A NEW Ukrainian cafe in Wrexham is set to bring a flavour of home to the city centre via a 'cuisine night'.

Zerno Cafe has proven very popular among residents since it launched last month.

Situated at 1-2 High Street, it offers fresh speciality coffee and homemade treats.

Ukrainian couple Yaroslav and Oksana Izviekov brought their dream of opening a small business to Wrexham after the war destroyed all plans of opening a cafe in their hometown of Chortkiv, Ukraine.

After searching across Wales for the perfect location to build a new home and business, they say that 'nowhere felt like home' more than Wrexham did.

And now, the team is set to host a 'Ukrainian cuisine night' and is inviting guests to come and sample some of the best of what their home country has to offer our taste buds.
