'Enjoy at 21': New lunchtime cafe opens in Market Drayton
A new lunchtime cafe has opened in Market Drayton, specialising in homemade vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free food.
'Enjoy at 21' has recently opened at 21 Shropshire Street in the centre of town and is run by resident Jill Kirk, who is originally from Oxford.
Not only is Mrs Kirk a cook, but she is also an artist – and a selection of her work is on display at the lunchtime venue.
The cafe is open Wednesday to Saturday from 10am to 2pm and serves homemade food including soups, sandwiches, sweet treats and more – all at affordable prices.
Mrs Kirk said: "It's a bit slow starting at the moment, but everyone says it will take off at some point. I was in France for 30 years and I only came back last year, for the first time in 28 years.
"My husband and I were supposed to be retiring, but when you work for yourself, you find you can't stop working."
Mrs Kirk said she wanted to do something which suited her skillset, allow her to meet new people and make nice food – and so came the idea for 'Enjoy at 21'.
When commenting on the move to Shropshire, Mrs Kirk said: "It's a very beautiful county, and people are very friendly – exceptionally so."
Mrs Kirk is open to large group bookings and parties of up to 10 people. To enquire, pop into the shop at 21 Shropshire St, Market Drayton TF9 3DA.
Mrs Kirk also mentioned that she overcharged the two ladies who came in this week, so would like to reimburse them if they'd like to get in touch with her.
