The Willow Tree Coffee & Kitchen

19/02/2025

Our partnership with Ashbrooke Sports Club was planned to come to an end on February 28th. However, due to building works taking place right outside our cafe and in the kitchen, we have made the difficult decision to close today as it does not meet food safety standards.

What a journey it’s been! We’ve loved serving our community, providing training opportunities, and being part of such a fantastic space.

While Ashbrooke Sports Club is a great venue, it wasn’t quite right for us, so we’ve made the tough decision to move on to pastures new. While this chapter is closing, we’re incredibly excited about what’s next—and we can’t wait to share our future plans with you soon!

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us so far. Stay tuned for updates, and as always, we appreciate your continued support!

In the meantime if you’re looking for your NEapolitan Pizza or Posh Pink Slice fix, then you’ll find us, and our van Peggy at local food and drink events
