Popular Tenby beachside café decides to stop serving food to customers because it can’t afford to

A popular Tenby beachside café will stop serving food after this weekend because the owners say they can't afford to do so any longer. The Dennis Cafe on Castle Beach in Tenby is the latest victim of the cost of living crisis hitting business.

The cafe's owners Mike Linday and his daughter Ebony said the decision to stop serving food from their cafe on the beach in Tenby had caused "a lot of sleepless nights" but they had no other option - it was stop selling food or risk going out of business altogether.

Mike, who has run the cafe for 32 years, said the fuel bills have soared from £15,000 to £50,000, rent for the premises from Pembrokeshire Council has gone up 10% and wage bills 5%. If the stops selling food they can save on gas and electric they have to run for fridge freezers and cooking.
