Hi Reluctant,

Not sure whether the comment is tongue in cheek or if it does bother you that the cafe posts its weekly specials.
Yes, technically it is spam and we thought quite a bit whether we should continue on with what the last two owner and operators started with the weekly cafe post on Chockstone.
I suppose it made sense as the cafe was a long ongoing story/myth about Simey ever opening it. He eventually did and the Chockstone family shared it's journey.
See all the original posts and cafe menu threads. Ours is a new one.

The cafe has a strong climbing connection, it's a meeting place for climbers for rest days, for info and when the weather really craps out. We the owners, are all climbers and hope the cafe stays with a strong climbing connection. But we are more than accepting if the general consensus thinks it is out of order that we post on Chockstone and will cease doing so if this is the case.
Historically there have often been threads that are considered commercial - but they have had close links to climbers and are seen as a benefit.

cheers, the cafe team
