Non-Profit Organisation, the Population and Community Development Association (PDA), has secured the site for a second UK restaurant in Cheltenham through leisure property specialists Fleurets. Restaurant Cabbages & Condoms will launch at 44-48 St James’ Street in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire in late November 2014. The venue comprises 150 covers displayed on two floors.
Cabbages & Condoms is a Thai restaurant and resort group based in Bangkok, Thailand (pictured above). It is owned and managed as a social enterprise by PDA, one of Thailand’s most well established and diverse non-government organisations. The aim of Cabbages & Condoms is to offer healthy food together with healthy sexual advice.
Guaranteed not to cause pregnancy
Cabbages & Condoms Restaurant operates as a “Business for Social Progress” and its profits support the PDA. Founded in 1986, Cabbages & Condoms Restaurant is conceptualised to generate income to support various social development activities of PDA such as programmes in primary health, education, HIV/AIDS prevention, environmental protection and so on.
Cabbages & Condoms Restaurants offer an exquisite and authentic Thai menu that makes the restaurant and food stand out from other Thai restaurants in Bangkok. And what is most important of all, as their slogan goes, ‘’our food is guaranteed not to cause pregnancy”
Chris Irving, Divisional Director at Fleurets Bristol, says: “The venue is positioned in central Cheltenham and offers an ideal location for the restaurant. I am confident that the city will welcome this new operator as well as its cause”.
The first UK Cabbages & Condoms restaurant opened in Bicester, Oxfordshire, in 2012.
Founded in 1974, The Population and Community Development Association is one of Thailand’s most well established and diverse non-government organisations. Operating from Bangkok, 16 regional development centres and branch offices in rural Thailand, PDA’s programs are based on the belief that local people are best suited to shape and sustain their own development. PDA has pioneered grassroots growth marked by extensive villager involvement not only as beneficiaries but also as planners, managers and leaders.
