From our family...
Café La Crème has been a family-run business since it was started in 2014 by owner and cake-extraordinaire Sheryl. Although Sheryl is the boss, if you come and see us for a coffee or cake you will also notice some other familiar faces! Daughters Alisha, Alice and Lillie help out on Sundays throughout the year. Another very important member of the team (and one we couldn't do without) is our very own handyman and Number 1 Supporter Murray. You may also meet a rather friendly, furry fellow up at Ranmore Common by the name of George. He is our Hungarian Vizsla with the important job of trying to greet everyone that visits!
...To Yours!
We know the importance of making the most of any time spent with family and friends which is why we pride ourselves on our family-run feel and handmade cakes! We take great care to provide the most delicious range of cakes and traybakes from quality ingredients!
About CiCi
Our 1967 Citroen Hvan - lovingly called CiCi - went under quite a remarkable transformation that took 5 months in total. As you can see from the pictures above, CiCi was originally a gun-metal grey and bare inside. The first step to converting her was to paint her our chosen olive green and cream colour scheme. After that it was off to be fitted!
Fitting CiCi with all the necessary parts for a mobile café took the longest. As seen in the pictures, not only did appliances need to be installed but we also needed to construct shelves, cupboards, storage and worktops!
We have still retained a lot of original features from 1967 including the metal bodywork (minus a new lick of paint), the engine, and the 3-geared gearbox! Safe to say she doesn't travel anywhere in a hurry!
CiCi is self-contained with her own built-in water storage supply, gas/electric powered by a compact, low noise generator. We are fully insured and have all the correct health and Safety qualifications as well as a 5-star Food Hygiene Rating!
