Waterside Cafe in Farmoor, will celebrate its first anniversary under new ownership with an exclusive evening supper club featuring Tikka and Tadka on Saturday, 31st August

The team at Waterside Cafe in Cumnor, OX2 9NS, are excited to announce their first evening supper club event, celebrating one year under new ownership!

This special occasion will be held in collaboration with loved local independent business, Tikka and Tadka, known for their authentic Indian cuisine.

Join them for an evening of delicious food and breath-taking views of the reservoir. Guests will enjoy a meticulously crafted three-course Indian meal prepared by Tikka and Tadka, with the picturesque backdrop of the reservoir and the potential for a stunning sunset to enhance the evening.

Waterside Cafe has enjoyed a fantastic first year, building strong relationships with customers, suppliers, and friends in the community. This supper club is a way to say thank you and celebrate the journey together. Only 40 tickets are available – book early to avoid dissapointment!

Owner Rachel says: “We are thrilled to celebrate our first anniversary with our incredible community. Partnering with Tikka and Tadka for our very first Evening Supper Club is the perfect way to mark this milestone. We look forward to sharing an unforgettable evening with everyone.

“Being slightly out of Oxford and new to the hospitality industry, the journey has sometimes been lonely and isolating. However, it has also been incredibly rewarding. Every day I’ve learned something new, and the support from other small businesses and our brilliant relationships with our suppliers has been a lifeline during our first year. Their encouragement and support have been invaluable, and I’m truly grateful to be part of such a supportive community.

“Making it through our first year feels like a significant achievement, and I’m excited about what’s next. We’re planning more collaborations like this supper club and have recently purchased a horsebox trailer to serve take-away coffee. We have lots of exciting ideas in the pipeline. We’ve also recently become a Chatty Cafe, supporting a charity that encourages conversations to reduce loneliness. The reservoir is a real community hub, and I’m eager to continue promoting this important initiative in the coming months.”

“Before I took over Waterside Cafe, I was baking celebration cakes, and I’m particularly proud that I still make all our cakes and traybakes for the cafe. My apple Dorset cake has become known as the ‘house special’, and on many weekends, we’ve completely sold out because people love it so much. It’s wonderful to continue doing what I love and to see the cafe now recognised for its great homemade produce.”
