We opened the doors to Cafe Ventoux on 4th July 2015 with a clear mission to provide a warm welcome to all cyclists looking for great coffee and a hearty refuel.
Who could have predicted the the overwhelming popularity we have enjoyed since then? Greeting cyclists of all standards, from beginners to Olympic champions, from pro teams on training rides to 9 year olds raising money for charity. We have played host to literally thousands of riders who all have their own reasons for getting on a bike and exploring the glorious rolling countryside on our doorstep. We have taken great joy in replenishing them all with flat whites, milk shakes, bacon sandwiches, big breakfasts and of course plenty of delicious cake! We have hosted weekend rides, patched up the fallen and driven them home, dragged cars out of the snow, hosted birthday parties, christenings and life celebrations, survived the COVID years, relocated to a new premises and won awards. A lot has happened in 10 yrs.
Not just for cyclists, we wouldn’t still be here today if it weren’t for the devotion of of our local customers who have supported us since day one. The evolution of our offering to now include our very popular tasting menu nights and private parties, we are grateful to everyone who has contributed to our success.
We are so proud to still be here after 10 years and we have a lot to celebrate and be thankful for. So we plan to do that on Saturday 5th July 2025. Combining the opportunity to enter our charity ride we will host an all day bbq with music and something for all the family to enjoy. Full details of this will be released in due course.
