Our Story

 
FranMarie-TownGardensCafe-March2021-2.jpg

We love the park as much now as we did when we were children feeding its birds and counting its squirrels. Like so many others, we never get bored of Town Gardens, through the seasons, it never loses its magic.

We also both care about really good coffee and food, and the community of makers and producers that work around Swindon and Wiltshire.

Town Gardens Café is about those two loves, and the joy of being in one of the most beautiful green spaces in Wiltshire.

Frances has worked in restaurants all her career, grew up on the park’s doorstep, and spends her spare time baking extraordinary creations for friends and family.

Marie is a local journalist, often has a coffee in hand, and can mainly be found chasing her 3 year old round the bandstand.

Being able to open the Town Gardens Café is a life long dream come true.
We can’t wait to meet you.
