Beds Opportunities for Learning Disabilities (BOLD) A Different Brew Cafe

Who are we?

We are a charity supporting Adults with Learning Disabilities

What do we do?

The most recent project of B.O.L.D. The new venture is staffed by adults with learning disabilities, working both front and back of house. B.O.L.D has been part of the Bedford community for the last 21 years, over this time B.O.L.D has evolved into a very  comprehensive organisation providing a wide range of services for people with learning disabilities, challenging behaviour along with a diverse range of additional disabilities.

The café is at the site of an old public house and the décor is very individual and all the furniture was created in our Workshop. The project members that work in the café have done their food hygiene certificate and participate in all the food preparation.

All the food is cooked fresh to order by our project members under staff supervision and is made on site and uses where possible fruit and veg from out allotment and eggs from our Animal Farm. The suppliers that we use are local as we feel this is important. We are able to offer vegetarian and gluten free options. Most importantly the café is open to all members of the public
