About us

We’re a friendly oasis where you can meet a friend, read a book, or relax with one of our homemade cakes (or two). Our sandwiches are freshly made. And our signature sausage rolls are baked to perfection.

Just passing by? No worries, grab our delicious food or drink on the go. Check out our menu for our latest taste sensations.

But we’re also so much more than tea, coffee and cake.

We’re here for the community. Our fabulous volunteers are always ready to have a natter over a cuppa. And they organise regular events to bring our community together.

We are passionate about making changes in the café that positively impact climate change. Our community pantry is just one of the ways we’re tackling food waste and supporting our community to access fresh food at a fraction of the cost. Check out the community pantry page for more info.

We’re supported by Abri, one of the south of England’s largest housing providers.

10 Years of Round About Café

We recently celebrated our 10th birthday and wanted to share some of the exciting things we've gotten up to since we opened.

From hosting music lessons, cookery classes and crafternoons to being in a local show, celebrating D-Day and opening a pantry, all working closely with our partners and Mansbridge to build what has become a warm, welcoming hub for the community.

We spoke to some of our partners over the years, those that have been involved in creating this community and of course our wonderful regulars.

We like to annually round up our achievements so you can see all the brilliant things we get up to. Grab a cuppa and read all about our years at the Round About Café.
