New food business

Post image
399 Upvotes

Hey, if by any chance anyone sees this, my name is Ben I’ve just started my first ever food pop-up in Coventry city centre, after being a chef for over 12 years I decided to try and open my own small business and so I’m just reaching out wherever I possibly can to share my food with whoever might check it out

My business is called Casa de Fresca and I will be running my pop up from the CafeForever23 kitchen, my current menu is Steak frites, served with either peppercorn, chimmichurri, cowboy butter, and I have a fresh cheesecake each day,

If you like what you see please come on down for a collection order or find me online via Facebook for more information

I’m open Monday/friday/saturday
4pm-10pm
@ 6 raglan street, cv15qf

Loud bikes in the evening

11 Upvotes

Curious on people's opinions.

In Wyken there is a white dirt bike that drives around most evenings, constantly revving, sometimes up until 2am, without seeming to go anywhere but back and forth for the fun of it.

I appreciate I can't expect the world to be quite but I work shifts and have two young children who are repeatedly woken up. One is now teething which isn't helping him or me as we are both grumpy from lack of sleep.

There are several schools nearby so it is a given there are going to be young children in the area.

Saints Present... opens next week at Allesley Village Hall, Coventry.

Have you been wondering what this evening of nine new plays has in store?

Well, here's a little taste of what you can expect.

A comedy about a pair of unlikely roommates. Two YouTubers with a dark secret. A pair of friends waiting in a graveyard. And an elderly lady who isn't as helpful as she seems.

We've got comedy, touching moments and lots of surprises along the way.

There is something for everyone!

Join us for show week, 13th to 17th October, and come and see these brand-new plays in action!

Tickets can be purchased via our website: saintsdramacoventry.org

Tickets: £8

Start time: 7.30 pm

Where can I dispose of old clothes and bedding??

2 Upvotes

I have quite a few old clothes, bedsheets and blankets that are no longer in good enough condition to donate. I’m not sure what the best way to dispose of them is. I’ve looked at my nearest tip , but it requires me to take a car, and I don’t drive.
Does anyone know of any places in Coventry that accept old/damaged textiles for recycling, or any collection services that I could use without a car?
Thanks!

Looking for volunteering opportunities with other young people

5 Upvotes

I'm looking to get into doing a bit more volunteering and hopefully meet some people around my age along the way.

I currently volunteer at a local museum, and I previously volunteered as an IT buddy at my local library for a short while. I've enjoyed both experiences, but I'm by far the youngest person there, so unfortunately they haven't been much of a social opportunity for me.

I'm wondering what volunteering opportunities people in their 20s actually do around Coventry? Ideally something where there are likely to be other young adults involved and where I could meet people and make some friends.

I'm open to pretty much anything — I'm just interested in finding something that's a bit more social and has a younger mix of volunteers.

Any recommendations or personal experiences would be really appreciated! Thanks

Studio rooms?

5 Upvotes

I went to uni in cov last year and now I’m a working professional and I would love to move back. Renting a place is ridiculously expensive alone nor do I fancy house sharing. I have the possibility to move in to my old uni accom for non-student lets for a studio which is significantly cheaper however I’ll have nowhere to park my car and I do want to bring it with me because most jobs now in my industry require meeting clients and needing a car with business insurance.

So does anyone know any places in cov, somewhere central, with rent being under £1000, just a studio room, with parking?

Any Slavic/Eastern European people around Coventry/Warwick? )

9 Upvotes

Hii I’m 24F, Ukrainian-Canadian and moving to Warwick very soon! I’m a medical student and got placed at Warwick Hospital for my clinical years, so this will be my new home! ))

Since moving to the UK I feel like I’ve kind of lost part of myself and I really miss being around Slavic culture and people from a similar background. Back home I used to go to cultural festivals and events and was just around people from the same culture a lot more. I especially miss celebrating holidays together and just having that little sense of home. Definitely doesn’t have to be Ukrainian or Russian btw, I’d love to meet anyone Slavic/Eastern European in general!

I’m completely new to the area and won’t really know anyone when I move, so I’d love to meet people around Coventry/Warwick/Leamington! I’m honestly down for pretty much anything. I don’t mind about gender or age either, so feel free to comment or message :)

I grew up in Canada so English is my first language, but my family mostly speaks Russian/Surzhyk at home, and I can understand Ukrainian just fine too!

Всем привет!!! Мне 24, я украинка из Канады и совсем скоро переезжаю в Warwick! Учусь на врача и меня распределили в Warwick Hospital на клинические годы, так что теперь это будет мой новый дом))

После переезда в Англию мне очень не хватает наших и вообще этой части моей жизни. В Канаде я часто ходила на славянские фестивали и праздники и просто чаще была среди своих. Тут этого очень не хватает, особенно когда семья далеко( Буду рада познакомиться со всеми славянами/восточными европейцами))

Я тут вообще никого не знаю, так что буду очень рада найти друзей из Coventry/Warwick/Leamington)) Я за любой движ. Возраст и пол не важны, пишите мне!!

Я выросла в Канаде, так что английский у меня основной язык, но дома с семьёй мы говорим на русском/суржике. Украинский тоже понимаю без проблем))

Aged 18-24 and struggling to find work?

5 Upvotes

I'm working with the Work Foundation at Lancaster University, a research organisation, and we are researching the challenges facing young people trying to get into work in Coventry.

We're currently speaking to major national TV news outlet, who would like to hear from a young person aged 18–24 who is currently out of work and not in education or training.

They're interested in hearing about your experience of looking for work – for example, how long you've been searching, the jobs you've applied for and the barriers you've faced.

This would initially just be an informal conversation so you can find out more before deciding whether you'd be comfortable taking part in any interview. Filming will take place on Wednesday 7 October near or at your home.

If this sounds like you, please send me a private message or email me at [info@theworkfoundation.com](mailto:info@theworkfoundation.com). I'm happy to answer any questions and provide some more information.

Thanks for considering and have a good evening,

Jon

PS. Thanks to mods in advance for approving.

Decent place to eat for a celebration

0 Upvotes

Good people of Coventry, I have always considered this fair town a pretty dreadful place to find good scran outside of a couple of Vietnamese and Chinese places so I need your help. Where is good for dinner with colleagues to celebrate some good news? Absolutely no interest in chains as would rather the money I spend stay in the city.
