Makers' Market Roadshow

There's going to be a craft fair in the cafe on Bank Holiday Monday - there'll be pottery wheels, jewellry making and all sorts of local makers displaying their wares. There will be tea and coffee available, but no food, I'm afraid. We'll be closed on the Tuesday after that, and open as usual again on Wednesday.

A small victory...

... but one that's made me very happy. If you've ever visited the cafe you will probably aware of the problem that we have with cars being parked outside on Cowbridge Road with For Sale signs in them, which stop customers and local residents from parking. After 4 (!) years of going on to various parts of Cardiff City Council, something positive has actually been done: click on the letter to make it bigger.

Lunchtime menu

Just changed the lunch menu, here's a copy of it (click on it to make it bigger). The steak baguette is a particular favourite, lovely with a bit of horseradish sauce.

Evening opening (and Saturdays!)

From the middle of September, we are going to start to open later into the evening - at first we will be serving hot food until 8pm on Thursday and Friday evenings, and from 12pm to 8pm on Saturdays (hopefully we will be able to open a bit later if we get planning permission). There's going to be a proper grown up evening menu - gourmet burgers, steaks, chips, big salads and some wonderful new desserts, with everything make from fresh ingredients as usual. There will also be some sharing platters and kids portions as well, which will make it a great venue for families looking to eat out. Menus and more details to follow shortly...

Other news: we are going to have a new chef starting any day now (he's just become a dad again so we're not rushing him!) called Adam; he's a great chef with lots of new ideas for the menu. In the meantime, try to enjoy the "summer" as best you can; if it's too wet for the beach or the park we would love to see you in the cafe.
