Baby Bean Coffee Kiosk opens at Horsford Recreation Ground

The Baby Bean Coffee Kiosk opened on Monday, July 17 at Horsford Recreation Ground, behind the Village Hall.

It is run by couple Clare Whitmore, 40, and Adam Davies, 31, and they launched the Baby Bean trailer in April 2022, which will continue to go to events.

The pair have also had The Durban Grill trailer since 2015, which serves South African street food and specialises in exotic meats.

They initially had a barista coffee machine inside The Durban Grill, but later decided to split it into two businesses.

The success of the Baby Bean Coffee Co trailer has led to the permanent kiosk in Horsford, where the couple lives, to reach a wider audience.

Mr Davies said: "The public became a lot more aware of the street food scene during the pandemic and since then it has been massive and we have to turn away bookings."

She said: "We wanted to bring something new to the community as there is nothing like this in the area.

"It is a place for people to meet up and socialise or to pop for a coffee on the school run." 

The kiosk is open daily from 8am to 5pm in term time and 9am to 5pm during school holidays and there is some outdoor seating.
