Winter Opening Times 2012-13

Yes it’s that time of year again, when the nights draw in and we all head indoors to escape the weather.

 

The Foundry is now open:

10am-10pm Mon-Fri

10am-8pm Weekends

 

This also means that the Cafe has re-opened and is serving a range of hot/cold snacks and meals.

Claire has adapted the menu to offer a wider choice of healtier and vegetarian options, but for those wanting the trusted climbing staples Bacon Butties are still firmly at the top of the menu.

Remember the Cafe also has free WiFi, so beat the traffic by heading straight down after work and relaxing with Facebook and a Latte or slice of Homemade Cake whilst you wait for your climbing partners.
