At S42, food is how we bring people together. From our welcoming café in the heart of S42 to beautifully curated catering for life's most significant moments, everything we do is rooted in warmth, quality and genuine hospitality. Whether you are joining us for coffee and brunch or trusting us with your next event, you can expect thoughtful food, friendly faces and an experience that feels personal from start to finish.
S42 Café
Our café is the heart of what we do — warm, friendly, relaxed and filled with the smell of great coffee and freshly cooked food. From hearty breakfasts and homemade specials to artisan cakes, brunch favourites and seasonal treats, we pride ourselves on quality, consistency and a genuine personal touch.
We champion local suppliers, support our community groups, and love seeing people meet, chat, and make memories within our little corner of S42. Whether you're grabbing a coffee on the go, settling in for a long lunch, or joining one of our clubs and events, you'll always be welcomed like family.

Our Story
S42 began with a simple idea: to create a warm, welcoming space where great food, good coffee and genuine community could come together. What started as a small dream quickly grew into something far bigger — a café loved by locals, a hub for creativity and connection, and now a thriving catering company known for elegant grazing and beautifully presented food.
Founded by Hayley, S42 has always been built on heart, hard work and a passion for hospitality. From early mornings in the kitchen to late nights planning events, every detail is crafted with care. As the café grew, so did the demand for something more — people wanted the same S42 quality for their celebrations, businesses and special occasions. And so, S42 Catering Co. was born.
Today, we're proud to serve our community in two special ways:
S42 Café – a cosy, friendly space for breakfast, brunch, lunch, cakes and catch-ups.
S42 Catering Co. – our premium service offering grazing tables, corporate events, celebrations, brunch boards, charcuterie letters and bespoke catering.
What has stayed the same from day one is our commitment to great food, local suppliers, and welcoming everyone like family. We've built something rooted in community — from book clubs and creative groups to local collaborations and special events.
S42 is more than a café and more than a catering company.
It's a place shaped by the people who walk through our doors, the support of our loyal customers, and the joy of bringing people together through food.
And our story is only just beginning.
Vision Statement
Our vision is to become the leading community-focused café and catering brand in our region — known for exceptional food, outstanding service and meaningful connections.
We aim to continue growing our hospitality family while staying true to our roots: supporting local people, celebrating local talent, and offering food that inspires, comforts and brings joy.
As we grow, we see S42 as a place where community thrives, creativity is encouraged, and every event — big or small — feels special, memorable and uniquely "S42."
