Café

Hot & cold food and drinks are available at Chester’s café, which serves to people inside the play centre or in the HUB entrance itself. 

Whilst mainly catering for Chester’s Den, the café has played an important role in some of the other session’s run by the trust such as Camp Inspire where they provided approximately 2,000 meals throughout the summer of 2003 for children who usually receive free school meals.

The café also has regular customers who have gone on to join other sessions run by the Trust, such as Senior Spireites, which offers over-55s both physical exercise and social inclusion.
