The Starr Cafe
The Starr Café has recently had undergone a complete refit, we’ve had a new kitchen installed, the seating area has been repainted and public wi-fi has been installed.
Having the kitchen refitted has allowed us to set up for take-way food as well as still being able to produce fantastic sit in meals.
The aim of the refit was for The Starr Café to be able to move away from simple breakfasts and fried foods and more into the realm of home cooked meals and healthy options.
We will of course still be offering tasty snack along the lines of pies, rolls and pasties along with new lines including fresh fruit, cereal bars and healthy foods.
We are open Monday - Friday 9.00am - 1.00pm and on a Saturday between 9.00am - 11.00pm (drinks only).
