Coffee van 'Gypsys Brew' opens at Sheffield beauty spot after lockdown love story blossomed into new business

Bianca Silcock, a yoga teacher and Rhiannon Randle, a nursing worker from Crookes, launched Gypsys Brew to showcase local ethical and sustainable delicacies from the city.

The business is located at the main entrance of Bolehills Park next to the basketball courts; this is also supported by the Sheffield City Councils ‘Better Parks’ initiative.

“Amid all the bad things that happened in the last year or so, we still met, fell in love and started following our passion to open up a business.

“This has now blossomed into a lovely family affair with our cat Molly and dog Gypsy and we are hoping to spread a little bit of magic, love and light with every brew,” the couple said.

Every weekend, the service offers drinks and snacks from Dark Woods Coffee, the Suited Baker and 4eyes Patisserie, from early morning to late afternoon.

“We are very conscious of the environment and use a company called decent packaging who take care of the recycling, with the left-over coffee is given to locals for allotments and farms. We are passionate about sustainability and we try our best to display that.
