go past it often never many in there, the cafe the other side of the road going out of town seems to be going great guns.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Its a shame as a lot of effort went in to it but Evas across the road certainly gets most of the trade.

It is on the wrong side of the road, most of the footfall is on the other side, possibly because that is the side where the majority of the shops are.

I think the property went to auction, maybe it was always the plan to reopen the cafe and then sell the business on as a going concern? It is for sale as a leasehold.

Definitely closed this morning. Market forces I'm afraid. I feel sorry for Ozzy with all the work put in refurbishing the place.

very sad to hear it was indeed very nice inside but far too much competition around.

The old red cafe is featured on Homes Under The Hammer (BBC1) this morning, about 15 minutes in if you want to catch up iPlayer.
