Customer survey

Firstly, a massive thanks to Chris who has been with us for the last two weeks on work experience - he's been a huge help, cheers Chris!
Secondly, we're doing a bit of market research, so if you fancy filling in an online survey for us there's a link at the bottom. If you fancy adding your name to our mailing list that would be great as well.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year one and all. We had a bit of a funny start to the year what with all the snow and ice; we managed to open every day though, even though it was pretty quiet around here. Hope you all coped with the extreme weather and managed to stay warm; Adam has been cooking up some lovely wintery food like beef stew and lasagne al forno which really hits the spot when it's chilly outside. Don't forget about our other online stuff as well - we are now both on Facebook and Flickr.

xmas update

Well, it's been an eventful few weeks; been a bit too busy to update this page what with all the turkey and roast potatoes, so here goes... we have had a major funding application approved by the Big Lottery which guarantees the cafe's existence for the next three years. Rosie, who is one of our fundraisers in Innovate Trust, had spent six months on the application, and we found out that it had been approved last week; big thanks to both the Big Lottery and Rosie for making this happen!
Other news: thanks to everyone who came down for a Christmas lunch this year, it had a lovely festive atmosphere in the cafe. We are also now have a Facebook page as Parkview Cafe; if you are into that sort of thing please have a look - it's still under construction at the moment, but I am on a mission to accumulate as many fans of the page as possible, so if you become a fan that would be great.
We will be closing over the Christmas break from Christmas Day to the 4th of January and reopening on Tuesday the 5th of January as normal.
Lastly, a massive thanks to all the staff and trainees, and to all the customers that have supported us over the last year - have a very happy Christmas and see you next year!
