Winter opening times
The cafe is open all week from 9am – 4pm.
Our Sustainable Suppliers
Wherever possible, we have found local suppliers for our produce, because it offers the lowest environmental impact in terms of food miles travelled, supports the local economy and small businesses, just like us.
Park Cafe aims to serve the local community in the best way possible - by serving the best food options we can. We support local suppliers, we try to ensure that our supplies are produced in ethical, sustainable and responsible manners. We don't let our food waste go to waste either! We recycle all our food waste, in Bokashi bins, which we then add to our composting bins. Our coffee grounds are also recycled and used in our wonderful gardens.
Our free range meat comes from The Butchery in St Thomas. It is important to us to put ethics first by ensuring welfare standards are high, as is the quality of meat.
We work with various local bakeries who supply us with delicious bread and awesome gluten free cakes. We are really lucky to have so many amazingly local businesses who we can support.
Bookings
We cannot take bookings or reservations for tables (both inside and outside) at weekends whilst we are busy - nor can we accommodate large groups or bookings during our regular opening hours. During the week, we may be able to accommodate a reservation - but please do contact us first!
If you would like to hold a meeting in our building or on our grounds - please consider booking the Park Hub details of how to book here. Alternatively, you could consider using the public park outside of the Park Life boundary.

We can also arrange for the whole building to be hired for special events (using the Cafe and Hub spaces combined) - again, please contact us for more information.

Our Menu
We develop our menu throughout the year to try to reflect and use as many seasonal products as possible. Keeping our menu fresh allows us to respond to how we can best serve our customers and community.
Our kitchen team want you to feel as though you are at home when you eat with us and there are many comforting, homemade recipes on the the menu. We also cater for allergens and different dietary requirements - there are vegetarian and vegan options on the menu, and if you require gluten free options, please just ask one of our team.
We are proud to make many of our own menu items in house and from scratch – including our own jams, pickles, hummus, vegan mayonnaise and chilli sauce.
As a community cafe we tried to keep the prices as affordable as possible so not to exclude any parts of the wonderful community we live in.
Volunteer with us
There are always volunteering opportunities available in the cafe. We love having volunteers as part of the team - all we need from you is the commitment of a couple of hours on a set day each week.
Pay It Forward
Why not buy a ‘pay it forward’ voucher? Anyone can buy a voucher and pass it onto another customer, a friend, family, loved ones or a stranger. Let’s keep that community spirit alive!
