A POPULAR independent cafe has opened a new branch in Oxfordshire.

After operating for 12 years in Witney, Delice has now opened a second store in Carterton.

Daniela Cazan, from the cafe, said: “We want to thank everyone for their continued support.

“During the past few months, Witney and the surrounding areas have really shown their true community spirit during these times.

“We wouldn’t have been able to expand if it wasn’t for our loyal customers and support from the local community.”

The new shop can be found in Brize Norton Road, and offers a range of fresh sandwiches, cakes and cookies.

Witney’s High Street store reopened at the end of July, following relaxing of the Government lockdown restrictions.

It has made use of additional outdoor seating to accommodate for social distancing, aided in this by neighbouring businesses Luke Anderson Hairdressing, Curry Paradise and Ladbrokes, which have all allowed outdoor seating outside their premises.

Delice has also been taking part in the Eat Out to Help Out scheme.
