A new coffee shop in Lichfield city centre has welcomed its first customers.
Paddy & Scott’s, on Bird Street, has been launched in partnership with The George Hotel.
It uses coffee from the Muchomba farm in Kenya and is open from 8am seven days a week.
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”.

The dog-friendly coffee shop also serves sandwiches, cakes, pastries and cold drinks.
Scott Russell, founder of Paddy & Scott’s, said:
“This is a very exciting time for us as a business, a new café means a new chapter.
“I’m thrilled our coffee will be fuelling the ambition of the Lichfield community.”

So pleased we really needed another coffee shop in Lichfield.
We do not need more coffee shops we have enough soon Lichfield will be for tourists only we already have to shop away from Lichfield years ago I could get everything I needed not any more
There is very little Retail in Lichfield to visit or Browse . Perhaps we could Browse all the Coffee Shops and Visit the Eateries.
I will not be doing this I find them all overpriced and overrated
Lichfield is now just a tourist place. I really do miss decent shops in Lichfield. Even the tourists will eventually lose interest
Do we really need another bloody coffee shop?
Would you all rather see an empty unit?
Coffee shops and restaurants are replacing retail units all over the country, not just in Lichfield.
The market decides what sort of places flourish and which ones fail, if retail units are closing it clearly means there isn’t enough demand for that, while coffee shops continue to thrive.
We all like a moan but let’s give this business a chance.
What is better than a coffee shop, obviously some think an empty shop!!
Well done guys – Great to see partnerships work. Thanks for investing in Lichfield. Hope to get there for a coffee again soon
Really! Another coffee shop.There is nowhere in Lichfield to buy decent mens clothes anymore. Tourists visit Lichfield for the Cathedral and have lunch so it will appeal to them.People that live here have to shop online or visit Tamworth.
Robert – Try FatFace. Or White Stuff. Or Mankind Menswear. Or Michael’s Menswear. Or Seasalt. Or Mountain Warehouse. Or New Look. I’m trying to think of a decent menswear store that Lichfield has lost in the last five years and I can only think of Debenhams. But I don’t know what you think decent men’s clothes means.
Alice, they’re all valid choices for Dad/Grandad ages but there’s absolutely nowhere for younger males to buy clothing (and no, l don’t consider Sports Direct tracksuits as clothing).
At least Debenhams had brands and concessions aimed at the younger section.
Oh dear Alice you actually consider those decent.
