The Over 60s Tea Room at the side entrance of the Town Hall in the High Street is run by volunteers as an informal café for older people to meet up and chat.
We are now open every weekday 10am-3pm. We serve a variety of hot beverages at 50p a cup as well as squash and other drinks. Biscuits and sometimes cake are sold at reasonable prices but customers are welcome to bring their own food.
We have been able to refurbish the tea room recently thanks to the support of local organisations who also helped us to pay for the necessary hand sanitisers and hygiene measures. For more information click below to see our Facebook page.
