We’ve been working on opening a new coffee cart in central london for a few months now, and the time has finally arrived! Climpson & Sons now have a coffee cart outside Match Bar on Margaret St, W1. Some of you already know that the cart we used at the Big Chill was a test run for the new equipment and it all went swimmingly. Matt has been working hard to finalise the operation and he’s now cranking out Climpson & Sons caffeinated craziness at a cracking pace for the 9-to-5′ers around Oxford Circus.

The Match Bar have been amazing in lending us their street frontage, and were eager to bring us into the West End to complement their divine cocktails. We’re open from 8am – 3pm, then the bar opens and we grab a comfy couch to relax in.

So if your in the area, drop by to say ‘Hi’ and grab a quick latte.

 

The Climpson & Sons stall rocked this year’s Big Chill festival as only we know how. Placed between Leon and the Castle Stage, we were in prime position to make the most of the best end the grounds. With some of the best food seen yet, and a wonderfully diverse mix of artists on stage, we stepped up to the challenge and smashed out top class coffee for the 33,000 festival go-ers. Open from 8am through till Midnight, those of you who have seen our Broadway Market cafe on a Saturday will know exactly how busy we were.

Needless to say our team performed professionally and tirelessly during the long festival hours and we are extremely proud of their efforts. Smashing out endless lines of delicious espressos and lattes to keep the fans jumping around till the wee hours of the morning. As well as helping the other stall holders stay awake during one of the craziest weeks we’ve seen in a while.

We’ve popped up a few photos of our setup for those of you who weren’t lucky enough to join us this year.

 

Always nice to have a little mention in Timeout and this week you can see us top of the list of London’s best coffee bars, on page 18. Interesting to note that most of the cafes mentioned are on the East side of London where nearly 5 years ago we opened our doors for the first time and introduced a new style of coffee to the streets of East London.  Now several years on we very happy still to be recognized as a venue for great coffee in this ever growing London coffee scene.
