SPRINGBROOK STORE, CAFÉ & BAR UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP Once again the Springbrook store, café and bar has reinvented itself and that is good news for the local community. We are delighted to wish local residents, friends and business partners Starrene and Glenn along with Tim and Hazel, every success in their new venture.
SMOKETOPIA & SOCIALISING Tim is a master of the low slow cooked bbq, specialising in smoked meats which has given rise to his signature Smoketopia brand. On Friday nights, pulled pork burgers and other goodies are on offer providing a chance to socialise after a busy week and to relax with a drink. This has been very popular with locals and is a boon for visitors to the mountain who are looking for somewhere to have an evening meal. Also on Sunday afternoons the wood fired BBQ is fired up and the mouth-watering aromas drift across the Purlingbrook area. This is already being well patronised, so if you want to socialise with your neighbours or meet new friends, this is the place to be.

They have rolled up their sleeves and launched into the hospitality industry with energy and enthusiasm. The renewal of this very important local service has been embraced by all, once again providing certainty of opening hours and a friendly meeting place for both locals and visitors. Such a venue is always important in a small community like ours and it is pleasing to see the support that has been forthcoming. It also provides another opportunity for local employment which is always beneficial, especially for those wanting the flexibility of part time work. Once again providing a variety of grocery items along with milk and bread, locals can once again top up their supplies without a trip to the coast which is very useful at this time. The café menu provides sit down meals along with takeaway and there is something for everyone, including the specialty pies which have become very popular, bringing compliments from several pie afficionados! Being licensed, you can also order a drink with your meal, which very civilised. Check out the menu elsewhere in this issue and if you haven’t already popped in to say hello to the friendly staff, do yourselves a favour! Pam Hall
