The Parker’s Yard Café at our Framework Knitters’ Museum (FKM) has submitted an application to Rushcliffe Borough Council for an alcohol licence on its premises.
Run by Ruddington residents Jennifer Walker and Mike Gaunt, their coffee shop was launched in July (2022) within the recent museum extension and gardens – formerly ‘Gunn Cottage’. Along with the FKM’s gift shop and its Old Chapel, this hospitality area of our internationally famous tourist attraction is a place villagers and visitors can access without having to pay the museum entrance fee.
The couple started The Split Screen Coffee Company business back in 2015. They have also previously traded from The Bottle Top on Ruddington High Street, as well as from ‘May’ – their famous converted VW split screen camper van, which is still going strong!
Parker’s Yard, at the end of Chapel Street in Ruddington, is currently open Wednesdays to Saturdays from 11.00am to 4.30pm and on Sundays from 1.30pm to 4.30pm.
