We just wanted to say something about how we choose to show up online.

We are not anti-AI. Like most tools, it has a place, and we know people are using it in lots of clever ways.

But it is not how we want to promote Brick Stop.

When we show you a toastie, a bake, a ridiculous milkshake or a corner of the café, we want it to be the real thing you will actually get to eat, drink or see when you visit us.

Not a prettier version of it.
Not something that only exists on a screen.

Brick Stop has always been about play, creativity and making things feel a little more human.

That means using real photos, showing the real café, celebrating the people who help us make it look how it does, and occasionally using a slightly questionable cardboard Homer Simpson doughnut to get the point across.

We will always choose real food, real people and real creativity over making everything look perfectly polished.

And it will also probably take us longer to do it than chuck something through ai.. but you deserve better and so do we!

Because the real thing is so much better!!!

No judgement at all if AI images, posters is part of how you market your business. It is just not what we want to take for Brick Stop.

What do you think: should brands be clearer when the food, products or spaces they show are AI-generated?

A small business cannot become the success it deserves to be if nobody knows it exists.

We recently heard that people thought we were posting too much on social media.

At the time, we were posting twice a week. If that.

Then this weekend, three separate groups told us they had seen Brick Stop online and decided to come and visit. And they aren’t the only ones.

That was 12 people spending time in Caterham, booking a table, having food, drinks, treats and choosing to support a small independent business.

People travel for us. Have gone out of their way for us. Sometimes to experience the calm. Sometimes just to say hello and leave us with pearls of wisdom and well wishes. It’s truly humbling.

That is what visibility can do.

It is not just about likes or views. It is about helping the right people find you, giving them a reason to visit, and creating the chance for a little idea to grow into something much bigger.

In a town of around 15,000 people, we have welcomed more than 20,000 visits in just under a year.

And we’ve increased other local shops footfall.

We are incredibly proud of that.

So yes, we are going to keep posting. We are going to keep sharing the dream as much as we can! The busy days, the hard days, the mistakes, the small wins and everything it takes to build Brick Stop from scratch.

If you are building something too, this is your reminder to post the thing.

And those who don’t like it, can swipe right on past!

Here’s how this is going to work.

Over the next two weeks, our full priced seats are £1 off. The only seats it does not include is our midweek kids seats.

You can book a session from now until the end of the year.

You will be able to make use of this discount all the way until October 3rd at midnight.

It’s as simple as that.

Book as many times as you want!

Over the next two weeks we have some very exciting things going on to celebrate our one year anniversary.

Including specials for our customers who visit.

Can’t wait to see you soon

Claire, James, Kylo and our amazing team Brick Stop

Send this to someone who needs to hear it today..

And remember that Instagram is a highlight reel.

Behind every post, every business and every big dream, there are doubts people do not always share.

We are all carrying things that other people cannot see.

We are so grateful for every person who has visited, supported, recommended and encouraged Brick Stop. This is simply a reminder to us and to anyone building something that one difficult voice should not become louder than the people quietly rooting for you.

If self-doubt is getting loud today, come back to your why.

And just keep swimming!

You’ve got this 🫶🏼

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are closing at 4pm.See you tomorrow!!

We didn’t want to open another softplay..

Don’t get me wrong. We’ve come a long way since the Wacky Palace (even though this sis still running and probably hasn’t been cleaned since 2000)

For us it was way more. With the hospitality industry struggling so much. We wanted to bring something different. A bit out of the box. To make people smile. To focus on design and service. Ensuring every customer leaves feeling great. Exceptional drinks and food that is simple to make but packed with high quality ingredients.

Hundreds of LEGO sets that get cleaned between uses. A space that feels great to sit in. Something for adults as much as kids.

Some of these decisions definitely cost us more and we are set on keeping our costs low. Some would have definitely been easier had we done them differently.

But they’re the things that make Brick Stop, Brick Stop.

What’s one thing we should never change at Brick Stop?
