How it Works

Down at The Living Room...

You will find a warm and friendly welcome, a place to lounge and chat, to buy cheap refreshments, clothes and bric-a-brac, or try the latest jigsaw, weekly quiz or retro board game... all within the backdrop of our original 1970's furniture!

With over 90 regulars, The Living Room has become a much-loved, fun and safe space for those looking to hang out and enjoy the company of others. It's not quite the place to come for a quiet drink(!), getting more likened to a non-alcoholic version of Cheers! It definitely has a strong sense of community with guest comments including:

"You enter a stranger - and leave as a friend".

"This place has become my sanctuary".

"I am at my happiest here".

You can try your hand at the weekly general knowledge quiz, whilst supping on a percolated coffee, or tuck into one of our gorgeous Belgian waffles (poshest thing on the menu!), which 100 year old Marie says "are to die for!". Or... feel free to bring in your Gregg's pasty and just relax and soak in the retro environment!

We sell soups, beans on toast, as well as a range of snacks and drinks. You can view our menu here.

Volunteers are made up of friends from local churches and kind folk from within the community of Hyde.
