Wolverhampton cafe proud to be more than a greasy spoon with friendly welcomes and proper breakfasts
Nestled inside a busy business estate is a hidden gem of a cafe where quality and friendly service are delivered as standard.
The East Park Trading Estate on the outskirts of Wolverhampton is the home of Hickmans Cafe, a cafe which rises above being just a mere greasy spoon by providing quality products with fresh ingredients.
The cafe has been a feature of the estate, which sits opposite East Park, for years and has been under the stewardship of leaseholder Diane Clay since May last year, who said she had never worked in a cafe before, but after being made redundant, saw it and decided to go for it.
She said: "I'd just been made redundant after working, quite happily, in a factory for years and I was just looking for something different to do when I saw this come up.
"I'd never worked in a cafe before, but just saw that this was for sale on Facebook and came over to have a look and it was one of those things where you walk in and it just feels right.
"My son-in-law Luke is a chef, so we had a chat about this and decided to just go for it."
