We find out why Jack's is
the place to be this summer...

We do love our garden and play area at Jack’s,
and have made improvements and additions
to the outdoor space every year. This year we
have added lots of garden toys the kids can
enjoy too!
The parents can relax on the outside picnic
benches, or under the timber gazebo, which
has a great rustic feel to it. We have added
sections of glass and trellis to provide added
shelter, and parents can watch kids play safely
from there.

We have a passion for great tasting coffee, and
for the way it’s presented. After trying various
Fair Trade supply chains, we found a small
family import company who share our passion
for great coffee. They roast a special blend of
beans specifically for Jack’s that we use as our
in-house ‘Jack’s Blend’.
We also have a selection of various other
coffees of different roast strengths from the
best coffee plantations on the planet.

This year our staff have organised themed
events for the kids during the holidays, such
as our ‘teddy bears picnic’, and ‘bubble party’.
We will be holding an event like this every
day over the summer holidays. One idea our
management staff have come up with is a
‘beach party’ theme, so please look out for
updates on Facebook!

Great question… Our focus and objective
when we took over the shop was to create a
place where people of all generations could
come and relax, or have fun in a family
friendly environment, in an ambiance that fits
the history of the town. Our slogan at Jack’s
is ‘Good times with good friends… A perfect
blend’ and typifies our number one objective.

The menu is something that we have been
continually improving, with new panini, wrap,
and bagel ideas. We now bake our own bread,
scones and bakery every morning and the
smells are fantastic!

We employ 6 part time staff at Jack’s, all
who live in the town. We have also provided
waiting staff jobs to many school and
college kids at weekends and holidays which
has helped integrate them in to a work
environment. We allow our staff the freedom
of rotating shifts to suit their family needs,
which they can organise between them as
long as the relevant staff skills are there
to replace them. We believe in this value,
and feel that it has gained us staff loyalty
throughout our time with Jack’s.
On a final note, we would like to thank our
customers for making Jack’s the business it
is today, not least our fantastic and loyal staff
who deserve immense credit for sustaining
the high
