Update on future of much-loved Fleetwood town centre cafe rumoured to be closing
A new leaseholder has been found
A much-loved cafe in Fleetwood that has traded for 40 years, has been taken over by a new leaseholder.
There were fears that the Dolphin Cafe on Poulton Street was closing but estate agents Harris and Co has confirmed the venue will continue to operate.
The cafe has been on the market since January and is the go-to place for breakfasts and lunches.
With an asking price for the business of £9,950, the lease included all commercial food preparation, storage and cooking equipment, as well as a fitted counter and all tables and chairs.
It’s gained a solid reputation over the years rated as 4.5/5 on Tripadvisor, with customers calling it a “gem” and one person writing: “Husband said the best English he'd ever had served on a hot plate - we'll be back .”
A spokesperson for Harris and Co said: “It isn’t closing, someone has taken over the lease.”
