The cafe is run by volunteers who make home-cooked food to buy at low cost, with takeaway options available – just remember to bring an empty container. There is also free tea, coffee, and biscuits.

Bedford Borough Council’s Family Hubs has worked with housing association BPHA and the Faith In Queen’s Park group to establish the café.
