Archive: this feature describes The Chakra Lounge’s reopening in May 2021.
This 2021 feature welcomed an expanded menu at The Chakra Lounge in Buxton, which blended Indian and Western dishes.
The original article reported that The Chakra Lounge reopened on 17 May 2021, with an expanded menu, following a period of pandemic restrictions.
The menu described in 2021 ranged from noodles and nachos to burgers and Bollywood Benedict, with locally sourced produce.
During the pandemic restrictions, the café offered takeaway. The original report also described a post-it note initiative: customers could leave a note on the A-board offering a free coffee or lunch to someone finding things tough.
“We really wanted to support the local community during the pandemic – just like they’ve supported us through the toughest of times in the last twelve months. The strong local community spirit really did keep our team going during the lockdowns; seeing their smiles and chatting to the customers (when we offered takeaway and deliveries), this lifted our spirits when we never really knew what was coming next. So we must say a huge thank you to all”, said the General Manager.
“Many of our customers became regulars since we first opened in 2019 and we missed the buzz of being open in lockdown. Things have been so tough, if we could bring a little bit of happiness and hope to brighten up someones day – and that’s when we thought up the post-note idea, and it’s been brilliant”.
