The £3.2m station’s new eaterie will be run by Nosh Retail - owned by Worksop-born man Steve Batty.

Nosh Retail has six outlets in the UK – including one at Sheffield’s Meadowhall.

The café was officially opened by Mr Batty and Nottinghamshire County Council chairman, councillor Sybil Fielding, who cut a cake baked especially for the occasion.

The new café will offer an extensive breakfast, hot and cold light lunches and serve Fairtrade coffee, along with a wide range of other hot and cold drinks.

“We pride ourselves on delivering great tasting, freshly prepared food and drinks, all with fast, friendly service,” said Mr Batty.

“We use top-quality ingredients and our range of hot and cold food and drinks, prepared daily in our kitchens, is available to eat in or take away.

“I was born and bred in Worksop and as a result know the area very well.
