PICTURES show how a new café in Hereford has transformed a property.

The Garden Café has opened in Capuchin Yard, off Church Street, offering vegetarian meals and homemade items, such as cakes and soft drinks.

Nutters Café previously ran from the building, which was also a vegetarian café, for nearly 30 years.

But it has now had a refurbishment after owners of the Garden Café David and Katie Hemmings took it on, who also run the already established King Street Kitchen.
