Dr Bibi, who is also a solicitor, said: “We’ve been working on Bittersweet for some time to get everything just right – so we’re delighted to finally open and welcome customers”.

“We’re really excited to be launching Bittersweet in Oldham and become part of the Old Town Hall line-up.”

“It’s great to welcome another new business to the town centre and the Old Town Hall and we look forward to more outlets coming in the near future as we continue to progress plans to launch a food hall in the Egyptian Rooms.

“The past few months have been really difficult for all of us and it’s so important we support local businesses, so please back independents like Bittersweet and give them your custom when you can.”
