the story so far....

It started with a bubble of an idea, imagine if we could create a place where people could come, a place where they could connect with themselves and one another. A place that served gorgeous food and perfectly extracted coffee… That bubble grew when we stumbled upon a disused bowls pavilion nestled in Calverley Grounds Adventure Playground, the fire inside was lit and finally in December 2019 we unlocked the doors and welcome our community in.

But then the Covid storm hit and soon we were sat on a roller-coaster ride that no one asked to join! Juggling new legislation, changing hospitality rules and desperately trying to keep the business and the community alive the journey was hard but the desire to succeed stronger!

Somehow we made it through, a little battered around the edges, looking a little different to when we started but tougher and more resilient with a real passion to succeed and continue on our journey!

So today we are still here, fuelling our community with nutritious and homemade food, caffeinating adults with the local Tunbridge Wells Roastery beans and committed to creating memories and serving our fabulous customers.

Our little space has been crafted with the adult in mind, in colder times you will find hand warmers and gloves to keep fingers cosy, in warmer months there’s sun cream on hand and slide mats when the playground gets slightly too hot to handle! At Easter, Halloween and Christmas we transform our space and put on our infamous playground hunts - so whether you are searching out eggs, cracking clues on our pumpkin trail or working out which gingerbread is on the naughty or nice list we like to think we’re putting a little extra PLAY into playground!

But you don’t have to have mini feet with you to enjoy our space! We welcome all ages in and certainly don’t discriminate against those who don’t want to ride the tractor or make sandcastles! Pop in, grab a warming chai latte or cooling organic smoothie and then head into Calverley Grounds and be surrounded by our glorious nature!
