Now long-standing owner Kevin Kavanagh has handed over the espresso machine and more, to employee, now owner, Xanthe Jackson.

Xanthe will be a familiar face to regular customers of Frescoes, as she has worked there for 16 years. Now at the age of 43, she is the boss:  “I’ve always loved this work and now I am excited to take on the new challenge of being the owner as we come out of lockdown.”

Kevin is concentrating on his new business: Blue Glass wine bar in St Peter’s Street, but will remain on hand to offer advice and support to the team.
