The Cloverdale Retreat Coffee Shop
In the Summer of 2016, we opened the Cloverdale Retreat Coffee Shop, located in the beautiful Priory Country Park. The coffee shop has grown in popularity year by year, thanks in part to the introduction of large decking areas in 2017 and an indoor feature - a large window with stunning views of the main lake. Our food has received high praise, with many customers praising it as the "best catering ever." We have successfully provided Cloverdale interpretations of various world-wide menus for visiting foreign clients, receiving praise on these occasions also.
Our History
Cloverdale Catering was started by Glenda in 1986, taking its name from her home at that time - 'Cloverdale Cottage'. Glenda built up a reputation for excellent home-made savouries and desserts, and the business became associated with excellent food and service over different sectors of the industry, including outside catering, contract catering, and restaurant catering. Large marquee weddings and celebrations became a forte of Cloverdale Catering. Our interesting history has included catering for celebrities, including members of the Royal Family, at large venues such as stately homes, castles, and even a palace.
Today, Cloverdale Catering has an enviable reputation for catering excellence, and we are dedicated to providing an exceptional experience for every occasion. We are highly flexible and will produce a uniquely personalised menu to suit your taste and budget.
