A notice was posted on the Featherstone Café Facebook page from the owner Emma Nelson to say that the café on The Avenue was now closed until further notice due to personal circumstances.

The café had opened in February 2023, taking over from the previous occupant Kafe Neo, and had built a following through its wide range of quality food and sizeable portions.

In the message, Ms Nelson said that while she understood the disappointment that customers would have, she had been forced to make the decision due to other areas of her life taking priority.

She also said that she had decided to sell the café and was looking for a new owner, asking that if anyone knew of anyone who would be interested, they should get in touch and also thanked customers for their loyal support.

The message read: "It is with regret to inform our loyal and lovely customers that Featherstone Café will be closed until further notice. 

"We know this will be disappointing for a lot of you, but unfortunately, at this time, other areas of my life need to take priority, leaving me unable to give the care and attention to the café that I think it deserves. 

"After careful thought and consideration, I have decided to sell the Café and I am advertising and looking for a new owner. 

"If anyone knows of someone looking for a new venture, then do please get in touch via our FB page. 

"Hopefully this will happen sooner rather than later as it’s such a lovely café with fabulous customers so I’ll keep you posted. 

"I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who supported us throughout our time at the café."
