St Martin’s Chat and Chew occurs on the Fourth Saturday of Every month. 

The Chat and Chew Café offers great coffee and freshly baked goods which are cooked on the premises in our commercial kitchen. The menu is extensive e.g scones, match sticks, apple pies, turnovers, muffins, cheese and herb rolls and so much more. Our prices are below what most other bakeries or cafés.

The Parish OP-Shop (Reggie’s Shed) is open throughout the Chat and Chew sessions from 9am – 12 Noon.
The Op-Shop has a full range of quality second hand clothing and lots of decorative bric a brac, a huge range of DVD’s, CD’s and LP’s.
The Op-Shop is also open when the Foodbank Van is onsite – 12.30pm – 1.30pm.

The Parish offers free coffee, tea and biscuits and a monthly café (Chat and Chew) which provides a simple paid meal with tea or coffee for $7.00. At Christmas the parish provides a luncheon free to customers and volunteers on one of the Wednesdays Foodbank is at St Martin’s in December.
Further, we feel that, as well as the provision of food and beverage, providing hospitality is based on our desire to connect with members of the community who may need other support, who may be socially isolated, who may require a pastoral response to their situation simply by listening, encouraging and by offering chaplaincy to those who seek such support. The parish sees this as part of its vision to: Express God’s love through ministry and service to all and its mission in doing God’s work and message through service to others and building community.
