In describing the new menu, Paul noted “Our heritage as streetfood traders brings a ‘freshly baked & brewed’ café, serving cakes, pastries and breakfasts, freshly made on site, around a bistro offer focused on high quality streetfood, with a strong contemporary twist.”

The team are looking to build a destination for customers from across the region, with its urban-rural setting on the edge of Linmere. “A great menu needs a great atmosphere and as well as making the best of this fantastic space, both inside and out, we’ll be frequently hosting local bands to build on the energy.”

Paul added: “We’d be happy to hear from local bands looking for an audience and a great space to play, so please get in touch.”

Linmere Development Director, Ben Phillips, added: “The Farmstead is a very important part of the Linmere community development, and we’ve invested a lot of effort to find the right team to deliver the café offer. Paul runs several venues around the region and knows the local and regional customer, so it was the right fit from the start.”
