What is News Cafe?
News Cafe is a high street cafe, cocktail bar and entertainment venue that challenges the average perception of service, by offering a unique, relaxed and entertaining dining experience, created by dedicated professionals. News Cafe - it's about the food, it's about the crowd, it's about the drinks and it's definitely about the vibe.
Our Philosophy
We are guest-focused and service driven. Our primary focus is the reason we are in the food service industry - to make sure our guests are excited about the service they receive. Our vision is to be the best, not the biggest. Although we benchmark on guest averages, it is more important to us to have guests that are thrilled with the experience when they leave, and to be sure they'll keep on coming back.
