High end supermarket on the edge of Merseyside opens new cafe

A branch of the high end supermarket Booths on the edge of Merseyside has launched a new cafe.

Café 1847 has opened in Hesketh Bank, 10 miles from Southport, inside the store that is one of the closest Booths to Merseyside. The name was chosen to mark the date the company was founded in Blackpool. The newly reimagined cafe is a celebration of great coffee, tea and delicious food, freshly made using seasonal and local ingredients.

Customers can enjoy specialities such as the 1847 Signature Breakfast, Booths Ploughman’s Lunch, artisan sandwiches, strawberry cream tea, and a range of cakes from Studio Bakery and The Harrogate Cake Co. Café 1847 is also introducing “Little Foodies”, a menu specifically designed for smaller appetites.

Store manager Jenni Stancolmbe said: “Café 1847 is a complete revamp of how we run our cafes, the new space is warm and welcoming, and we want customers to feel special the moment they arrive. We reviewed and redesigned every aspect of our offer to create a café experience fitting for Booths that paid homage to our beginnings as tea and coffee merchants.”

“We roast and blend our own coffee and tea in-house, bringing 175 years of passion and expertise to your cup. This is the perfect chance to celebrate what we do best with our customers and tell our story.

“We’ve really tried to think about the little details that make a difference to a meal, right down to our children’s colouring page that features our newly named lion character, Dandy, which was named by our customers. Our colleagues have been on extensive training programmes and hospitality skills workshops to deliver truly top-notch service.

“It has been a wonderful project to be involved in and I know our colleagues and customers are going to love it!”
