Having operated outside the UK for the past few years, now they are excited to re-establish their name and welcome in the city’s community.

Since acquiring the site on Market Street in May, the cafe has been patiently awaiting a stylish refit to bring it in line with their other brand-new locations.

The cafe itself reopened on Thursday, October 5.

The Royal NAAFI has been passionate about supporting British Armed Forces communities around the world since 1920.

And, as a not-for-profit organisation, it returns all trading surpluses back into supporting Armed Forces communities, either as direct contributions or investment into the facilities they operate.

The same mission applies to their NAAFI Cafes and, with every cuppa purchased, customers are giving back to their Forces communities.
