00:00Hi, I'm Nat, I work at Mama Peas.

00:02Hi, I'm Stacey and I'm a cook at Mama Peas.

00:06Hi, I'm Emily and I'm a director at Mama Peas.

00:10Hi, I'm Debs, I'm a director and owner of Mama Peas at Fratton Community Centre.

00:18Mama Peas is after my mum up there.

00:24My mum was a feeder, she was the heart of the family.

00:30And she knew that one of my dreams was to be able to have my own cafe like this.

00:39Unfortunately, she passed away.

00:42But because she's the heart of the family, she's a feeder, we've called it Mama Peas.

00:49Everybody called her Mama Peas.

00:51Friends, family, much-loved lady.

00:55It's been absolutely amazing.

00:57We have just met so many people who were glad to call friends.

01:04We get to see them on a regular basis.

01:07They absolutely love the food.

01:11They love our cookie dough pies.

01:15And it's just an absolute joy to be here every day to see our regular customers.

01:22And also, we see a lot of new faces as well, which is just absolutely amazing.

01:26We have a lot of doings with the community centre as well.

01:29So it's a real family feel, a real community spirit feel.

01:33We put on a lot of different activities in the cafe and we get a lot of customers from the community centre.

01:40We have a lot of people from Pathway Support who are a company who work with adults with learning disabilities.

01:45And they love the centre.

01:47They get really involved within the cafe as well, which is really lovely.

01:51Yeah, this is their safe place, isn't it?

01:53It's an absolute amazing environment in here.

01:56It really is.

01:57And people just love the feel of the place.

02:00So, you know, when they come in, which is just amazing.

02:03And that's what we want.

02:03You don't really expect it, do you?

02:05Yeah.

02:05No, it's hidden in such a way.

02:07But we have Halloween parties, we have psychic tea evenings.

02:11So we try and include everybody within the community that there might be something here for them to enjoy.

02:17So it's opening us up to show people that we are here and we are very versatile to what we offer.

02:24Our waffles and cookie dough pies, let's go with that.

02:27That's our new venture and that is going really, really well.

02:30We're getting quite a name for ourselves for our cookie dough pies.

02:33Deb is a fantastic baker when it comes to those, creating new ingredients, creating new flavours.

02:40And we are on Just Eats now as well, as if you want a sweet treat of an evening.

02:44And Deliveroo.

02:45And Deliveroo.

02:46So there's lots of opportunity.

02:48So if you can't make it in, we can get it delivered to you.

02:51But obviously we want to see people's faces in the cafe.

02:53So it is nicer if people come in.

02:55But yeah, so the waffles are incredible, crepes.

02:58And we are actually the only small business locally that are offering that service.

03:03Apart from the big brand ones, we are the only local independent company selling that.

03:08We are giving out cupcakes with every purchase today and tomorrow.

03:12So that's running for two days.

03:15And at the end of next week, we've got a big high tea, a sidekick high tea.

03:19And that's our way of celebrating our first anniversary as well with our sidekick high tea.

03:24We're going to get bigger.

03:27We're going to get better.

03:29There's going to be more flavours of cookie day pies.

03:34And crepes and waffles.

03:36I think the sky's the limit really, isn't it?

03:37Absolutely.

03:38Yeah, absolutely.

03:39The sky's the limit.

03:41We're looking for, we've got so many plans as well.

03:44But it's just implementing them.

03:46You know, you can only do so much at a time.

03:49But we will, you know, we will get there.

03:53Absolutely, we will.

03:54You say the cookie day pies is your signature going forward?

03:57Absolutely.

03:58Yeah, I agree.

03:59Definitely.

04:00You're definitely going by the feedback and the demand.

04:04I just can't make them quick enough.

04:05I really cannot make them quick enough.
