It is with great sadness that we announce the closure of our beloved cafe. The decision has not been made lightly; we have poured our hearts into creating a space that has brought joy, laughter and community for the past two years.
Hospitality faces unprecedented challenges in achieving profitability at the moment, with small businesses struggling across the board. Our recent refit transformed our well loved tea room into a fresh new space, and while we saw an incredible increase in daily sales, it has regrettably not been sufficient to offset our unsustainable expenses.
Despite unwavering support from our amazing customers, the skyrocketing cost of goods, staff, electricity and taxes have left us unable to continue operating profitably.
We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all of you who have supported us on this journey. Your presence has made our cafe a special place, and we truly appreciate every one of you.
We hope to still see you all again soon! We have a small coffee shop in the Lower Bourne, as well as two coffee vans that we use for mobile events.
Thank you for everything!
