OUR STORY

Hi! We're Chris and Stephen - brothers and founders of The Coffee House. The idea was born from a lifelong dream to create a chain of premium coffee shops that serve incredible food and drink, in an environment where people can EAT, DRINK and RELAX in the heart of their communities.

Our journey began back in 2011, when we opened our very first store in our home village of Lymm. Fast forward 14 years, and we're preparing to open our next location, with even more on the horizon! While we've grown, we've stayed true to our values. We remain a proudly independent business, driven by the same passion and determination that inspired us from day one.

At The Coffee House, we're always looking ahead, and our pursuit of quality is at the core of everything we do. As a fast paced and growing company, we offer a culture where every team member feels truly valued, because we know our people are the key to our success. Our vision is simple: to become the leading independent coffee operator in England. With delicious, high quality products, modern spaces and passionate, friendly teams - we believe the best is still to come.

If you're ready to grow with a company that's leading the way and become a part of something special, we'd love to hear from you. We can't wait for you to join us on this journey!

THE COFFEE HOUSE ACADEMY

We recognise structured training is key to the success, development and happiness of each individual. We encourage and champion those who want to develop their career.

As such we have created The Coffee House Academy, a programme that will provide new members of staff with all the training elements they need to kick start their journey with us.
