PW Community Coffee Shop

We are very grateful to have had one of our coffee machines donated to us by Primech Building Services.

We have also started to make and sell bacon and sausage baps

Our coffee beans are freshly ground and are always purchased from ethical, sustainable and charitable companies. We are currently using...
GRIND - A shoreditch company who support the reduction of coffee waste ending up in the ocean.
Cakes
Are purchased from local small business bakers Bakeaboo Bakes and Cakezilla.
We want to support our PW cake makers with regular orders.
Bacon and Sausages
Are purchased from the Paddock Wood Pomfret Butchers, again in order to support a local business

These times can be dependent on the availability of volunteers and staff. The more volunteers that we have for a 2 hour shift, the more hours we can offer coffee for! So sign up if you like to chat to our local residents!
