I would like to introduce some of our new businesses in Dunstable that have joined us recently. I am especially excited to tell you about two new businesses that will be joining us at Middle Row Market. 

At the crossroads of Church Street, we would like to warmly welcome K&D Café, who are open every day for coffee and cake. I visited the owners and received a very warm welcome; the cakes were delicious. All coffees are priced at £3, and the café now also offers a small lunchtime menu, featuring omelette and toast-based dishes. 

New to Elenor’s Cross (4 Eleanor’s Cross) is “at natashas”. Natasha offers a high-end, private salon experience, specialising in modern colouring techniques, precision cuts, occasion styling, extensions, and keratin blow-dries. Appointments can be booked by calling 07909 740103 or via Instagram: @atnatashas_ 

In 2011, the seeds of Little Shop of Cheese were sown from a lifelong passion for cheese. Leaving behind a career in nursing, Nicola embarked on an exciting new journey, starting with a modest cheese stall. The business will now be a regular feature in Dunstable, appearing on the third Saturday of each month at Middle Row Market. Do come along to see Nicola and chat about all things cheese, from hard to soft, and from blue to goat cheese. This double stall will have something for everyone. For more information, please visit their website https://littleshopofcheese.co.uk/ 

We are also delighted to welcome Aunty Satya’s, a Durban-style home-ground curry masala made in the UK using a traditional family recipe. This artisan masala is hand-roasted and home-ground, and we are pleased to welcome them to Middle Row Market. You can find inspiration and recipes on their Facebook page: www.facebook.com/AuntySatyas 

In addition, we welcome the temporary Banking Hub located at Dunstable Library, which will provide the community with access to essential cash and banking services. This facility will remain open until a permanent site is established in Dunstable. 

The hub’s hours of operation are 9 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday.
Address: Dunstable Library, Dunstable Centre, Dunstable, LU5 4JD. 

Community banker availability is as follows:
Monday – Lloyds Banking Group
Tuesday – Barclays Bank
Wednesday – Halifax
Thursday – NatWest Group
Friday – Santander 

We wish all our new businesses a very warm welcome to Dunstable and look forward to seeing them thrive in our town.
