Shirley's Cafe - a Slice of History

To all of our wonderful customers,

We wanted to let you know about a small change to our opening days.

Like many independent cafés, we are facing increasing financial pressures, with rising running costs and the recent increase in VAT making it more challenging than ever to keep going. We’ve looked at lots of different options to keep the café viable, and after a great deal of thought, we’ve made the difficult decision to temporarily close on Wednesdays from 15th July.

We will continue to be open Thursday to Sunday, 10am–4pm, and we’ll be here with the same friendly welcome and homemade food that you’ve always supported.

If you’d like to help support our small business, one simple way is to pay by cash where possible. This helps reduce the card processing fees we pay, meaning more of every purchase stays with the café. Every little really does make a difference.

Running a small independent café isn’t easy at the moment, but your continued support, kind words and custom mean more to us than you know.

Thank you for standing by us. We truly appreciate every single one of you.
