A café for everyone
Our café is open to everyone in Richmond – marginalised individuals, local residents, members of the business community and visitors to the borough.
We serve delicious lunches – homemade soup, sandwiches, omelettes, paninis, gourmet toast, baked potatoes and much more. We also offer a full afternoon tea service that includes homemade cakes.
We have a large garden that includes a lawn, summer house and patio areas. Both the garden and café are well-equipped to entertain children. If you need a high chair please ask.
Free internet access and WiFi is available across the premises.
Lunch is available Mondays to Thursdays from 12.30 – 15:00 . Afternoon tea, cakes and snacks are available from 12.30 – 16.30.
The heart of the community
Our café is one of the few places in Richmond where people of all walks of life come together. It’s a safe, communal, inclusive space where people can enjoy great food and drink and have a chat. If you’re looking to reconnect with people in your borough, this is the place for you.
