The Gallery Cafe first opened its doors in 2006 and is St Margaret’s House’s largest in-house community project. As well as offering low-cost vegan dishes, locally-ground coffees, vegan sweet treats, and healthy juices, we also host an exciting programme of live events and monthly art exhibitions from up-and-coming artists. During summer weekends, you can bask in the sunshine on our sun- trap terr

ace and back garden, whilst spending the rest of the year getting cosy inside the cafe with nice music, friendly faces, and access to speedy Wi-Fi. It's also an exciting time for us as we'll be going fully vegan by the end of the year, switching out our dairy milks for plant-based ones!

Dear friends,
We have made the difficult decision to close the Gallery Cafe on Mondays. We will also be closing at 4pm Tuesday-Sunday.
These changes help us focus our resources on the times when the cafe is busiest, while continuing to offer a welcoming and affordable space for everyone who visits St Margaret’s House.

We hope you'll continue to support the cafe Tuesday-Sunday, buy your pre-loved items in Ayoka, and come along to our events, exhibitions and workshops.
By supporting us, you help us maintain our vital work providing creative health opportunities for everyone.

Our latest exhibition is up!

'Second Hand September - We all Repair' is an up-close look at repair: of things, of people and of our communities.

The stories on the walls are as beautiful as the photos so take some time to read them all when you are next in for lunch or a long lazy latte...

We're chatting about the exhibition and all things Repair with Chuck and Sue from at the Opening Event... 6-8pm Thursday 3rd September... Hope to see you there!

It's here! Our brand new Summer menu launches today!

🌍☕ It's World Refill Day!

World Refill Day is all about encouraging simple swaps that help reduce waste and protect our planet. By choosing to reuse rather than rely on single-use items, we can all make a small change that adds up to a big impact.

Did you know you can get a discount on your hot drink when you bring your own reusable cup? It's an easy way to cut down on waste, save a little money and enjoy your favourite brew at the same time.

So next time you pop in, don't forget your favourite cup and join us in celebrating World Refill Day.

Celebrating International Tea Day with a cup that does more than warm your hands!

The tea we serve at our The Gallery Cafe is supplied by Street Tea, an organic tea company with a social mission. All their profits support children living in extreme poverty, making every cup part of something bigger.

Happy International Tea Day 💚
