an-an's Special Delivery Service.

Well, I don't have any talking black cat with me, but I will try to fly around Brighton - Worthing area for home delivery of Japanese Cooking ingredients for you to try cooking at home.

As I deliver by myself, so the area is only with in Brighton (BN1) to Worthing (BN13).
It is still a trial. Let's see how this can develop.

I am might make some Japanese cooking video... maybe, one day...

It is not going to be only food. an-an is working together with Jack and Mei, Japanese fancy goods shop, https://www.facebook.com/jackandmei/, making masks for us.
They voluntarily make scrubs and scrub bags for NHS staffs from the money they sell masks.
I also can deliver the mask with this fortnightly delivery.

 There are 3 sizes.
S for children (2 for £8.00)
M or L for ladies (2 for £12.00 or 2 x Cath Kidston £15.00)

Profit will go to materials for making NHS scrubs and scrub bags.
Thank you.

I like to move it, move it ♪

We have moved to the new shop! (Please click the photo. Googlemap may show where the Coffee Station is.) We are still in the middle of all the updates. 
The sign has not changed, but it is NEW an-an. Well, I call it an-an @the Coffee Station now.


Of course, it is not Cafe, yet.
We have to start somewhere... so, we will start Take Aways this week, maybe on Tuesday 7th April. 
From 11:30 am to 3:00pm on Monday to Saturdays, like an-an used to.

First of all, we have to get used to the new kitchen, we will start slowly.
Menu will be very limited, too.
We now know the Corona Virus is easily killed by heat, so we keep away from cold menu, such as Sushi, Salad and Sandwiches. In stead, we will put some cooked veges in the lunch menu.

Here is the limited menu for this period.
 


You can Take away Coffee and Tea.
I know this cafe used to be very famous for tasty coffee and cakes. 
For now, I can make tasty coffee and Japanese sweets.
You have to wait for cakes a bit longer.

We all wear masks and gloves while we prepare your meals. 
We are very careful about food hygene as you know an-an has a 5 Hygene rating in the previous place!
After weeks of cleaning and scrubbing at the new location, we came to conclusion of "Good to go!".

For now;
1)Please ring 07923 900344 to order. 
2)I will let you know what time your order will be ready for collection. Please do not come to shop till then.
3)At the table in front of the shop, we will check your name. Please pay by card if possible. 
4) We will leave your meal on the table for you to collect.

Thank you for observing the Social Distance. We appreciate your cooporation. 
We have applied to register with a delivery company. As soon as we have the contract, we will start Hot Food Delivery. Hopefully it will come soon!!!

Due to COVID-19…


Dear Customers and friends,

After tonight's announcement about COVID-19 from the Government, an-an will be closed until further notice.
Some of you asked for delivery, however, we don't want to put anybody on the frontline by deliverying our food, and also it is too short notice to sort out the payment system.
It is unfortunate to announce like this, but after the closure of an-an, we will move our shop to 94 Boundary Road (ex. the Coffee Station). It is on the other side of Boundary Road, but still on Boundary Road!!!
As we move, we will have a larger kitchen to cope with demand (hopefully!) and a separate customer area, so we are planing to register with some of the delivery companies.
When the time is right, we will announce more detail about the new business.
Please stay safe at home; I will keep you upto date with our progress here! A lot of comments appreciated!!!
