Welcome Back!
As per Government guidance, we have remained closed for several months now.
So...it is with great pleasure that I can now announce our re-opening!
We will be opening our doors to all from 9am on Saturday 4th July, subject to the introduction of various different safety measures. These can be viewed in full on our 'What's On?' page, Facebook page and around the café.
We are very much looking forward to welcoming you back!
Cafe Newt = Cafe Corsa
Yes - the rumours are true!
Café Newt is changing it's name and becoming...Cafe Corsa!
Over the next few weeks we will be working hard to ensure our name change
runs smoothly, amending our brand to meet the requirements identified.
Please don't worry - we will be keeping everything that you expect when
visiting...great customer service, great food and of course our great coffee!
Children's Menu
After several weeks of deliberating and trialing various items, we would like to introduce you to our new and improved Children's Menu...
Our menu has been designed to suit all needs, catering for the little treats that children like when eating out, as well as providing opportunity for a healthier option.
We are well equipped to support health and dietary need, with meals changed to suit as required - please just speak with a member of staff when ordering.
We hope you, and your children, enjoy all that our new menu has to offer.
Charity Fundraising - Thank you
On the 15th November 2019, the team at Cafe Corsa came together to raise funds for both the 'Little Princess Trust' and 'Children in Need'.
Our Cafe Assistant Faye, and her sister Jeanette, both underwent a hair cut in aid of the 'Little Princess Trust', cutting 30cm from their hair! As well as this we took part in the Children in Need Annual Duck Race Sweepstake.
Because of our fundraising efforts, we are pleased to inform you that we raised a grand total of £141.34! A brilliant amount that is sure to help many children across the country and afar. Thank you!
The Blackmore Vale Taste Awards 2019
Presenting our finalists...the team at Cafe Corsa.
On the Tuesday 5th November, we took the opportunity to attend The Blackmore Vale Taste Awards 2019 at Wincanton Racecourse. We enjoyed a lovely meal and some lovely company, although unfortunately did not bring home the winner's award.
Needless to say, we are extremely proud of the team at Cafe Corsa and the hard work and dedication given to get us into the finals in the first place.
Well done everyone at Cafe Corsa.
