The AP Allotments Cafe

HELLO ALL!

It is time to introduce ourselves to all you plotholders at Ally Pally Allotments.

Our names are Cressida and Nadia. We have bravely decided to run the cafe every last SUNDAY of the month (except the 1st one) at 11–1pm. We have given our cafe a name – see above. To start with we will serve hot drinks and cakes to break us in and when we get more confident we will do lunches! Come and join us if you can on these dates:

1st November

29th November

December – None

January – None

February – none

28th March

25th April

30th May

From Sally, Saturday 18 July 2026

When Annie and I started the Cafe on 7th July 2013, we didn't imagine we would keep on until now, rain or shine,  with the wonderful Cafe Team who have joined us along the way, that's Jill, Pam, Evelyn, Hilary, Helen, Jane, Sally S, Ros, Liz S, Liz W and the other Liz S, and Annie's daughter Beth.   With occasional  blips - the gas running out half way through the cafe, no water in December, Covid, and all - it has been such a lovely sociable event!  
But the time has come to call it a day, and Nadia and Cressida have bravely offered to take over the running of the Cafe.  So it's not goodbye to the Cafe, it's the start of something new!!  

There will be no Cafe in August but on September 6th we shall run a  Cafe coffee morning with coffee, tea, cakes and snacks, from 11.00am to 12.30, during which the shop will be open too as usual. Cressida will join us for that and find out more about the running of the cafe.  Thereafter Nadia and Cressida plan to run some more coffee mornings and work up to serving lunches.  They will keep you posted. 

So a very big Thank You to Nadia and Cressida, and a big Thank You to all our loyal clientele who I know will be supporting Cressida and Nadia as they develop the new Brand!!!

Sally, Annie and the Cafe Team🥰
