Squire’s Garden Centre at Wokingham is to open a new look café bar and enhanced food hal, including a butcher and bakery, in November.

The café bar will have a brand new kitchen allowing a wider range of dishes to be prepared, plus a pizza oven. The seating will have a stylish new look and offer a choice of air-conditioned areas inside, plus a new outside terrace.

The food hall will be extended and updated, offering a choice of everything from store cupboard essentials and fresh fruit and vegetables to cakes and biscuits, as well as local beers, wines and spirits. The focus will still be very much on local produce, with many products sourced from suppliers across Berkshire, Surrey and Hampshire.

In the food hall, JL Butchers is re-locating from its current shop in West Byfleet. Voted ‘Butchers shop of the year’ in the Surrey Life Food & Drink Awards 2019, it is known for its top-quality British meat and great customer service. Cavan Bakery will offer baked goods such as artisan breads, croissants, pastries, cakes, savoury pies and sausage rolls.

Sarah Squire, chairman of Squire’s Garden Centres, said: “Supporting local suppliers has been part of our philosophy for more than 85 years, so I am very pleased to welcome Cavan Bakery and award-winning JL Butchers to Squire’s. I also can’t wait for customers to come and enjoy our new café bar, which will be a great meeting place for the local community.”
