Café

Café Tables

Set up in the shop are three tables – so not for a lot of customers at once! However what we do offer is a range of drinks and open sandwiches and salads based on anything that we sell in the deli counters plus other daily specials. Also our own variety of meze/tapas plates – meats, cheeses, marinated vegetables, salads, breads in the middle of the table for all to share.

Teas

We offer an honest down-to-earth pot of tea – good Typhoo with freshly boiled water and a warmed pot, or if you prefer something more exotic...
Teafusion teas
We have chosen a Cotswold based loose tea company, Teafusion, to supply a wonderful range of teas. Though they have a range of over 100 teas we have restricted ourselves to 6 loose and 3 in pouches currently.

Teafusion is passionate about bringing hand picked teas directly from growers around the world and hand blending them into unique and delicious tea blends using locally sourced ingredients from within the Cotswolds where possible, such as summer and winter fruits, flowers and herbs. Teafusion is also committed to being a sustainable and ethical business by working closely with the 'Ethical Tea Partnership' and global tea artisans who are directly contributing back into the tea farming communities they work with.

Coffee

Our coffee is Brazilian 100% Arabica from the Brazilian Specialist Coffee Association imported by a small firm, Café Origin. Freshly ground for each cup it is a reasonably strong but not bitter coffee, and we have programmed our machine to give us a reasonable strength café latte and a stronger shorter cappuccino. We also offer expresso and macchiato.
