Community Cookery at Seamen’s Church Institute, Thursday-Sunday 7am-2pm
The Community Cookery is proud to partner with Bike Newport and the “Get There By Bike” initiative to encourage patrons to ditch their car and arrive by bike! Leave your car outside of Newport, skip the parking hassles, and bike to the Community Cookery! By biking, you are decreasing traffic congestion, carbon emissions, and contributing to a more sustainable, healthy community. Additionally, you are supporting a mission driven retail cafe that serves as a living classroom for students to build real-world skills in culinary and hospitality industries.
