The Foghorn in Portslade is owned by Tommy, Niall, and Tim. We are three friends who had a shared passion for good food and great coffee, so we decided to open our own cafe.
Tommy has always been interested in the culinary world and has worked in various cafes and restaurants throughout his career. He has a knack for creating delicious dishes and loves experimenting with different flavors and ingredients.
Niall, on the other hand, has a background in coffee. He has worked as a barista for several years and is extremely knowledgeable about different brewing methods, coffee beans, and flavor profiles. He is always on the lookout for new and exciting coffee blends to offer our customers.
As for Tim, he has a background in business and management. He handles the day-to-day operations of the cafe, ensuring that everything runs smoothly and efficiently. He’s also responsible for building relationships with our suppliers and making sure we have the best quality ingredients for our menu.
Together, we make a great team and share a common vision for The Foghorn. We wanted to create a welcoming space where people can come and enjoy delicious food and beverages in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We believe in supporting local producers and sourcing our ingredients as locally as possible.
In terms of the cafe itself, we wanted to create a space that reflects our personalities and interests. The interior is cozy and inviting, with warm colors and comfortable seating. We also have a small outdoor seating area where customers can enjoy their meals on sunny days.
We take pride in our menu, which features a variety of homemade dishes made from scratch using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. From hearty breakfast options to tasty sandwiches and salads, we strive to offer something for everyone. And of course, we take our coffee seriously, with a range of specialty coffees and brewing methods available.
Since opening in December 2018, we have been overwhelmed by the positive response from the local community. We love getting to know our customers and building relationships with them. It’s incredibly rewarding to see people enjoying the food and coffee we have worked hard to create.
Owning The Foghorn in Portslade has been a dream come true for us. We are passionate about what we do and are committed to providing our customers with a memorable dining experience. We are excited to continue growing and evolving as a cafe and look forward to welcoming more people through our doors.
