The Hornbeam Centre is organised and run by its users. Named after the locally renowned hornbeam tree, the Centre provides a base for local food and environmental education projects, and a space for people to find out what’s going on locally and how to get involved.

Been to the Hornbeam Café yet?

The Hornbeam café serves fresh wholesome vegetarian food and provides a friendly place to stop for lunch or coffee and cake on Wednesday to Friday or on Saturday after buying your weekly supply of veg at the market stall. The café, like the stall, promotes food that’s local, organic, vegetarian and reflects the different cuisines of the borough. Our chefs use the organic fruit and veg from the market stall for their fresh seasonal dishes every week.

We are always looking for more people to get involved and volunteer to help keep the cafe open, vibrant and growing.Get in touch if you have time to give, skills to share and the energy and enthusiasm to help make the café a thriving local venue. We would also like to work with other community groups to make better use of the Hornbeam’s great kitchen facilities. Contact us if you have an idea you’d like to share.
