Community Cafe and more...

Updated: Dec 9, 2025

We're excited to introduce you to our cafe - and we'd love you to visit!

If you've not visited Murrayside Community Centre before, we're right next to Murrayfield School on Nacton road - a stone's throw away from Murray Road Recreation ground.


Alongside all the activities that we offer: sports, leisure learning, workshops, classes and meet-up groups, we also house:


  • Our own Barbers academy,

  • Taxi service

  • Food/training kitchen facilities

  • Several new exercise and wellness groups

  • and a Café


Stainless steel kitchen with colored cutting boards, stove, sink, and microwave. Fire blanket on wall and instructions beside sink.

If you're looking for somewhere to train groups of people how to cook: community groups; schools; special needs classes; refugees; people in supported housing; healthy eating and budgeting learning groups, come and take a look around our facilities - we've probably got everything you need - and we have space!


If you're interested in hiring this, or any of our rooms, take a look at information here


If you're looking for somewhere to meet friends; a space to work from or somewhere to have a lunch break, coming and visit our great cafe! We're open Monday-Saturday 9am-4pm and we're developing our menu at the moment.


Currently, on Tuesdays and Thursdays Jackie Po-po's takes charge and offers baked potatoes with various fillings - all with a beaming smile!

Come along and support a local small business and get yourself some delicious lunch in a fabulous setting. We've got all the hot drinks, the cold drinks and everything in between, alongside hot and cold sweet and savoury treats all day long.



Because we're all about community, we've also teamed up with Ipswich.Love who have installed a rolling programme of events on our cafe screen - come and see what's on, not only here, but all over our amazing town of Ipswich too.


So, whether you're joining us for a youth club, a sports class, a yoga session or a training event, or if you're just passing or fancy somewhere to sit and relax, we'd love to see you in our cafe sometime very soon!
