Christmas is nearly upon us, so we thought it might be an idea to let you know our opening hours.:
We close on Christmas Eve and re open on 5th January 2009 at 9am.
Hopefully, we’ll all return refreshed and alert (as my Pilates teacher would say). Our Cafe Manager, Ben, has responded to demand and put together a new breakfast menu which I (for one) can’t wait to try out!
Hope everyone in the Cultural Quarter has a great Christmas and New Year. Wishing you all the best for a prosperous 2009.
Kate and all the team at LCB Depot
