Founder, Kris Otisons said: “Our former seating area has gone unused since lockdown - the team and I kept talking about what we could do with the space to create something that would be truly useful for our local community.

"We hope we’ve done just that with our new pre-loved cookbook shop.

“When I was training to be a pastry chef in London all those years ago, I spent my weekends in second-hand shops looking for different cookbooks - I wanted to learn more about different techniques and find new recipes to share with my friends and family. 

“Whether it’s a recipe from the old tried and tested cookbook passed down from my Oma (my grandmother) or testing a new recipe from my all-time favourite chef - Mary Berry - the excitement and satisfaction you get during the time in the kitchen is worth every minute no matter the success of the end result.

"We can’t wait to hear about the delicious new experiment journeys our customers will embark on while testing out the new recipes from these pre-loved cookbooks.”

All the books in the store will be priced at £4.99.
