Our new café in Hampden Park village, left of Age Concern charity shop. The interior is beautiful and has clearly been thought out, it's a comfortable environment inside. Staff are welcoming, helpful, and check that everything is OK with our meals / drinks.
I ordered mac & cheese and parsley, plus chunky fries with cheddar cheese sauce (requested without the jalapeños because my taste buds are weak.) These orders were sides however the portions were greater than expected, but please don't mistake that for a complaint! I was able to take the rest of my fries to go, packaged nicely in a branded takeaway bag. You can either sit in, or take out.
From what I could see, the mac and cheese was made fresh from scratch.
The hot chocolate was nice, made without sugar but there's the option to add your own. Their hot drinks menu is very unique.
We chatted to the staff during our visit here, it seems very much so that they care and have truly put their best efforts into creating Flour Flow.
Although it was long, the wait was worth it leading up to the opening day, the residents of Hampden Park are so pleased to have such an authentic independent café on our high street.
I wish you both the absolute best of luck with settling in! See you again soon!
EDIT 18/11/23: had the 'let's meat' pizza as takeaway and honestly beats any pizza I've ever had! You can actually watch them as they make and...
Read moreFirst visit to Flour Flow and the team were really friendly and the service was prompt. You can tell by talking to them they really care and passionate about their business.
The menu is has a lovely selection of pizzas as well as sandwiches and a selection of sides. It’s so nice to see somewhere that isn’t churning out basic pizzas and sandwiches and adding their own stamp on dishes.
We had the fish finger sandwich and the popeye pizza, our son had the volcano (without chilli flakes). Everyone really enjoyed the food. Lovely fresh ingredients used and the pizza dough was fantastic, my son would have happily just eaten the crust as it was “so yummy”!
The restaurant was relaxed and clean. We grabbed a sourdough loaf and flat white to go, coffee was well made and tasted great, looking forward to trying the bread.
It’s just the sort of eatery that Hampden Park needs! Can’t wait to pop back and collect more stamps for a free coffee and pizza.
I really hope the people of Hampden Park and Eastbourne support this local independent bakery...
Read moreSpotted it by chance - just by the Hampden Park zebra crossing, near the station - it was dark and I was on the other side of the road. I saw this lovely, cozily lit and welcoming place through the gloom and dark. So I went closer to see…an Italian themed pizzeria, cafe, bar. So I had to try!
They’re extremely friendly and will adapt the menu to your needs and wishes.
Great menu choices for all tastes, with interesting nibbles and deserts too. The pizzas are big, very good value and taste delicious!
The decor is lovely and relaxing - a Mediterranean theme, but also feels you’re in a boutiquey type place in a town or city.
This type of quality place is really needed here and I really wish...
