We had a surprise visitor in the café this week…

It was lovely to meet someone who is so passionate about Calderdale and actively promotes small businesses in our area. We need more people like Andy. 🍳🥓

With the way the world is at the moment, hospitality is struggling, and hundreds of people up and down the valley are supported by our sector. 💛

So please give the A&A Team a follow - and try to spend your money at all the places he mentions, good and “meh” 😊
