Thirty people from local businesses, including food bloggers, were invited along to be some of the first to see the changes.

They were treated to canapes and glasses of fizz to celebrate the occasion.

Matthew Harris, operations manager at the venue, said: “We re-branded because we wanted to showcase our food menu. We still have coffee and cake available in the front lounge area, but we now have more formal seating towards the rear. All the food is now freshly prepared in house using the best local ingredients where possible.”

The new menu includes vegan vegetable tagine with Israeli cous cous and falafel, homemade blueberry pancakes, homemade pies, burgers, homemade fishcake served with poached eggs and hollandaise sauce, paninis, sandwiches and afternoon tea.

Matthew said: “The menus will be changing frequently as we’re always listening to our guests feedback.

“When still named Edison’s Coffee we were always knows as a coffee house or café, but we wanted to be able to attract all different types of clientele so we decide to re-launch as a causal dining daytime restaurant.
