Dear Lincoln and surrounding friends. The Grumpy Sailor has always been a deep rooted side project, one that has so many great memories from West Africa to our home here in Lincoln. I feel it has now run its course and now is the time to say goodbye. Thankyou to everyone for supporting this business. Especially and who were there from the start.
It filled a void at a time when Lincoln had very little vegan treat options, we now celebrate that there are ones popping up monthly; vegan take overs means less dairy baking and that was always the point to show again and again that taste never had to be compromised at the expense of suffering. On this note we move forward to future projects outside of the bakery. As it started the Grumpy sailor kitchen will end with a firm position, stance and solidarity with spaces and businesses of anti specicism, anti racism, anti homophobia and LGBTQ support.
I'll leave you with an image of where it all began almost a decade ago.
