We would love to welcome you to the Beacon Community Cafe. We are open for breakfast, lunch, cakes and really great coffee Tuesday- Saturday 9AM until 2PM.
At the Beacon Community Café, we serve good quality, nutritious and delicious food that’s also extremely good value for money. It is run by qualified staff and supported by many dedicated volunteers. We are also committed to training two young people from the local area each year. The Beacon café is more than food ; it is a community. Every visitor to our café is included, welcomed and provides crucial support towards the Beacon becoming a place of learning and training.
If you want to find out more about what we do, or or find out more about volunteering then please feel to pop in for a chat or to email info@gorebridgebeacon.org.uk.
