The Coffee House opens in Huyton Village Centre

Two brothers from Lymm in Cheshire chose Huyton as the location for their latest venture as part of a mission to help rejuvenate local high streets with their expanding chain of independent coffee shops.

Both in their early twenties Chris and Stephen made the decision to quit their jobs and to set out in changing the way that people could enjoy fantastic coffee, homemade food and brilliant service all in their local vicinity. 

After spending time planning their venture they opened the doors to the first Coffee House in Lymm Village in 2011. Proving to be huge success they have since opened further stores in Sale, Partington and Widnes.

Chris and Stephen have worked alongside Knowsley Council to develop their plans – with both partners committed to development the village centre.

The team has transformed two empty shop units to make way for a substantial 1700 sq. of space making it fifth and largest Coffee House to date. It will play an integral part in offering local people a place to meet family, friends and work colleagues. 

“What we do, we will do well’ says Owner Chris Shelmerdine. “We believe that by providing excellent service, our own unique blend of coffee, fresh food made daily in our own kitchen, a fantastic range of homemade confectionaries to eat in or takeaway will provide the perfect place for people to enjoy breakfast, brunch and lunch locally.”

“It’s been hard work and long days, but what we have achieved opening Huyton is very exciting,” says Chris.
