Integrated Recovery Service - Halton
We welcome you for breakfast and lunch
Our café, the kitchen table, is a not-for-profit business with all money raised going to directly feed our most vulnerable community members.
We provide a comfortable space where everyone is welcome and all are treated equally.
We also have a delicious range of food and drink options for you to enjoy.
Our story
The kitchen table café opened in 2017 as a breakfast club for those in danger of not being able to feed themselves. We quickly grew to provide three-course meals every Friday which cost only a donation of whatever people had.
As lockdown came to an end, people said that the café was one of the things that were greatly missed, and we decided to open full time.
We are so delighted to open our café doors to the whole community!
With the support of Public Health England and the local crime commissioner, we were able to invest in a full-time manager and a top-of-the-range espresso machine. The rest is history!
