A CAFÉ in Lymm were left feeling very ‘grateful’ after construction workers from the McGoff Group surprised them with a delivery of a handmade life-like ‘mud kitchen’ for children within the community to enjoy.

The sturdy and weatherproof kitchen was donated to Sanctuary Café located in the heart of Lymm on Brookfield Road with the hope many kids would have fun exploring the kitchen and all the utensils it comes with while parents can then relax with a hot drink.

Café manager Kath Mellor and project manager Sue Eden said: “We are so grateful to the McGoff Group for surprising us with this wonderful mud kitchen.

“With our café clientele, this is the perfect gift for us and one which is already being enjoyed by our younger customers. 

“Members of the McGoff Construction team have been regulars in the café since work started on site – it’s been great to provide them with their breakfasts and hear how the development has been coming along.”

The multi-generational development on the corner of Whitbarrow Road and Statham Avenue is a huge on-going project for the McGoff Group and will soon be the home of a fantastic new nursery, an award winning care home and 45 retirement apartments.

Sarah Sanderson from the McGoff Group commented: “We’re so excited to be in the final stages of development in Lymm and looking forward to introducing locals to our beautiful apartments, nursery and care home when they complete in the next month or so. 

“We hope our mud kitchen donation provides a small lasting legacy of our association with the café and is enjoyed by local children for many years to come.”
