New café opening soon in Little Stoke Park
T
he operator of a new café that is set to open soon within the confines of Little Stoke Park says she is planning to offer a “really great facility for the local community”. Hayley Mannion, who lives just across the road from the park, says she had previously approached the parish council about operating a refreshment kiosk at the site.

Place for two years and, more recently, at Café Nest within the Mothercare store at Cribbs Causeway. The new café will have a children’s area within its large indoor space and, in fine weather, tables will be placed on an outdoor terrace. There are also plans to have guest craft stalls displaying their products from time to time within the café.
GARAGE SERVICES
The venue has underfloor heating and offers free wifi. Toilets and baby changing facilities are available within the community hall building. Arrangements are already in place for local cakemakers to supply the new café and a local baker is being sought to provide bread supplies. Hayley hopes the café will appeal to a wide range of users,
