V21 Café @ Rookwood

Trainee stocking fridge at V21 Cafe @ 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.

Trainees have the opportunity to develop skills such as

  • Food hygiene.

  • Food preparation.

  • Knife skills.

  • Making sandwiches and baguettes.

  • Serving hot and cold food and drinks.

  • Setting tables.

  • Customer Service.

  • Using a till and handling money.
