A Telford business is bringing its culinary expertise to Telford Ice Rink by opening a new cafe at the popular leisure facility.

Odd Pals, which also serves up a variety of dishes at its base in Wellington Market, has opened up a second premises at the Telford & Wrekin Council-owned ice rink thanks to support from the Council’s Pride in Our High Street programme.

Experienced chef Matt Palin and Vee Odrakiewicz opened their street food stall at the market in May 2023 after working in other kitchens and hospitality venues.

Over the last two years, Odd Pals has become an extremely popular addition to the historic venue - offering a menu inspired by street food around the world but with ingredients mostly sourced from within the market.

Based in the market’s food court, Odd Pals dishes range from Philly cheese steaks and katsu curries to Asian grills and a different take on gammon, egg and chips.

Matt and Vee were supported initially to set-up in the market after receiving a Pride in Our High Street business start-up grant.

Now the pair are looking forward to expanding their business by opening the cafe at Telford Ice Rink where they plan to offer a menu to cater for the ice rink clients and ice hockey supporters and teams.
