Cafe Afloat

Looking for work? We are looking for a new hire. Experience preferred. You’ll be an excellent communicator, proactive, able to multitask and provide great service to customers.

This role is predominantly Wednesday to Friday 8:30 till 3:30 plus occasional weekends to cover holiday. Immediate start available.

Send your cv and we will be in touch with those who we’d like to interview.

Talk like a Pirate Day! This Saturday 19th September.

Due to the changeable weather this event had now been changed to a simple, free to attend event. Celebrating ‘Talk like a Pirate Day’, yes, that’s really a thing, we have;

🏴‍☠️ Sea shanties performed live by local group ‘Severn Landlubbers’ from 1:30pm till 3pm
🏴‍☠️ Fish specials on the menu to enjoy on the quayside

Enjoy some waterside fun for an afternoon.

We have the musical talents of Molly quayside from around 10am this morning singing for the runners as they come by for Worcester half marathon.

Marquee is up but rain looks to be gone for now.

Open till 3:30 today

Tuesday 1st September we will be closed I’m afraid. We have new staff joining but we unfortunately do not have staff to open tomorrow 🫣 i also need to bake like a maniac as we are running out of treats.

See you Wednesday (hope for sunshine).

Well, finally there is rain 🙌🏻, quite a lot of the wet stuff actually.

So, we have decided that we won’t open today because, let’s be honest, you’re not coming out for a bacon butty in this are you?

Online ordering has also been turned off today. Think we might have to join Deliveroo or similar over the winter so for days like this we can reach a larger audience for getting your favourites delivered to your home or work.

We are looking for your help to source great eggs locally. We currently use a wholesaler and have fresh, free range eggs and they are fine but we don’t think they are as good as they could be. Do you know a local Worcestershire egg supplier, who can deliver, that produce really rich tasty eggs?

Please tag them below or send us a link/email/contact. Personal recommendations only - eggs you’ve tried and you know are the best.

From September we will be opening Wednesday to Sunday and the game playing against the weather begins - we all know the rain will be back.

So, it’s that time of year when we lose a lot of our team as they head off for university in September 🫣 this year it’s 4 of the team.

We require 2 members of staff Wednesday to Sunday covered. So, we would like ideally 2 full time Wednesday to Sunday team members. 8:30am till 4:30pm. This would be a year round position. However, we could break the roles down to 2 x Wednesday to Friday and then 2 x weekend staff.

The role consists of working all 3 sections within our cafe on a boat in a rotational system. Barista & drinks, food cooked on a griddle/flat plate primarily and till operation. Therefore some experience within one of the sections would be ideal. Training can be provided. You’ll need to be confident, quick learner, ability to multi task and be customer focused.

If you have applied before please feel free to apply again if you can do the hours and think you could be great on our little team. Email your cv to [email protected] or message via social media. We are very busy so cannot reply to everyone.

Thanks to all the lovely peeps who popped by to see us at Diglis fields today for an ‘on land’ community event. We were serving our homemade cookies (rave reviews) and our classic bacon and/or sausage baps today. We ran out and had to call the boat team for extra supplies of sausages!

We’ve had some late nights as we both have other jobs/businesses and had to bake and prep for catering and today’s lovely event. It’s now sleepy time before a mini catering booking and regular service on the quayside tomorrow.

Thank goodness we like to be busy.

See you all soon and thank you for supporting independent businesses- we love you 🥰
