An outside catering company based in Exeter is branching out with its first café.

Fresha, based in Sowton, Exeter, purchased the new property, situated on the same site as its existing company activities on Sowton Industrial Estate, last week, and plans to open a café there in the first week of September.

The 4,000sq ft premises will seat 100 people, mainly catering for the needs of people in the industrial estate and nearby Exeter Business Park. It will serve a range of 100% Fairtrade drinks, including tea and coffee, cakes, sandwiches, paninis and full hot meals, all made on the premises.

The company started four years ago with a sandwich van, before going into the buffet market and growing into an outside catering company.

Fresha currently employs 15 people and aims to source local ingredients from regional suppliers, focusing on being as environmentally friendly as possible, ideals it will carry through to the café.
