“Coffee#1 has an excellent reputation though, delivering carefully handcrafted coffee made with passion and skill, which will make it a popular spot with the Warwick community, which is keen to retain its status of a town supporting small and independent businesses.

“I’m confident that the business will prove a success in the town, not least thanks to its superb position,” he added.
