Description
Time to introduce ourselves... We are Black Kite Brewing, a group of six friends who have bought a café and microbrewery from a friend who relocated. Our café is open 8am - 2pm every week-day with our experienced chef and fully-trained barista serving a range of freshly cooked meals, pastries, cakes, and drinks while we work behind the scenes getting ready to start brewing.
Whether you’re out for a walk at nearby Stodmarsh Nature Reserve, visiting one of the many businesses on Lakesview Industrial Park, paddling on the Stour with our friends Canoe Wild, camping at Puddledock Woods or Nethergong just along the road or catching the bus (there’s a bus stop two minutes away on Island Road), pop in, say hello and see what we have to offer.
