The Table is the name of our new community cafe.
The Table is an inclusive place for everybody in our community.
We are a volunteer run social enterprise that tries to source a lot of what we sell ethically and sustainably which means some of our costs/prices may not be the cheapest and we might be a little slower than the professionals, but we aim to give a warm welcome, provide freshly made home cooked food and have affordable options on the full menu as well. More importantlly, as a social enterprise, all profit will go back into this community.
Our Community cafe is open all week.
9.30am - 2.30pm - Monday to Friday
9.30am - 2.00pm - Saturday.
The name comes from Psalm 23, The Lord is My Shepherd, and describes someone finding peace, refreshment, comfort, hope and joy even in difficult times.
The Table connects with the idea of eating together. Jesus was often found eating with both friends and strangers, and is most famously remembered eating at the Last Supper.
All of the milk and flour we use are organic. The coffee beans we use are sustainably sourced and roasted locally by Cracked Bean (another social enterprise). Our tea is also eco-friendly and ethically sourced.
We always try to have gluten free and vegan options available, but are not ashamed of our fantastic cheese and ham toasties with red onion marmalade on the side!
Watch out on facebook, instagram and our website for details.
We continue to recruit volunteers to help create a truly local community cafe. If you are interested then please contact our cafe manager, chat to someone at church or pop in to the office.
Our volunteers come from all walks of life and of all abilities, helping unskilled young people into work, supporting differently able people and blessing highly skilled people who just wish to give back into the community. Please be patient with us if we are a little slower and less perfect than professionally run cafes.
