凍檸啡
Our iced Lemon Espresso Tonic has proven to be a refreshing lifesaver for our customers during this heatwave.🔆 . While espresso tonic is very on-trend, our inspiration goes decades back, and far, far away from Kennet Island.
🍋
The iced lemon tea is a very popular drink, emanating from Hong Kong's diner (chachanteng / 茶餐廳 ) culture. A less well-known drink is its cousin, iced lemon coffee. Intrigued by this seeming incongruous combination, we had to try it, and were blown away by how good it is. In our version, there is a shot of the homemade brown sugar syrup to counteract the bitterness, and we have used bubbles.
🍋
You should try it!

This new special is probably the most asked accidentally asked for sandwich. Seeing the Corrie Wrap on the menu, many have asked for the coronation chicken, only to be told that it is actually chickpeas and not chicken. Well...we have finally got round to making a chicken version.

The origin story: A Royal Celebration
The dish was created in 1953 to celebrate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The creation is credited to Constance Spry, a celebrated floral decorator and author, and Rosemary Hume, a founding principal of the Le Cordon Bleu cookery school in London. They were tasked with catering the luncheon for the Queen's foreign guests following the coronation service.

In our version:
🥪Curried Coronation Chicken
🥪Fresh Sliced Red Onions
🥪Lettuce
🥪Spicy Gathia - popular Indian snack - for extra crunch
🥪Seeded Sourdough Bread

The fillings are free of gluten-containing ingredients. Selecting the gluten-free bread option would make this suitable for those who choose to avoid gluten-containing ingredients.

This is great news. After a tricky negotiation with the landlords, Dee Caf has struck an agreement to remain in place. At a crucial meeting, Tina brought along her MP, Olivia Bailey, who helped secure a good deal.

Last year, Reading Buses eliminated the Ruby Route 10 that runs through Kennet Island, leaving residents with a significantly poorer bus service. However, along with other residents, we contacted our Whitley Ward Councillors (Micky Leng, Rachel Eden, Alice Mpofu-Coles) and our MP, Yuan Yang. Together, we successfully lobbied Reading Buses to introduce an improved bus service for Kennet Island.

Why do we bring this up? We often hear that politics is pointless or not relevant. Or "what have they ever done for us anyway?" This is not true. Local and national politicians work for us. If you have an issue, reach out to them for help.

They cannot do everything, but they can do some things. Don't just vent on social media - contact them.

UPDATE….

Hey beautiful people, as many of you already know we’ve been going through a lot in our little corner of Dee Park. For the last year or so I’ve been trying to negotiate a contract with our new landlord, it’s been stressful. Original proposals meant that we would’ve had to give the place up because they saw us as a commercial unit. With bills etc going up, it was a tough decision, even took on to try and support Dee Caf.

So a couple weeks ago, came along to our final meeting with our landlord to try and negotiate something we could afford and keep doing good stuff. Olivia was incredible to watch, she took over from me when I was just too tired to fight and we came out with a much better deal, so we’re hoping to stay for at least another 5 years! Just waiting for the contract…. Whoop! Whoop!

It’s been a lot but just want to say thank you to our customers, MP Olivia Bailey for coming to our rescue, Phil and Shu and Breege for your advice, Kai for being a constant support, Miller and the kids for the hugs love and time.

We’re taking a break, closed this Sunday. Going to hang out with friends for a fun ska weekend at Come and join us, celebrate! And it’s all for a good cause too https://specializedproject.com/events/specialized-reading-2/

It’s been a battle but the people have won!

Peace out ✌🏽
