Cosy Coffee on The
Green at St Helens

It’s the missing piece in the St Helens jigsaw. A coffee shop
has opened on the Green, bridging the gap between local
restaurants and pubs.
“People say it is just what St Helens needed,” says
proprietor Debbie Hewitt. “That it’s the perfect place for
delicious morning coffee, a light lunch or afternoon tea.”
With knickerbocker glories, milkshakes and cup cakes on the
menu, The Green is popular with young and old alike and is a
great venue for lunch and tea parties.
With charming décor inspired by the Green outside,
this little gem also sells an inspired range of gifts – from
freshwater pearls to locally sourced pictures, cushions, bags
and greeting cards.
It is also the base from which Debbie operates her
well-established outside catering business. “It has been a
hectic summer of drinks parties, dinner parties, birthday
lunches and funeral teas. I work closely with my clients
offering menu suggestions and a personal service to suit
their requirements. Everything is freshly cooked to order and
delivered, or I will stay and cook, serve and clear away so
they can relax and enjoy their party.”
Now that Autumn is upon us The Green will be a cosy place
to linger – with an open fire, daily papers, hot soup and
irresistible homemade cakes on the menu.
Or make seasonal shopping a treat at one of The Green’s
Christmas Gift Fairs, 12noon to 6pm on Sunday 5th &
Monday 6th December.
The Green Coffee & Gift Shop, 19 Lower Green Road, St
Helens. Tel: [phone]. Winter opening hours Tuesday to
