Our volunteers have undertaken food hygiene training and the café has been awarded a five star rating. You can also enjoy a friendly chat when you come to see us in the outpatients building or are visiting the Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) or the ward.

This is a major fundraiser for us and all profits go to the League of Friends. Over the years we’ve raised many thousands of pounds. Come along and choose a second-hand book too. We also sell a good range of very reasonably priced greetings cards which are always very popular and our new card display rack helps show them off!

At Christmas we offer a very colourful and popular range of cards so please look out for them as we will be selling them again soon! Last year our tearoom volunteers manned a popular and successful pop-up stand in the outpatients car park.

Our shop is at the front of the outpatients department and a warm welcome will await you when you visit. The café
