On 14 April 2026 a new The Pod Café opened its doors.

When The Pantry closed at the end of 2025, the message from our community was loud and clear – people wanted to keep a café at The Pod. It’s more than just a place to grab a coffee; it’s a space for connection, conversation, and belonging.

The new ‘Café at The Pod’ operates Tuesday to Friday, 10am – 2pm, offering a relaxed and friendly space for the community to gather.

Hot Soups are available daily over the winter months, and the cabinet has a great selection of sweet and savoury items to enjoy alongside your delicious Vanguard Coffee.

Outside of those hours the space is available for hire – check out the Pod Hire / Venue Hire tab for more information.
