The day has finally come - our little Rosa is leaving us (again) but probably for good this time 😭. Rosa has been a fixture at Red since she was a wee 14 year old and we can’t imagine the place without her calm head, dry humour and amazing cake decorating. She’s heading off into the big smoke and we wish her all the best with her big plans and dreams and know that whatever she does she’ll do it tremendously.

Today is her last day, so come say bye and good luck 😍

We’re looking for someone to join us in the kitchen from early July for 3-5 days a week.

You don’t need to have previous cooking experience but you do need to have an interest in food, a cool head, a love of people, and a willingness to learn.

We find that fitting in with the team is more important than previous kitchens skills, so if you’re kind, hardworking, like a laugh, and love working in a team environment, please apply. Training is provided.

Days are flexible, but hours are not, 7.30-2.30-3ish between Monday and Friday. No weekend work.

DM us if you have any questions, or send an email with your resume to redcafebega@gmail.com

🍂 Autumn on a plate, two ways ♥️.

Creamy butter bean and lemon hummus, spice roast pumpkin, pickled onions, pepita and hemp seed dukkah and fresh coriander. Have it on a bed of rocket as a salad bowl, or on toast. And of course, add extras to your hearts desire.

Long, hot summer days are over (til next year) – but at least we have cold weather food to look forward to 😍. We’ve tweaked the menu for these days ahead with simple, comforting dishes, featuring veg that doesn’t have to travel too far to get to your plate.

Come in and give it a try from Tuesday - and yes, we’ll still have the ever-changing blackboard specials as well.
