A Lichfield hotel will launch a new coffee shop in the city centre next week.
The George Hotel has teamed up with Paddy & Scott’s to open the new outlet on Bird Street from Tuesday (3rd October).
Opening seven days a week from 8am, there will be coffees from their Muchomba farm in Kenya as well as a range of other hot drinks and sandwiches.
Anthony Greenidge, general manager of The George Hotel, said:
“We have been working with Paddy & Scott’s for two years now in the hotel, serving their community driven coffee at breakfast and in the bar.
“This new partnership is a fantastic addition to Lichfield and we know the community will love the ethos and messaging of the Paddy & Scott’s brand which is all about working directly with the farmers and supporting the communities in the coffee growing regions”.

Located 300km north of Nairobi, the coffee farm is run by George Muchomba and his eldest son Isaac work to create one of the finest coffee farms in the world.
Customers will be able to enjoy their drinks inside the cafe or in an outside seating area. Drinks will also be available to take away.
Scott Russell, founder of Paddy & Scott’s, said:
“This is a very exciting time for us as a business – a new cafe means a new chapter.
“I’m thrilled our coffee will be fueling the ambition of the Lichfield community.”

ANOTHER PLACE to drink expensive coffee !!!! I don’t think so !!
That’s great, Lichfield abit short on coffee shops. Haha
Not another one…
Another coffee shop 🤔
I remember when the George Hotel manager put on social media a few years ago when a cafe was opening up in town “not another cafe “. Oh how the tide has changed.
This coffee shop is just so badly needed, massive potential for lots of profits!!! all it needs is paying customers with no other options
I think we should change the name of the station from Lichfield City to Lichfield Coffee.
It may seem that Lichfield is over-supplied with coffee shops, but they all seem to be doing OK. The only recent failure that I can think of was Combat Coffee on Upper St John Street, which was just in the wrong location.
What would people prefer, bearing in mind the type of premises that coffee shops usually occupy?
Ian…that really was a weird one. Barely room to swing a cat (and ironically they were dog-friendly) and with very little passing trade. It was doomed to fail from the outset.
Not another coffee shop! To be honest it would be good if the already in situ coffee shops could learn how to make a good coffee! and the local people support the small local businesses/shops if they want Lichfield to remain an attractive/useful/thriving place. Take a trip to the most basic establishment in Europe and one will find fantastic coffee, hot, tasty, with a good and lasting crema! Not the brown semi warm flat dishwater that many UK establishment slop out!
oh wow a coffee shop ? That’s unusual for Lichfield!! I’ve been meaning to count how many places you can sit and have a coffee in Lichfield..do l include Tescos, the hub , birds ,Greg’s the theatre.Mc Donald’s , the council offices ,beacon park …or just the actual coffee shops
