The Café manager, Suzé Nelson, and the enthusiastic team of volunteers look forward to welcoming you in the Café.



Suzé has over 4 years’ experience in the catering industry and is more excited than ever to be working amongst such enthusiastic volunteers.

The menu has been designed to appeal to everyone with prices that everyone can afford. We have three allotments where volunteers grow supplies for the café and we even have volunteers who are preparing to make our own range of jams and chutneys!”
