Terry's Trivia
Who is Terry?
In 1982, Terry opened what is now known as the world famous Terry’s Cafe – a traditional English cafe serving honest, unpretentious, good-value food combined with friendly service. Terry was a passionate ambassador for small businesses and his local community, a legacy carried on by his son, Austin.
Who is Austin?
Terry’s son. As the second-generation cafe owner, Austin continues to honour his father’s traditions – using the finest produce from Smithfield meat market and London’s fruit and veg markets. Since 2010, Austin has brought fresh-ground coffee to the menu, expanded the cafe, and upheld Terry’s winning formula of traditional values while proudly promoting British culture.
Will Austin, the host with the most, be there?
If you’re lucky 😉
