A historic village building is set to begin a new chapter.

A little magic is coming to Prestbury as The Magic Roundabout Coffee Shop prepares to open its doors on Thursday, November 19.

Taking over the former Olde School, Paul Lucas and Joanna Scott-Aspray are inviting local residents, businesses and visitors to pop in and discover what's in store with a special launch event from midday to 7pm.

Joanna said: "Paul and I have wanted to bring our experience together in a place that feels like us: good food, a warm welcome and plenty of reasons to return.

"This building already has such a wonderful connection with Prestbury and their community, and we're excited to become part of its next chapter.

"We want people to feel comfortable popping in on their own, bringing friends or staying a little longer over coffee, cake, a glass of fizz or a G&T - a little of everything we love."

The Magic Roundabout Coffee Shop will offer home-cooked food, speciality coffees, homemade cakes, smoothies and afternoon teas, alongside fresh flowers, gifts and a warm welcome for four-legged friends.

The historic building, which opened as a village school in 1721, will also become the permanent home of The Cheshire Club's Signature Blends gin collection, new gin candles and Pure Magic Vodka.

Looking ahead, Paul and Joanna are also planning to host tasting evenings, creative workshops, private celebrations and special events.

Paul said: "After more than 35 years in hospitality and catering, I know how much the everyday details matter: food made with care, friendly service, a community feel and somewhere you feel very welcome.

"That's what we want to bring to The Magic Roundabout."
