V21 Café @ Rookwood
V21 Café @ Rookwood is the quieter of our cafés, located in the waiting area of Cardiff's Artificial Limbs and Appliances Centre. It’s perfect for trainees who enjoy a slower pace and being part of a relaxed, friendly community space.
With support from Tracy, trainees get involved in preparing and serving food and drinks, learning the everyday tasks of running a café, and understanding the importance of hygiene. They gain practical catering experience while building confidence, social skills, and a sense of achievement—all at a comfortable pace.
The café gives trainees the chance to learn in a supportive environment, where they can take their time to learn, enjoy the work, and leave each day with a sense of accomplishment.
