Café on the Common has it all - a stylish interior, delicious food and helpful staff. It’s an exceptional place to be, with stunning views and a fun atmosphere.

What makes us different is that we are a training café, which means we put every penny you spend with us into helping young adults with learning disabilities make the most of their lives.

The café is run by Mission EmployAble, a social enterprise charity founded in 2018. Each year, we take on a team of interns with learning disabilities and give them the skills and confidence to find paid work when they finish their year’s programme with us.

Our interns are hard-working, eager to please and sometimes a bit quirky. They may make the occasional mistake with your order, but please bear with them and be assured that above all, they want you to enjoy your time with us as much as they do.

Dogs must be on a short lead, and are not allowed on the furniture or in the kitchen
