Not only are we state-of-the-art and fabulous-looking, but we’re a not for profit community café supported by volunteers. This means that we’re able to keep our prices low and reinvest the money we make into the café and our community, allowing us to provide local activities, support volunteers and promote health and wellbeing. We buy local produce where possible and everything in the café is made from scratch.

We want to be at the heart of the community and offer various activities for people to get involved in. From encouraging people to get active in Bordon Inclosure, to our plans for a ‘Food Academy’ cooking school for kids – there are lots of activities planned.

Since opening the doors in April 2018 the café has created a number of jobs for local people. The new café offers a place to deliver Radian’s work in Bordon as one of the NHS’s 10 Healthy New Towns across the country. Our aim is for it to become a valuable social hub, helping to bond and develop the new community in Bordon.

A bit of history

A competition to come up with a name for the café, attracted hundreds of suggestions. We chose the date which represents a link to the history of the area.

Many of the barrack buildings in Bordon were named after land battles that were part of the Battle of Quebec, which took place in 1759 between the British and the French. This seemed the perfect fit for the new café, which is situated between two historic barrack blocks.
