Formerly a derelict eyesore, owner Colin Ingle has renovated the building to provide a much needed community attraction. As well as the tea and coffee, Colin's menu includes breakfasts, jacket potatoes and afternoon tea. (For full details see the menu tab above)

There is indoor and outdoor seating, and the cafe is a perfect addition to Hunsbury Country Park. Families, dog walkers and ramblers alike can now all enjoy the facilities and pass some time with others in the community.

Very happy to see that the recent price increase hasn't put customers off, in fact we have had the best few weeks- hope that continues and Reform led council dont go ahead with proposed parking charges for park users and cafe users too.
Maybe media news in the BBC East, Radio Northampton and the Chronicle &Echo has helped, in fact I've had cards and letters from people I dont even know.....and offers coming over the phone 😀
