    A coffee shop in Hampsthwaite will reopen this weekend after being forced to close due to covid.

    Sophie's Coffee Shop and Bistro closed on Sunday after a relative of a member of staff tested positive for the virus.

    But the shop announced on its Facebook page yesterday that all staff concerned had tested negative.

    It added that although the results were negative, it had decided to hire a professional deep cleaning team to deep clean the entire inside and outside of the building.

    The clean will also include a new marquee, which has been purchased to allow more space for customers. The cafe had to halve its capacity to follow social distancing rules and said the marquee would allow it to seat more customers safely.

    Sophie Jacob, owner of the shop, said:

    "We're excited to reopen, we have taken all the necessary precautions. On Wednesday a cleaning company will come and spray the marquee and inside to disinfect the premises. We chose to do this.
    "This week we're setting up the new marquee. We had people waiting in their cars sometimes to come in so we wanted to set this up to have more space."


    The team is hopeful that its measures will ensure customers feel confident to return this weekend.
