Black Sheep Coffee: A New Hub for Brierfield, Lancashire - A Boost for the Local Community

On June 17th, 2025, Black Sheep Coffee, a UK-based coffee chain with over 70 sites across the country, will open its latest venue on the Northlight Estate in Brierfield, Lancashire. The new café will be part of a £32 million mill project restoration that transforms the Grade-II listed Brierfield Mill into a hub for offices, flats, and leisure facilities. The company's proposal to fit out the building with a service counter, indoor and outdoor seating areas, and signage was approved by Pendle Council in February 2025. The new outlet is independently owned and managed by a local franchise partner. Black Sheep Coffee is offering an opening promotion with coffees priced at £1 on the first day. Over the opening weekend, iced blueberry matcha drinks will be priced at £2. The brand differentiates itself by exclusively serving coffees made with speciality-grade Robusta beans, known for their higher caffeine content and a stronger, more bitter flavour compared to the widely used Arabica beans. In addition to its coffee offerings, Black Sheep Coffee has expanded its menu with a new lemonade category, introducing Lychée, Lavender, Passionfruit, and Peach options, with options to add classic or matcha-spiked lemonade. Customers can further customise their drinks with Black Sheep Coffee's signature boosters, which include prebiotic fibre, collagen, nootropics, and cannabidiol (CBD). The estate director and brand manager of the new franchise, Holly Ducker, stated: "This marks a fantastic milestone for the development and our entire team. We're proud to be partnering with Black Sheep Coffee - it's a brilliant addition to the site and one we're confident will become a go-to spot for both our Northlighters and the wider community." In May 2025, the company revealed plans to double its presence in Scotland by 2030. The information on this site has been included in good faith for general informational purposes only.
