News: Cuccini's Café in good hands

By

Cuccini's Café, in the Stag area of Rotherham, has been bought and revamped by experienced caterer Toni Mullins.

Toni, who boasts almost 20 years of catering experience in Rotherham and Sheffield, sought business advice from The Rotherham Enterprise Project to assist her purchase of Cuccini's and for the first year of operations. She officially took over in October 2010.

All meals, cakes and buns sold to Cuccini's loyal customer base are completely homemade, and Toni is bringing in seasonal, local produce to an ever-changing counter at the up-market cafe.

And an overhaul of the current menu is underway so that diners with food allergies and intolerances are well catered for and those watching their figures can easily count the calories.

"It is a fantastic atmosphere at Cuccini's thanks largely to an extremely loyal customer base, which is growing every day," said Toni.

"It is a really friendly and customer-orientated café and it is wonderful for me personally to be the owner of a local business that is very important to the local community and I intend to continue making Cuccini's a modern place delivering a modern service."

Rachel Clark, from Rotherham Investment and Development Office, one of the delivery partners of the Rotherham Enterprise Project, said: "Toni presented a detailed and pertinent business plan, which showed clear evidence of a talented and experienced catering professional as well as a potentially shrewd businesswoman.

"We are excited by Toni's desire and the early months of her new enterprise have proved very promising for her. She has a loyal customer base already and she is always looking to improve her service by hearing the voices of her clients and following through with modern ideas and concepts."

The Rotherham Enterprise Project project offers professional support for businesses and is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

Toni added: "I bumped into a friend one day whilst grabbing a sandwich and she put me in touch with The Rotherham Enterprise Project after I told her I intended to buy my own café. It was one of the most valuable pieces of advice I've ever gotten and I'm really excited about the prospects for the year ahead."
