Charlie’s I established Charlie’s Coffee & Company over a decade ago; inspired by years of working in cafes & immersing myself in café-culture around the UK, I wanted to bring great coffee to the people of Hertfordshire. I serve speciality coffee & morning cheer to the early risers at St Albans station from the back of a 3-wheeled van. My coffee is roasted by Has Bean, I use milk sourced from a family run dairy farm & pastries are freshly baked in St Albans. My coffee shop is on London Road, 5 minutes wander from the city centre & the station, opposite the wonderful Odyssey cinema, next to Gabriel Square & a few doors along from the amazing Beer Shop. www.charliescoffeeandcompany.co.uk/

The Fleetville Larder After frustration that there wasn’t a independent cheesemonger based in St. Albans, owner Ed Bevin decided to take matters into his own hands. Living in Fleetville he realised there was also a need for a local spot to get great coffee, in a relaxed environment, with quality food offered. So he put the 2 concepts together, quit his city job and the Larder was born. Cheese takes centre stage in the Fleetville Larder, with an ever-changing counter full of artisan British and European cheeses. These are hand cut to take away, or are offered to eat-in, as part of our popular cheese and meat platters. You are encouraged to try before you buy. The Fleetville Larder is fully licenced, so you can also choose from a range of wines, beers and ciders, to drink in or take away. 129 Hatfield Rd, St Albans AL1 4JS. 01727 863237 www.fleetvillelarder.com/ The Waffle House Welcome to The Waffle House, located within the 16th Century, Grade II listed Kingsbury watermill overlooking the River Ver in the tranquil Conservation Area of St Albans.
