Badger & Bean

No idea how it happened but we are now at the last bank holiday before Christmas 😮😮😮

On the plus side that means you have 2 days to get out famous brunch menu…
Sweet & savoury bagels. Eggs Benny, smoothies, great coffee & teas and a fully stocked cake cabinet.

Full brunch menu served Sunday 25th and Monday 26th 10am - 2pm.

Look forward to seeing you all soon!

After getting our coffee offering sorted, our next task was to “up” our tea game… it’s taken a while to find the right supplier but after much searching we are thrilled to announce our collaboration with premium tea brand twistteas

Their hand blended teas and tissanes are fabulous & have won several great taste awards.

Why not try 247, Twist’s “breakfast tea” which can be enjoyed 24/7. Rich, robust and full bodied in flavour, it’s more than a match for “that” well known brand!

Our ‘dog’ of the week goes to two cutie 🥧

Wow … what a week!!

It’s been a hectic one, a hot one (finally) and one that has had its trials and tribulations with amongst other things, COVID paying us a visit 😷

The team have been AMAZING and I couldn’t be more proud of the way that they have pulled together, looked after each other and worked hard to ensure the cafe continued to run as it should.

Next week will also be challenging as we have both planned staff holidays & continued illness.

Tomorrow we will operate a reduced menu during both breakfast and lunch to keep our kitchen running smoothly with the smaller team.

Thank you for your continued patience and your understanding - it really is appreciated & we have the BEST customers 🫶🫶🫶

We’ll be back to full strength very soon!

🤒

If you are planning on visiting us this weekend, please be patient.

The team will be doing their best to give you fabulous service that you’ve come to expect but due to holidays and sickness we are short staffed.

Give them a smile and remember a kind word goes a long way 😊

Thank you for your understanding!

“If you ever hear me order a decaf, I’ve been kidnapped & I’m trying to signal to you..!”

Despite me not understanding the point of decaf, many of you love it. We didn’t want you miss out on great flavour so we asked Howden Coffee to supply our own Badgers Blend Decaffeinated beans.

Also available for you to takeaway in retail bags of ground coffee.

P.s I’ve tried it and could be converted ☕️
