Help Bring The Waiting Room to Life

Aim

We’re a family business bringing The Waiting Room to life at Prescot Station — a little micro bar built for great food, drinks and memories.

Help Us Bring The Waiting Room to Life 

A family business, a little bar and a big idea for Prescot Railway Station.

We’re a family-run independent hospitality business, and we’ve always believed that great places are about more than just food and drink. They’re about people, atmosphere and creating somewhere you genuinely want to spend time.

A Little Thank You for Your Support!

Did you know our crowdfunding campaign isn’t just about donations?

We’ve put together some lovely rewards as a thank you for helping us bring The Waiting Room to life, including drinks vouchers, invitations to our pre-launch party, dining experiences and more!

Simply choose a reward from the options on this page and help us get one step closer to opening our doors. 💚

The family behind The Waiting Room

Now we’re taking on our next project — The Waiting Room, a new micro bar at Prescot Railway Station.

Our journey so far

Back in March, we got the keys to The Waiting Room and the real work began.

Since then, we’ve been working away behind the scenes, putting our own money, time and hard work into getting the project moving.

The walls have been plastered, the space has been prepared and we’ve already purchased the equipment needed for the bar, which is safely stored and ready to go.

The Waiting Room taking shape — walls plastered and ready for the next stage.

And this week, we’ve taken another big step — we’ve started building the bar itself.

It’s incredibly exciting to finally see something we’ve talked about and planned for so long beginning to take shape.

This week — the bar is becoming a reality.

Our vision

The idea is simple: to create a small, characterful and welcoming bar at Prescot Railway Station — somewhere to meet friends, enjoy good food and drinks, and make memories.

We want The Waiting Room to feel warm and full of character, taking inspiration from the heritage of the railway while creating somewhere that feels completely at home in Prescot.

Our vision for The Waiting Room — warm, characterful and inspired by the heritage of the railway..

Why we’re crowdfunding now

We’ve funded The Waiting Room ourselves from the beginning, but we’ve now reached the stage where the remaining funds need to stretch a little further.

The major things still needed are the flooring, seating and tables — the things that will transform the space from a building project into somewhere people can actually sit, relax, eat, drink and enjoy.

So we’ve decided to ask our customers, friends, family and local community to be part of the next stage of the journey.

We’re not asking you to fund the whole project. We’re asking you to help us finish what we’ve already started.

What we’re raising

We’re aiming to raise £9,000 to help complete the fit-out of The Waiting Room.

The main costs are:

• Flooring — £2,500
• Seating — £4,000
• Tables — £600
• Remaining funds — delivery, installation, finishing costs, campaign fees and contingency

Every pledge will go towards getting us closer to opening the doors.

Something back for your support

We didn’t want this simply to be about asking people for money, so we’ve created a range of rewards as a thank-you for supporting us.

These include drinks vouchers, an invitation to our pre-launch party, dining experiences, gift vouchers, outside catering experiences and private dining.

Hopefully there’s something for everyone — whether you simply want to support a new local independent business or would like to enjoy one of the experiences in return.

Help us finish what we’ve started 

From getting the keys in March to seeing the bar taking shape today, The Waiting Room is becoming real.

There’s still work to do, but we’re getting closer.

Every pledge, every share and every bit of support will help us take another step towards opening the doors and welcoming you into The Waiting Room.

Thank you for supporting our family business and for being part of the journey.
