Patients and staff have been able to enjoy a new café as it opened inside Watford General Hospital today.

Peabodys Coffee had already opened in Watford General Hospital in January inside a temporary site, but with renovations complete it has now begun trading in a new space with a much larger seating area.

Located at the main reception, the larger café held a welcome event for staff to sample the coffee and cakes from 7am this morning (May 17).

She added: “We have been working with the NHS since 1997 and to date have eight outlets operating at some of the busiest hospitals, with more planned this year.
