You can’t fail to notice that Dock Cafe is liberally sprinkled with the contents of my Titanic-themed library. 101 Things You Thought You Knew About Titanic, The Discovery Of Titanic, Building Titanic, Sinking Titanic… And this one, a personal favourite – the story of Bruce Ismay.

Several groups have used the Dock’s shiny boardroom table for meetings, discussions and planning sessions.  Get out of the office, allow us to serve you coffee and scones, surround yourselves with space and art and light, watch the creativity soar.

Someone walked over the wet concrete when the apartments were being built, assuming that their little journey would be hidden when a proper floor was installed.  I kinda like it that their footprints are now a feature of Dock Cafe!

 

This bit of graffiti was there when we moved in, and we can’t bring ourselves to cover it up.

The old Honesty Box was, in truth, a bin which we converted for a new purpose in life.  The new one was constructed by my own fair hand and to be honest (which you have to be, given that it’s an Honesty Box) I’m kinda proud of it!  And the great news is that the Honesty Box is still making enough money for Dock Cafe to stay open!
