The Toastery

[Seeley Clive]

Despite being located in the centre of Nefi Village, Seeleys cafe known as 'The Toastery' still enjoys plentiful land around it most of which is owned by crop growing farmers or the village officials in order to promote more 'Green space' in a bid to prevent the are from becoming like the more built up areas in the region.

A short walk from the main hub of shops, the land around it has been bought up by Seeley for future expansion as well as plentiful parking for both vehicles and Pokemon, of course the Cafe also allows for Pokemon of all shapes and sizes to enjoy with a large loading bay around the back for any Pokemon that cannot enter through the front door.

Large Glass panels down one side of the building allow for natural light to enter and reduce electrical costs, that combined with the on site Rotom means that very little expenditure is needed for Electricity. These glass panels also off set the rustic and almost run down look one might have seen from the old farmers Barn. 

Walking towards the cafe would allow you to see the plentiful picnic tables outside for warm weathers as well as a play area for younger and smaller Pokemon. Large thick treated wooden poles also stick into the ground reinforced by metal with a thick rope used to tie large ships in at bay dangling from the top, several tires looped onto the end with the thick rope tied to a knot to prevent them from coming off, larger Pokemon can enjoy one of the largest games of tetherball every created. That side of the cafe exterior has of course been reinforced.

Out of sight from the front of the Toastery a large garden is hidden away complete with large greenhouse and an even larger lake built into the rear of the farmland nearby, both of which hold many secrets.

The Cafe is Open from 6am until 5pm.

As you enter the front door of the Toastery you're met with a stylish yet still rustic layout to a large Cafe. The outer walls of the room are where the food and drinks are made with delicious smells of all varieties wafting around. In the mornings fresh bread is on the agenda with loaves and baguettes of all shapes and sizes being made for both the shop and the cafe the smell of which is somewhat purposefully wafted through the cafe and to the outside to lure in unsuspecting pedestrians.

The Cafe area opens at 6am this is to ensure the products baked in the early hours can be enjoyed whilst they are still warm for the early rising customers. If one were to come in at opening time they would usually be surrounded by farmers of the area who had been awake for several hours already wanting a breakfast and a coffee.

This floor of the Cafe includes a waiter or waitress for table service as well as a self service cold breakfast bar including pastries made fresh that morning, various yoghurts and sliced loaves of bread, cheeses and cold meats are plentiful with a fruit salad that is more at home in more exotic climes then Nefi Village.

To the side of the Checkout where you are to pay after the meal there lies a Coffee machine powered by Jools the Rotom who will be more then happy to make you any hot drink you should desire, from Coffees, Teas and various Hot Chocolates.

The Cafe is the area for various events and by contacting Seeley you can hire out the bottom floor for parties or private functions. The walls between the cafe and the restaurant above as well as the Bar below are soundproofed to ensure the happiness of the other customers whilst these events are going on.

The restaurant area is open from 1pm until 10pm

Going up the stairs by the front door to the cafe will lead you up the side of the building to the much more quiet and reserved restaurant, whilst anyone is of course welcome up here there is a more dignified atmosphere that one could easily discern from the sight of the waiters and waitresses. Whereas downstairs they have no semblance of a uniform, up here they are in black shirts and trousers with bow ties and even the Pokemon working up here have Bow ties on.

The menu upstairs is vastly more complex then the downstairs cafe one. Utilising local produce of both vegetables and meat and combining them with more expensive foreign spices and influences leads to a more expensive but thoroughly well valued meal. Whereas downstairs you may order a quick meal, upstairs you could order 5 courses and enjoy a slow evening in a quiet atmosphere.

The tables and chairs are all kept spic and span, with aesthetics being very key, many knives and forks line each place setting for each course and each table has a variety of glasses for whatever the customer may order and formality is of upmost importance.

With this being said it doesn't mean a person has to come in and order such a large meal, a couple just wanting to come in to get away from the noise is more then welcome and whilst Seeley does set out a plan to keep his cafe running a certain way it would hardly be difficult for someone to politely ask to bend the rules a little.

On the far side of the Restaurant floor stands a Teppanyaki Hot plate with an attendant that can cook your Kanto style dishes to order adding an extra bit of entertainment to your night. The rest of the food is carefully made downstairs before being sent up via a dumbwaiter to the restaurant to be served by the waiting staff.

Most evenings the room is lit up by the natural light let in via the huge glass panels on the side of the building but when the sun does eventually go down the lights are also turned low to bring forth a sense of mood lighting which has made the restaurant a popular haunt for couples young and old after 8pm.

The Bar is open from 5pm until 2am

The Bar, The Toastery's dirty little secret. Despite its advertising purposefully being kept away from Children and instead only seen in places only adults would look, The Toastery Bar is usually nearly full after 7pm, its clientele moving from older drinkers early on towards a younger market later on as the only place in Nefi Village open after 10pm. 

Serving a multitude of different drinks there is always a barman on hand that can make you whatever you'd like, no cocktail too strange, no alcohol too rare, the bar staff at Seeleys can handle any request.

Due to the nature of the drinking done down here there is a strict over 18's policy at Seeleys and whilst younger people may be allowed down early on in the day when accompanied by an adult they will be refused entry later on in the day when it can be a little more rowdy.

Casks of wine, whisky and ale line the back wall of the cafe, made on site with the Toastery's special liquor license a cheer always rings round when one of the heavy duty Pokemon that work down here have to get hold of one of the barrels and bring it to the bar to hook up to the pumps. Some barrels are empty and purely for decoration but several are filled to the brim and ready to go.

Parties can be held down here and the whole bar can be hired for private functions due to the soundproofing on the ceiling meaning no amount of noise down here will be heard up in the cafe or restaurant or even outside the building.

With Drinking obviously a potential cause for trouble the bar is always staffed with a few strong Pokemon to keep the trouble to a minimum and when he is not busy upstairs the bulking form of Seeley usually pops his head in to ensure everyone is having a good time.

The Farm shop is open from 6am until 5pm

Separate from the main building is another 'little' barn where customers to the cafe have a chance to buy any of the ingredients they may have had in their meal as well as various other meats, cheese, herbs, spices, cakes and much much more. Not only does the shop sell products made by Seeleys team at the Toastery but also products made at local farms or even people at home. Profits from each items not made by the team at Seeleys go back to the person who made them meaning the shop as a whole supports the village and puts back into the community. 

This results in the shop being regularly attended by locals who are more then happy to pay the slightly higher prices then if they were to travel to another town or city and shop in a super market and in doing so they enjoy a much higher quality of locally sourced produce.

Whereas the main Toastery building is run almost exclusively by Seeley, his Pokemon and a select few close friends, the Farm shop regularly has local youngsters as part timers with a few of Seeleys friendlier Pokemon roaming around to help out customers and to stock shelves.

The Garden is open from 6am until 5pm.

Lovingly cared for by the Toastery caretaker Spud the Ivysaur, the Garden is one of the hidden beauties of the Village. Carefully cultivated and cared for, the Garden is home to several herbs and flowers that are usually only seen in regions far away. 

The original use of the Garden was so the Toastery Cafe and Restaurant could benefit from many herbs and spices grown here but it soon became a colourful vibrant beauty spot and to popular demand Seeley opened the Garden up for Public access. 

With picnic tables set up under parasols that protect from both sun and Rain, the Garden is usable all year round with heaters that can be brought out to each table so that even through the cold weathers it is more then comfortable to be seated outside.

Away from the beautifully pruned hedges and trees that frame the garden lies a lake where a few Water Pokemon of Seeleys can enjoy themselves, backing onto farm land the lake extends far beyond the reach of the Toastery building enabling water types of all shapes and sizes to be able to relax and on very hot days be joined by their trainers for a quick swim. A popular game for kids to play is to see who can spot the Golden Magikarp that is said to live within the depths of this small lake, many claim to have seen it but to most its just an urban legend with many claiming it to just be an marketing ploy to get more customers.

At the very end of the garden stands proudly the Toastery Greenhouse. Home for Spud the Ivysaur it is used for nurturing young plants and seedlings back to health if they struggle during the tougher of Shulian weathers. This is not open for public access but from time to time if kids peek through they can usually see an Ivysaur hard and work who is always waiting with a smile and a wave.

Delivery service is available from Noon till 11pm Cafe menu only.

People live busy lives. With workloads going up and the need for multiple incomes in each household its getting harder and harder to sync up days off so that a couple or a family can actually have a day off. More regularly is that they may get an hour or two together before its time for bed. 

Being in Nefi Village, whilst great for produce and costs, may not be the most accessible place in Shula for some others which is why the Toastery offers a delivery service of its Cafe menu to any house, dwelling, route or cave in the Shula region. With its multitude of delivery Pokemon, Seeleys Toastery guarantees your order will get to you within an hour or your meal is half price. 

Whether you're on the other side of the island we have the fastest runners in Shula, if you're on another island entirely we have the best tracking birds in the industry and if youre marooned on an island in the middle of the Ocean we've got a Lapras that will guarantee you're well fed*

Ordering delivery comes at no extra cost and Seeleys Toastery is only a phone call away. 

*If you are marooned on an island or boat you are not allowed to use our Lapras as a means of rescue, please call the coastguard before ordering food from us, thank you.
