*Changes to our Cafe Service*

Wednesday 12th October marks our 3rd year anniversary in Cwmbran Town Centre.  Thank you to each and every one of you who has helped my little business grow during this time.

My team have worked tirelessly to build the popularity of our cafe and thanks to our loyal customers, this now keeps us so busy that we often struggle to run our keepsake business from the same premises.

As you all know, I am extremely passionate about our keepsakes and paint your own pottery service.  This is where it all began for me 6 years ago when I started taking your children’s prints from my kitchen table. What I don't admit very often is that I do struggle to juggle two very busy businesses with my own family.  The next 3 months are the busiest in our keepsake calendar and I'm already finding it difficult to fit in everyone who would like to order with us in time for Christmas.  This year I had planned to get out on the road more with our mobile keepsake service but I am so busy with the cafe that I am not going to manage it.  

I strive to offer exceptional service all of the time but it is impossible when both of our businesses are so busy, even with such an amazing team.  I have exciting new products that I am desperate to show you in the New Year, and I’d like to enjoy more time to develop existing ideas such as our paw print service.  So that I can give it my best, I have decided to make a change.  

From Saturday 15th October, we will no longer be offering our food menu.    We will continue to sell coffee, snacks & refreshments for customers who are painting pottery, making keepsakes, or simply popping in for a cuppa and a play.  Our free toddler play area will remain the same and our Happy Hands classes will be unaffected (although you will probably find it more spacious).  We will continue to cater our birthday parties and will enjoy having more time to add the special touches to your Festive Afternoon Teas (booking is essential) 

By reducing the demand on our kitchen, staff will be available to offer a more helpful service to pottery painters, there will be increased appointment availability and we can create a more relaxing environment for all of our customers.

Thank you all for your understanding and ongoing support.  If you have any questions about these changes, please don’t hesitate to contact us on 01633 406406 or email shop@lollipopsandladybirds.co.uk
