Jessica Beach, of No.78 Speciality Coffee said: "Myself and the team at No.78 are excited for this new venture within the business and we are looking forward to opening our evening doors to you on Wednesday.

"A selection of local cheeses will be on offer, served with local chutneys, frozen grapes, walnuts, and a selection of crackers and focaccia.

"This isn't just a one night thing. Ask a member of the team for what cheese is available on the day."

The coffee shop was opened by ward councillor Iris Andersen (TVBC, St Mary's) who said she is extremely pleased to see the business going from strength to strength.

She said: "This is great to know that a business is being versatile. Sometimes you just want to have somewhere you can chill out - what better than having a glass of wine and different cheeses with crackers on a summer's evening. This goes on a lot in the continent!"
