The new-look Coffee Shop Opens for Business!


This lunchtime was quite exciting for our catering staff as after a short period of refurbishment, the coffee shop reopened with the new serving counter.  The new counter is designed to allow self-service which means that hopefully popping in for a cake and some coffee will be much easier to do, and quicker, and customers will be better able to view the selection of food available.

Our catering manager, Jenney Robinson, is delighted with the new counter.

"We've moved the staff access to the street end which is a lot better for staff and customers," she explained. "The till area is a lot less congested and staff are not squeezing past each other where hot drinks are being prepared.  Food is displayed much better now whilst being properly chilled so customers can serve themselves from the full range of food available. As customers become used to the layout it should improve the speed of service."


There are a couple of finishing touches that will go in over the next few days but when I was in the coffee shop this lunchtime staff and customers seemed very pleased with the new design.  I have to say also that the cakes on display were very tempting indeed!  Why not pop in next time you're in Truro?

Nice shiny new coffee shop, we both like the new look and layout.
All the best, Andrew and Ann Wyard.
