We love what we do!

Oriole is owned and run by Abbi & Danny, who took over Oriole Café in March 2023. With years of experience in Hospitality between them, they jumped at the chance to take over the Cafe at the Spitfire Cricket ground, and saw it as the perfect venue to offer great coffee & excellent food, all within a welcoming, community based space.

“We’re really pleased with the wonderful space that Oriole has become, with fantastic regular (and new!) customers, and great staff who go the extra mile. The cricket matches during the summer are always exciting to be a part of , and we love our regular community groups such as the parent group who meet here weekly.

We’re proud to have a wonderful team that we value and nourish, and hope that as a result, we bring you a team who love to come to work and serve you great food and drinks.

Oriole has been founded on strong values. We are working hard to source as much as possible from suppliers on our doorstep, supporting our local communities and reducing long-distance transport of the things we buy.
