Sometimes I’m reminded that, like countless other small businesses, we rely so much on the goodwill, generosity and expertise of others.  We’ve had so much help and support establishing and building Cafe Allez! and I hope all those who’ve played a part know how grateful we are.  Here is a prime example: Rosie (Mum, to me!) giving up her Sunday to join the team at last weekend’s Leicester Wedding Network Fair at the racecourse.  It’s massively appreciated…  Mark.

It’s the Rutland Food & Drink Festival on Sunday 29th October … this’ll be a fabulous day out in Oakham, Rutland. Head to the Castle for the best coffee around, or for a warming hot chocolate, refreshing tea or well-earned slice of cake, from Cafe Allez! We hope to see (and serve you) there … you can find our more about the festival here … https://www.discover-rutland.co.uk/…/rutland-food-and-drink…

Cafe Allez! are pleased to announce that we’ve joined the Leicester Wedding Network as a recommended supplier.  This is a superb one-stop-shop if you’re planning a wedding in the area.  The network covers all aspects of your big day and you can be sure of professional service and, in many cases, special discounts, from all of the member firms.

Follow the Leicester Wedding Network’s Facebook page to stay up to date, or their website is : http://www.leicesterweddingnetwork.co.uk/

And to meet many of the members in person, why not head to the LWN Wedding Fair at Leicester Racecourse:  Sunday 15th October, 11am to 3pm.  Guess who’ll be serving the coffee?

Cafe Allez! are thrilled to announce that we’ll be supplementing the already excellent catering provisions at this Sunday’s Belvoir Blast cycling sportive.  Based at the event HQ at Hose Village Hall, we’ll be there to provide great coffee for riders and their supporters throughout the day, ensuring the caffeine levels required to complete the 28, 58 or 100 mile courses.

As cyclists ourselves and Vale of Belvoir residents, we are proud to be associated with this event, where the emphasis is on great riding, scrumptious cakes at the refreshment stops and a good day out.  Especially as it’s organised by 2 Wheels And A Piece of Cake, who are playing a major role in encouraging more women into our great sport.

And if you want to be a part of it, (lads as well as lasses this time), it’s not too late … details here, with online entries open until midnight on Weds. 20^th …
