Sussex Cricket is excited to welcome Trading Post Coffee Roasters as the official coffee supplier partner to The 1st Central County Ground, with service beginning this season.

The Brighton-based coffee roasters, known for their ethically sourced, small-batch blends, will be supplying locally roasted coffee to be served on site for supporters, guests and visitors alike. 

Fans can look forward to enjoying ‘The Sharks Blend’ – a nod to the home team, as well as The ‘Boundary Blend’ filter coffee – exclusively roasted for Sussex Cricket by Trading Post, which will be served across the site, alongside Trading Post’s Rainforest Alliance certified Mountain Water Decaf.

 From matchdays to meetings, this new collaboration will enhance the coffee offering across all areas of the ground, with barista-quality coffee available from dedicated outlets and hospitality spaces.

Sussex Cricket Director of Growth, Sam Graham said: “Everyone at Sussex Cricket is delighted to partner with another outstanding local brand. Trading Post Coffee represents the very best our county has to offer, and we're proud to now serve their exceptional coffee to our members, staff, and players. 

"Both organisations share a commitment to excellence, and I’m confident this marks the beginning of a long-lasting and meaningful partnership.

“Finally, don’t forget to keep an eye out at The 1st Central County Ground for our bespoke Sussex Cricket x Trading Post blends!”

Ryan Deol, Head of Wholesale at Trading Post Coffee Roasters, commented: "We’re incredibly proud to be partnering with such a historic institution in the heart of Sussex. Sussex Cricket has a deep connection with fans across the counties, and that aligns so naturally with our own presence. Our coffee houses are spread across both East & West Sussex, serving the same communities. 

"This partnership feels like a natural fit, and we’re excited to be brewing something truly special together."
