Sweet Revenge cafe Blackrod undergoes revamp, with new kitchen

Sweet Revenge in Blackrod is known in the village for its range of homemade cakes and hot drinks. 

On July 15 it will celebrate its first anniversary, after a "difficult" year.

In November last year, the cafe was crashed into by a car, damaging its front end. 

But now the business has had a makeover and will welcome a new business, 'Combo Kitchen' into the fold.

In contrast to the sweet treats offered by the existing cafe, the new kitchen will offer healthy, protein-based meals, as well as traditional breakfast barms. 

Simon Woodhead, co-owner of Sweet Revenge, said: "On July 15 it will be one year since we have been open, been a very difficult year but we have got through.

"Local bareknuckle boxer Naff 'The Hurricane' Higson will own and run Combo Kitchen in the back. He is a fantastic character and we're lucky to have him on board. 

"He will offer healthy protein-based meals, offering a balance with Sweet Revenge. 

"The main idea is healthy food can taste rubbish, no one enjoys doing it. His menu is a flavoursome menu that isn't rubbish!" 

Naff's menu will include rice boxes and wraps, which can be had with steak, chicken or halloumi, as well as jacket potatoes.

He will also serve breakfast bacon and sausage barms between 10am and 12pm. 

The cafe's interior has also undergone a revamp. Simon said: "When the crash happened, it had quite a big mental effect on the people in the shop, some were not coming in. 

"One night we decided to strip it out, we had it cleared out, it looked like we were shutting up shop. 

"It took five days, we moved it all around and revamped it. We have sofa corners which are different, it is a large improvement, everyone who comes in is over the moon."
