Our business has always been built around people and community.
Our team, customers, friends and community come from many different backgrounds, cultures and walks of life — and we believe that diversity is something to value, protect and celebrate.
We want our spaces to feel welcoming, supportive and safe for everyone.
Not divided. Not hostile. Not driven by fear or exclusion.
Now more than ever, we believe in kindness, understanding and standing together as a community.
We may not always all agree on everything, but we will always choose respect, inclusivity and humanity.
That is who we are.

Back in 2010 Gareth & Andrew met, we often used to joke after a hard day at work "lets pack it all in & open a coffee shop".
Fast forward 10 years & our lives completely changed by adopting our son. Life was tough and with our son having lots of additional needs, Gareth & Andrew used to visit coffee shops to recharge & be ready for the next challenge with Riley. We often used to visit Sheffield and Leeds because Barnsley didn't cut it for coffee.
Gareth finally managed to talk Andrew into allowing him to try & open a coffee shop in Barnsley! This way we could be around for our son before & after school and Gareth would be able to work & have adult conversation!
We opened the doors to Old George 26th February 2017.
