The Willows Café is at the heart of the community and is a welcoming safe space for everyone to come and have a hot meal, meet people and find out what is going on in the local community. It is a friendly and bustling meeting place offering home-cooked food to generate income for Willow Burn Hospice.
The cafe is open, Monday to Friday 10:00am - 2:30pm. We serve tasty home cooked food, with a varied menu of breakfasts, lunches, snacks, hot meals and drinks. Monthly theme afternoons have been extremely popular and are always sold out. This all makes it a very varied place to volunteer.
