A new business is thriving after a village in need of a café had two open within a matter of months. Located on the Nottinghamshire border, residents in Collingham, near Newark, are thrilled to welcome Beyond Coffee into the village, which is located in the unit next to the Lincolnshire Co-op - empty since the previous café closed years ago.
Towards the end of 2022 villagers were pleased to see Lulu's Kitchen open on the High Street, and now feel they are spoilt for choice with a second café in the growing village. Run by Lincolnshire friends and co-owners, Sam Cornford, 33, and Adam Jackson, 38, Beyond Coffee opened its doors for the first time on February 11, 2023.
Sam said: "We had a little place before in Fernwood and we did events and festivals as well, then this opportunity came up. We had already built up a bit of a customer base in Collingham, so we thought why not, let's give it a go.
