Troop Café

Our Llandudno community veterans' hub offers a dedicated space for members of the ex-services community, affordable and quality light bites, cakes and drinks, and a range of catering training, work experience and volunteering opportunities.

The premises, on Mostyn Broadway coachpark, showcase lots of Armed Forces memorabilia and materials from years gone by — pop in for a brew and something tasty to eat and see what you can remember!

Troop Café is open between 10am and 3pm from Saturday to Tuesday, and for other special events.

 

Working in partnership

We work with other agencies and charitable bodies — like the Royal British Legion, Age Connects and PRIME Cymru — to deliver great events, activites, information and engagement sessions for veterans and other groups in the local community.

Troop Café also hosts a weekly drop-in session for Change Step, where former members of the forces can connect with one another in a social environment and access peer mentoring support and advice on employment, housing, benefits and other issues.

We take pride in helping to take people furthest from the jobs market into employment through dedicated training programmes and volunteering opportunities. 

Our trainees work with alongside our team and partners to gain new qualificiations in catering and hospitality, boost their confidence, and get ready for work.
