Weston-super-Mare Town Council is delighted to announce the appointment of a new café operator ahead of the much-anticipated reopening of the Old Town Quarry.

Following a robust and competitive public tender and procurement process, the café at the Old Town Quarry will now be operated and managed by The Food Hub (WSM) Limited, an award-winning, family-run business with deep roots in Weston-super-Mare.

Founded in 2011 as a small street food start-up, The Food Hub has grown into a thriving hospitality, catering, and events company. Over the past decade, it has built a reputation for creating innovative and sustainable food, beverage, and entertainment experiences, while maintaining a strong commitment to community engagement.

Directors of The Food Hub, both long-standing Weston residents with more than 30 years experience in the hospitality sector, are passionate about bringing people together through good food, great service, and inclusive events. The business is committed to sustainability, accessibility, and supporting local suppliers, producers, and growers.

Under their management, the café at the Old Town Quarry will introduce an exciting new menu, including:

  • Breakfast – Locally sourced, ethically produced ingredients, with options for all dietary requirements, including vegan and vegetarian.
  • Lunch – Simple, high-quality sharing platters and small plates.
  • Afternoon Tea – A classic afternoon tea experience with home-baked cakes.
  • Pop-Up Themed Evenings – Celebrating local ingredients and showcasing global flavours, in support of the Quarry's arts and events programme.

Cllr Ciaran Cronnelly, Leader of the Council, said:

"Weston Town Council remains committed to supporting arts and culture in Weston-super-Mare, and the redevelopment and reopening of the Old Town Quarry is an integral part of that vision. The Old Town Quarry is a much-loved community asset, and we have worked closely with residents to ensure its character and environment are preserved. The appointment of The Food Hub marks an exciting new chapter, and we look forward to working with them to enhance the café experience for both residents and visitors."

Final preparations are now underway, with opening dates and times to be announced in the coming weeks as redevelopment works near completion.
