Veterans chat and chew takes place at Fika Coffee and Wine in Swindon town centre on the 2nd Wednesday of each month.
So this little post is to flag up a rather lovely initiative: chat ‘n’ chew sessions for veterans in the Fika coffee shop on Havelock Square in Swindon town centre. I think this is just so … nice.
Martin, the proprietor of Fika is himself a veteran. And he’s created this lovely veterans’ corner in the coffee shop.
The veterans’ Chat n chew sessions are supported by Voluntary Action Swindon and Veteran Support Swindon.
About Fika
A cosy space where great coffee, fine wine, and meaningful moments come together. Inspired by the Swedish tradition of “fika”—a cherished coffee break shared with friends. It’s a place where people can slow down, savour quality drinks, and enjoy good company.
I can’t think of anywhere better for the veterans to get together for their pow-wow. It’s more than handy too that Fika is fully accessible. It’s straight in off the street, is all on one level and has an accessible toilet.
Further, and of equal importance IMHO, the coffee is great and Martin often has some rather delicious Swedish cinnamon buns. I’m rather too fond of them TBH!
