Well the clocks have gone forward so that can mean only one thing. SUMMER HOURS ARE HERE!!!!!

From Monday the 30th of March we are going to our extended opening for summer. That means longer to enjoy our coffee and treats, then hopefully when this weather breaks, sitting outside soaking up the rays 🌞.

Hours will be:
Monday - Saturday 10:00 - 17:00
Sunday 10:00 - 16:30

Kitchen will close at 15:00

Things really have been busy over winter and we couldn’t be happier all because of the support you have given us at the cafe 😊

Lots happening over Easter so please keep your eyes peeled. We will be open all over the holidays as per usual.

Catch you all soon
Everyone @ Karrie’s

🎅 Not long now until the Santa Run 2025!! 🎅

The event runs from Parc Slip Nature Reserve & Visitor Centre and we will be keeping the cafe open so you can still get all of your warm drinks from us. We will have some sausage or bacon baps on after 3pm if you are feeling peckish too.

The perfect opportunity to get up close and personal with everyone involved including the big man himself. So many amazing vehicles dressed up, an amazing night for the family.

Once the main car park is closed for the Santa run (from 1 ish) there will be parking over at the mini railway across the road.

See you soon
All at Karrie’s
