Helen said they’ve had “amazing feedback from the residents of the extra care team” saying “we have brought the place alive”.
The bistro is not just open to those who live or work within the facility – anyone can visit the café.

Executive Director of Customers and Communities at Community Gateway Association, Louise Mattinson, said: “We are delighted to see the opening of the Top Bistro Café at The Atrium and are thrilled with the positive response it has received, not just from residents but also the wider community.
“The café is an important and welcome addition to our Extra Care Scheme and we look forward to seeing it become a popular spot for everyone to enjoy.”
The café is open from 9.30am-5pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 9.30am – 2pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays and from 9.30am – 1.30pm on Saturdays. Takeaway service is also available.
It is closed on Mondays and Sundays, apart from on the last Sunday of every month when they open to do a Sunday lunch.
