A Different Brew
Tea Room & Store

Originally opened in 2013 as a cafe, refurbished in 2021 becoming the Tea Room & small gift shop.

The Tea Room & Shop are run for and by the 'guys' that attend B.O.L.D. where they learn a range of independence and working skills which they can use in their daily lives.

The Tea Room

The tea room serves a range of light refreshments from home made cakes, sandwiches made to order, soup of the day, paninis, bagels and so much more.

The drinks menu continues to grow and includes a range of teas as well as traditional, for coffee lovers anything from a Latte to a Cappuccino or maybe a hot chocolate is more your flavour!!

The Store

Like the cafe, the store was changed in the refurbishment and brought into the tea room.

The 'guys' in our workshop department make, restore and upcycle furniture and other items for the store. All the chairs in the tea room have been restored by the 'guys' and we often have chairs for sale!!

Craft Supplies

A wonderful lady donated lots of craft supplies, which are now in our store. So pop along and see the amazing range we stock (Although, once it's gone, it's gone). Crafting for every ocassion.

From cuttings and seeds to the shop and kitchen.

We continuously work to develop our site to growing our own Plants & produce. From shrubs and flowers to fruit, we are growing them all. Some for sale, others to make our own jams and chutneys, which we will use in the Tea Room. This department is expanding as we build on our sustainability for the charity's future.
