  For a coffee shop / stand in Dover, any suggestions for where you feel would be good to open one?

  On the promenade, but getting permission might be tricky with the other concessions already there.

  Once things get back to normal might be worth looking at the station as the cafe there closed down pre-pandemic and is unlikely to be re-opened
  
  Alternatively the area near the town council offices is the only area in central Dover without a coffee shop since The Mean Bean's owners retired

  Do you mean the Pumpkin?
  
  Think the the mean bean has been sold. It was barely on the market, which is a good sign.
  
  Think the promenade has someone in a van and then there's the place on the beach (must go and see if they're selling coffee)
  
  Thanks for those two suggestions.
  
  Any one else? I am just asking because why not.... love to hear people's views.

  The place on the beach does sell coffee - on the seafront there's also Waterfront Cafe/Starbucks, Pebbles at the other end, and I don't know if The Dover Patrol does takeaway. But maybe there'll be an opportunity in the new marina curve when it opens?

  Good point, didn't realise the marina curve would be open to public?
