There will be a Shareholders’ Meeting on Thursday 4 December at 7.30pm in our new home, the Corner House (Morris room), both to update shareholders on our present position and for a preliminary discussion of the future of the business. 

Anyone who might like to become a director, whether or not a shareholder, is invited to attend the meeting and stand for election.  Please contact Rod Evans on rod@charlburydeli.cafe for an initial discussion.  Likewise anyone who might like to join our current 'advisory board'.

So many lovely comments coming in from customers, old and new!  It's really taking off, some finishing touches still needed - and shelves clearing so please keep coming - even I am being badgered about Christmas...

Two small requests - a free coffee at least for anyone who can teach me how to use Mailchimp more effectively (and a general IT helper/advisor could be useful) and...

I know that parking is a vexed issue - but could we leave this thread as just for the D & C and argue about roads and parking in the Roads section, where it should be?  See especially the thread on Parking Restrictions affecting local Businesses...  I can't say any more here now can I?!

And by all means let us have feedback on info@charlburydeli.cafe or write to me personally at rod@charlburydeli.cafe.

Goodness what a transformation crossing the road has made to the Deli.  It has such a cosy and welcoming vibe, which will make you want to linger to buy little delicacies and treats, when time allows.  I only picked up a delicious coffee on my way to work, but will look forward to relaxing there, when time allows.  Well done to ALL THE TEAM that made it happen.

I understand the publicans across the road intend to take over the previous Deli premises. Maybe they can then move the food storage fridges from their car parking area and then restore their parking area back to the 15 spaces that was there before thus adding seven spaces to the massive need of parking spaces needed in downtown Charlbury.

I wanted to be first through the door this morning, and I was successful! I had a lovely Bacon Roll and Coffee Breakfast, and it was a great way to start the day. Thank you very much to Geraldine, Laura and all the others who have worked so hard to give us this wonderful asset. 

I shall be back ... as I hope will everyone in Charlbury!

Hear hear!  There's a real air of excitement about it all:  a great step forward.  From the Corner House perspective we're so pleased to have the building more fully used .. and so very much in keeping with its history.

More good things will follow -- in particular the Morris Room upstairs will become a lovely space in two or three weeks' time to enjoy a (take-away) coffee or whatever and to read a book or magazine as you do so.

Mission (almost) impossible completed with flying colours ! Cosy for the winter and it will be beautiful in the garden when weather permits. Well done all those involved.

Absolutely wonderful effort! Congratulations to all concerned. It is a fine, comfy and friendly space and all light and airy. Well done!

                     COR BLIMEY GUV’NOR, WE’VE ONLY BEEN AN’ GORN AN’ DONE IT! 

Yes folks, remember, remember the 5^th of November

Coffee, fridges and flowerpot

(well you try finding a rhyme for

Gunpowder, treason and plot!).

 Your very own Deli and Café is re-opening as planned tomorrow morning in the Corner House! 

 We might call it cosy – meaning smaller premises but we think you’ll like them.  Lots still to do so bear with us, reduced menu etc for now but no beans gone missing and we’ll be working on it – evolution not revolution as we find out what works, what you like and don’t like etc.  Christmas stock already appearing on the shelves along with all our usual goodies – call in and see, we need your support – and to clear some space!!

 Our thanks must go to the small army – more like a squad, not quite a platoon – of people who have worked really hard to get us to this point, a mention in dispatches at least, perhaps something else (talk to Laura!) as a thank you.

 NB  We’ll get some signs up soon but entrance will be from the rear door – best route off Browns Lane – not the front door for Cornerstone. 

 And as ever, we have been and will continue to be
