Can you believe it’s almost twenty years since the beginning of our journey? We’ve come far since first setting foot in that abandoned Little Chef in 2004. We’ve lived through setbacks and many unprecedented challenges, especially in the last couple of years. 

But no matter what life throws at us, no matter how hard things get, we are always looking ahead.

And so today, we’re excited to announce that the long-planned modernisation of our facilities starts in one week from Monday 23rd January. It is the first phase of three in a two-year-long programme running up to our Cafe’s 20th anniversary. 

In November 2022 we reviewed Isle of Ely Produce's new variety of chipping potatoes called Babylon for the Chippy Chat magazine. A task we didn't take lightly and one we approached with enthusiasm. Thanks to our many years of chip frying experience, we quickly found the best temperature and ideal cooking time to fry these chips to perfection.
