Take-away
Cafe in the Park has a take-away counter where you can queue without having to go onto the cafe. This was originally an ice cream counter seliing lollies and ice creams (including soft whippy cones).
This has expanded and you now can buy hot tea and coffee, soft drinks, crisps, chocolate, chips and hot dogs / sausages in rolls.
This is great for mum and dad wanting a hot drink while watching the kids play on the new play park.
Tables and chairs are provided on the grass opposite for take -away customers (very popular when bands are performing on the bandstand).
