Stroud Independent Coffee Festival
29–31 October 2022

When we heard that a big-bucks chain coffee shop was coming to town, the various independent coffee shops around town got together to promote the high quality alternatives.

There are also various other events including an additional market outside the Sub Rooms, music and coffee cocktails at The Long Table, and more. At Woodruffs there will be:

As well as our usual organic dark roast coffee, you can try an alternative one from local roasters Golden Sheep. Perfect with our special homemade coffee+hazelnut cake, or maybe an amaretto biscuit infused with a hint of amaretto liqueur!

Sunday 2.30pm: Have a go at making your own coffee! Why not try making your own latte or flat white on our machine? Just pay for the price of the coffee and have a go! No need to book.

Monday 10.30–12: Peter from James Gourmet Coffee, the roasters of our house blend, will visit to discuss home brewing and to talk about the source of our beans and the farmers that grown them. Find him upstairs.
