Coffee Shop

WELCOME TO OUR COFFEE SHOP

Coffee Shop is now open daily.

We are operating a takeaway service mainly with limited opportunity for table service if staff levels and room availability allow.  Please ask the Coffee Shop staff on arrival.

The indoor play area for toddlers is closed until further notice. The accessible toilet near the Coffee Shop will be open.  
 
We have worked hard to make this area as safe as possible to comply with Covid-19 guidelines.
 
Opening times are 10am to 5pm at weekends, and 2pm to 5pm Monday to Friday.  On Thursday evenings 5pm – 8pm there will be a mobile Coffee Van on the green car park.  Come down and enjoy speciality coffees and teas and milkshakes with all the extras.
 
Do take the opportunity if you or your children are using the Centre’s outside areas to purchase drinks and snacks.

The main entrance of the Centre is closed, access to the Coffee Shop is as follows:

Entrance via the side door on the decking.
Exit via a new door to the rear of the building.

Please wear a mask or face covering when entering the Centre unless exempt due to disabilities or child under 11. 

We need lots of new volunteers to make the coffee shop viable because the majority of our regular volunteers fall into the vulnerable category so cannot attend at this time.  We are also able to offer shifts to Duke of  Edinburgh volunteers.    

We have added a hatch so that staff and volunteers can use the main preparation area and additional kitchen space separately.

Please contact us for more information, email coffeeshop@haltoncentre.org or call the Centre on 811316. Centre staff will always be present while Coffee Shop is open.

On the 1st and 3rd Fridays of each month is a special  Memory Cafe from 11am to 12.30pm when the Coffee Shop  will also be open. See www.haltoncentre.org/2015/04/launch-of-memory-cafe/

NB Memory Cafe is on hold for the time being due to the Coronavirus.

Since we launched the Coffee Shop in 2011 we have gone from strength to strength with a small number of willing volunteers,  student help in the holidays and two weekend paid staff.  

Read what some of our volunteers have to say. People volunteer at the Coffee Shop for a number of reasons

Helpers all enjoy volunteering and meeting really nice customers who come along and enjoy our picnic areas whilst watching their children play on the well equipped outdoor play areas, including from our decking area adjacent to the Coffee Shop.

The menu is being extended all the time and there are frequent compliments on the quality of the range. You can purchase anything from 10p biscuits and 20p lollipops to a wide range of coffees and home made cakes. In addition to our paninis, we’ve introduced a range of sandwiches, made to order, and popular snacks.

The Coffee Shop is recognised as a bike friendly venue by Cycling UK and also see www.haltoncentre.org/2015/08/centre-welcomes-cyclists/
