About Us
Award Winning Artisan Coffee ... and more!
Blackwater & Grubb is a family run business based in Sandbach, Cheshire.
When people kept telling us there were places that needed a Grab & Go service -ideally with great tasting coffee. We responded with a van in Sandbach Park. and quickly became referred to as 'The Heart of The Park'. One year later we were getting told Sandbach was missing an artisan coffee shop, so we created The House in the heart of town.
The House is the only place in Sandbach serving multi award-winning, specialist coffee every day of the week.
We offer high-quality, great-value, award-winning artisan coffees, teas and homemade teacakes, cakes and bakes as well as hot savouries and snacks.
We endeavour to source food and drink locally to minimise "food mileage" and we exclusively use fully compostable, bio-degradeable cups, lids and packaging on our van and in our shop.
We appreciate local support for local businesses like ours and we offer a loyalty card giving customers the opportunity to earn a free drink as a thank you. Collect your card when you visit and get it stamped for every hot drink bought from us.
Whether you’ve got time to stick around or you’re just coming to grab an on-the-go bite to eat, we've got you covered.
Stop by when you are in the area! We are convenient for J17/M6 so we are a great alternative to motorway services for a recovery break or meeting with friends.
