About Us

A very warm welcome to our family-run, independent café.

We’ve now been open over four years – what a journey it’s been! We’re delighted to now be catering for away days, funerals, and parties of all kinds, including baby showers and even a 101st birthday celebration.

Our art, painting, craft, and flower arranging evenings have really taken off this year, with 20 workshops lined up for 2024/2025. We’ve also raised funds for the local football team, Chums, a number of cancer charities, individuals fundraising for school trips, Appledown Dog Rescue, and many others.

We’ve worked harder than we ever imagined and are proud to now have a fantastic team in place. Our customers – and the wider community we’re so proud to be a part of – have been wonderfully supportive, helping us achieve over 300 five-star reviews. Speaking of five stars, we also received top marks once again in our most recent Food Hygiene rating.

The Hub & Spoke is here to be at the heart of all the communities we serve. We’ve created a warm and welcoming space to meet, eat, drink, and connect – a place where you arrive as a customer and leave feeling good. A lively atmosphere, inviting environment, and good conversation are as important as the food and drinks in our bright, cosy place.

The Wi-Fi here is strong, and we’ve dotted phone chargers around the café … powering your tech while our coffee powers you.

Cyclists, walkers, dog owners (and their well-behaved dogs), remote workers, future electric bike riders, and anyone passionate about local community are especially welcome – you’re all close to our hearts.

All our food and drinks are made with great care, using top-quality ingredients from suppliers we know, like, and trust – people who share our values and love great food as much as we do.

We’re passionate about making sure there’s something for everyone, with a wide range of delicious Gluten-Free, Vegan, and Dairy-Free options across our pizzas, cakes, savouries, soups, and snacks.
