CELEBRATIONS are the flavour of the month at the Cavendish Coffee Shop, with a charity anniversary night to be attended by the mayor and mayoress, as well as exciting new business projects. Situated at Cavendish Way, off Ashford
Road Bearsted, the coffee shop opened its doors three years ago on September 1. It was a brave decision in the depths of the recession, but with founder Alison Bellamy at the helm, the venture has gone from strength to strength.
Alison, was recently joined in the business by Jane Mews and the pair, both former nurses are forging ahead with their expansion plans.
Alison. “Now we are able to supply cakes, desserts and cupcakes for all sorts of occasions including weddings, birthdays, baby showers and christenings.” The ladies have added a second kitchen to accommodate the growing business and will be happy to supply other firms with cakes and outside catering. With a five star food hygiene rating, the Cavendish specialises in fresh, wholesome food, largely homemade on the premises or from carefully selected suppliers with a high quality ethic which matches their own.

The coffee shop has received great support from the local community and is regularly used by local clubs, societies and
church groups as a meeting place. “We are very thankful for the wonderful support we have had from the community,” said Alison. “We have many loyal and regular customers and new people find us every single day. It’s brilliant.”
The Cavendish has a large selection of quality cards and gifts, and works with local designers to display and sell exquisite items such as handmade silver jewellery, chocolate and much more.
A charity raffle was launched on its third anniversary and tickets are on sale at the shop in aid of Crossroads, which provides support for carers in their own home. The raffle is due to
culminate at a charity night at the shop on September 14, which will be attended by the Mayor and Mayoress of Maidstone. The celebrations are planned from 7 to 9pm, including refreshments and canapés – and a very special birthday cake! Email:
