A NEW Winchester café has reopened following a three-week refurbishment.

NAAFI Cafe, in St George's Street, opened its doors to customers on Thursday, July 27 after a full refit.

As previously reported, the branch, run by NAAFI, originally opened in mid-April in the unit formally occupied by Rawberry.

The café shut its doors for its refurbishment in July, three months after it originally opened.

A NAAFI spokesperson said: “With lots of comfortable seating across two floors there is plenty of space to catch up with family and friends, with artwork and NAAFI history decorating the walls.

“With cafés already open in Catterick, Lancaster and Whiteley, NAAFI also re-opened Scarborough on the same day after its brand-new refit, with many more planned around the UK.

"With locations around the world in the Falklands, Ascension Island, Brunei, Gibraltar, Germany and on-board Royal Navy ships, NAAFI is re-establishing its name in the UK with a bang.”

More information about NAAFI can be found on its website. A formal VIP invite-only opening is scheduled to take place at the end of August.
