Owner Stephen Jempson thanked everyone for their patience over the past two weeks while it has been closed – work began on September 12.

“Thank you to our customers for bearing with us during the refurbishment,” he said.

“We hope that they thoroughly enjoy their new look café, Sophie and her team look forward to welcoming you.”

The self-service offering has been improved both in range and convenience, a new ‘meal-deal’ has been introduced that focuses on local products from Jempson’s ‘local hero’ suppliers.
