A family run business, serving the NHS since 1994, CHAT aims to care for our customers with the highest level of service possible. We employ approximately 65 people from the greater Belfast area and beyond.

Chat Coffee Logo

At CHAT, we pride ourselves on our coffee. We focused on sourcing the best equipment that produces a great tasting product and training for staff to make it perfectly for our customers. We enjoy working alongside Specialist Beverages, who support us in delivering great tasting coffee to our customers.

The coffee is complimented by our carefully chosen, local tray bakes, hot food and confectionery. We cater for a full range of dietary requirements and aim to provide something different for our customers.

Chat Newsagent Logo

Our newsagent provides everything that you could need, making things as easy as possible for our customers. Where we can, we prefer to use the best local produce, we’re proud to be trading partners with local bakery French Village and local fresh food suppliers Around Noon Sandwiches.

Due to the popularity of our business, the NHS awarded us a contract to supply food and beverages in their new Cancer Centre complex in 2006. We have loved providing food and beverages services to Cancer centre staff, patients and visitors over the last 10 years.

We also support 2 hospital charity's throughout the year, 'Friends of the Cancer Centre' and 'Association of Friends'. The staff volunteer with various fundraising events, provide continuous support with charitable boxes and yearly private donations.
