Sherwood cafe set to raise the roof
NEW EATERY WILL OFFER INSIDE AND OUTSIDE DINING
A NEW Nottingham café is hoping to serve alcohol and put on live entertainment when it opens its doors.
CGI images reveal what the new café, which will be called Bronte & Co on 589 Mansfield Road, Sherwood, will look like.
The dining space will include an outside area with a large roof that can be open and closed depending on the weather.
The venue is due to open for business in the first week of December.
Zip Bakery, the company running the café, has a licence to sell bread, cakes, confectionary and beverages in an unlicensed café.
But an application to change parts of its licence has been submitted, including selling alcohol between 10am and 11pm every day, live entertainment and late night refreshment indoors and outdoors.
The café used to be an old amusement arcade and stood dormant for almost a decade.
Shoppers and Sherwood locals welcomed the latest addition to the high street.
Sue Sipple, 66, who lives in Sherwood, said: “It will help to attract more people into the area.
“There are a lot of cafes around and there is a dilemma of this maybe taking away business from others.
“But it’s nice that businesses are thriving and you really do have everything here on your doorstep in Sherwood.” Susan Mccartney Martin, 61, from Sneinton, said: “It’s a good idea as people come around here for something to eat.”
A 57-year-old shopper from Mapperley Park, who did not wish to be named, said: “I don’t have a problem with it at all. “My curiosity means I will have to try it in there when it opens.” Turkishbased company STC Construction has partnered with Zip Bakery to redevelop the unit.
It’s nice that businesses are thriving. You really do have everything here on your doorstep in Sherwood.
