We are a 'pop-up' cafe, kindly hosted by The Starting Gate pub, every Wednesday between 2-4pm. Run entirely by local volunteers, we serve homemade cakes, biscuits, tea, coffee and squash. We also bring board games, newspapers, colouring and crafts.
Everyone is welcome at the community cafe. Please join us for cakes and other lovely treats. But mainly join us for community!!! We love chatting and seeing you all mingling. We are getting between 40-70 guests a week now, so come out of your comfort zone and engage with us. We have LOVELY people here.

"I started volunteering at Speen Community Cafe in November 2021. I love meeting people who live in my neighbourhood, I've met a lot of people that I've never seen before, but have been living in the next road to them for years! I love being involved in making cakes and serving refreshments. It's great to meet so many lovely people and chat together. The cafe is really building up the sense of community, especially since covid."
