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.

Big Lottery giant cake!
Well, it was huge! Innovate Trust and Parkview have been receiving funding from the Big Lottery Fund for the last few years, and they chose us to show to the public how their money is spent on good causes. To publicise this, we had a five foot wide lottery ball themed cake built in the cafe, which was decorated with the help of our trainees. It was a great day, something we'll remember for many years to come! Here's a few pictures...

The sun is out...
... and it feels positively spring-like round here. We've had Baltic Cafe renovated in the last couple of weeks if you happen to be in the WCVA building in Cardiff Bay; and the menu has changed again in Parkview (check it out on the menu pages). We're going to be having a bib publicity event for the Big Lottery, who contribute a lot towards the funding of Parkview - this will be happening on Tuesday April 21st in the Cafe (and hopefully outside it as well), with all sorts of stuff (tbc) going on. Lastly, we will be closed for a few days over Easter - Good Friday, Easter Monday, and the following Tuesday. Cheers all!
