We’ve been thrilled by the reaction to the new Hub café and Hatch service since we opened in mid-July. It seems to be living up to our ambitions of creating somewhere that everyone can feel comfortable and welcome.

Our Hub Café
Our new Hub Café offers:
-
- indoor/ outdoor seating
- relaxed sofas and chairs, large table and lots of smaller tables which can be moved and brought together for bigger groups
- a play corner to keep young ones occupied
- displays by local artists, many of which are for sale
We offer our Hatch Service during general opening times when the main café is in use for our activity programme.
Fully licensed and dog friendly too!
Note for Parents
Keep your children safe at the Hub
At the back of the Hub is an enclosed space which our customers can visit and enjoy. We would ask parents to closely supervise their children in this area as it contains a swale, which looks like a planted pond but is in fact part of the drainage scheme for Hub environs. Whilst there is some fencing around the pond, it is not fully enclosed.
Café Opening Hours
Following the Xmas and New Year break, Underhill Hub reopens from 4:30pm on Friday 03 January*.
Like many hospitality businesses, the start of the year is a time for taking stock and planning for the year ahead whilst many of our customers recover from their Christmas and New Year festivities.
We aim to provide as broad a service as possible in our café when there is demand but, based on the level of customers over the autumn, this does mean that throughout January the Hub café will have limited opening times and service on weekdays, as shown.
* Please note that anyone who has booked a slot with Barclays can access the Hub from 9:30am on these days.
Our Hub Menus
Over the winter months we will be serving a limited food menu featuring our most popular items.
Choose from breakfast baps, things on toast and breakfast pastries or sandwiches and savoury bites. And we have a selection of smaller portion items suitable for our younger customers.
All complemented by fresh cakes, crisps and chocolate treats, plus of course Joe’s ice cream tubs, available every day.
If you are looking for liquid refreshment, we serve a wide range of teas & coffees, plus a range of soft drinks, wines, beers and spirits. When it’s busy and you don’t want to wait, or if the main cafe is closed, we have a hot drinks vending machine in the Hub lobby.
Special Event Catering
If you would like to hold your meeting or special event at Underhill Hub then you can take advantage of our full café and bar service and the expertise of our team in creating delicious food which meets your tastes and budget.
Our team has put together a range of menus for meetings and special events booked in at the Hub which can be changed and added to meet your needs.
Come in and chat to the team about what is on offer!
Our doggy friends
Underhill Park has always been popular with dog walkers, particularly in the summer when local beaches are closed to dogs, and we don’t want this to change. So we have made sure we are providing something for them too.
You can purchase dog ice-cream and a variety of dog treats, either in the Hub café or from the Hatch service when that is operating.
In case you have run out, we also sell poo bags. Picking up dog poo in the park is essential, not only as a courtesy to other walkers and park users but particularly for our sports players who don’t want to end up with poo on the face when diving for or with the ball.
After a successful trial during which we welcomed responsible dog walkers and their pets into the Hub just in the mornings, this has now been extended to any time when we the café is open. This policy will be kept under review so, if you are bringing your pouch in, please make sure they are well behaved, stay on the floor not the furniture and that you take particular care around young children and those who are not comfortable having dogs around.
Art in the Hub
Art is food for the soul so we are delighted to be using our pegboard wall as a display area for local artists.
As well as helping create a delightful atmosphere in the Hub, the works are for sale.
At the moment we have beautiful prints by local artist Janine Brown. Her paintings are of Mumbles and Langland and come either framed or unframed. We also have some of her greetings cards too!
Come and take a look next time you are visiting the Hub!
