Farewell to the Vine Road Community Café – November 2025 update

We are sorry to say that our Pop Up Community Cafe has now closed its doors. John Ainger has provided refreshments again for just over two years from the pavilion building, but with the growth of the Barnes Common team, John has decided his operation is not practical for just two weekend days and feels it is the right time to withdraw.

His friendly team and simple operation will be greatly missed, but we can all look forward to when our purpose built cafe opens in the new Hub building when the exciting Vine Road development takes place.
