VISITORS to the Malvern Hills could be sipping on cappucinos, espressos and lattes for the first time next year.

Until now, mobile stalls have only been able to sell ice cream. But a Hereford coffee company is trying to persuade the Malvern Hills Conservators to give it a licence to sell a range of refreshments, including organic farmhouse ice cream and "coffee combinations".

The Conservators will discuss the application on Wednesday (January 2) and can licence up to six food and/or drink stalls each year, subject to certain conditions, such as vendors being responsible for picking up the litter that falls near their stalls.
