 After a few spring days in March, it's gone back to winter.

It's raining today, which is a shame.

Now that the children have started school this week, An-an is going back to its original opening hours.

From the 15th of this month we will be open from 8am to 3pm Monday to Friday and from 10am to 3pm on Saturdays

If all goes well, from the 12th of April the café will be open for food and drink on the terrace, so the lockdown delivery service and okonomiyaki nights will stop.

However, you will still be able to buy Japanese food in the café and we hope to run the okonomiyaki as a one-off event, so please look out for that next time.
