A long-running café next to one of south Wales' best known landmarks has closed down suddenly. Fanny's Rest Stop café on Alexandra Road in Newport, a stone's throw from the Transporter Bridge, closed its doors earlier this month after more than a decade in the city.
The café opened in late 2011 and has been a mainstay in the city and was well-known for its old-style service including a mammoth chalk board of generous fry-ups, sandwiches and more, as well as the vintage signage and memorabilia adorning its walls.
Jo Evans-Pring, 67, who ran the café - which once landed itself in hot water after Google hilariously tried to ban it from advertising faggots and peas due to its "offensive" name - told WalesOnline it had closed suddenly due to a dispute with the building's landlord.
