Feel Good, Do Good - at The Brightwell Café

As the winter weather continues, we’ve been adding some delicious winter warmer dishes to the menu at The Brightwell Café.

As many of us start the new year with aims to improve our health, we have been extending our menu to include hearty and nourishing meals with a focus on increasing the number of vegetables, wholegrains, and legumes we use. These foods are great sources of fibre and plant-based proteins, which are beneficial for our gut microbiomes as well as being anti-inflammatory in nature.

Recent additions include a wonderful Vegetable Stew – packed with a variety of fresh vegetables and lentils, served with wholegrain rice – you can even swap to cauliflower rice if you are watching your carbs or just if you want to get even closer to your 5-a-day! Or how about trying our latest Chickpea and Spinach Curry – another great way to keep out the cold on a chilly day.

Of course, we still offer all your regular favourites – freshly-made sandwiches and jacket potatoes with a variety of fillings (you can also ask to swap for plant-based spread instead of butter if you are being mindful of calories). Paula has also been extending her range of delicious homemade soups served with a crusty roll and butter (if you’d prefer no bread, sliced bread, gluten-free bread or plant-based spread, just ask!).

We want to ensure that the café has something for everyone – we also have a lovely range of cakes and sweet treats too (from a Bristol-based artisan bakery as well as a local baker) – perfect with a cuppa.

So, whether you stop by for a sandwich or a hearty stew, or even just pop in for a coffee and a piece of cake, we would love to see you. Paula and her wonderful volunteers are always happy to help, and, of course, every penny from items sold at the Brightwell Café goes back to the charity and helps to keep the service running.

Don’t forget, if you are coming in for a treatment, you can always pre-order your food. Tel 01454 201686.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
