The Coffee Chain is not what you might expect. It's nothing to do with Costa, Starbucks or any of the other major chains that dominate the high street.
Instead, it is a locally-owned coffee shop where one of the owners has a passion for cycling - hence the chain reference and all the cycle frames on the walls and memorabilia. Located within Newark’s old Warwicks and Richardsons' Brewery, it's on the outskirts of the town and somewhere customers seem to stumble across by chance - either that or through word of mouth.
But it hasn't affected trade, with the cafe proving so popular with everyone from ladies who lunch to cyclists that it's expanding. The 40-seater cafe opened in August 2019 selling 200 Degrees coffee, sandwiches, scones and cakes.
