A fire from a neighbouring property significantly damaged our Coffee Shop back in September meaning it has been closed since then in order to be rebuilt. This is therefore an exciting time to join the team as we will have a new kitchen and Coffee Shop for both our staff and customers to enjoy. You will also be part of an entirely new team.
Heritage is well known for its emphasis on homemade and quality food and is particularly popular for its homemade cakes. It also has a large garden that is fabulous in the Summer.
