The Car Yard Café serves up social inclusion with lunch and coffee in Derwent Park.
A social enterprise café located on the Main Road in Derwent Park, providing the area with a much-needed stop off for coffee, sandwiches, cakes — and smiles.
The Car Yard Café is our newest venture offering training and work experience for people with disabilities. The café environment provides our trainees with hands-on experience in silver service hospitality.
"It's been established to give people more variety, to give them great opportunities for learning and developing"
The café is decked out in car-themed décor and the counter is stocked with fresh salad sandwiches, quiches, pies and sweet treats.
The food is made by our trainees in the small but spotless kitchen with help from support workers. All functions of the café are run by the trainees, from maintaining the outdoor seating area to staffing the sales counter.
"We want the community to be educated to see that they can contribute, they can contribute to our economy, they can contribute to their local communities”
