Our friendly Barista will still be in to make coffees and serve you some amazing cakes until 3pm. As we know, in this weather, a hot chocolate and rich warm mud cake with cream is a cure all!

If you’re still looking to get your Chef It fix tonight, you’ll find our chefs back in the Van located at the Macleay Community Hall. Serving up cult classics and some new creations. (This will be a face to face service, we will not be taking phone orders.)
