice cream was flowing, friends were catching up, and we had the absolute joy of hosting our very first kids' birthday party. Seeing so many happy and excited young New Maldeners celebrating together was a real highlight. Here's to many more! This Saturday: Supper Club with Easy E's BBQ We're thrilled to announce our

Sharing love through cooking! Hello New Malden! The Supper Club Revolution: Redefining How We Dine There's something quietly revolutionary happening in dining rooms, pop-up spaces, and reclaimed high street venues across the country. The supper club, once a nostalgic relic of mid-century America, has been reborn as one of the most exciting trends reshaping modern hospitality. A History Worth Savouring Supper clubs first emerged in the United States during Prohibition, when ex

Happy Tuesday, everyone! I love this time of year. Christmas has passed, leaving only discarded trees on street corners as gentle reminders. The days are quietly lengthening—slowly, steadily—bringing welcome light back into our mornings and evenings. But there's something special about this particular moment: a stoic calm settles over winter, giving us space to process, to regenerate, to prepare ourselves for spring's eventual arrival. Now is the time to take stock. To think

Barnaby & Boo Hello New Malden! More Than Just a Cafe I thought I was opening a cafe to be my own boss. But I realize now I've been fighting for something much bigger: space for people to actually be together. Our first cafe Tried & True in Putney opened on this day in 2012. 14 years ago! When we opened Tried & True I didn't fully understand what we were building. What I thought I wanted was independence — to run my own show, call my own shots. What I was actually chasing, wi

Happy Monday, everyone! What a buzzy week it's been at B&B's! It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces—and some brilliant new ones too. Thank you for braving the cold and those treacherous icy pavements to come and visit us. We're incredibly excited about what 2026 has in store, and we're so grateful for your continued support. Behind the scenes, we've been working on some super new products and services, so do watch this space! We've also had fantastic interest in our

Richmond Park w/ Boo. She made me wear the tight coat. Not impressed. By Barnaby (Miniature Schnauzer, Coffee Shop Mascot, Professional Walker) Right then, listen up. I've been exploring every path, park, and pavement around New Malden for years now, and I know a thing or two about a good winter walk. Sure, the humans think they're in charge with their maps and their "let's head back now, Barnaby" – but between you and me, I've been leading the way all along. Winter is absolu

Hello New Malden! So here we are. The decorations are down, the leftover chocolates are finally finished, and Monday morning arrived with its usual lack of fanfare. Welcome back to reality – or at least, January's version of it. We know this week feels like a bit of a shock to the system. The gentle drift of the holidays has been replaced by alarm clocks, packed lunches, and the sudden remembering of what day the bins go out. The world expects you to simply resume normal serv

Happy New Year from Barnaby & Boo's! We hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. We've had a wonderful, relaxing time with friends over in Putney and are now enjoying the English countryside – think canalside rambles with Barnaby and cosy pub lunches. A huge thank you to Gyumin and Luana for keeping the show on the road while we recharge. Just a quick note that we'll be closed on New Year's Day (Thursday), but we look forward to seeing you over the coming days while time has slo

Happy 2nd Birthday Barnaby & Boo's! Monday 15 December 2025 Two Years of Tail Wags & Coffee Cups ☕🐾 Dear Barnaby & Boo's Family, This week, we're celebrating something incredible – two whole years of being part of the New Malden community, and we couldn't have done it without you! When we first opened our doors, we dreamed of creating a space where coffee lovers, ice cream lovers and families could come together. What we got was so much more than that. We found a community t

What a day Small Business Saturday was! As we reflect on last week's celebrations, we're filled with gratitude for each person who chose to shop local and support our community. Your decision to spend your pounds here creates ripples that reach far beyond our doors. The Real Impact of Shopping Local When you choose to support a small business like ours, you're not just making a purchase—you're making an investment in your community. Studies show that for every pound spent at

We hope this finds you warm and well as winter truly settles in around us. B&B's has been transformed with Christmas decorations, and there's a proper festive feeling in the air – though we're not sure if that's the tinsel or the delicious aromas of our seasonal soups! The blustery weather hasn't dampened spirits one bit. We've been keeping cozy with hearty soups, warming sandwiches, and indulgent desserts, and it's been wonderful to see so many friendly faces braving the col

This Small Business Saturday, we're celebrating something special – the heartbeat of our community, powered by independent shops, cafés, and creative spaces that make our neighbourhood uniquely ours. The Local Difference When you shop at a small business, you're not just making a purchase – you're investing in your community. That money circulates locally, supporting other small businesses, creating jobs for your neighbours, and helping to maintain the vibrant, distinctive ch

Good morning lovely people! The silly season has well and truly arrived, and what a wonderful start it's been! It was absolutely magical to be at the turning on of the Christmas lights – well done to New Malden Rotary Club for putting on such a fantastic event, and of course at Jubilee Square too. There's nothing quite like sharing these special moments with our lovely community. Now, even though the weather outside might be a bit gloomy, don't forget about us here at B&Bs! W

Running a small hospitality business has always been a labour of love, but I won't pretend it hasn't become increasingly challenging. The recent budget changes have added another layer of difficulty to an already demanding landscape. There are days when the weight of it all feels heavy, when the spreadsheets don't balance the way we'd hoped, and when we wonder what the future holds. But then I walk through the doors of our two little spaces, and I'm reminded of why we do this

Woof! Barnaby here, your favourite miniature schnauzer and unofficial coffee expert at Barnaby & Boo's. Now, I may not have opposable thumbs to hold a cup (tragic, really), but I've spent enough time under the espresso machine catching crumbs to know a thing or two about what makes a great coffee. Today we're diving whisker-first into the wonderful world of alternative milks. Are they just a passing trend, or are they the real deal? Spoiler: they're pawsitively fantastic, an
