A café in the maternity building at the George Eliot Hospital is ready to serve patients and visitors.

The facility was closed at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Since then, the café has undergone a complete refurbishment to update facilities.

The café is managed by volunteers from the George Eliot League of Friends who provide essential support for the hospital and its patients.

The League of Friends' friendly volunteers will be serving drinks, sandwiches and snacks each weekday from 10am - 2pm.
